Kitchen Sink (twenty one pilots)

Chapter One

"MELANIE!" my mother called, I let out a long sigh before sticking my leg out of my warm quilt.

"IM COMING." I lied, deciding it would be a better idea to keep my leg warm instead of letting it freeze, It wasn't school anyway, why was she getting me up so early? I heard footsteps walking up the wooden stairs.

"Melanie, its 6am! we need to take Josh and Tyler to the airport hun, please get up." she said with a hint of sadness in her voice. My heart sank, today my brother and best friend will be gone for months and I honestly don't know how I will manage. They always make me laugh, not like I hate school or anything. But without them around everything will be so different. I wont wake up and realise Tyler has stayed around out my house without realising, or going and standing on the basement stairs and listening to Josh drumming and getting overwhelmed with how successful my brother is now.

I slipped out of bed and stepped over piles of dirty clothes and different art sketch books and any other things you may find on my bedroom floor, I just cant be bothered to clean y'know? I pulled out my hard wooden draws and found the nearest plain white t-shirt I could find and pulled it over my head, not bothering about the vest top I already have on. I left my leggings on and pulled my frizzy brown hair into a seriously messy bun, half of it already falling out. I grabbed my phone and stuck a bobby pin into my mouth and darted downstairs. Josh greeted me with a warm smile and I felt my face drop, as did Josh's.  He walked over and wrapped his arms around my, his head resting on mine. A tear slipped out of my eyes and I sniffed.

"C'mon big brother, we need to get you to the airport!" I smiled, trying to make it seem as I was happy. He gave me a smile and wiped away his tear ready to slip down his cheek, I started to walk outside, taking the bobby pin from my mouth and slipping it into my hair, trying to secure it. Josh walked up to me and wrapped his arm around my shoulder.

"I'm going to miss you Mel, I promise we wont be gone for long and you can text me at anytime, and facetime in the day when we are travelling." He told me, trying to hide his own sadness that he has to leave me and my family. We was driving to Tyler's now, then we was going for breakfast at McDonalds. I sat next to Josh in the car and I rested my head on his. We have always been like best friends, Josh and I, even though we are siblings. Apart from Tyler of course.

We got to Tyler's and he walked out of the door, a dorky smile plastered against his face as he saw Josh. He bolted up to the car, dragging his black suitcases behind him and sat next to me, leaving me in the middle.

" Hi Mel." He said to me, looking down at his thumbs, not wanting to make eye contact.

"Hi Tyler." I looked at him, staring at him as he played with his thumbs. He is such a beautiful human, and I don't say this in a relationship way but he is just a beautiful person. His personality is golden, literally golden.

The drive to McDonalds was awful, everybody was sad about Tyler and Josh leaving, we playing cant help falling in love, their cover and I cried. I tried to hide it so Josh or Tyler didn't realise, but obviously Tyler did and he put his arm around me and pulled me into a side hug, making me cry even harder. I stepped out of the car, nearly falling out of it.

"I WANT PANCAKES!" Josh screamed, making me laugh. He bounded into the desolate store with my mum and dad, leaving me and Tyler outside. He grabbed my hand and intertwined his fingers in-between mine.

"Mel, promise me if you ever need me, or need a laugh you will call me up. I could fly you out or even.." He stuttered.

"Tyler, please calm down, I promise you." I gave him a promising look and dragged him into McDonalds. He followed behind me and we sat at the table everybody else was sat at. I told my mum I didn't want anything to eat and gave me a sympathetic look.

Finishing up in McDonalds, we all piled into the car and set off to the airport,  it was a three hour drive and each minute it was getting more painful. We listened to nearly all of blurry face and Tyler and Josh both held my hands, there flight was only 4 hours as they wasn't flying far from Ohio. So by the time we had probably drove home from the airport, they will be landing anyway. Tyler leant on me and sang quietly, only loud enough for me to here him singing the verse,

take my hand

take my  whole life too,

cause' I cant  help falling in love with you.

I have never thought of Tyler in any other way but a very close friend, we acted like a couple a lot and I lot of people are mistaken when they first meet us, but I could never date him... it just feels wrong?

TYLERS POV

I have to leave Mel today, she has been my best friend for so long and I don't know how long we are leaving for, I booked an extra ticket in case she wanted to come a long but I haven't asked, I cant get in the way of her own career, she needs to peruse in what ever she wants to do.

I am so excited to leave for tour, but I'm so sad to see everybody I have to leave, I feel like its my fault I made Melanie cry, I only ever want to see her cry with happiness from me, not with sadness because i'm leaving her all alone. she likes school but she hardly has any friends and she relied on me to hang our with her at the park or the mall and make her laugh. who will she do that with know? what if she forgets about me or replaces me?

She always has Josh, its her brother but im not related, im just a good friend and she could easily forget about me if I'm gone for so long.

We pulled up to the airport and I linked arms with Melanie and dragged her along with me, I hsted airports, they were always so busy and you cant have any privacy without people staring at you, we all walked over to the seats, unfortunately Josh's parents and Melanie wasn't allowed through security to come and say goodbye so we had to do it here. I grabbed Melanie and dragged her over to once side, behind a corner where nobody could see us so we could say goodbye without being stared at.

"Im going to miss you so so so much Mel.." I told her, trying to stop the tears from falling. She said nothing but slammed her lips into mine, I was shocked but started to kiss back. I felt her tears on my cheek and I pulled away, leaning down and looking into her eyes and wiping them away. I kissed her head and pulled her into a tight hug.

"Please, promise you wont forget about me." She managed to choke out, I shook my head and told her I would never forget about her, this wasn't the first time we had kissed, but it was the first meaningful one. She never kissed me with such force and to me it felt right.

MELANIES POV

I pressed my lips into Tylers and everything I said about him and I not being able to date seemed to slip away for a second, it felt right but it could never happen, I promised myself that I wouldn't fall in love with somebody who was so successful, it wouldn't be fair on either of us. I will have to forget about the kiss, everything that was swinging my choices. and it wouldn't be fair on josh either, I cant date his band member, it would be so horrible for him and seeing me and Tyler together. Although, I do pray that Josh finds somebody while he is away, he deserves it so much, she is such an amazing person and deserves all the success that he is gaining recently and more.. 

I walked away and went to say goodbye to Josh, he ran up and picked me up, spinning me around. I laughed as he placed me down and pulled me into a hug.

"Okay, when you're home, text me, and as soon as I reach the hotel I will facetime you, okay?" He looked into my eyes, I nodded before hugging him one more time. They both walked over to check in and Tyler turned around and looked at me before turning around again.

Then they were gone, disappeared into the crowds of people rushing to be somewhere. I wont see them for months now and the only way I can see them is if I buy I ticket out, which I cant afford as im still in school and I have no job apart from my part time work at the horse stables, in which  I get $20 a week.
