Trees

Run

~Tyler~
"Tyler get your lazy ass out of bed and do your chores" my mom yelled while walking down the hall. I hate these kind of days. I'm usually yelled at for no reason. I walked down the hall and into the kitchen. I sat down and drank a cup of coffee before getting up. I was headed for the living room when I accidentally ran into my mom, knocking all the cleaning supplies out of her hands. "Come on Tyler. Use your god damn brain for once. Can't you be useful for once? Do something other than fuck the boy next door and mope around!" She yelled and I almost cried. "Tyler." She started in an apologetic tone. "Don't talk to me" I said through clenched teeth.

I ran up to my room and put sweat pants, a t-shirt and a light hoodie on. I put on my running shoes and decided to leave my phone here. I ran downstairs and out the front door. I just kept running and I ran into the forest where I usually go.

I stopped out of breath and looked at get sky pissed "is there anybody out there!" I screamed before falling to the cold ground in anger and defeat. "I'm here" I heard them saw Josh. I immediately got up and hugged him. I began to cry into his shoulder.

"Tybaby, what's wrong?" He asked softly "m-my mom c-called me useless an-and told me to do something oth-other than f-fuck you and m-mope around" I sniffled and he held me tighter. "I'm sorry" he whispered so I looked at him. I leaned forward and kissed him. The feeling of his lips against mine made everything go away. Just being with Josh makes all my demons disappear.

He pulled away and looked at me. "Do you want to go home?" He asked softly so I shook my head. "I don't want to go back to that hell hole" I mumbled so he nodded. We sat down on the cold ground and stared at the usually flowing stream. By this time of year everything is iced over. Thanksgiving is in two days and I have nothing to be thankful for. Well except for Josh.

"Josh are you going out of town for thanksgiving?" I asked and he shook his head. "No, last I heard is that our mom's are gonna get together and cook a nice dinner for our two families" he replied so I smiled. "That's great. I'm glad the one person I'm thankful for will be there" I smiled before kissing him.

We sat there for a long time before we both got cold. "I'll race you home" I smiled when we stood up. "You're gonna lose" he smirked then I took off.

I stopped on the sidewalk between our houses and waiting for Josh to catch up. He stood next to me out of breath. "I win" I smiled so he looked at me. "I think I won" he told me and I laughed "how do you figure that?" I asked "because I know that you're still gonna kiss me and tell me you love me" he smiled so I walked over to him. "Am I really that predictable?" I smiled before kissing him. "I love you Tyler" he told me "I love you too Joshua" I replied with a smile then looked at my house. "I should probably go inside and shower" I sighed so he nodded. "See you in a bit" he smiled before we both walked into our houses.

I walked inside and my mom was pacing back and forth. "Oh my god you're ok" she smiled walking over to me but I walked away before she could get to me. "Tyler Joseph don't treat your mother like that. She's been worried sick about you" dad said so I turned around. "What so it's ok for her to insult me and make me want to loll myself even more than I already want to but it's not ok for me to just walk away?" I asked harshly and he didn't say anything "exactly now just leave me alone" I told them before going up to my room.

I was laying on my bed texting Josh when my mom poked her head in the door. "Can I come in?" She asked "it depends. are you gonna insult me again?" I asked in a cocky tone. "No, but I'm really sorry about that" she said sympathetically while walking in. "Yeah well it really hurt" I told her not bothering to look up. "Tyler, I'm sorry. I didn't mean any of it. I was trying to get stuff done before grandma and grandpa got here and the cable company pissed me off. You didn't deserve to be yelled at" she explained so I looked at her. I didn't say anything for a moment then looked over at my desk. "I forgive you. I'm sorry for flipping out" I told her. "You don't have to be sorry for flipping out. You probably have a lot going on in that beautiful creative mind" she smiled so I hugged her. "How about I make it up to you?" She offered so I smiled "how?" I asked her. "You can tell Josh to come over and y'all can hang out up here while we clean up downstairs. Just no sex. Your grandparents are coming in two hours" she told me so I nodded before quickly texting Josh. "Thanks mom" I smiled then hugged her.

She left the room then Josh walked in. It's gotten to the point where Josh and I just walk into each other's houses when we are invited over.

I smiled at Josh and he sat next to me. "You and your mom make up?" He asked so I nodded. "That's good because our moms love us to death" he smiled before kissing me. "I love you to death" I smiled in between our short sweet kisses. "I love you to death also" he replied before kissing me again. He looked over at my desk and at my notebook. He walked over and opened it.

He looked through the songs and stopped at one. "Tybaby, sing for me" he told me so I sighed. I looked at the song and took a deep breath before I started singing. It's song I wrote a few months ago called Kitchen Sink. It's an interesting song.

I finished and Josh looked at me amazed. "Damn you can rap" he smiled so I looked down blushing. "You're adorable you know" he told me so I looked at him. He had a cute smirk on his face and I couldn't help but to kiss him. "So what is a kitchen sink to you?" He asked causing me to smirk. "It's something that only I understand and for others to interpret in their own ways" I explained so he nodded. "I love you and you have an amazing voice" he told me causing me to smile. "I love you too" I replied before kissing him again. He's so amazing and it's hard to resist kissing him.
