Better Off Dead Then With Dun -Joshler

Chapter Twelve

The boys had planned to go out and get coffee but first they had to get changed of course.

Once they'd chosen their outfits, they made their way to the door which they opened carelessly.

Tyler quickly grabbed Josh's hand and entwined their fingers, smiling down at him as Josh perked up and pressed his lips on Tyler's cheek.

"So, about your reput-"

"HEY!"

A voice from down the hall pierced Ty with fear. He knew the voice

He knew the tone.

A large group of people led by the same girls which would beat Tyler up headed towards them

"Shit Josh, what do we do?"

But Josh was utterly petrified because what Tyler didn't notice was that they'd hadn't come empty handed

Some carried baseball bats

And some carried large chunks of scrap metal, wood and basically anything you'd find laying on a heap.

They both stood still, shocked. Tyler was squeezing Josh's hand with so much force that his nuckles where turning white.

"They want me" Tyler chocked on his words

"They was us, and besides they're not having you" Josh turned towards the other boy

He cupped Tyler's face into his hands and kissed him on the forehead gently.

"YOU DIRTY DAMN HOMOSEXUALS!"

"SCUM LIKE YOU DONT DESERVE TO LIVE!"

Josh turned round and spat, clasping Tys hand again a bad began running to the elevator.

They hit the bottoms aimlessly until the reassuring "Lift going down" was heard

"Tyler, we have to run in different directions, you go left and I'll go right. We'll meet at Starbucks okay?"

Tyler agreed.

He was terrified to loose Josh

The lift doors opened and the boys began sprinting out

Stick to the plan Tyler

Stick to the plan

------

Tyler had found himself running down an alley

He questioned himself many questions as he ran aimlessly

Was this really worth it?

He realised there was a place he could slot in and hide for a while.

Ty slipped his skinny body inside it and pushed himself against the wall

He heard foot steps clambering down the exact alley which made him slide down, cradling his knees

He wanted to sob and he wanted to die.

Fingers crept around the corner, followed by a head which looked around and then down

Tyler kept still, hoping that's he'd leave

But instead he lunged forward, grabbing Tys shirt and lifted him up

Their faces where close but Tyler didn't make a sound. He couldn't

They began moving into the light and Tyler knew he was a goner, he looked up and saw a large group of males

With baseball bats

"Well Tyler Joseph the homo-hoe really did hook up with Josh?" The guy lent forward kissing Tylers cheeks

Was this supposed to embarrass him?

"Awh come on pretty boy, the girls have gone to track Josh down and fuck him so why can't we do the same with you?" The guy said, licking his lips provoking the other boys to laugh

"Fuck you" Tyler spat, swinging his leg into the guys balls which lead him to repel forward and drop Tyler

But before he could scramble away, his leg was being dragged and a swift crack hit him.

Tyler screamed in pain as he had to get up and hobble frantically

It was like an electric shock every time he placed his foot down, he couldn't handle it

They'd hit his leg so hard that they'd broken the bat.

Every step Tyler took, the more painful it got

The coffee shop is just out there

"Where you going tiger?" The guy spat back as he began to walk towards the hobbling boy

Tyler broke into another sprint, blood rushing out of his head.

He was in so much pain

The walls had become blurry

Mad thuds echoed behind him as he made it out of the alley

He rushed straight into the coffee shop, smashing into a coffee table and landing on a couch

The boys rushed in after him and one jumped onto his lap and bent down to his face

His breathe tickled Tyler's neck which made him wimper

"Awhh kitten doesn't want to play" a hand thudded on Tyler's crotch which made him groan out of pain

His head shot back seeing someone familiar running towards him

Red is for danger, after all

Black
