im back and angstier than ever

tyler spent the rest if that day sitting outside of the coffee shop, chain smoking. he stopped to walk to a gas station for another pack of ciggarettes twice, but didn't ever stop thinking about josh. why was he so important? whats his destiny with him? tyler decided that a much better use of his time, would be smoking weed with jenna black, instead of fawning over some cotton candy haired boy who bought him coffee and kissed his cheek.

tyler stood infront of the large steel door and knocked sternly. he tapped his foot and waited. when the door finally opened, he was greeted with a very, very stoned teenage girl.

"hey," she coughed, "who're you here for?"
"jenna," tyler said, only slightly put off by the smoke that haunted the room.
"she'sn there," she said, pointing at a red bedroom door with a led zepplin poster clinging to it.

tyler stepped in and made his way to the door, fiddling with the edge of his shirt. he turned the door knob and peered into the room, but he caught wind of jenna moaning the name 'debby,' so he quickly shut the door and made his way out.

it was 4am and tyler is bad at night. he was sitting on a park bench, across the street from the building he was going to jump off of not even 18 hours ago. he looked down at his hand, josh's number still printed on his palm in neat hand writing. he decided to text josh.

tyler: joshua middlename lastname
josh: thatd be 'joshua william dun'
tyler: thats what i said
tyler: anyway
tyler: do you want to go on a second date? or did you just pop into my life for 30 minutes only to vanish forever
josh: yes of course, and im an alien so perhaps
tyler: deal. meet me at the coffeehouse on the corner 18th and main?
josh: gotcha. see you then, ty.
tyler: see you then, babyboy.
