He slams the door open letting it hit the wall and leaving a small hole.

"Tyler?"

"What!"  Tyler shouts realizing that he just shouted at josh

"Are you okay?"

"Oh.. Josh, I'm sorry, its just"

"Its just what?"

"I just overreacted, that's all"

"What's the problem?"

"Its nothing, forget about it, its not important."

"I feel like it is, I mean... You kinda left a hole in the wall."

"Really?" Tyler says with a discomforting shook

Josh closes the door for them both to see a hole in the wall, where tyler slammed the door open and left the hole

"Ah shit, I'm going to have to fix that before my next meeting," tyler picks up his phone and turns it on, "its 5:32, my next meeting is at 7:00 sharp."

"I think I can get that, I'll go call the repair guys, I want you to take a break and calm down, I got this."

"No josh, I was the one to make the hole, I should-"

Josh cuts tyler off, "no, take a break, I got it.. okay?"

Tyler sighs, "okay"

Tyler takes a seat in his office chair pulled up next to his desk and rubs his hand through his hair

                         
                              *   *   *

"Alright, I understand"

Tyler nods

"Okay, see you another time"

Tyler stands up, "alright, see ya, have a great day and take care mark."

Mark walks out his office door and passes josh as he stops at Tyler's office and looks in his office

"Well, I see you got your office door open wide."

Tyler looks up to see josh, "oh, josh"

"Hi"

"Yeah, I usually don't, I'm just.. I'm just really tired, so I guess, I didn't really notice it was wide open."

"Oh, can I come in?"

"Oh yeah, I'm sorry, come on in"

Tyler sits up in his chair with a slight pull. Josh walks in, "do you want me to get anything? Like, I can get coffee, tea, I mean, just tell me what you want and I'll get it for you."

"I.. Nothing"

Tyler looks down

"Tyler..?"

Josh walks up to tyler getting very close to tyler, making tyler get a little uncomfortable

"Um.. Josh? What're you doing?"

Josh backs up a little, "oh tyler.. I. U.. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get so close."

"No.. Its fine, don't worry about it josh"

"I..." Tyler cuts him off, "no, seriously, it's fine."

"But I got into your personal space, and you were uncomfortable"

Josh gets up and walks pit Tyler's office and down the hall

"Josh.. Wait" but tyler realizes josh is already out the door

Josh walks out the door and into his car and dives off

"Josh.." Tyler stops, because he know that josh already left

But why? Why did josh leave? All he did was get close to me, I don't understand, why would that....

Tyler sighs and give up
