Unknown: hey... Mark I need your advice man and idk what to do please text back asap

Josh hears his phone ding and fishes it out of his back pocket.

Josh: Hey, you have the wrong number. Sorry, dude. I can still try to give you advice though?(:

Unknown: okay um alright that's be great.. Thanks I just... You have to swear not to tell anyone, please

"Unknown" is shaking at this point.

Josh: Yeah, of course. Your secret is safe with me.

Unknown: okay... So I just don't know what to do right now... I came home and there was a family over, and this really pretty girl named Jenna my parents are trying to set me up with. She's really beautiful and nice it's just... I'm gay. And my parents don't know it yet I'm so lost.

Josh: Okay... Well you're not alone there. If it's not too hard then you should probably just sit them down and tell them. How do they feel about gay people?

"Unknown" was tearing up because he knew he hated admitting his parents were like this

Unknown: well, they just, they don't accept gay people. I guess they're kinda like... Homophobic...

Josh: Well then I guess you're stuck between a rock and a hard place, yeah? That's rough. Maybe you could fake it until you make it. Or you could tell Jenna what's up. Make her aware of the situation and she could help out.

Unknown: yea I really hope so man... Or is that right?? I'm sorry I know nothing about you I uh usually just don't talk to people like this im sorry to bother you

Josh: Yeah I'm a man. And hey you're not bothering me! I love helping people out with stuff. What's your name?

Unknown: my name is Tyler... And I don't think I ever really caught yours either... Thanks man, you're sick as frick for helping me out

Josh: My name is Josh! And hey thank you. You seem like you'd be a pretty cool dude.

Tyler: thanks man you too! idk about me I'm just kinda the outcast at school... But it's whatever... I focus on my music now so it doesn't matter much

Josh: Music is cooler than people. I love music!

Tyler: music is my favorite thing man!! I spend so much time on it that I don't really care about much else

Tyler had just lit up with the biggest smile he's ever had. Maybe he could make a friend.

Josh grins and nods.

Josh: Same here! What kind of music do you like??

Tyler: oh gosh that's a tough one man.. I kinda like a little of everything, what about you??

Josh: Me too. I'm not picky. Music is music!

Tyler: yeah man!! Anything that has a sick beat, is something I don't mind

Josh: Do you play any instruments??

Tyler: yeah, I'm pretty decent at the piano and the ukulele, I mean those are what I play most, do you?

Josh: I'm a drummer. I'm pretty good, I think.

Tyler: that's really sick man!! Dude I hate to end this convo to an end, but holy dang it's 2 a.m. Wanna talk tomorrow??

Tyler couldn't help smiling because he felt like he just made a real connection.

Josh: Definitely! Talk to you tomorrow(:

Josh smiles because he feels like he made a friend.
