Sing You Pretty Sounds

Chapter 10 - Rain Down and Destroy Me

Josh PoV

There was something off about Tyler today. I knew it as soon as I had opened the door to him. He looked like he was overthinking, or rather trying not to think at all. This wasn't a good sign but I decided that I was going to cheer him up.

"So, TyJo, what do you wanna do?" I asked hopefully. I got a shrug in reply as he looked down at the floor and bit his lip

I sighed. "Uh, we could play Mario kart? We could take a trip to Taco Bell? We could go to the park and I could push you on the swings?" I suggested the last one with a smirk and I earned a little giggle out of Tyler which I was proud of. But he still said nothing. I put my arm around his shoulders

"Come on Ty, help me out here"

"I don't know Josh, whatever you want I guess" he shrugged away from me

"What's wrong Ty? you're acting different"

"You've only known me a few weeks Josh, trust me, this isn't different. In fact this is actually very normal. I only started acting different when you came along"

"Oh"

"I'm sorry, maybe I should just go home"

"If that's what you want"

Tyler paused to think for a moment before standing up from the couch and making his way to the door. He left the apartment without so much as a 'goodbye'.

It was that night that Josh just wished he would have made Tyler stay. Maybe if he had nothing bad would have happened.
