Blurry's the one I'm not

sign of defeat

Tyler and Josh were in their dressing room, 30 minutes before the show. The room was pretty big. They had a bathroom with a huge mirror, a shower and all the other things they need. In their room the guys had a big couch, some food, redbull and ofcourse, all their clothes.
"Are you sure you wanna perform tonight? we can cancel it, dude. it's fine" Josh sat beside Tyler and patted him on the back.
"yeah, man. i'm okay. i think. i'm scared though." Tyler sighed.
"it will be okay. i promise. i will knock him out with a drumstick!" Josh jumped up and said aggresivly. They both just laughed.
~~~
They had 15 more minutes till the show, so it was time to dress up and get ready. They both agreed on wearing red tuxedos and black, skinny jeans. And after first half of the show Tyler will wear his floral kimono and Josh will go with a black shirt. Everything was ready, the crew was ready, the audience was ready. Except Tyler, he was excited, as always, but also terrified.
"Let's go guys, everything's set!" a guy shouted opening the door.
"come on, let's kill this show" Josh hugged Tyler and went to the stage. Tyler smiled at him, breathed in and followed Josh.
~~~
The stage was dark with some dim lights so Josh could see where his drums were. Their first song was Ode to Sleep so Tyler would come out later, jumping over his piano.
Josh was on his drums and the song was already playing. Tyler took the mic and ran on stage doing an epic jump. The crowd was huge. Tyler is always so shocked by how many people want to watch their shows, it's amazing.
The show was going great, the crowd loved it, Tyler was singing his heart out, Josh was hitting his drums as hard as he could. It was time for a song they rarely play live. it was a song called Truce. Tyler sat by his piano, lights shining on him, crowd looking at him with awe. it was an amazing feeling. Tyler started to play the calm melody, still looking at the crowd. at that moment his heart sank. he saw Blurry, he was holding a knife to a person's neck, kindly smiling at Tyler.
"what? no one else sees him?!" Tyler thought, slightly panicking. Everything went dark at that point, all lights turned off, it was pitch black. Tyler didn't move, he didn't want to face Blurry. The chair he was sitting on broke and he fell, hitting his elbow. It was time to finally open his eyes. There was a dim light coming from the ceiling, just enough for Tyler to see the stage. It looked awful, the floor had huge holes in it, his piano was missing keys, Josh's drums were ruined. The audience was empty, most of the chairs missing.
"Tyler, it's nice to finally talk to you" Blurry said standing behind him. "why are you still fighting to stay strong, you know you can't. you know you can't fight me. " Blurry leaned closer to Tyler, who was still on the ground, looking terrified.
"h-how are you still here..? i thought they got rid of you for good.." Tyler stuttered out, his hands shaking.
"they? got rid of me? you can never escape from me, Tyler. i won't let you be happy" he stared at Tyler with bright red eyes, grinning with sharp, animal-like teeth.
"and if you will try to get rid of me, i will hurt you. badly. oh no, even better - i will hurt Josh. you don't want that, don't you? then let me have some fun" Blurry was walking around the stage, smoothly avoiding holes in the ground.
"why? why are you doing this to me?" Tyler was standing by his piano, barely breathing.
"i'm a psychopath, Ty. haven't you figured it out yet? and i will make you go insane with me" he leaned in really close to Tyler, staring in his eyes.
"though you will never understand the satisfaction of blood on your hands, the desire to kill, to torture... just let me have some fun Ty." Blurry dragged a knife along Tyler's neck leaving little marks.
"no, p-please leave me alone" Tyler said quietly.
"do you remember when you were 12 years old and and you were wearing a lot of blue clothes? and i told you not to wear blue, that it's a sign of defeat. well i see that nothing has changed. " Blurry looked at Tyler's red tuxedo, smirking. "reverse the red, it will be blue. you are always defeated, Tyler. you try to hide it but you can't, you will always be defeated, and besides Josh, no one even needs you. talking about Josh, be careful, you don't want him dead, don't you?" Blurry wispered in Tylers ear holding him by his shoulders. He couldn't take it anymore, his eyes were full with tears and fears. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" he screamed, pushing Blurryface away and collapsing on the ground.
"Ty! Tyler, dude you okay?!" he heard Josh's voice through an earpiece they both have to communicate. Tyler was sitting by his piano, on stage, the crowd looking at him with anticipation. was this all a dream?
"Tylerrr? you're sitting there for like 3 minutes just playing the melody, you good?" Josh was talking to him again.
Tyler looked at him with surprise and sadness in his eyes. He got everything together and started to sing. His voice was shaky and he was on the verge to cry. Good thing it went together with the song so no one knew he actually wanted to break down right now.  The rest of the show was good, Tyler didn't see Blurryface anywhere and that made him a little less worried.
                                 ~~~
After the show Tyler and Josh quickly showered, talked to some fans and went to the bus, their schedule was tight that week.
"hey Tyler, you wanna talk about what happened during Truce?" Josh came in their "kitchen" while Tyler was opening a can of redbull. Josh looked really worried and concerned. he grabbed a bag of chips and sat beside his friend.
"i-uhm. ugh, it's hard to explain.. " Tyler sighed.
"was it him?" Tyler shivered as Josh asked him.
"yeah, he's a psychopath, dude. he won't leave me alone, he wants to hurt me, he wants to hurt you. " he put his head in his hands, trying to calm down.
"he won't, and if he will, we can get through everything together, right? remeber how you helped me with anxiety and how you held me when i had panic attacks? i will hold you and talk to you everytime you will be scared, okay?" Josh smiled lightly.
"yeah.. thanks, man" Tyler put his head on pink-haired boy's shoulder.
"hey, whats on your shoulder?" Josh asked touching Tyler's black shoulders.
"oh god, must've been him. he held me by my shoulders when we were talking. he can affect me in real life, dude. and that's why i'm scared" Tyler said trying to clean his shoulder. " and i'm not sure if you would be able to take him out with a drumstick. i saw him holding a knife to someones neck during the show. "
They both sat in silence for a moment, observing everything that happened, hugging and eating chips.
"well, atleast we have a day off tomorrow.." Josh tried to be optimistic even though he was as scared as Tyler was.
