Blurry's the one I'm not

he's haunting me

hello y'all. um, i guess there will be mentions of suicide and self-harm and triggers overall. just a warning :) idk what will come out of this, but enjoy my crazy, twisted thoughts xx

].[

Tyler, Josh and all Twenty one Pilots crew was on their Emotional Roadshow tour. it was all going really well. they enjoyed seeing their fans, Tyler singing his heart out, Josh hitting his drums as hard as he can. but something was bothering Tyler last days. he was thinking a lot, being on his own. Josh was cencerned about his friend, but thought, that he's just tired from all the shows and constantly being on the road.

Tyler was thinking a lot recently, he hadn't got any sleep the past days and there were bags under his eyes, skin pale. He had dark thoughts, that their fans weren't satisfied with their music anymore. that they didn't relate to the lyrics Tyler wrote with his soul and blood.
he tried to brush these thoughts away and went to sleep. they were in their tour bus, so it wasn't really comfortable, but he was tired.

Tyler woke up after what seemed like 2 hours, but was actually 30 minutes. still tired, he went to the bathroom and resting his hand on the sink, looked in the mirror.
The look was pathetic. his eyes were sore and red because of lack of sleep. his skin was pale, hair messy, contrasing the pale skin and appearing darker. the light blue shirt he was wearing was wrinkly. Tyler looked like a complete mess. For a second, when he blinked, he thought he saw something behind him. a person, looking almost like him. he dissapeared fast and tyler didn't pay attention to it.

After washing his face, Tyler went to see what others have been up to.
"hey Ty, you good?" Josh said softly, patting his friend on back"
"uhm, y-yeah, i'm fine. just tired. what are you up to tomorrow?"
Josh didn't want to do anything tomorrow, because it was their relax day in town, but he saw that it was a bad idea to leave Tyler alone with himself.
"um, i was wondering, maybe you wanna grab some Taco Bell and hang out? i know you're tired, but i wanted to spend some time with you except just driving around" Josh smiled. His smile being warm and eyes squinting in a cute way.
Tyler adored when he did it and couldn't say no. After all, he needed to be with someone to forget about his thoughts.
~~~

Tyler and Josh hopped out of the bus and headed into city.
"oh, look, theres Taco Bell" Josh said happily and pulled Tyler with him. They were starwing.
Tyler cought a glimpse of himself in a window of a car. He saw himself, but also a person behind him, looking just like Tyler, but a lot scarier. the human like creature had extra pale skin, dark, black hair, red, brightly shining eyes, full with hatred and for whatever reason - lust. also his neck and hands were pitch black.
Tyler shivered and looked in the mirror wide eyed. "no WAY!" he screamed in his mind, to himself. it looked like him, in concerts, pretending to be Blurryface. but a lot more real.
"Ty, you okay?" Josh pulled Tyler closer.
"um, yeah, i guess. l-lets's go get some tacos" Tyler didn't want to tell Josh about his weird hallucinations. he tought it was just his imagination going crazy because of lack of sleep. 
Tyler and Josh had fun time, hanging out, shopping a bit, playing some video games, but all the time in Tyler's head there was this thought. about the dark figure he sometimes saw behind him. The worst of all? every time he was closer to Tyler. Tyler was scared, but he didn't want to mock Josh with these weird thoughts.
~~~

After returning to their bus, it was already late, they got in and continiued driving. Tyler enjoyed the view of sun setting to dawn and the city rushing by, small drops of rain being placed on windows.
"Beautiful" Tyler quietly sighed.
"just like you, cutie" Josh smirked. they had this platonic love and it wasn't anything special. after all, they were best friends.
"oh shut up" Tyler chuckled and poked Josh.

It was late and Tyler went to sleep. He woke up on floor in their bus, except he was alone and it was a lot colder. He went to try and find someone. Tyler got to the drivers seat and saw two pitch black hands gripping the steering wheel. "Blurry..." Tyler whispered. 
"Hello, Tyler. nice to see you again. " the dark figure looked at Tyler with bright red eyes, bloodlike.
They stared at each other for what seemed like an ethernity. Tyler glimpsed at the road, there was a cliff in front of them. Tyler gasped, looking back at Blurry.
"no one can save you Tyler. it's your own fault. you will fall and get hurt. and it's your. own. fault"
these words echoed in Tyler's head when Blurry looked at him, digging his nails into Tylers wrist. "you cannot escape from me, Tyler. even Josh can't save you"
he dissapeared. leaving Tyler in the bus, crashing down the cliff.
