"Tyler, what happened?" Josh, Tyler's best friend asks him, a worried expression dominant on his face.

"J-Josh," The trembling being chokes out, clinging to Josh.

"Shh, Ty, you're safe now, please, what happened?" Josh asks again, holding Tyler close.

After a few minutes, Tyler tells him everything, but decides to leave out the part when Jackson's hands were around his throat.

Josh wraps his arms around The smaller boy so hard, he can't breathe. But Tyler doesn't care, at this very moment, he needs it.

The two boys sit, wrapped up in each other. When Tyler pulls away, he looks at Josh.

"I'm sorry," Tyler half smiles, pointing to Josh's tear-stained shirt.

Josh chuckles, but soon turns into a serious face. He runs his fingers over Tyler's neck. "He touched you, didn't he?" His eyes turn a dark color before he pushes Tyler off of him and stands up. "I'm going to kill that son of a bitch."

"Josh! Wait, I deserved it. I told him I wish he wasn't my-" Tyler tries to defend him, as he always does, but Josh cut him off.

"I don't give a damn what you said. He fucking put his hands on you! That isn't okay!" He yells and Tyler backs away, too used to associating yelling with hitting.

His face softens, and he stretches his arms out, wrapping Tyler in the arms he knows too well. Tyler 

breathes in his minty fresh scent.

"It wasn't the first time," Tyler whispers against Josh's shoulder, figuring now would be the best time to tell him EVERYTHING, even the parts he really doesn't want to.

Tyler pulls away from Josh, takes a deep breath and looks in Josh's beautiful brown eyes.

Tyler shakes his head, trying to remember what he was going to tell him. Tears start to develop in boy's eyes, blurring his vision. He tells him about all the times Jackson's yelled, brought up his 

parents, beat him, even how he's sexually assaulted him.

Josh is Tyler's best friend, and he trusts him with his life, but Tyler has never told him about Jackson 

in that much detail, Josh never knew Jackson was THAT fucked up.

When Tyler finishes, he searches Josh's face for any type of emotion. Nothing. Tyler start breathing heavy, his heart pounding so loud, he thought it would beat right out his chest. Even though the two 

young men are a few feet apart, Tyler thinks Josh can hear his heartbeat.

He starts to feel dizzy, his brain won't stop thinking. Tyler's brain is screaming horrid things at him, he can't breathe. He doesn't realize the tears falling from his face until he feels a thumb pressed against his cheek, wiping them away. 

Tyler tries to make them stop falling, but it's no use. He's had panic attacks in front of his best friend before, but they were just minor. He's never had one this bad except alone in his (and Jackson's) room. Josh reaches to Tyler, but Tyler ignores it and stands up. He's shaking so bad, he's afraid his knees are going to give out and he's going to fall straight on his ass. 

Tyler runs as fast as he can, trying to get to the bathroom. He holds onto the railing as he flies up the stairs. He hears Josh coming after him, but Tyler runs into the bathroom before Josh could grab him. 

He locks the door and curls into a ball on the floor, rocking himself, trying to take deep breaths and focus on the things within the room. Tyler tries his best to ignore the bangs on the door, singing to himself softly, before closing his eyes and falling asleep.
