Imaginary Angel (joshler)

Chapter Four

tyler was awoken by the beeping of his alarm clock. when he starts to sit up, he remembers what happened last night. but his only thought is that blurryface abandoned half way through his beating.
he stumbles to the bathroom him and his sister, madison, share. he looks at his face, which is covered in a dark bruise and has a long gash down his cheek.
he grabs maddison's makeup starting to cover up the bruise, when she walks in.
"did it happen again? is that why we got no dinner" madison asked worried for her older brother.
"yes. and i'm sorry about the dinner." tyler replies guiltily.
"ty, it's ok. i'm just worried for you. we all are"
"it's fine. go get breakfast, i have to finish up here" she goes downstairs.
once tyler is done with getting ready and covering his bruise, he heads into the kitchen. all the blood from last night is gone and he guesses zach cleaned it up, because his mother sure as hell didn't.
he starting to make breakfast when his mom walks in and says "tyler, don't you know. after punishment you don't get any breakfast. god for always getting a's, your so dumb" tyler puts his food back up.
"mom he needs to eat" zach fires at his mom.
"zach" tyler warns.
"no mom you can't keep beating him for stupid shit" zach yells at his mom. their mom turns around.
"tyler deserves everything he gets. and your almost 16 maybe you need to start getting the same punishments as tyler"
"no mom please he's just tiered. i'll talk to him" tyler pleads.
"you better. now hurry you guys need to be getting to school" she shoos them out.
when they get in tyler's car, tyler turns to his brother.
"zach, you need to stop sticking up for me. your only going to get your self hurt"
"no, there was so much blood last night. jay almost walked in on it. we need to tell someone about before she kills you"
"zach, if we tell someone then we are gonna be split up in the system. i would take the chance here" tyler turns back straight and starts the car up. he starts to back up from the drive way and makes his way to school.
tyler parks and they walk into school together. tyler stops by his locker to grab his books for class when he feel someone tapping his shoulder.
he turns around to be met face to face with josh. that's when he remembers he was supposed to text him last night.
"hey tyler you never texted me"
"oh yea, your number kinda rubbed off"
"oh that's ok. here give me your phone i'll put it in there so you won't lose it this time" josh flashed his bright smile at tyler, who felt himself smiling back at him.
after they exchanged numbers the bell rang, and they headed to class.
when he got to math he sat down with a big smile on his face. but his face fell when he saw who was sitting on the desk in front of him.
"how's josh" blurryface said with a wicked smile.
"we need to talk later" tyler whispered.
"yes, we very much so do"
