Josh's POV

I woke up on the sofa in the bus, with Payton by my side. I got up, and checked the time on my phone. It was 12:06 pm, so I decided to get up and get ready.

I threw on a Navy blue t-shirt, black skinnys, my grey Nikes, and a black snap back on backwards. I sat back down on the couch, and scrolled through my phone. I heard Tyler mumbling, so I walked over to his bunk. Jaycee was in the bunk under him scrolling away on her phone.

I looked back up at Tyler, and he was sleeping. But, his cheeks were stained with tears, and his face was red. He kept swinging his arms and he kept kicking his legs.

I tapped his shoulder "Ty," 

He didnt hear me, so I shook him a little bit.

He was breathing rapidly, and he was sweating real bad. I was scared, and I started panicking.

"Tyler!" I yelled.

His eyes shot wide open, and he sat up. He started to cry into his knees, and he looked absolutely heartbroken.  Was there something going on between him and Jaycee? I was so confused by their relationship. They weren't dating, but they were? I'm confused with it.

"Tyler, did you have another nightmare? Are you okay?" I helped him out of his bunk, and I gave him a hug, and he hugged back in return.

"Just another stupid nightmare." His voice cracked.

I looked pulled away from the hug, and looked at him. His eyes were glossy, and he was shaking in fear.

"I'm so sorry buddy, are you okay?"

He just shrugged and messed with the hem of his shirt.

"Do you want to talk about it? I understand if you don't. I just want you to be okay." I said.

Tyler nodded and we walked toward the couch. Tyler curled up in a ball and started to speak.

"I-it was just me being alone again. You, and everyone else left. You guys said I wasn't worth it and I should just k-kill myself. And maybe y-you guys were right." He shook his head and hid his face in his hands.

I looked at the floor and pursed my lips together. Tyler should know that we aren't leaving him anytime soon, in fact we won't ever leave him. He was my best friend, and I would do anything to make him better. I'd take my life for him; I'd do anything for him. I'm nothing without him.

"Tyler, you need to know that all of us are here for you. Through thick and thin, we will help you. You're my best friend, and I'm going to help you get through this. I'm nothings without you, and I'm not letting you leave me or any of us any time soon." My eyes started to water, and my voice started to shake.

I looked over to Tyler, and noticed he was shaking, and he looked very pale. We were lucky to have a break today, because I don't think he would've made it.

I hugged him again and he hugged back. I was assuming jaycee was awake before me, why didn't she help him? She had to of definitely heard him, because he was pretty loud and her bunk was right under his. I let go of him, and grabbed my phone
