Trees

A band

~Tyler~
I woke up and looked at Josh who was staring at me. I just cuddled into his chest and took a deep breath before closing my eyes again. I heard the door open. Josh looked to see who it was then my mom sat on the edge of the bed. I looked at her waiting for her to say something. "Boys. Do you want to go to school today?" She asked and I shook my head "no. I never want to go back to that hell hole" I told her so she frowned. "Tyler it's your senior year, you will only be there for six months" she told me "yeah six months of being made fun of for being gay" I told her so she nodded "fine. You can stay home today but tomorrow you are going to school. You have to stand up to these people" she told me so I nodded.

I looked at Josh and he played with my fingers. "Josh. How are we going to survive this?" I asked "I don't know. I know for sure that we won't survive with out each other" he replied then kissed me. "Tybaby, how's your cuts?" He asked so I looked at my bandage wrapped arm. "They hurt but I guess I'll get over it" I sighed then he kissed my forehead. "I love you" I told him so he smiled "I love you too" I replied then sat up. I looked over at my desk and smiled "Josh, let's start a band" I smiled so he nodded. He doesn't know this but I actually know how to play ukulele and piano.

I went into my closet and grabbed my ukulele and keyboard. "You can play ukulele?" Josh asked so I nodded. "Wow. Ok what song do you want to record or practice first?" He asked so I opened my notebook. I turned to a random page and saw it was Trees.

I plugged in my piano and started playing. I sang the words to Josh and he smiled at me.

I finished singing and he smiled. "That's perfect. I can add drums to it" he told me so I nodded. "Let's do it" I told him then we went to his house and he sat down at his drum set.

We spent time working on that song and a few others. This'll be perfect. I'd love to be in a band with  my soon to be husband.

We worked for hours on music until we had enough songs to make an album. "Boys take a break and come eat" Laura said so we set everything down and went to the dining room.

I looked around the table and Jordan was quieter than usual. "Hey, Jordan what's up?" I asked so he looked up. "Uh, I'm just tired" he  said quickly. I know he's lying. He got my sister pregnant and hasn't figured out a way to tell his family. He's five years younger than Josh and I. Maddison is the same age. Thanks to him my sister is going to have a child in the eighth grade.

"Josh, I need you to stay at Tyler's house for the next three days. Your grandparents are coming over so since you have another place to sleep. They get your room" Laura said so I smiled. "You don't mind do you?" Josh asked me and I smiled at him. "Of course you can stay at my house. We practically live in each other's houses so you're always welcome" I told him so he nodded. "They get in late tonight so that includes tonight" Laura told him so he nodded.

After dinner Josh and I helped clean up before going over to my house. I walked inside and saw Maddison. You can start to tell that she's pregnant. "Damn, you got knocked up badly" I told her causing her to glare at me. "Maddison!" Mom yelled from the other room. She knows now. "Tyler we should go upstairs" Josh said so I shook my head. "I wanna see how this plays out" I smirked so he shrugged.

"Maddison why the hell is there a positive pregnancy test in the bathroom?" Mom asked pissed then Maddison looked down. "M-mom. I'm pregnant" she stuttered and mom looked pissed. "This has got to be some sick joke" mom told her and I had to hold back laughter. Maddison lifted up her short and turned sideways. "Oh my god! Maddison you're only in middle school! Who's the dad?" She asked and Josh looked at me. "Now Jordan is gonna get in trouble" Josh whispered "go upstairs you two!" Mom yelled at us so we both scrambled up the stairs to my room.

We sat on my bed laughing our asses off. "Hey shut the hell up. I'm trying to study" Zack said when he opened the door "fuck off Zack! At least I'm able to be in a relationship!" I told him and he looked pissed. He just flipped me off before walking away.

I looked at Josh and he smiled at me. "I love you so much" he told me before hugging me causing me to fall backwards on the bed. "I love you too" I replied and kissed him. "You know what?" He smiled while looking in his eyes "what?" I asked curious to what he was going to say. "You are the most beautiful, most perfect, most talented, best person in the world and I love you more than anything or anyone. I'm so glad I get to marry you" he smiled so I kissed him again.

"Josh?" I sighed so he looked at me "what's up?" He asked while playing with my fingers. "I want to make it. I want to become big and share with the world what I create. I want people to know they're not alone in their struggles" I told him so he nodded "well. We have songs. Let's perform them. Let's become big and show people that they aren't alone" he replied so I smiled. "I love you" I told him so he nodded "I love you too. Now let's get some sleep" he replied before kissing me good night.

You'll never make it Tyler. Josh won't marry you. You're gonna fail. Don't do it. Nobody wants to listen to you.
