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

Chapter Thirty Seven.

Having Tyler and Josh stay with me was like living in a blissful heaven. It was almost as if no matter what happened, everything would be okay because they were there with me and around me.
Sure I had to go back to work at the venue, but the boys always waited up for me and sometimes they'd even come down to the venue just to see me at work.
If you had asked me when I had uploaded that video to YouTube if I would end up dating half of Twenty One Pilots and being best friends with them, I probably would have laughed in your face. It was crazy how much things had changed, but I loved it.

As I came home that night from work, I was greeted by Tyler and Josh sat in the living room, staring at me.
"What is it?" I asked with confusion, not really sure as to why both boys were waiting for me like this.
"Sit down, Amanda." Josh spoke as he gestured to the single arm chair beside him.
I raised an eyebrow at his request and headed over to the chair, making myself comfortable.
Josh took a deep breath before exhaling it back out slowly.
"So, our management called today, whilst you were at work." He began.
I already knew where this was going.
"And, they want us to head back to Ohio. We were planning to go home anyway, but we didn't expect it to be this soon." Tyler explained, lowering his head.
My eyes filled with tears but I refused to let them escape. I rapidly blinked them back and swallowed hard before managing to choke out an "okay."
"So you're heading home?" I added.
They nodded at my question and I sighed in response, feeling regret that I ever let them stay with me, as I knew it would be hard to let them leave.
"When do you go?" I asked.
"We leave tomorrow morning." Josh answered.
I sighed once more and held my head in my hands.
Tyler and Josh both got up and knelt down beside me. Josh rubbed my back whilst Tyler rested his hand on my knee. I quietly sobbed into my hands, their actions only making me cry harder.
"Is there nothing you can do?" I asked with hope.
"Well, there is one thing..." Tyler trailed off.
I looked up at him, my eyes lighting up at his response.
"What is it?" I encouraged him.
"Well. The only way we would all be able to hang out still is..." Josh began.
Tyler took hold of my hands and looked into my eyes.
"Is if you come with us and live in Ohio."
My eyes widened at the offer. Live with them? In Ohio? That was almost on the other side of the world. Could I really just up and leave everything behind me?
"You don't have to decide anything until tomorrow morning. Just think about it, okay?" Josh spoke up.
I nodded at him.
"We are gonna head off to bed, see you in the morning, Amanda." He added as he rose to this feet and began walking to his room.
Tyler got up shortly after and kissed my forehead before heading into my room.

Later that night, I sat in the living room by myself, looking out of the window at the night sky. Everything was still. Everything was quiet. The only noise I could hear was light snoring coming from the boys as they slept.
I chuckled to myself at the sound. Even when they were asleep, they still managed to remain so cute and so pure.
I looked around my home, taking it all in. I loved it here. It was a lovely place to live and my job wasn't too bad either. Did I really want to give it all up to go live abroad just to be around my boyfriend and his best friend? For all I know, we could all fall out and I would be stranded in Ohio. Could I really risk all I had here to take a chance with a new beginning?

When I woke that morning, Tyler and Josh were packing their cases. I watched as Tyler threw all his belongings into his suitcase.
He then turned to face me and his eyes trailed down to the shirt I was wearing, which was in fact one of his shirts.
"Sorry, you'll need this back." I spoke as I grabbed the hem of the shirt to tug it over my head.
Tyler grabbed my hands and pulled them away from the shirt. I looked up at him and raised an eyebrow at him in confusion.
"Keep it." He told me. "So you'll have something to remember me by."
I nodded, straightening down the shirt.
"Do you think...this will be it for us?" I asked.
Tyler frowned at me and pulled me into a hug.
I inhaled his scent and sighed in response. Everything about him was warm and comforting. His scent was almost like home to me. His touch felt like heaven, it was something I couldn't get enough of.
Tyler then pulled apart and placed his fingertips on my chin, tilting my head up to face him.
"I love you, Amanda." He spoke.
I smiled warmly at his statement. "I love you too, Tyler."
Tyler then leaned in towards me and kissed my lips with an intense passion. It was our first kiss since being together and it felt so perfect. My stomach twisted as he deepened the kiss, grabbing onto my hips as he did so.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and played with his hair as he just stood there, kissing each other for what felt like an eternity.

And just like that, my mind was changed.
"Tyler." I spoke as we pulled apart.
He looked at me with hope in his eyes, as if he knew what I was going to say.

"We've got a plane to catch."
