JOEY'S POINT OF VIEW

After I dropped Tyler off, I pulled out my phone to find 1 unread text that was from: Shane Dawson. It read: "Wanna shoot a collab today?" I texted back agreement, and almost 5 minutes later, he responded. "Great! See you there!" I sighed. Shane isn't Tyler, but Shane is technically my best friend now. So I can't be too ungrateful.

..

When I got to Shane's house, Lisa greeted me at the door. "Hey Joey!" She said, and let me in. I saw the back of Shane's head, on the couch. "Sup boy!" I said. His head turned and met me. "Hey! Haven't seen you since like...Vid-Con!" Shane said. We talked a while and vlogged. Basically catching up on life. It turns out that Shane is getting closer to getting a TV show and has a lot of new stuff coming out. "Well, I guess since we're really good friends, I should tell you stuff about my life too, because something really important happened to me." I announced out of the blue. "Mind if I pry in?" Lisa asked. "Yeah! Sure!" I allowed. Lisa sat down next to Shane. "Okay, well number one...I met someone...someone really special to me. I've liked them for a long time, but things are starting to get bigger than just friends. I don't know what's going on with my head...I think I'm in love. No wait, I AM in love with them." I blurted out. Lisa was all smiles and fangirling. "Oh my gosh! Who is the lucky gal?" She exclaimed. Shane smirked. "Oh Lisa please. Can't you tell? He said they or them over and over again! Obviously Joey is having a threesome!" Shane joked. I laughed. "No, and no. It's not a girl and definitely not a threesome. It's a guy. His name is Tyler." I smiled to myself. Saying that, Tyler was mine, felt good. Even though we haven't confirmed

it yet, it's pretty obvious.

Lisa and Shane gasped. "Tyler Oakley?" Lisa said. "Yep. That's him." "Oh my gosh I would have never imagined!" Shane said surprisingly. "I didn't either. It happened one day." I shrugged. Shane's eyebrow went up. "WHAT happened one day?" Shane smirked. I rolled my eyes. "We kissed, and things picked up from there. Even though we haven't really confirmed boyfriends yet, we just know we love each other." "Reminds me of Skinny Love." Lisa laughed. "What?" Shane and I said in unison. "It means quiet lovers. When two people love each other, but they won't admit it. They just show it in actions." Lisa informed. "That's funny, because I..." I trailed off. They both leaned it closer. "You what?" They said. "I can't. I want to keep some parts private, thank you very much." I argued. "What's so bad about Bon Iver? You can't do anything dirty with that!" Shane said. I looked down at my feet, and smiled.

Flashbacks of that night came back. "I uh, sang that song to him one night." I said sheepishly. They both awe'd at me. I groaned. My phone rang. It was Tyler. I gasped, and smiled. "Yay!" I exclaimed, and answered. "Tyler!" I cheered. "Speaker!" Shane mouthed. I turned on the speaker button. "I'm at Shane's house." Shane yelled from the background, "Hey Tyler!"

"Hi Shane. Hey Joey" Tyler's voice sounded muffled in pain. Has he been crying? "What's wrong?" I asked, and took the phone into the different room. "Joey...it's my mom. She got hit by a car." Tyler cried. My face dropped. "Tyler...I-"

"Joey you don't have to do anything, but I can't do this without you." Tyler said. "Tyler, your mom lives in Michigan. How am I going to tell my fans?" I asked. "We can talk about that later. Please, all I want is you right now." Tyler pleaded. "I'm coming." I said and hung up. I quickly left. "Sorry guys. Another day, Shane. It's Tyler's mom." I explained to Shane and Lisa.

They understood, and I probably broke the speed limit, driving to Tyler's house. As soon as I got there, I didn't bother knocking. I walked in, and into his bedroom. Tyler was crying on his bed, and I immediately came to his comfort. I feel so bad for him right now. He is anorexic and has an unwell mother at the same time. I wrapped my arms around him, and he buried himself in my chest. "How bad?" I asked. "Broken spine and coma. Also eternal skull damage." Tyler mumbled. He wasn't crying anymore, but I could tell he was in pain. "We have to go." I said. "You don't have to." Tyler said. I shook my head. "I'm not going to leave you alone like that." I told him firmly. "What if she doesn't wake up? What if she stops breathing? What if she forgets who I am?" I put my hand over his mouth. "Tyler stop. Don't say anything else. None of that is going to happen. You are the strongest person I have ever met. And if your mother made you, then she is too." Tyler looked at me. "Joey, will you stay with me? No matter what happens when we go to Michigan?" He asked. "Yes of course." I would've done that anyway.
