"Troye, do you think Tyler would forgive me?" I asked, wanting his opinion. He took a moment to think about it, then placed his arm on my shoulder.

"He better or else I will beat the sh-"

"Troye!" I interrupted him, and he laughs a little. I rolled my eyes at him and laughed as well.

"I'm joking, but really he better. I do not see why he wouldn't, you're a fun, nice, and hilarious person. I would straight up forgive you in .1 seconds," He complimented, making me smile widely. "Thanks Troye. I'm glad we met again, it's been years," I told him, pulling him into a hug.

"Of course, and you too. Also, it's 6 am. Time flies by quickly when you're talking about a boy or boys" He giggled, pulling away from the hug. I nodded, obviously agreeing.

We said our goodbyes, and I flopped down on my hospital bed. I grabbed my now cracked phone, and only to see 9 messages from The gays, 5 from Debby, 3 from Melanie, and Hayley. There was one more that I couldn't read because of this cracked screen. Part of me hoped it was Tyler, other part of me hoped it was just a random notification.

I opened the groupchat with Brendon and Ryan.

gayryro; we hope you're doing better jish. we really miss you. :(

I flinched at the name jish because Tyler used to call me that, and now it made me sad.

gaybeebo; Yeah, but I miss you more !!😭💗

gayryro; just stop with the emojis you gay forehead

gaybeebo; Make me, gay twig. 😐

gayryro; ily hoe

gaybeebo; okay i'll stop ilyt bitch

I chuckled a little because of how cute they are. I wonder if they considered dating again. God, I hope so. Ryden is my otp.

7:00 am.

I have 2 hours. Fuck, I should go to sleep. What if everyone visits agains and all they'll be seeing is watching me sleep? No, what if Tyler tells everyone what happened and then no one comes? Ugh, I'm thinking too deep into this. I should stop.. Tyler wouldn't do that, I've known him for like my whole life. Just by thinking about this I suddenly fell asleep.

|| Tyler's pov ||

"B-brendon, I.. I can e-expl-"

"It's cause of the kiss wasn't it," He interrupted. I quickly looked up at him with wide eyes, wondering how he knew. He just stared at me with a straight face.

"H-, What kiss? I have no idea what you're on about," I gasped. He let go of my wrist, crossing his arms and arched his eyebrow.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about. Josh told me, so don't try to hide it Tyler" He responded.

I sighed in defeat, knowing that there was no way out of this. "Fine.. Yes, it is. Are you happy now?" I confessed. All he did was sigh, and looked at me in a sort of disappointed way.

"Ty, I'm not saying he doesn't like you or that I'm blaming you for it cause believe me, I would've freaked out like that too. Anyways, you really did hurt him, not only him, but you too. I know you probably didn't mean any of whatever you said to him, but I think you should just talk to him. He's your, um, best friend." I saw the way he hesitated to think of a word.

I sort of flinched at "Best friend," I wanted to be more than that with Josh. Wait, no I don't.. I have a wife, Jenna. I love HER in that way, and NOT Josh. Get it together Tyler!

"Do you seriously believe this guy, Tyler?" Blurry said.

"Of course I do, he's my friend. Why wouldn't I believe him?" I told Blurry.

"He just wants Josh to feel better, he doesn't care about you. All he wants is for Josh to be happy again and take him from you. Who would want a worthless piece of crap like you to be their friend?" He shouted.

He was right, who would want me to be their friend? Brendon snapped his fingers in front of me trying to get my attention.

"Tyler, helloooo? Anyone there?" He said. I snapped back into reality, and blushed from embarrassment. I heard he chuckling a little.

"It's not funny, Bren. If you weren't taller, you'd be squashed right now," I grumbled. He just smiled and threw his hands up in the air.

"Wow, I am so scared. Ty is gonna squash me. Oh no!! Run for your lives everyone!" He shouted sarcastically. "Ha ha, very funny Bren," I mocked.

"Thanks. I'm a professional comedian, I know." I stuck my tongue out at him like a child. He did the same.

"Can we go get something to eat? I'm really hungry," Bren whined. God, he is such a child.

"You're such a baby, did you not eat breakfast this morning?" I asked.

"No, I woke up at Ryan's house for some reason, we were lying on a bed, I panicked and grab my shit, then left." I wasn't surprised that he was there, honestly. They're always hanging out now, but I don't think they're dating.

"Fine, let's go. Taco bell is where we're going and dont argue about it," I told him, grabbing his car keys.

||

As soon as I walked into Taco bell, I overheard a conversation on the table next to us. I tried my best to ignore it, but I couldn't.

"Josh is still on the hospital, but maybe when he's able to go home, should I take him somewhere?" I heard one of the boys with an Australian accent speak. The boy in front of him had an British accent.

"That's a great idea, I did that with Phil last time. I'm glad he said yes," He said.

"I'll be going to the bathroom, be right back," I told Bren. I walked over to that table, and did something I never thought I would.

"Josh isn't single at all. He's taken. In fact the person he's dating is me."
