The forest fic aftermath

Don't be afraid

I sat in the car silent, Tyler's mom didn't try to say anything to me I just needed to think. I new I was real I just felt like no one believed I was. I sat staring onto the passing trees and houses they passed in an instant. They were there and then they weren't, just like Tyler. I missed him I wanted to hug him and stare into his deep chocolate eyes i wanted to feel his warm body fit like a puzzle peace in mind when we hugged, and did other things.

As we arrived at the house I felt shivers run down my spine, I've never been anywhere else in this house just Tyler's room.

"So why did we never see you?" Mrs.joseph questioned as we sat at the table. Our eyes were both stained red from the burning tears that ran down our faces from earlier.

"I well...I don't know." She looked at me she furrowed her brows as I decided to go on.

"I just remember talking, I don't know why I never came out." She settled her brows as I responded, I sighed and felt my chest shake.

"Well..How are you feeling?" She asked me how i was feeling, i know exactly how I feel.

T-E-R-R-I-F-I-E-D

"Everything's a little more blue-black now." She looked at me again but this time dismissed it and smiled, I smiled back.

Tyler's pov
He's here,how? They see him now, but not me. I followed after the car back to my home,josh has only ever been inside my room. I traced their steps as they walked in. They sat down and talked about our relationship things like that, pointless now. I didn't case much for the conversation I was just watching josh. His C major lips are real, his tiger growl teeth are real, his mocha eyes are real.but I'm not. I'm going to my room.

Josh's pov
Her smile reminded me of this time when I saw her,her smile is like a, yellow-blue-red i think... Tyler would know. I was taken from my thoughts when I heard her kind words.

"Josh, It's kinda late now would you like to stay the night in Tyler's room?" Tyler's room, tyler. It all made me feel real. If that made sense. She escorted me into Tyler's room, it still smells like him it was a fresh smell, he smelled like... the rain, fresh and clean and happy but with a hint of sadness and trouble.

She left me in their alone, I fell into his bed and cried it felt like images falls was coming out of my eyes. I sat with my head in my hands when I felt a soft touch on my shoulder.

"Josh?" I looked behind me and saw Tyler?

"Tyler? Are y-you real?" His head went down as I went to pick his chin up, it was freezing cold but I don't care he felt amazing, I was with him.

"N-no I'm not, I just noticed we can never really be together right? I mean as I leave you come and before it was the other way around." His words stung they were more...blue-black everything is blue-black.

"I miss you.and your deep chocolate eyes and crooked smile and I miss how our body's fit together when we hugged and..." I couldn't finish he had taken his lips and placed them on mine, they moved in sync and gen we stopped he whispered into my ear

"Don't be afraid." I was afraid I wanted to be strong but I'm not...

"No Tyler I'm not afraid I'm T-E-R-R-I-F-I-E-D!" I'm terrified I wanted Tyler to be here, I wanted him to be real! I just want him to be real that's all I want!

"I know." He doesn't know, he never will! His face turned to fear as he realized what he said.

"No-no! Tyler you don't understand ok? I lost my best friend and boyfriend and on top of that I have my other family issues protecting my siblings and trying...trying to protect myself." I shrugged as i got it out I just wanted to live a happy life It's just so purple-green and pink like that doctor. Tyler lo led me in the eyes again.

"Rest. i-i think i can come back... I'll miss your mocha eyes and your C major lips that cover your tiger growl teeth while I'm gone." His words made me hurt more I just wanted it to be real Tyler and me both of us real. I smiled and pulled him into my hug it was tight and warm. Than in one blink he was gone.
