Tyler's POV

-

I woke up the next morning in my bed with stained tears on my cheeks. I walked into the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. I'm a complete mess. Pieces of my hair was sticking up, my eyes bloodshot red, with stained tears. I look at my hand and see bandages on them, some red with blood. I go to the kitchen with the very little energy I have.

I get to the fridge and as I was about to open it I see a note:

Gone grocery shopping. Stay safe

~J xx

I smile to myself. Josh.

My breath hitches. This isn't Josh. This is Jenna, Josh is, gone. I shut my eyes and let tears weal up in my eyes.

I hear the door open, I quickly open my eyes and fall back, hitting a knife on the counter, having it fall with me. I wince at the metal hitting the ground. "Tyler?" I hear Jenna's voice coming from the living room. I was about to say something until I heard a gasp. I look up and see Jenna with her hands over her mouth, eyeing the knife. "Jenna calm down. I just fell." I say kinda annoyed. Jenna comes and helps me up. "I- I brought a friend." Jenna says quietly. I give her a friendly smile, "Who is it?" I say picking up the knife.

"Her name's Debby."

My breath hitches at the name. Isn't that Josh's ex- girlfriend? "Tell her to get out." I demand, feeling tears weal up for what it feels like the hundredth time. "Why?" Jenna says raising her voice, looking annoyed. "Just get her out." I say, quieter. "Is this because of Josh!?" Jenna this time yells, probably loud enough for Debby to hear. When I don't answer, Jenna keeps yelling. "God damnit Tyler! Just forget about Josh! That's all you ever think about!" Jenna yells. I feel tears start coming down my cheeks, as I was about to say something, Jenna continues, "I'm glad he's dead! Josh was nothing! He's useless! Tyler why couldn't you see that! Ugh! Tyler I was the one that made that car crash!" Just as those words left her lips, she immediately covered her mouth. I feel more tears come down as I speak in my, small, broken voice. "You- you were in th-the car cr-crash?" I say in a broken voice. "Tyler I did it for us." Jenna immediately softens. "We can love each other now." Jenna says smiling, walking towards me. I stare at her, horrified. She was the reason Josh died? She puts her hand on my cheek. I quickly push her away, "Go to hell, Jenna." I say as I walk past her, walk past Debby and slam the door closed.

"Hey, is this Melanie?"

"Yes...who's this?"

"Its Tyler."

"Oh! Tyler! Hey long time no-"

"Yeah, um, will you come pick me up? I'm outside my apartment complex. Bird way apartments?"

"Oh I know where that is. Something wrong?"

"I'll explain when you get here."
