Him. //joshler {Completed}

Chapter 8

My dad still hasn't came back and believe it or not, I kinda miss him. It's really lonely here without having someone to yell at you, hit you, etc.

Once I got to school Tyler instantly ran up to me and gave me a hug, but something was wrong, he was crying. "Tyler, what's wrong!?" I said worried. "Josh, e- everyone f- found out I w- was g- g- gay." Tyler said letting out another sob. "There're gonna m- make f- fun of m- me." Tyler said crying more. "Hey, it's okay Tyler. It's okay. No one will make fun of you. I'll make sure if that. Don't worry, this will all pass in about a week or two." I said in a soft, reassuring voice, trying to calm him down. He calmed down after about five minutes of hugging. "C'mon, lets go to class." I said, earning stares from people. Tyler only nodded, he withdrew from the hug and went to class.

Once we got there Tyler had already calmed down. About twenty minutes in, i get a note passed to me. I read it.

Is that your boyfriend? Tyler? He's gay just so you know. I feel bad for you. Sorry you have to sit there.

I knew they were playing around cause they were laughing. "Fuck off." I said out-loud, not caring if people heard me. "What was that for?" Tyler said smiling. "Nothing." I shrugged, forcing a laugh. Tyler just looked at me then continued working.

When lunch came, I instantly regretted sitting at my new table. "Are you gay!?" Ralph said when I got there, gripping into my shirt. "Whoa, dude chill." I said trying to back away, his grip got tighter. "Where did you get that from?" I said forcing a laugh. No matter how much I wanted to cry, I couldn't, to be honest I am gay, but I can't let anyone find out. "People talk." Ralph said simply. "Oh." I said trying to avoid his question. "I know what you're fucking doing." Ralph said, slapping me. That's when I had enough.

I punched his stomach, he fell back a little, then I went for his face. As I was about to hit his face he stopped me and twisted my arm. I wince in pain. He elbowed me in the head, earning dizziness. I fall back and hit his leg so he falls too. I get on him, still dizzy, and start punching. I don't know where all this anger came from. He punched me in the chin and I fell back. He was now punching me. I stopped fighting, what's the whole point? I block my face when I saw a big punch coming.

Black.

I wake up in a small room. The nurses office. I slowly get up and an ice pack falls into my lap. I feel okay, but some spots hurt, like my head and my face. "Oh, you're awake." The nurse said. "Yeah." I said looking around. "I'm Ms. Carter." She said. "Uhm, what happened exactly?" I knew exactly what happened, I just said it to clarify. "You got into a fight with a kid named Ralph and blacked out. If you're feeling better you can leave. School is already out." My eyes got wide. School is already out!? How long was I asleep!? "How long was I asleep?" I asked sounding panicky. "For three hours." Ms. Carter said. It's not that bad, it could've been worse. "Can I leave?" I said looking at the door. "Whenever you're ready. Oh and, there's a guy named Tyler he's waiting for you in the front office." Ms. Carter said then walked away. I got up, feeling dizzy for a second then regained my balance. I put the ice pack on the bed and walked to the office.

Before I even got there I saw Tyler sitting on the floor, with my stuff, on his phone. I went and sat next to him. He looked at me then back at his phone, a second later he looks back at me and squeaks. "Omg I'm so happy you're okay." Tyler said hugging me, burying his head to the side of my shoulder. I pick Tyler up so he's sitting on me and continue hugging. It only took us a minute until I realized what I just did. "O- oh, uhm, um, s- o- I-" Tyler said looking at me, blushing deeply. S- sorry." I said blushing as well. We made eye contact until Tyler's eyes flickered to my lips. He leaned in until our lips were inches apart. He leaned in more and our lips connected. Time froze. It was just me and Tyler's soft lips against mine. I've been waiting for this my entire life. This is what I was missing. My life felt complete.

After a minute or so our lips parted. "That was.." Tyler said staring at me. "Yeah." I said letting out a breath a didn't know I was holding. Tyler and I got brought back to reality when I heard people sharing whispers. Tyler looked at them, then back at me. "Great way to ruin the moment." Tyler said laughing. I can tell that didn't affect him anymore, which made me happy. Tyler got off of me and collected his stuff, I got my stuff and he drove me home.

Before I got out of his car he stopped me. "Hey Josh." Tyler said. "Yeah?" I said letting go of the car door. "Thanks, for a great day." Tyler said looking at me. I smiled. "You're welcome." I said getting out of the car. We said our goodbyes and I went into my house. When I got in my house I had a smile I couldn't break. This was a good day.
