|Tyler|

 I don't care if I get frostbite. I don't care about anything right now. I just need to get away from my mom and everyone else. I just can't handle it.

 I put my earbuds in, and played my playlist. It was cold outside, very, but not snowing. I got a few texts from my brother Zack:

Zack; tyler where are you??

Zack; tyler i just want to know if you're safe

I decided to text him back. He seems to be the only one in our family that cares about me. After I came out everyone treated me like burned popcorn.

Tyler; i'm okay zack

Zack; okay just be safe tyler okay?

Tyler; i'll try

 I turned my phone off and looked around me. I don't even know where I am. Great. Just great. I pulled the sleeves of my hoodie over my hands, put my hood on, and shivered. 

 I sat down on the sidewalk and brought my knees to my chest. My fingers are all numb. I just felt the tears come out. They warmed my cold cheeks. I just hate myself. I wish I was the perfect child like Jay, Zack, or Madison. But no, I have to be Tyler. Ugly, dumb Tyler.

 Someone touched my shoulder, and I gasped. I stood up quickly and took my earbuds out. Fuck. I wiped my face with my sleeve and took my earbuds out. In front of me stood a blue haired man, probably the same age as me, or older. 

 "Tyler? Tyler Joseph?" His eyes widened. How does he even know my name? Then I realized who he was. "Jason Den?"

"Josh Dun."

"Yeah. I haven't seen you since high school. How's it going?" I asked. He smiled at me. Josh and I were friends in high school like two years ago. We had this really big argument, and we just stopped being friends. He was one of my closest friends. My only friend. I honestly haven't been doing that well without him. "Great." I lied.

 "You don't look so great, Tyler. It's cold and you shouldn't be out here in a thin hoodie. I'll drive you home, if you want me to," Josh looked over at his car, parked over at the sidewalk behind us.

"No, Josh. I can't go home. I don't want to." I looked down and my shoes. "Okay, but I can't leave you out here Tyler. At least let me take you to my apartment. I'll get you some taco bell."

"I'm always a slut for taco bell."

[Some time later]

"Thanks again, Josh." I don't want to bring up the argument. Maybe he forgot about it. Of course he didn't. "Anytime, baby boy. You can stay as long as you want." Josh smiled. I really missed that smile. I feel really bad about the argument still. 

 "Josh, I'm sorry." Josh frowned. "Tyler, it's okay. I'm over it." He took a bite of his dorito taco thing. "Okay, if you say so."

 "Tyler, we'll go pick your stuff up tomorrow when I get off of work." Josh finished up and threw his stuff away. "You can sleep in my bedroom tonight, and I'll sleep on the couch."

"No, Josh. I'll sleep on the couch. I would feel bad if you had to sleep on your own couch."

"But you're the guest."

"But you're the Josh."

 And so we ended up sleeping in the same bed. Josh literally almost kicked me off of the bed in his sleep. At least I think he was sleeping.
