chapter nine

:tyler:

i sat in my room alone with my head facing down, discussing to myself everything that has gone on this week.

at least josh forgave me for being stupid enough to let blurry tell on him.

i met some of josh's weird friends.

i mean, i like josh. i like him a lot as a friend and that's all.

i want josh to like me.

i'll never get myself into another relationship again.

well jenna's coming home tomorrow, thank god.

i guess i should try to meet up with her

—

after making plans with her, i finally get to see her again.

i told her that we would meet up at the frozen yogurt shop down the street from us.

i quickly got dressed and made my way down there.

as i was walking, i saw her waiting for me outside. she ran towards me and i gave her a big hug.

"i missed you!" she called out to me.

"i missed you too, now time to catch up on some stuff."

we walked in and grabbed our cups to go to the back where they had the machines.

while making our masterpiece called frozen yogurt, we kept smiling at each other. she's like a little sister to me.

after paying for them, we sat down and began to talk.

"explain to me what happened."

"so i moved next door to some kid that's my age and im forced to see him every wednesday. we don't really get along but i made a huge mistake."

"i can't be that bad. what did you do?"

"i kinda got high with him and instead of keeping it a secret, i kinda went a told on him to his parents even though it was my fault."

i had to lie to jenna. i can't tell her that i kissed josh. that's absurd.

"tyler..why did you do that specifically?"

"i don't know what got over me. i tried to apologize to him by visiting him at work. it luckily did work out but it was awkward."

"im slightly speechless but no matter what happens with this kid, you'll always have me. im here to help you with your problems."

i stood up to hug her and as soon as that happened, the bell from the door rung.

i turned around and saw the newly pink haired boy that lives next door to me along with his two weird friends.

i practically froze and sat back down, trying my best to ignore him.

without trying to be obvious, i kept peaking to see what they were doing.

"tyler, what's wrong?"

"i'll explain later."

"wait, is that your neighbor?"

"yes, the fluffy pink haired one."

she turned around to face me while making a concerned face.

they sat down across from us and I think they recognized me.

:josh:

i came with my friends after work to get some frozen yogurt.

as soon as i walked in, i saw tyler..

..with a girl..

..hugging her.

i felt my tiny crush for him break into many pieces.

we sat down and gerard noticed that tyler was here.

"isn't that the boy we saw yesterday?"

i sighed "yes, it is."

"oh shit, he has a girlfriend."

"i can see" i rolled my eyes.

"well i guess our plan is fucking ruined now. you two would have been such a cute couple."

"i'd agree with you but i'm fucking screwed. im like your third wheel here."

"you'll find another boy unless that shit over there breaks up with her."

"we'll see how this goes over."

after we finished, they went outside and i just stayed in here for a little.

i stood up to go throw out the empty cup but the trash can was right near where tyler was.

i heard him call out "hey josh, it's nice seeing you here" as he held his hand out for a handshake.

i shook his hand "nice seeing you too."

"i guess i'll see you on wednesday."

"yeah, im glad we made up though. you're like one of my closest friends."

"haha yep. i gotta go, bye" i waved at him.

i met up with them outside and started to explain what happened in there.

"he talked to me."

"what did this little whore say?"

"it was just small talk and how im stuck seeing him on wednesday."

"you can come over my house, if you want."

"i don't know how i'm going to get passed my parents with that one. they're going say some bullshit excuse like we have company over."

"just try at least, i don't want your little fragile heart being hurt more."

i hugged him and i think tyler saw that.

this whole situation is a fucking mess.
