{Chapter Nine}

{Chapter Nine|-/Tyler Joseph}

"I'm trying. I'm trying to sleep.." I sang into the mic.

No.

It's like all the air was drawn from my lungs. I couldn't breathe.

You can't do this.

I fell to my knees behind my piano, pulling the mask off my face and pulling my hair.

"Stop! Stop the music!" Josh yelled into the mic that was connected to his drum set. Only the crew and I could hear him and for that I was thankful. They cut the lights and screams erupted from the crowd. They weren't expecting that.

Mark came out on stage and dragged me to the side before they turned them back on, leaving Josh to deal with the fans alone.

You're just a pathetic little boy with big unrealistic dreams.

I screamed in frustration and clawed at my face.

Get out

I'm here to stay

"Get out!" I yelled out loud this time. I heard someone run towards me and pull me to them, pulling me farther from the stage. I was pulled to the ground and was wrapped in someone's arms.

Adeline began mumbling a song to me quietly and rubbed my back.

The voice began fading and I breathed out in relief.

"You okay Ty?" I didn't answer her. I stood up and pulled her into a hug.

"Please don't leave me alone Addy." I whispered. I knew she could feel the fear coming off my body.

"I'll be right here when you get off stage." She said as we made our way back towards the stage. I smiled at her and willed myself to join my best friend.

...

"Ty?"

I pulled my curtain open to reveal Adeline. As soon as we got back on the bus, I went straight to my bunk. I said nothing to anyone in fear of them questioning my little episode earlier.

"Come sit with me." She said and retreated to the music lounge. I sighed and followed slowly. I put my head in her lap and she immediately ran her fingers through my hair. I smiled up at her and sighed in relief when the voice faded into silence.

"Tyler.." I looked up at the girl above me and my heart fluttered. Just the way my name rolled off her tongue made my heart ache.

"Yes Adeline?" I said.

"Go to sleep." She said. I smiled at her demanding tone and closed me eyes.

After a few moments of silence I was finally being pulled into the darkness of sleep, until Addy started talking, thinking I was asleep I guess.

"Oh Tyler..you don't understand. I'm trying to like Josh..but I don't think I do." She said quietly.

"I wish you could understand how much I like you."
