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

Chapter Twenty Nine.

My eyes flew open after a brief fifteen minutes of sleep. I sat up slightly, propping myself up on my elbows as I didn't have enough space in the bunk to sit up fully.
I turned to my left and saw Josh lying beside me, lightly snoring. I sighed to myself in remembering what had happened before I ended up here. My jealousy of Jenna at this point was at its highest. And it was stupid. I shouldn't be jealous at all. If anything, I should be happy for Tyler. He's finally found someone who makes him happy, someone he can share with not only Josh but his fans too, and I was being selfish by not encouraging that.

Suddenly I heard the voices of two very familiar people.
Jenna and Tyler.
And I was lying in bed with Josh, under the duvet and I had no way of getting out.
Shit.
I began to panic to myself as I heard footsteps grow closer and closer to the room I was in. There was no way I was going to face Tyler on my own, and clearly Josh wasn't going to wake up anytime soon.
As the door handle turned, I quickly turned o my side, facing away from the bunk, which I then realised was a wrong move as I was now unintentionally spooning Josh.
Brilliant.
I had no time to move now as the curtain was pulled back. I squeezed my eyes shut and listened carefully trying to figure out if it was Jenna or Tyler, and by the agitated grunt that was made when the curtain was pulled back, it was definitely Tyler.
A few seconds passed before the curtain was threw shut and Tyler stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind him.

This caused Josh to jolt awake.

"What happened?" He asked, running his eyes from tiredness.
"Well, we fell asleep, and Tyler just caught us..." I sighed.
Josh frowned and put his head into his hands, knowing his best friend was going to be upset with him.
"I'm sorry Amanda, I shouldn't have comforted you so much, it was stupid of me." Josh apologised.
"Don't be silly. I needed some comfort so thank you for that. Besides, Tyler shouldn't be jealous anyway, he has Jenna after all and he never really liked me anyway." I told him, trying to convince myself that I had nothing to worry about.

The next morning, I awoke on the bus once more, only this time I woke up in a bunk of my own to the left of Josh. I suppose he put me into this bunk in fear of Tyler finding us again.
I climbed out of the bunk and ruffled my hair a bit, trying to tidy it up as much as I could.
I then knocked on the side of Josh's bunk and pulled back the curtain.
He looked up at me and smiled.
"I put you into that one to stop Tyler going crazy." He chuckled.
I nodded in response, "I guess I should head home, let you guys finish your tour,thanks for taking care of me though."
Josh nodded and got out of bed so he could walk me out of the bus, but then he stopped in his tracks and so I raised an eyebrow at him.
"Josh? I need to go.." I laughed slightly.
"Well, you don't have to go. Last night was lit last tour date so we can go home whenever we feel." He explained.
I sighed in relief. I wasn't ready to be alone just yet and so I was pretty relieved that I could hang out with Josh for a bit longer.

As we opened the door to the living room area, we saw Jenna sat on the couch, clutching a cup of tea in her hands, a worried look on her face.
"Oh, Josh, Amanda. You haven't seen Tyler anywhere have you?" She asked with a hint of hope in her voice.
Josh and I looked at each other in confusion.
"No?" We both said in unison. "Wasn't he with you?" I added.
"No, he never came to bed last night. I tried calling him but he didn't take his phone with him. I'm so worried about him!" She explained, panic now overtaking her voice.

Suddenly a thought came over me, a thought about Tyler and his whereabouts. 'What would he do if he was upset?' I asked myself.
I then headed to the door of the bus and threw it open and without saying a word I left, closing the door behind me.

I knew just where to find him.
