Josh was feeling extremely down 3 days ago, Tyler couldn't give him the strength he needed, if he was not there. All the energy that once flowed within him, that made him perform so powerfully, had all been drained away, as if it was never there. Josh knew from the moment he last spoke to Tyler, things were going to go downhill, and they had done just that. Josh knew what to do now.

2 days ago, Josh decided to leave, leave his home, leave his friends, leave his family. Leave everything behind. He didn't want his belongings as he believed that it would leave a constant reminder of what had happened. So he simply walked out the front door, not telling anyone where was going.

He arrived at his destination fairly swiftly after leaving. It wasn't too far, yet no-one would find him. He sat for a while outside, in a field filled with rocks, each one was different, each carried their own stories inside. Josh found a particular rock he liked most, and sat beside that one instead, he stared at it for what seemed like hours, but was only a few minutes.

Josh ate something, then drank immediately afterwards. He lay down next to his favourite rock, and fell asleep. He felt peaceful and calm. He knew that when he woke up he could go to his favourite place and find he favourite person, Tyler. He knew where Tyler was, so he wanted to visit him, and be with him again. His family would miss him, as Tyler was very far away, but they would understand in the end.

Yesterday, Josh found Tyler. He was so happy when he did. Tyler was ecstatic to see Josh; he told Josh that it wasn't his fault about what happened. He said that he was drunk too, and that he knew what he was doing was wrong but due to being intoxicated, he carried on. He said that he didn't see the truck. And that he wasn't in pain anymore. He was happy.

And so was Josh.

Today, Josh was found, at least, his body was. By joining Tyler it meant that he could never go back to his family. But that's what he wanted. Which is why he did it. The last thing Josh remembers before falling asleep and joining Tyler, were the words etched into the 'rock'.

Wow, that was really hard to write! I'm sorry if it doesn't make too much sense, I wanted to leave it to your imagination about what happened, but I gave you some idea. It's all down to your personal interpretation.

Tell me what you think happened!

Stay Alive friends,
