He looks so peaceful asleep. I then walk out of the spare bedroom and go up to my room. As my head hits my pillowcase and I begin to pull the covers over myself to fall asleep myself, I then hear a noise coming from the spare room. I ignore it and fall asleep. About fifteen minutes later I am awoken by a bright light shining into my room and see Josh glowing. But how? I am confused and so before I walk out of my room I grab my sunglasses and put them on as I really don't want to go blind.

I then see Josh's flame red hair dancing about his head as if it were being pushed and pulled back and forth by the wind. It looked really nice. So I walked up to him and as I went to touch his hair (as I was amazed by it), I quickly pulled my hand away from it as if it had just burnt me. I look at Josh as to say 'What the frick?!' But all he does is smile at me and say "Tyler, I am glad you are awake. I've been trying to tell you that aliens are real and that aliens do exist. I just really wanted you to believe me so that I can show you who I really am." I look at Josh in disbelief and ask "Who you really are? Josh what's going on?! Why are you glowing? Why is your hair untouchable?" Josh smiles at me and says "Oh Tyler. You really are precious. Take a look into my eyes." I look into his eyes and notice that they are glowing. Oh dear! NO! THIS CANNOT BE! HE CAN'T BE! I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT MY BEST FRIEND THAT I'VE KNOWN FOR ALL MY LIFE ISN'T ACTUALLY REAL! And so I scream out "SO YOU'RE TELLING ME ALL THIS TIME THAT YOU'RE NOT ACTUALLY REAL! AND THAT ALL THIS TIME I'VE BEEN IMAGINING THINGS! AND THAT I'M ACTUALLY BEST FRIENDS WITH NO-ONE?!" I then begin breathing heavy and freaking out almost like a panic. But then Josh puts his arms around me and says "No silly. I am real. It's just that I am part alien and you don't believe that aliens exist and so that part of me doesn't exist because I've chosen to forget about my alien origins." I then begin to cry and I try to get away from Josh because I don't know if I can believe him or not. I know he thinks aliens are cool but I'm not one for aliens. "I need to go." I say before getting my stuff and leaving my home. I don't tell him where I'm going but that's okay because I am going to visit my new friend Jenna. It's been a long time since we've seen each other and I need some space (no pun intended) away from Josh, because I'm just so shocked as to what has happened right now.

I just need to be with someone else in this point in time. Someone who isn't Josh.

I hear a knock at the door and I go open it and to my surprise, it is Tyler. "Hey, Tyler right?" I say as I let him inside before shutting the door. "Yeah." I hear him say in a sad tone. "So uh what's got you in a bit of a mood boy?" He looks over at me and says "Well to be honest Jenna, I'm not sure what to do about my best friend Josh. I mean, I just found out something that really shocks me and I'm not sure how to handle it." I look at him and then walk over to the lounge where I sit and wait for Tyler to join me. "No it's fine. I'll stand over here." He says before continuing what he was saying. "So I just found out that Josh might not be who he says he is." I look at him with a confused look. "What do you mean Tyler?" I ask as I am curious to know what he means by this statement. "Well, Jenna, I mean you might think I'm crazy for saying this, but Josh told me he wasn't human but alien. He told me he was a frickin alien. And I saw him glowing and I went and touched his hair and it burnt me and it shouldn't do that and I'm scared. I don't know who my best friend is anymore." I then looked away and thought to myself 'Tyler might have had a nightmare.' But then I said "Do you have proof of this happening? Not meaning to sound like I am coming across as a terrible person but if you have any sort of proof of this happening then I might believe you." Tyler looks at me and says "Well I have this recording I made with my phone..." I look at him as he puts his hand into his pocket and grabs out his phone and walks over to me to show me the video he recorded. "Well... I don't know, you shouldn't be quick to make assumptions about your friends Tyler. I mean, it could be very good special effects. I mean what if Josh is telling you all this because he was making a movie?" I say because from the video footage it seems like the only logical explanation as to why the weird things would be happening. "Hmm... yeah... I guess so... But why would Josh tell me he is an alien and then his hair is just like... Untouchable and also his eyes are glowing?" I sigh and put my hand on Tyler's shoulder and say "Maybe he is wearing coloured contact lenses that are change colour when bright lights hit them. And maybe his hair is static because he's been using a balloon against his hair to give it a spark." I say with all possible explanations. Tyler sighs and says "Yeah. You're right. Thanks Jenna." He then walks out the door without saying goodbye and I go back to whatever I was going to do before he came over.

Woohoo! I just love flying in the air when my best friend isn't around to see it! Well actually I tried telling him who I really was but I think I scared him. But then how am I flying? I mean, honestly. I don't understand it. Uh oh I think he's back. Time to get my feet back on the ground. "Hehehey Tyler. Welcome home." I say with a smile. "Josh. We need to talk." Tyler says to me seriously. I then look at him and say "Alrighty then. We'll talk." He then walks over to the kitchen and I follow him. "Listen Josh, I was just over at Jenna's place because I needed to talk to her about you and how I thought you were an actual alien, but she just explained to me that everything you did was actually special effects. So sorry to burst your bubble Josh but next time you try to pull a stunt like that, you are out of the band for reals this time and not like all the other times before when I've said it as a joke. I mean it this time. And that is sad because you're the best drummer I know and you would be sad to leave and I don't know what you'd do if you weren't in the band. But yeah. Think of this as your final warning Josh." I sigh as I see that Tyler didn't believe me when I told him what I actually was a couple hours ago and I sigh again as I know that I literally had no plan b. I look sadly at Tyler and said "Yes Tyler. Understood. No more saying that I am an alien just because I believe they exist." Tyler then smiles and says "That's the spirit. Now wanna go get some ice-cream?" I shake my head and I say no. But then I heard what Tyler said. He literally said the word 'spirit'. What is a 'spirit'? Why it's another word for a 'ghost'. I then see Tyler walk out the door and so I quickly run after him and say "AYOO TYJO! DO YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS!" Tyler then turns around and gives me a blank look that gave me shivers down my spine as if death itself had just looked at me. My face turns red in embarrassment and I say "Uhm you know what Tyler, nevermind. Ghosts do not exist." I then decide to take a run down the streets to get away from Tyler because I didn't want him to hurt me or even worse k-i-l-l me. I mean that would be terrible. So I then remember Tyler doesn't know the whereabouts of the secret location I took him too. I could go there and hide out there for a few days. And so I go to a few stores and buy some clothes and food and drinks and put it in my backpack and then run off to the secret hideout down in the forest.
