Taxi Cab (Sequel to Trees.:The Beginning:.)

Chapter 1

{Tyler}

I was a boy who didn't believe anyone could love me. It was a wrong thought my mother always told me. I never believed her because she didn't know the half of what I felt.

It was two and a half years since I met Josh. We've been a little two-guy band when band members left us and we had decided to become a great band. I was proud of us, I thought we weren't going to make it but Josh just said I needed to keep my head held high. I always listened to what Josh said because he was wise and he helped me out when things got tough. Josh was my best friend. Even though we both know we haven't known each other for a long enough time, we both knew we were destined to meet each other and become friends right off the bat. There were things I never told him though. It might change his mind about me. I didn't want ton loose a friend. Especially a friend like Josh, I didn't know if he would accept me for me. I didn't want to take the chance. I couldn't and I wouldn't. He needs to know.

"I'm so proud of us." Josh says as were getting his things from the trunk of a yellow taxi.

"What do you mean?" I ask already knowing the answer.

"I mean we've made it. Finally after all these time of rejection and getting kicked out of places and that time we went to that collage and those kids were so drunk they kept trying to pee on our stuff." He laughed as I smiled and nodded at him.

"Well, we did make it. And I wouldn't have done it without you." I replied as I hugged him for about twenty seconds. The taxi driver beeped trying to rush us.

"I guess this is good-bye for now." He said followed by a sigh showing he was actually sad.

"We'll get to see each other soon." I said as I shut the trunk. "Tell your mom I said 'hi,' just to let her know I'm thinking about her well being. Also let her know I'll take good care of your home" I say as I head towards the back doors of the taxi. I get in the taxi and I look back and see he hasn't go into the airport yet but I have to head home while Josh goes on his small vacation. I knocked on the window that separated me from the taxi driver to signal for him to go. He nodded and we drove off. I saw Josh still standing as he got smaller and smaller, father and father away from me I saw him wave and then go inside.

I thought of our self-titled album for some reason. I didn't know what it was but I wanted Josh to sit right next to me. He was cute and had a smile that made my stomach feel as if butterflies were living and dancing in it. I couldn't ruin our friendship over my feelings I couldn't quite understand. I didn't see myself liking guys.

I sat and waited until the taxi came to the curb in front of my house. The Asian guy stopped and sat there with me. He then cleared out his throat and smiled at me. He pointed at the price rising on the meter. I looked at it and shrugged. I didn't want to go inside just yet. My mom was home. My dad was home. My siblings were home. It was the holidays and I was going to be with my family without Josh. I was going to be here from Thanksgiving until Christmas. I don't think I'll survive without him here, but I'll have to for a long time. I wanted to have Josh here with me. The words spun and spun in my head.

I thought I loved him but we're just friends.
