Rubik's Cube (Joshler)

CHAPTER 2: Are You Okay?

Tyler's POV ~

All day blurryface has been taunting me. He's been getting louder and louder and I can't seem to shut him out.

I was sitting in fourth period which happened to be art, by now blurry was practically screaming in my ear.

" yoUr WoRthlESs! , NoONE CareS AbOUt YoU!....JuSt GIVe uP!"  blurry's voice rang through my head, I didn't even try to fight anymore cause I've been fighting him all day and just can't anymore. I felt tears brim at my eyes and I held back a sob.

I slowly stood up grabbing my bag and made my way out of the class when the teacher wasn't paying attention. Once I was out of the class I ran down the hall letting silent tears roll down my cheeks.

I turn a corner only to run into someone running the opposite way as me. Both of us fell to the ground and a loud thud echoed through the halls.

As I tried to quickly wipe my tears before the person I ran into could see I was crying, they crawled over to me on their knees sounding very panicked and out of breath.

"I-I'm I'm so s-sorry I-are um I-I'm sorry." they desperately tried to apologize through strings of sobs and gaps."Are... Are y-you o-okay?" they asked. "Y-yes are you?" I returned my voice cracking slightly.

"Uh um yes?" they replied but it sounded more like a question. I now took notice to the tears that were streaming down their face.

"You're crying" I said and he just sat back on his calves and wiped his eyes with the his sleeves pulled up over his hands. (sweater paws) "s-so were you!" he snapped then almost instantly after spoke again "I'm s-sorry" he whispered so softly it was barely audible."it's okay" I tried to reassure him but he just shook his head no and hugged his knees close to his chest.

After sitting on the floor for a minute or two in silence the kid I ran into got up and started to walk away without another word. I quickly got up and ran after him grabbing his shoulder and turning him around, to which he flinched and took in a sharp breath.

Noticing I must have took him by surprise I quickly withdraw my hand and drop it to my side. He didn't move he just stared wide eyed at me while still trying to regain a normal breathing pattern.

"Um I... I'm Tyler"I say as I extend my hand for him to shake. "J-Josh" he shakes my hand. "Well Josh where were you heading in such a hurry?" I cocked an eyebrow at him." ....I could a-ask you the s-same thing..... B-but t-to answer your q-question I was heading h-home."

"I was heading home as well.. What happened that made you want to go home?"he looked at the ground and mumbled "I h-had a p-panic(at the disco..sorry I'll leave) attack."

"Oh are you okay?" I asked with concern "better t-then I w-was a few mins ago."he forced a smile. "Okay... Uhh you want a drive home?" he looked a little unsure at first, but eventually nodded and followed me outside to my car.

When we got in the car Josh told me his address and I started the car and made my way there. The whole drive Josh fiddled anxiously with his hands and stared at his lap.

We pulled up to his house and I turn to look at him."you gonna be okay? Is there anyone home?" he lifts his head to look at me but I noticed he wouldn't make direct eye contact with me. "Y-yeah ... My mom s-should be home. I h-have a key anyway.. Um....  t-thanks." he looked back down at his lap when he was finished talking.

"Your welcome" I smiled and he smiled back going to get out of the car when I stopped him. "H-hey um would it be weird if I asked for your number?.. You seem really nice and I would like to get to know you.. Maybe we could be friends?" he looked shocked by what I had just said."really?... Y-you want to be my f-friend?" now it was my turn to be shocked why wouldn't I want to be his friend. "yes, I really do" his face lit up a bit and a small smile played on his lips.

I gave him my number and told him to text me later and with that he simply waved goodbye and ran to his front door opening it and going inside.

As I started to drive to my house blurry decides to show up again, I knew it was to good to be true, as if I really thought he was done for the day.

A/N ~ I'm sorry this sucks I'm going to continue with it tho because I have no life and nothing better to do, also maybe I can start getting better at writing if I continue... Who knows... And tbh I kinda like it in a way and really want to finish it. Oh and sorry for leaving it at a awkward place because next chapter is gonna be in Josh's POV but I'll make it work somehow. This chapter was longer then the first one so I'm proud of that anyway I'm gonna go now cause this a/n is super long. Love you! Bye❤
