Some time had passed and the girl that Tyler wanted to help had stopped and they became friends. Her name was Debby. And they had gotten really close. Tyler, Josh and Debby. In fact Josh and Debby had gotten really close and Tyler was sure they were dating.

"Tyler?" Josh said and opened the door. "Yeah?" Tyler said and closed his notebook. "Uhm." Josh said and fiddled with his fingers. "Me and Debby are da-" Josh stared. "I know." Tyler said and bit the insides of his cheeks. "You do? H-how?" Josh said confused. Tyler smiled and jumped twords him. "You guys are such love birds! Its impossible to not see it!" He said and laughed. "Oh." Josh said and blushed. Tyler hit him on his back. "Now go and ask her out for dinner." He said and smiled. "Don't you want to come?" Josh asked. "No, you guys need some alone time." Tyler winked at Josh. "Okay." He said and walked out.

Tyler walked to his bed and curled up. He squeezed his pillow. He didn't want to be jelous. It was just the person he was. He was the jealous type. He wasn't jealous because Josh got a gorgeous girl. He was jealous because a gorgeous girl got Josh. And Josh liked her. Loved her. Now that he has a girlfriend he doesn't got time for Tyler. Tyler was now alone. Mr. Fluffle jumped on the bed and Tyler lifted him up to his chest and cried. This was the only thing left. This was the only thing he had left.

Tyler's phone buzzed and lit up. Maddy. He picked up and wiped away his tears. "Hello Tyler!" She said exited. "Hey." He said back. "Ques what?" She said exited. "What?" He said. He sounded annoyed. He didn't mean to, but this really wasn't the time. "Jeeze, what happened to you?" She said a little annoyed. "I-I just..." he started. "You just what?" She said. "I miss you Maddy." He said and wiped another tear. "And there is so much happening... and I didn't call you when I should've... I'm so sorry." He said and cried. "Lets skype, okay?" She said. Tyler was happy to have a sister like her. "Yeah." He whispred.

They talked all night. About Pete coming to his college. About Josh being his best friend. And about Debby. That she took Josh away from him. And that he was all alone now.

"Tyler, Josh is your friend. And I'm sure he's not going to abandon his best friend." She said with a low voice. Tyler allmost fell asleep and they webcammed so Maddison saw that. "Tyler?" She said and laughed quietly. "Hm?" He said and opened his eyes slowly. "It's six o'clock in the morning, do you want to sleep?" She said. She was really tierd but she wanted to help her brother. "Yeah." He said and smiled. "Okay, just call me when you want to. I'm allways here if you need me Tyler." She said and ended the call. Tyler fell asleep only minutes later.

The next day Tyler woke up. But it felt weird. He woke up by himself. Josh didn't wake him. He looked over at the clock, it was 11.36am. "Shit!" He ran to the bathroom and fixed his hair. Then he ran to the list and checked what room he were going to be in. He facepalmed and laid down in bed. It was saturday. He felt so dumb. He closed his eyes. He felt a migrane start to build up because of all of the stress he just caused himself.

He walked to the bathroom and opened the pill box. It was empty. "Ugh!" He yelled. He had a fealing that this day wasn't going to be the best. There were three quiet knocks on the door. Tyler opened the door. It was mark. "Hey. uhm, I've seen that you and Josh are together alot and just wanted to say that he didn't come back yesterday." Mark said. Tyler was still jelous because he went out with Debby. "Okay, thanks." Tyler said and closed the door. He laid down in his bed and put his headphones in. He put his playlist on shuffle and a slow beat started.

Tyler sang along.

"That little kiss you stole
it held my heart and soul
And like a deer in the headlights
I met my fate"

A tear rolled down his face.

"Don't try to fight the storm
You'll tumble overboard
Tides will bring me back to you"

Tyler walked down to get some redbull. He wasn't hungry, he was just tierd. He walked to the vending machine and pushed the buttons. The redbull container got stuck between the spinning thing and the glass. This really wasn't his day. Tyler walked to the store and bought a new one. On his way home he saw Josh. He looked drunk. But Josh didn't drink. Josh hated drunk people. "Josh?" Tyler said and put a hand on his shoulder. "Go away." He said. Josh smelled like beer and cigarettes. "Josh?" He said a little louder. "It's me, Tyler." Tyler bent down to look at him. His eyes were baggy and he really didn't look good. "Yeah, I know who you are!" Josh yelled. "Now go away!" Josh said and pushed Tyler. Tyler was shocked at Josh's behaviour. "Okay" Tyler whispred and got up. He walked back to the college.This wasn't like Josh at all. Josh used to be happy, kind and handsome. Now he was just a mess. Tyler started to cry. He walked a little faster. The wind was cold against his cheeks. His tears was warm. some people at champus asked him why he cried, but he just ran up to his room.

Tyler walked to the window and loked at the forest. He found a box and put a blanket in it. He lifted up Mr.Fluff and put him in the box. Then he took a bag and put three cans of redbull, a sweather, a bag of chips and his notebook in it. Tyler walked down stairs. "Hey Ty." Mark said. "Whe-Where are you going?" Mark said when he saw the bag and the kitten. Tyler lifted his shoulders and walked. "Hey!" Mark yelled after him. Tyler turned around and looked at him. "Be safe, okay." He said and looked down. Tyler just walked.
