Don't Leave Me Alone | TØP

Chapter 1 // Josh

I hear the crowd, jumping and singing from the top of their lungs the lyrics of our songs.

I keep drumming faster while I see Tyler wandering around the stage, interacting with the fans and singing.

I feel happy. I love doing this. I love seeing every single one of our fans happy. I even love seeing Tyler happy.

But the concert is coming to an end. I hear Tyler thanking everyone for coming, says a couple of words more and I stand up and join his side.

Then Tyler says "We are twenty one pilots and so are you!" and we both finish the concert. As soon as the lights go off we quickly walk backstage. I see people carrying the drums and the piano out of stage.

Now that we're backstage I run to reach Tyler's side. He smiles when he sees me.

"Hey Josh." He takes a sip from the water bottle in his hands. "Are you okay?"

I touch my forehead and then I realize I'm sweating a lot.

"Is kind of hot here." I try to smile too.

I rub my eyes, trying not to spoil the red eyeliner in them.

Tyler walks to the small fridge we have backstage and takes out a bottle of water. He hands me the bottle and I take a quick sip.

"Do you have any plans tomorrow?" He asks me.

"Uh... What?"

"We have three free days before we go on the road again." Tyler answers, his voice sounds concerned.

To be honest, I forgot.

"Oh, yeah. Sorry." I shrug. "No, I don't have any plans. Why? I thought you were going to see Jenna."

"Well, yes, but I also want to go somewhere with you and the crew before I go." Tyler rubs his head.

That sounds weird, but I nod.

Tyler smiles again and walks away from me. I follow him, having a weird feeling about this. But I shake my head and I try to forget about it.

We rushed into the tour bus and the first thing I did there was lay down in my bed and try to rest a bit, but I couldn't. I had that weird feeling again.

I sigh heavily after my failed attempt to fall asleep. I hear Tyler talking to someone on the phone. Probably Jenna.

I sigh again and I get up to join Tyler's side. Apparently he hung up the phone when he saw me, and I found that pretty odd.

Tyler smiles and I smile back.

"Who were you talking to?" I ask, raising an eyebrow.

"Jenna." He says. "And what about you? Weren't you going to sleep?"

I shake my head. "I can't sleep."

Tyler bites his lip and then sighs.

"I'm hungry. Do you want to go somewhere to eat?" He says after a while. "I'm kinda tired of the food here."

"What about Starbucks?"

He nods after gigling for a while. "Okay. Let's go then."
