Tyler woke up 11 AM in the morning to only him in the room. Josh wasn't in his bed. Maybe he's in the kitchen?

On his nightstand was a note that said 'From Josh' with sloppy hand writing. He grabbed it and opened up the folded piece of paper.

At the tree house with Brendon.

Didn't want to wake you up because

you looked so peacefull sleeping.

Lauren is working today and won't

get back 'til 5 PM

Come to the treehouse when you wake up

Tyler smiled when he read the note. It was kinda cute that Josh cared enough about him to write a note just so he could sleep longer. He placed the piece of paper back on the night stand and burried his head in the pillow. It had a faded sent of Josh, which made Tyler happy inside. But the happy feeling soon faded away when he heard a voice shouting:

"Tyler Joseph! Come here! You have some explaining to do!"

Tyler felt fear rush through him. He began shaking as he slowly got up and walked out the door. His father stood a few feet away from him with his belt in his hands.

"What is it father?", Tyler asked.

"These walls are as thin as paper. I heard all you were talking about"

"If you and Tyler where such good friends, how come you haven't seen eachother in so long?", Josh asked.

"I don't know, we just said goodbye and forgot about eachother", Brendon answered, "We were close, but not as close as you two. It's like, if I met Tyler everyday of my life, I wouldn't mind it. If he left and I'd never seen him again, I wouldn't mind that either. As long as I know he's fine and we're friends, I don't mind. Because friends can avoid eachother for years, but when we finally meet and talk it's just like we never got seperated"

"Wow", Josh said, "It's really beautiful what you have, but I don't want something like that. I want to be with him for the rest of my life"

"In what way?"

"I-in a brother way. We're step brothers after all"

"You stuttered. You're lying"

Josh blushed a little and scratched the back of his head nervously.

"Okay... maybe I like him in another way too... But I'm not sure, and neither is he"

"How do you know? Have you asked him?"

"N-no.... we... um....", Josh's face became even more red and Brendon gasped.

"Oh my God!", he gasped, "Did you have sex?!"

"What? NO! We just kissed! Jesus Christ!", Josh laughed.

"Damn. Out of all people, I would've never thought you two would end up together", Brendon said with a laugh at the end.

"Me neither..."

There was a few moments of silence as they sat in the treehouse. It wasn't awkward, which was good since they both hated those kinds of silences. Josh was going to speak, but was interupted by a loud yelp from the woods. They both tried to listen if the sound would come back, and it did.

"It sounds like a person. We need to go down and check", Josh said.

Brendon nodded and they both fast climbed down the ladder. When they'd reached the bottom they looked around to see if they could spot anyone. They tried to be quiet and listen. There was one more yelp and a person fell out of the bushes and down at the ground. They both ran over to the person and saw that the person had blood on their back. Josh already knew who it was.
