//Chapter Eighteen: Tragic in the Fall Out//

Rylie's POV:

The next few days were horrible. No, scratch that, it was hell. Not having Josh to hold or talk to was driving me insane. I know Tyler was right though, I was bad for Josh. After I left Jenna and Tyler's, I drove back to the apartment and packed all of my stuff. I left a note, and mentally said goodbye to Josh. The days following that had been spent finding a hotel room, and grieving. I hadn't realized how much I need Josh until I ended it. He was my lifeline, but I was slowly draining him.

Today I decided to look for a job. I took some of the little money I had left, and got my hair styled. I cut it to my shoulders, and dyed it brown. I was walking passed a record shop that had a Help Wanted sign. I decided to go in, and fill out an application. A bell chimed as I opened the door.

"Hello welcome to Epic Vinyl, how can I help you?" A woman asked.

"Uhh I saw your sign and was wondering if I could fill out an application" I said.

"Sure! I need some help around here, just fill this out, and leave your phone number" she said.

"Thank you, I'm Rylie by the way" I said.

"Maggie, nice to meet you" she said smiling. I filled out the form as best as I could, and gave it back to her. I bought a copy of Too Weird to Live, too Rare to Die, and headed back to the hotel. I was starving, but I'm running low on cash so I better save it. I could lose the weight anyway. I heard my phone vibrate, and hoped it was Josh. Nope. Unknown caller. I accepted the call.

"Hello Rylie?" A voice said.

"This is she" I replied.

"Oh hey! It's Maggie from the record shop, you got the job!" She replied.

"Thank you so much, when can I start?" I asked.

"How about tomorrow?"

"Okay, see ya tomorrow" I said. The other line went dead, and I collapsed onto my bed, in deep sleep.

Tyler's POV:

The last few weeks have been a little less than pleasant for anybody. Josh is depressed, Jenna is pissed, and I'm completely stressed. Our tour starts soon, and Josh refuses to talk to me. Jenna was pretty pissed when she found out too. Josh has been keeping himself locked up in his apartment for weeks now, and won't even answer the door. I know I fucked up bad this time. Jenna had been trying to keep in touch with Rylie, but eventually Rylie stopped replying. I haven't talked to Josh in awhile, and decided to pay him a visit. I grabbed my keys and phone, and headed towards the store.

Once inside, I grabbed four red bulls, a bag of chips, and pizzas. I passed the hair care isle, and figured fuck it, I'll buy some hair dye for Josh too. I grabbed vibrant green, and headed for checkout.

skipping another car ride cuz eh fuck it

I pulled up to Josh's house, grabbed the bags, and knocked on the door. Josh opened the door, and to be honest, he looked like shit. He hadn't shaved in days, and looked extremely tired.

"What do you want?" He asked bitterly. I held up the bags.

"Figured you could use some cheering up" I said. He just walked away from the door, leaving it open. I walked into his kitchen and laid out what I had bought.

"Hey Josh, when's the last time you showered bud?" I asked. He shrugged.

"Okay....... How about this, you shower, and maybe shave those pubes off of your face, dye your hair and drink red bull" I offered. He shrugged, and walked towards his bathroom. This may not be as hard as I thought.

Twenty minutes later, I had our snacks in bowls, Fight Club ready to play, and our red bulls in the fridge. Josh came down the stairs with bright green hair, and was in sweats. He dyed his own hair? Impressive. He plopped down on the couch, and I threw a red bull at him.

"Sweet hair dude" I said. He simply nodded, and pressed play. We sat in silence for half of the movie before he broke down in tears. Well shit, maybe this will be harder than I thought.

"Ty I miss her so bad. I pains me not to have her next to me"  he said.

"I know bud" I said. What else is there to say? I'm the one who broke them up.

"Has she talked to Jenna lately? Wait! Maybe I can win her back!" He said. I sighed.

"Josh, Jenna hasn't heard from her in a long time. I think it's best that you moved on" I said. He sank back down into the couch. Well shit.
