Can't Go Back- Joshler

{chapter 2}

I run up to the large window in the employee room. The room is messy and  the painting job is terrible. Paint chipping off on the wall, carpets being ripped up, and toilet paper and food stains. No one uses the employee lounge except me, when i want to watch Tyler burn his magazine, because surprisingly, it's the cleanest window, and the window is the closest to where he burns magazines. I watch him burn the magazines every day because i want to see if he ever does anything different. He doesn't. But today after he's finished burning the magazine, he comes back into the store. I'm the only employee in the store because i was supposed to lock the store up. But he's here now, and i have some questions for him. He never comes back into the store. The boy looks around and after 10 minutes he comes back with milk. Milk? why milk?

~~~all of you are thinking of the milk fic rn aren't you~~~

"Hey, Um, Tyler. it's closing time, so-" i manage to explain.

"I have to buy this." he answers blankly.

"This is a pretty odd question but, uh, why are you buying milk?" I ask.

"What does it look like? My mom needs me to buy some milk. Isn't buying milk a normal thing?" He argues. Woah, I didn't mean to anger him.

"Oh, i'm sorry. It's just you seem very interesting and you always buy a magazine and i thought-" i trailed off.

Gosh. I liked Tyler, but i'm pretty sure he doesn't like me very much.
After buying the milk, I watch him exit the store with it. I look down at the counter. He gave me extra money. An extra $4.18. With a note attached to it. I put the money aside and opened the ripped and heavily folded note.

Josh-
School. Saturday. Janitors closet. 3:24.

Alright. I flipped over the note. It didn't say anything else. I have so many questions. Does he mean my school? Or does he go to the same one as me? i've never seen him around before.
Then i remember earlier; the boy i thought i knew. It was him. He does go to my school even though i've never seen him around. I assume he means this Saturday, so in 3 days. The janitor's closet is easy to figure out. But does he mean 3:24 in the morning or in the afternoon? And why that specific time? Oh God. What has Tyler gotten me into?
When I get home from work, it's 7:46 PM. I have about 3 hours until I have to "go to sleep" according to my parents, but i have insomnia, and i haven't slept for about a week or two. I have redbull, so i'm alright. I get my phone out and set an alarm for 3:00 i the morning for Saturday. And an alarm for 3:00 in the afternoon for Saturday.
The next morning at school before classes start, i look around the school for Tyler. Just as i thought, he wouldn't be here. Alright. Then the next day, then the next. Until it's friday night.
My alarm goes off at 3:00. I got up quietly so I don't wake up my parents, got changed, and walked outside. It was Springtime, so i didn't have to wear a jacket. I took my bike and rode it to school.
I checked my phone when i got to the school. 3:19 AM. I have some time left. I take a short walk around the school. It's nice when jets quiet and dark. I'm used to the school being loud and crowded, but now it's quiet and alone. Depressing, almost. After a while, I walk towards the janitors closet. I check my phone. 3:23 AM. I'm right on time i guess. I open the janitor's closet and see tyler sitting in the corner, doing nothing. He looks up and sees me. He tries not to look happy when he sees me, but does a bad job of hiding it.

"Josh, you got the right time. And the right place. Thank you." Tyler says with a smile.

"No problem. It's cool meeting you here. Also, why am i meeting you here? I-" he interrupts me.

"Come with me. I have to show you something. I've never show this to anyone else before. So please don't tell anyone, got it?" he explains. I nod my head yes.

"You swear you won't tell Josh? I'm trusting you." He reminds me.

"Of course. I would never tell anything to anyone about you if you didn't want me too. You should trust me, Tyler," I answer.
He smiles again. His smile is so cute. I love it, it's just like a ray of sunshine.
Wait. Am I gay? I don't think i'm gay, because I like girls as well. But I don't really like guys. Wait, I do a little bit but... Okay. For now, i'm just calling myself bisexual and seeing how it goes from there. I can't think about my sexuality for any longer because Tyler is already pulling me along to show me something really important to him.
