Tyler woke in the familiar bed he once knew, the space theme now an uncomfortable reminder of the past. He felt like this had all happened before.
His throat was dry and sore and he felt emotionally exhausted and wondered why. Josh. Josh happened. He felt his heart almost explode with sadness, his breathing hitching as if it was a horrible effort to breathe. He had to try so hard just to bother, just to stay alive.
Stumbling out of his room, he ran downstairs and saw his mom, dad, sister and remaining brother at the table.
'W.. what has happened? Why am i here i don't wanna be here i hate this place get me out get me out now..'
His mom stood up and began to walk slowly towards him, and his eyes burned with hatred. She was a murderer. 'Everything was a dream honey, so no point telling every one about that silly dream where I shot Josh. Just a dream,' She said quickly, holding out her arms.
For the first time, Tyler rebelled. He gathered the remaining spit in his sore mouth and spat on her. 'HAVENT YOU FUCKING TAKEN ENOUGH FROM ME??'
She looked at him, shaking her head. 'Oh Tyler...'
'YOU MONSTER' he screamed, tears dropping onto the floor.
'YOU FUCKING MURDERER'
'YOU WILL NEVER KNOW ME. YOU DON'T KNOW WHATS UNDER MY HAIR OR BEHIND MY SKULL OR IN MY VEINS. AND YOU WILL NEVER KNOW. SO SAY GOODBYE MOM.'
He ran outside, pushing chairs out the way and throwing his whole weight against the front door so that it flew open. Fuming, he turned around one more time. 'SAY GOODBYE! SAY IT, BECAUSE THIS IS THE ONLY CHANCE YOU WILL GET!' all the family stayed silent. Zach and Madison's eyes were shiny with tears, but his parents stood emotionless and still.
And with that He ran, hopping into his bike and wheeling away faster than he had ever gone in his whole life.
