Metaphorically, I'm a Whore... // Tyler Joseph

Chapter Twenty.

(A/N - hey! Just to let you guys know that in this story Amanda is 18 and Tyler and Josh are 22. I wanted to make there not be a huge gap between them all so there we go! On with the story!)

*1 year later*

My alarm tone began blaring through the silence of my bedroom, startling me awake from my deep sleep. I groaned as I reached my arm over and grabbed my phone, pressing the 'snooze' button before then throwing my phone underneath my bed in hopes to not be disturbed again by the annoying tone.

I was wrong.

I had set two alarms the night before, both within a minute of each other and so once again I reached for phone, turning off the alarms and silencing them for good.

I sat up in my bed and stretched before swinging my legs round and standing up, stretching once more.
I then made my way downstairs and made myself a cup of coffee in hopes it would wake me up.
As I waited for coffee to cool down, I began to think about how this time last year, I was at Warped Tour in America, having the time of my life.
Last year I had just finished school for good. Instead of going to University like everyone expected and wanted me to do, I decided to follow my interest in singing and performing and so I took a bar job at a local music venue. At least that way I was still in the music scene, even if I wasn't going to be the one performing.

Every now and then I speak to Josh. He's so busy with touring and stuff that it's rare for us to text on the daily, but when we do talk to each other it's great! He's doing so well with the band, they've gotten so popular now it's insane.
As for Tyler, I never heard anything from him since the day I left Warped Tour. It didn't stop me, however, from thinking back to that night in the bathroom. To say I had a crush on him was an understatement. Did I still have one? Of course I did. I'd be insane not to. I had one way before I had even met him, but that night in the  bathroom had definitely encouraged those feelings.  I did start to wonder from that point if he felt the same in the slightest, but his actions after that soon proved that I was being absolutely delirious.

I was snapped out of my thoughts by my phone vibrating. I picked up my cup of coffee and took a sip as I opened a new message from Josh.

From: Josh
"Amanda! Hey! :)"

I smiled at my phone screen and quickly replied.

From: Amanda
"Josh! Hello! How's it going? :D"

From: Josh
"It's going great! I'm just messaging you to tell you that we have a show coming up in London next month!"

From: Amanda
"I know! I tried to get tickets but I couldn't get them in time! And besides I'm working the night anyway so I couldn't have made it after all! :(
However! I do know that the venue you guys booked is the venue I work at! :)"

From Josh: "No way! That's awesome! I'll tell the venue to give you a pass and you can come chill with me backstage!"

From Amanda: "That would be awesome! Thanks Josh! See you then!"

I smiled at my phone as I finished off my coffee. I was going to get the chance to hang out with Josh again! I was definitely excited.
But then a thought struck my mind.
If I hang out with Josh, I'm most definitely going to have to hang out with Tyler again.
I cringed at the thought and sighed to myself. Why did he have to make it all awkward between us?

I hated this.
