Author's note: Warning: TRIGGER WARNING (depressing thoughts) Anyway, hey guys!! I hope you're all enjoying the story so far! This week, starting Wednesday, I'll be on Thanksgiving break. So expect a few more updates since I'll have lots of spare time this week. I hope you all enjoy this new chapter! :)

When the sun begins to go down, I stand up and stretch my arms.
"Thank you for always being there for me."
"Of course. You are one of my favorite people after all."
"But my dad is your favorite."
"Not when he kicks me out of the band again, he's not."
I laugh. It was a warm laugh that I hadn't had in such a long time. All thanks to Uncle Josh.
"He kicked you out again? Dad needs to find his chill."
"I completely agree," He smiles and stands up. He puts his arm around my shoulders and he starts leading me to the car. We were a while away from reaching the parking lot, so we kept talking.
"Hey Cath."
"Yeah?"
"How are you feeling?"
I widen my eyes for a second in shock then shake my head a bit.
"The usual."
"You're lying."
"I know."
"Why do you lie about how you feel?"
"I don't want to be a burden. I don't want to add another weight on my parent's shoulders. I don't want mom and dad to worry about me. I don't want them to be in pain because of me."
"Cath, you can't keep hiding how you feel. It's unhealthy."
"Uncle Josh-"
"Cath, let me finish."
I close my mouth and listen.
"Please, please tell Tyler. He can help you, I know he can."
"I don't want to hurt him. I don't want him to think that the way I'm feeling is his fault."
"I can't keep hiding this from Tyler. He's bound to find out sooner or later."
"I just- I don't know," I look down at the ground and sigh.
"This isn't your fault. Please don't think that it is."
"Why me?"
"Because you're one of the strongest people I've ever met and you can handle it."
"My mind's shipwrecked. This is the only land I could find."
"I know," He turns towards me and puts both of his hands on my shoulders. He looks me straight in the eye.
"Catharsis, please tell them. I'm begging you. I could be with you while you tell them. I'm here for you. We all are."
