Chapter 3

Tyler's POV

I woke up at around 5am to the sounds of birds chirping. It was always such a peaceful sound to hear in the morning. It was even more peaceful to imagine what birds look like. I was always up early enough to hear my parents and brother wake up. But I would just lay down in my bed and think about everything. Sometimes it was actually quite nice to just lay down and listen to the sounds of everyone rushing. Listen to my parents say their goodbyes to each other. I always loved just listening to things and imagining how they  looked. Unfortunately for me today was not a day where I got to lay in bed until 8am and just listen and think.
Josh opened my room door and walked in and closed it. "Tyler. You awake?" He said ever so softly and I just stood quite. Hoping he'd go away. Unfortunately he did not leave. "Tyler wake up." He said starting to softly tap my shoulder. I stood still again hoping he would just leave my room. Apparently Josh is persistent as he would not leave me alone. Finally after 10 minutes of him trying to 'wake me up' I gave in. "What is it Josh?" I asked pushing myself to sit up. "Get up and put some sweat pants on we're going on a run." He said and I could sense his smile. I grunted. I didn't want to go but I knew he would just beg me until I agreed to go. "Alright, alright I'm going." I said getting up from my bed and walking towards my dressers. "Do you um... Do you need any help?" He asked and I could hear him shuffling his feet. "No, I'm fine. Thanks." I said opening a random drawer and searching for my sweat pants. "That ones full of jeans." He said closing I for me and opening another one. "Here you go." He said handing me my sweat pants. Truth is, my mom usually takes out my clothes for me so I don't really know what's where. "Thanks." I said smiling. I heard my room door open and close so I walked into my bathroom to brush my teeth.
In the 24 hours I've known Josh I already know he isn't good at faking anything. I knew he never walked out of my room, I could feel him looking at me as I walked into my bathroom. "Josh, can you help me put the toothpaste on my toothbrush?" I asked with a slight smirk on my face. I heard him chuckle and then say, "so it is true that when you lose one sense the others get better." Yea okay that is actually true,not like if admit that though. "Well, not really you're just a bad liar." I said walking into the bathroom and grabbing my toothbrush.
     "Um wow rude much Joseph?" He said in the most sarcastic tone ever. "Um wow sarcastic much Dun?" I asked putting my hand on my hip and turning to the door. "Tyler? You're um.. You're facing the wall you doof." He said turning me around to face him. " I meant to face the wall you dork." I said turning to the sink and turning on the water. "Well we have no time to go on a run now so how about we just get you ready." He said sitting on the toilet and taking my toothbrush.
              -time skip cause I'm lazy-
     About an hour and two Blink-182 related dance parties later we were ready to leave. "Alright let's go loser." I said walking out of my room. "Said the one wearing a pastel halsey shirt, a flower crown, skinny jeans and pastel coloured vans." Jøsh said walking out behind me and closing the door. "Hey! It's called aesthetic Mr.Dun." (Literally me though) "your aesthetic looks amazing but Halsey, really?" He said running down the stairs. I followed him down the stairs and out the door and into the car. "Well my outfit is probably better than yours so shush." I said with sass. "I'm wearing black skinny jeans, and alien shirt that says 'I want to believe' a jean jacket, a SnapBack and old school vans. I look better than you." He said starting the car. "But I have more aesthetic and I match so I win!" I said turning up the radio which was playing For Baltimore by All Time Low. "Yass!!!! I love this song!" I said as Josh turned it up to max volume. Next thing I knew we were driving to school screaming All Time Low lyrics at the top of our lungs. "Hey ty, do you actually wanna meet my girlfriend or do you just wanna get to the school and chill for like 20 minutes?" Josh asked turning down the music. I thought about it for a few minutes. Is he really willing to hang out with me over hanging out with his girlfriend? He just met me wtf even. "You sure you wanna hang out with me instead of your girlfriend? I mean I'm just a freshman I'll just hang out with my translator." I put my head down. There's no way in hell he'd pick me over his girlfriend. "Of course I wanna hang out with you!! Dude you're super rad, you can play the ukulele and the piano.plus you can sing. You're like one of the coolest people to hang out with." He sounded so very enthusiastic as the words left his mouth. Like he meant what he said and wasn't just saying it. "Sure why not, let's hang out at school then Josh." The biggest smile was plastered across my face. Yea, just wait until he finds out your dirty little secret. Then he'll never want to go near you again. He'll regret he ever wanted to be your friend. I shuddered slightly. Josh wouldn't do that to me. Would he? I mean it's possible he could. That voice was right though. Josh would probably hate me if he found out I was gay. I sighed out loud. Well I guess I'm never gonna tell him.

So that was quite shit. But hey it's an update and it's been a while so here enjoy. -mel xx
