Chapter 2

Tyler's POV

    I sat up in bed. I could hear the tv downstairs so I assumed it wasn't that late. I must've taken a nap thinking it was later. Stupid sleeping schedule. Oh sure. Blame it on a "sleeping schedule." Always placing the blame on other things and never yourself. That's why you're a failure. God why can I never turn off that voice. It was always mocking me every chance it got. I got out of bed and walked downstairs. "Tyler! Good you're finally awake. The neighbors just came by." My mom said very cherry. Oh yea, the Duns. They seem like very nice people. I mean I guess. I've only met Mr and Mrs. Dun.
   Their son, Josh, is never around. He's always hanging with his friends, playing soccer or doing his school work. I heard someone get up from the couch and I assumed it was Mrs.Dun she, unlike her husband is a very sweet person. "Tyler! Hello sweetie, how are you doing?" She asked eagerly hugging me. I smiled and hugged back. "I'm doing fine Mrs.Dun. You're looking rather beautiful today." I said and we all let out small laughs. I always made jokes like that. It was a way to cope with being blind.
I walked over to the couch and sat down. "So Tyler, you're going to be starting high school tomorrow, are you excited?" Lily (Jøshs mom obviously) asked. "Barely. I don't know anyone there." I said slumping back into the couch. "What high school are you going to again Tyler?" She asked curiosity and hope laced in her voice. "Im not sure what it's called but it's about 20 minutes from here." I said playing with my shirt. "Ohh, you'll be going to school with Jøsh then. He can show yo- I mean walk you around the school." She said and I could sense the smile on her face. I fought back a smile,I've never seen Josh but from what I hear he's pretty damn hot and really sweet. "That's cool, I'll finally have somewhat of a friend." I said and I felt my cheeks heat up. "You'll have two Tyler, his girlfriend.. Oh what's her name? I think it's Debby, she'll probably hangout with you as well." She said and as the word girlfriend left her mouth I frowned. He's straight. I've always been known to catch feelings for straight guys. It's the reason I've been single all my life. "That's great. I'm excited for tomorrow already." I said faking a smile. I could feel someone get off the couch but it wasn't my mom or lily. Than who the hell just got off the couch? "Yea I'm excited to walk him around the school. It'll be fun, he gets some friends and I get to help out plus new friend." A third voice said clapping me on the shoulder. Josh. His voice was... Soft yet masculine. It was beautiful to me. "Josh?" I asked just to be sure. "The one and only." He said. "Oh I didn't know you were here." I said lightly blushing. He let out a light laugh. I had to remind myself he was straight so my cheeks wouldnt turn fire truck red.
It was silent for a moment. Josh didn't move and neither did I. Finally my mom broke the silence. "So, Josh why don't you go with Tyler down to the basement or his room. You guys can hang out for a little while." If I could see my eyes would be shooting daggers at me mom. "Yea! That sounds sick." Josh agreed very cherry. Like his mom. "Sick as frick." I said smiling. I walked Josh, or well, he walked me downstairs into the basement. Nobody uses the basement expect me. So everything that doesn't fit in my room comes down here. My piano,my second ukulele, some CDs, and some penny boards. Yea that's right the blind person can penny board. My brother taught me and always rides with me so I don't get hurt. "So,this is like your music room?" Josh asks and I can tell he's walking around looking at all the posters my mom and brother put up. "Heh yea I guess it is." I said make my way over to my piano and pick up my ukulele. "You play anything?" I asked Josh. "Yea, I can play the drums. I guess." He said sitting next to me. Good god is there anything he can't do? Yea can't be gay or bi. Unlike you, you little freak. That wasn't one of the worst insults. So I just ignored it. "There's a pair of drumsticks over there, I'm planning on learning how to play the drums soon." I said and pointed in the direction I assumed they were. "You're pointing at a picture of Halsey Ty." Josh said chuckling. "The drums sticks are by the door. Right below the picture of Halsey you dork." I said smiling. My mom told me where I could find the sticks so I memorized it.
He got up and walked over to my set of sticks. When he came back I told him to just go along with the song. I started playing my ukulele and I got extremely nervous. Nobody has ever heard me play except my family. I just feel comfortable around Josh like he won't judge me.
She asked me, "Son, when I grow old,
Will you buy me a house of gold?
And when your father turns to stone,
Will you take care of me?"

She asked me, "Son, when I grow old,
Will you buy me a house of gold?
And when your father turns to stone,
Will you take care of me?"

I will make you queen of everything you see,
I'll put you on the map,
I'll cure you of disease.

Let's say we up and left this town,
And turned our future upside down.
We'll make pretend that you and me,
Lived ever after happily.

She asked me, "Son, when I grow old,
Will you buy me a house of gold?
And when your father turns to stone,
Will you take care of me?"

I will make you queen of everything you see,
I'll put you on the map,
I'll cure you of disease.

And since we know that dreams are dead,
And life turns plans up on their head,
I will plan to be a bum,
So I just might become someone.

She asked me, "Son, when I grow old,
Will you buy me a house of gold?
And when your father turns to stone,
Will you take care of me?"

I will make you queen of everything you see,
I'll put you on the map,
I'll cure you of disease.
I smiled when the song finished. "That was really good Ty." Josh said and I could sense the smile on his face. "Your drumming on my piano was good too Josh." I said. It was I mean it fit perfectly with the song. I wanted to ask him what he looked like but I felt like that was weird. His phone beeped and I heard some clicking. "Hey guess what. I get to stay the night here. My mom wants us to get to know each other before school." He said like a little kid about to stay at their best friends house. I wanted to be extremely excited but I fought the urge and just smiled. "So what's the name of that song?" He asked. "Oh it doesn't have a name yet." I said looking down. I always felt ashamed for not giving my songs names. "What about house of gold?" He suggested and I liked it. So I wrote it down and Josh wrote it down somewhere else.
We worked on other songs. Some he just wanted to hear me play others he drummed along to. I don't know how long we were down there but eventually my mom came down and told us to hit the hay. My brother gave Josh some sweats. We said our goodnight and he walked to our guest bedroom. You're falling for him. You're gonna get hurt you pathetic shit. You think he'll ever like you?? He's gonna think you're a freak when he finds out you're gay. He's only going to pity you. "Shut up already." I mumbled and crawled into bed.
