Step Brothers | Joshler (UNDER EDITING)

Chapter 16

"I do", Lauren said.

"You may now kiss the bride", the priest said.

Chris happily leaned in and gave Lauren a sweet kiss. Everyone stood up and cheered for them. Even Tyler and Josh. They were the happiest of them all. Because they were going to get Chris in jail. Brendon was gonna call the cops, so Chris wouldn't get suspicious if Tyler or Josh began to call people. They wanted to bring Chris into a room and lock him there until the police arrived. At the big house that they hired for the wedding party there was many rooms they could do this in.

Josh felt kinda bad for his mother though. Arresting her husband on their wedding day. But he knew it would be for the best to get rid of him as fast as possible.

After they'd danced a few dances, Josh and Tyler pretended like they were calling someone and ran off. They knew Chris was keeping and eye on them, and as soon as they disapeared up to the third floor he followed after. The two boys had made their way into a big empty room and Chris was right after.

"What are you up to, huh? Calling the cops on my wedding day?"

"No, we just wanted to be alone", Josh said, "Nothing else"

"But now that you're here...", a known voice said behind them.

Chris turned around and saw a person he hadn't seen in years. It was Brendon in suit and tie. He closed the door they came through and locked it with a key. He slided the key under the door and you could hear the key fall down the stairs.

"There is no escape", Josh said, "We've got you, and the cops are on their way"

Chris stood there for a few seconds and just stared at the 3 boys in front of him. At first he tried to breath in and out to control his anger, but soon gave up and tackled Brendon to the ground. He grabbed Brendon's throat and got ready to punch with his other hand.

"It's all your fault I'm not happy! You ruin everything for me!", he shouted as Brendon dug his nails into Chris' arms, hoping he would let go and let him breath.

Josh fast ran over and kicked Chris' stomach. As Chris was in pain, Josh pushed him of Brendon and kicked him one more time. When he'd done that he rushed over to Brendon's side to see if he was okay. He was gasping for air as Josh helped him up from the ground. Josh was so focused on helping Bredon, that he didn't even realize what had happened to Tyler.

"Joshua~", Chris said.

Josh looked over at Chris and felt fear rush through his body. Which was new to him, because he rarely got scared. But this time, he was more scared than ever. Brendon looked over at Tyler and felt anger and fear rush through him. Brendon stood there in silence and didn't know what to do, while Josh furrowed his eye brows and gritted his teeth.

"Let him go!", Josh shouted with anger.

Chris had his left arm around Tyler's throat and in his right hand he had a knife that was pointed at Tyler's temple. Not a small pocket knife, it was a big kitchen knife. He held it in his hand tight and smiled at Josh while slowly sliding the knife's sharp end down Tyler's face without leaving a mark.

"I had a feeling something would happen tonight", Chris said, "And I said that if you called the cops I would kill Tyler", he laughed while talking, "And who would I be if I wasn't a man of my words", he asked in a serious tone.

"The police is here!", they heard from down stairs.

There was heard screams and glass being broken down stairs. None of them knew why the cops were here. But soon, everyone would know.

"Tell the cops everything is fine, or Tyler will get hurt"

"You're mad!", Brendon shouted, "You should go get fixed! You should not kill your own son! Actually, you should not kill ANYBODY"

"Do as I say!", Chris shouted.

Josh turned to face Brendon with a look of sadness in his face.

"Go tell them to leave", Josh said.

"But-", Josh cut him off:

"I'm sorry, but we've lost"

He gave a small wink to Brendon, signing that he only said that so Tyler wouldn't get hurt. Brendon nodded and got out the spare key he had in his pocket. He unlocked the door and ran down stairs. As soon as he was gone, Josh walked over and closed the door. He then looked over at Chris nd Tyler with a sad look.

"Please, let him go. I'll do whatever you say, just... let him go"

"Not until the cops are gone"

Josh sighed as he knew that wouldn't happen. He heard footsteps from behind the door and moved a few steps away from the opening.

"He's in there!", Brendon shouted.

"You clever fuckers....", Chris said.

The door got kicked down and four cops came inside. They saw the situation and knew that whatever they did could lead to Tyler's death. They slowly began to walk towards Chris, hoping they could stop him in time. He reacted fast and stabbed Tyler in the left side of his stomach. He pushed the knife deep in and pulled it out. Blood dripped from the knife as the cops tackled him to the ground. Tyler just stood there, mouth open and wide eyes. He slowly looked down and placed a hand on his wound, then fell down on his knees. Tyler was trying to catch pieces of air, but it was hard because of how much pain he was in. Josh ran over to Tyler and layed him down in his arms. Tyler looked in Josh's eyes and smiled as tears fell down his face.

"I told you something bad would happen...", he muttered out with a small laugh at the end.

One of the cops called an ambulance while the others put hand cuffs on Chris and brought him out of the room. Brendon stood there and watched as Tyler slowly lost the light in his eyes. He didn't know what to do. He hoped it was all a dream. They all hoped it was all a dream. But it wasn't a dream. It was real life. It was the truth.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry...", Josh whispered as tears fell from his eyes.

He burried his face in Tyler's chest and said sorry over and over. With what little power Tyler had left he ran a hand through Josh's hair trying to make him feel better. Tyler felt like he would pass out any minute, and he knew that once he passed out he would not wake up again. So he wanted to make sure that his last time with Josh would be good.

"~Sometimes we will die....~", Tyler began to sing with a weak voice, "~And sometimes we will fly.... Either way you're by my side.... until... my... dying days..."

Josh looked up at Tyler and saw a small smile on his face.

"~And if I'm not... there.... And I'm far away... I said.... Don't be afraid... I said Don't be... afraid... I'm going home..."

Josh kissed Tyler's lips with tears streaming down his face. He kissed back and placed his blood filled hand on Josh's cheek. Josh couldn't care less that he would have a blood hand mark on his cheek. All he cared about was Tyler.

Soon the moment ended and Tyler's hand fell down on the floor as every muscle in his body became cold and lifless. Josh tried to shake Tyler carefully, but didn't get any response.

"Tyler...?", Josh asked, "Tyler? TYLER?"

No words. No movement. No nothing.

"No, no, no!", Josh shouted, "Tyler, come back....!"

Some people that Josh assumed to be the people from the ambulance, came inside and grabbed Tyler's body away from him. They brought his body to the ambulance and Josh followed after as tears fell down his face. They drove to the hospital as fast as possible, hoping they would be able to save the boy.
