- Friday morning -

I woke up comforted by Tylers arms around me. My back was killing me but that was alright because he made everything better.
We slept on joshs couch last night because we hung out pretty late and both of us were too lazy to drive. I layed there for a few minutes, every now and then glancing and him. He was a peaceful sleeper. I love him.
I slowly got up to used the washroom. I moved quickly and quietly. I got into the washroom and splashed my face with a little bit of water. I checked my phone ; 11:00 am
I stood there, just staring at myself. I didn't know what to think. I have never really loved myself. But Tyler makes me forget about all of that. But for some reason, everything has gone downhill lately.
I quickly snap out of my thoughts and head down stairs to see a very sleeping Tyler on his phone.
"Goodmorning sleeping head" I smiled.
"Good morning" he said in a raspy voice, after quickly putting away his phone once he heard me.  "What time is it?"
"A littler after 11" I said, a little confused because he was just on his phone, andI took a seat next to him.
"Well that's great. So I have to wake Josh up right now and we have to get going. Already."
"What are you talking about?" I asked.
"Our show is today. We have to get all our equipment to the venue and and sound check and everything."
"Ohhh.. " I said. I had completely forgot. 
"Do you want to come? And help set up?" He asked.
"Of course. But I'm not getting all dolled up" I laughed. "Can I go like this?" I asked.
he looked me over, and I looked at myself. I was wearing one of his sweatshirts and jeans.
"Of course. You always look amazing so why should it matter?" He smiled.
I blushed.
"Maybe we should go wake up Josh?" I asked.
" yeah, let's go jump on his bed!" Tyler said as he grabbed my hand and pulled to Josh's  room.
"I love acting like little kids" he whispered with a grin.
We quietly stood around him on top of his bed.
1... 2... 3!
We started jumping at hitting Josh with the pillows.
"Goodmorning sleeping beauty!" Tyler teased.
"Wha- what the fuck- TYLER!" Josh yelled and he pulled one of Tylers legs out from onee him, causing him to fall into the bed. I stopped and went onto the floor again, hysterically laughing.
Watching them go at it with pillows was great.
After a few minutes there were both clearly exhausted, laying on the bed.
I got up and jumped across them.
"We have to get goingggg!" I laughed.
They exchanged a glance and before I know it Tyler was holding my upper body and Josh was holding my legs. They carried me all the way to tylers car where Tyler gave me a kiss.
"Stay here while we pack as much equipment as we can. Mark and out guys should be here soon with the vans." He smiled.
I tried to offer to help but he shushed we and went back inside.
I turned on the car and plugged my phone into the aux.
white noise by PVRIS started playing.
After what seemed like days but was only an hour or two, Tyler got into his car and Josh got into his. We drove off to the venue. We finally arrived around 1:30 and got to work. Since I wasn't very strong I helped with the little things.
I was walking around, and helping mark with the lighting when I saw Tyler talking to these guys. They don't normally help them out at shows, because I would have remembered them. It probably wasn't much of my business to I continued helping.

"Hey babe I'm going to get going. I have to go get ready but I'll be back before 7." I said as I have him a kiss.
"Oh and can I have your car keys" I laughed.
"Here" he handed me them and smiled.
"Be back soon okay? Drive safely, text me when you get the the apartment?" I asked.
"Of course." I said before giving him another kids and heading out.
"BYE JOSH BYE MARK" I yelled, follows by a "GOODBYE AMBER DRIVE SAFELY" from Josh.
I was driving in the car with the music loud, not wanting to hear my thoughts. The venue was about 30 minutes from home and it was already 4:30.
I got to the apartment and quickly jumped into the shower after I texted Tyler. I took a fairly fast shower and proceeded to get ready. I was looking through my closet and decided on a long sleeve maroon Croptop with high waisted black shorts and ripped tights. I took my time putting on my makeup. I didn't do anything crazy,just simple eyeliner and mascara, with nude lipstick and eyeshadow. I had just finished and walked out of the room to get my phone off the charger when I saw the time.
6:00
Fuck. I should probably get going.
I thought to myself. Realizing I haven't eaten much today, I stopped at a Taco Bell. I got my usual, along with Josh and tylers. I ate mine in the car and finished just before I arrived.
I got out of the car and walked through the venue. I stopped at Josh's dressing room to give him his. He was pretty excited but also had a weird look on his face.
"I'm going to go give this to Tyler." I said turning the corner, since his is right next door.
"Wait Amber! I wouldn't-"
I walked into tylers dressing room to find him .. With.. Some girl. Kissing the lips that are supposed to by mine. My smile slow my disappeared. He saw me and I looked away. 
"Amber I can explain.." He said as he pushed the girl off of him and started to walk twards me.
"Don't fucking touch me." My voice cracked.
I walked away.
Out of the venue.
And maybe out of his life.
-
I got to the apartment and locked myself in my room. I sat there. Then suddenly, everything came flooding down on me.
Tyler. My dad. The shit he has done. He was just like my dad. My dad treated my mother so well the first few years. Then he cheated. Of course my mom forgave him. And then he did it again. And again. His drinking problem escalated and he began to him my mom. And me.
And now Tyler. I couldn't believe this.

Everything went black.
