Sing You Pretty Sounds

Chapter 5 - Silence Gives You Space

Tyler PoV

It had been about 2 weeks since I saw the red haired boy, Josh. The day that I met him at the record store I had been so nervous, probably because he was so beautiful. That was weird of me to say but it was true. I rarely saw things as beautiful but he was an exception. In fact, I had been so nervous that I forgot all about the cuts underneath my sleeves and my first instinct when I saw his eyes widen was to run, so I did. I almost regretted it, I missed his company instantly. He was one of the only people that was willing to hold a conversation with me.

'He just pitied you Tyler'

Anyway, like I said it had been two weeks and he was still on my mind. So I did the only thing I could think of and went back to the store. It was probably a stupid idea but I had to see him again.

I showered and got dressed and actually made a bit of an effort. I wore my best jeans and some aftershave. I even did my hair. What was I doing? I was going to the record store not on a date.

'Why bother? He's not interested'

I found myself running to the record store. I wasn't sure why but I still ran. When I got there I couldn't see Josh anywhere. I felt my heart sink and I was about to leave when I heard a familiar voice

'Tyler?'
