Tylers pov

  Tyler had his back against the wall and his head in his hands.   He slowly sunk to the ground trying to steady his breathing but she knew . 

Tylers lungs felt small and his throat dry. His small tears became sobs quickly  and his thoughts of trying to control his breathing went out the window. 

At this point Tyler was hugging his legs to his chest and had his head buried in his knees. He tried, tried anything to calm down, and stop crying so loud but his sobs continued. 

He heard footsteps approach and he froze 

knock knock

"Tyler?"

Tyler couldn't tell who it was 

"Tyler? Are you okay?"

 It's Mark

Tyler couldn't answer. Not because he didn't want to but because he couldn't. Tyler didn't have the strength to get up. Let alone talk to Mark. 

"Hey..Tyler I'm.. coming in okay?" 

No point  thought Tyler. Its locked

He could hear Mark jiggle the handle 

silence

"Tyler I'll be back in a bit I'm just going to go get the keys okay?"

When Mark returned and came in Tyler was a complete mess on the floor. His eyes were bloodshot and he had tears running down his cheeks. His hair was sticking up in several places and his whole body seemed caved in. 

"Oh shi- Tyler fu-"  

Mark rushed to his side,  tentatively putting his hand on his shoulder. 

"Okay  um Tyler, buddy can you breathe?" 

Tyler shook his head no 

"Okay in and out. Alright?" 

'In 1,2,3 out 1,2,3"  they repeated this severely times until the tenseness from Tyler's shoulders left and his body relaxed. 

Tyler let his knees fall to the floor away from his chest and let his arms fall to the floor. 

Marks hand rubbed up and down Tylers back. 

"You wanna talk about it?" 

Tyler shrugged

"Okay...Do you know what triggered it then?" 

Tylers hands made their way back to his lap. 

He fidgeted with his fingers. 

He shrugged once more  

"I don't know...guess em stressed" he mumbled his voice raspy from crying 

"You know Tyler you can talk to us anytime right? We are here for you, I don't want you to feel like we're pressuring you, or forcing you into anything"

Tyler nodded 

"If you ever feel this stressed just tell me okay?"

Tyler nodded again

"How about we go home okay? You need the rest, I'll drive." 

He opened his mouth to protest but was quickly shushed by Mark. 

"Its fine I was planning on going home soon anyway and no doubt your exhausted" 

Tyler stood up shakily and made his way out the door slowly and down the stairs.

He heard footsteps behind him but didn't bother to turn back thinking it was Mark following him to the car. 

"Hey Tyler!" said a cheery voice 

Tyler froze and he felt his heart stop
