Baby Boy (Joshler)

Confession

Tyler's POV

I've just been getting worse and worse. I didn't want to promise Josh anything, but I want to get close him. I want him to be mine.

That night at the bridge he cared, but why? I'm no one important. My family hates me. My brothers don't talk to me. My parents are never home. No one cares.

Josh and I ended up ditching school and going to his house. I learned that he plays the drums and he learned I sing and play instruments.

I was walking home from Josh's. I made him let me walk. He didn't want to let me, but I did anyway.

I was walking in silence. Just silence.

I saw the bridge.

I heard the voices.

*go over and do it*
*no one cares*
*you can get what you really want*
*just do it already*

I started to cry. I wanted to so bad but I couldn't. I couldn't leave without Josh. I promised him.

I started to run faster than ever until I got there.

I stopped in my tracks.

I saw a car.

My parents car.

I wiped my tears and walked in as quickly and quietly as possible.

Too late..

"Tyler Robert Joseph why are you just getting home," my father yelled.

I winced and looked at him with an expression of being sorry.

"Get the fuck into your room little piece of shit," I ran up the stairs.

Why were they home.

They never were.

Why now.

Why me.

I heard my mom and dad loudly talking.

Drunk...again.

I heard footsteps towards my room so I just sat.

I rocked back and forth repeatedly.

I can't do this.

I can't.

My mom walked in screaming at me.

I didn't want to hear what she was saying.

She repeatedly kicked me, then left.

They left the house and got into the car and left.

I sat there crying. Why me. What did I ever do to deserve this treatment. I hated them. They were no good. Horrible.

Only I was treated like this. What's so wrong with me?

I picked up my phone and texted Josh.

Tyler: josh

He responded within the first 2 minutes.

Josh: hey. You okay Tyler?

Tyler: no

Josh: Tyler..

Tyler: I'm running over.

Josh: no I'll come get you.

Tyler: no, I'm running.

I grabbed my phone and sweatshirt and ran to Josh's house. I ran faster than ever. I didn't look back. I just ran like hell.

I got there and knocked on the door. He answered and looked at me panicked.

"You okay," he asked

I gave him a look and tears began streaming down. He led me inside and I sat in the couch and he sat on the floor in front of me on his knees.

"Tyler,"

"It's my-uh- parents," I told him.

He gave me a concerned look.

"What happened," he asked

I just looked at him and I'm pretty sure he got it.

I lifted my shirt and showed him the already formed bruises from my mother. I had a couple on my rib and more on my back and hips.

He looked disgusted. Not with me, but with my mother.

"That's it, you're staying with me," he said.

"Don't you have p-parents," I said

"My mom is all I have and she won't care after I explain to her,"

We sat there crying.

I looked him in the eyes.

I hugged him.

"Josh," I said

"Yeah," he responded.

"I love you," I confessed.

He smiled and his face lit up.

He said nothing, all he did was pull my face in and kiss me.

We locked our lips for a good while and when we let go we both smiled.

"Tyler," he said

I looked at him.

"Would you be my... boyfriend," he blushed.

I started to cry and nod. No words came out.

"I love you Josh,"

"I love you too Tyler."
