Rubik's Cube (Joshler)

CHAPTER 43: Party

Josh's POV ~ (this chapter is going to be longer then the others btw.)

I just stood in the hallway after Tyler walked through the doors. What the hell did I do? Todays been crazy so far. Tyler had multiple nightmares last night then he wouldn't eat this morning then that Debby chick kissed me and now Tyler's gone. Tyler hates me.

Lunch was almost over meaning swarms of kids are about to rush through the halls. I ran to the nearest bathroom and locked myself in a stall.
I just sat and cried.

Brendon found me halfway into the first class after lunch.
"Josh? Is that you in there?" he asked walking toward the stall I was in. I didn't reply. "Are you okay?" he questioned from the other side of the door. "No." I croaked.

"What happened?" he asked sounding concerned. "I don't want to talk about it." I said opening the door and walking past him to the sink to splash water on my face. "Omg Josh. You look wrecked man."

I looked up at him through the mirror. "Tyler's gone." I told him
"What do you mean he's gone?" he asked walking up and putting a hand on my shoulder. "He yelled at me and told me to leave him alone and not to bother him. He was really mad. I don't even know what I did."

"He broke up with you?!" he asked in a surprised tone. I nodded as new tears started to form. He pulled me into a hug and I broke. I haven't cried this hard in a long time. The only sounds in the bathroom were my loud sobs and struggled breaths.

"Let it out buddy." he said while rubbing my back. "It hurts Bren. I feel so bad. What did I do? I don't know what I did." I managed to get out between my sobs. "I don't know J.. I don't know."

"God." I cried. "What?" Brendon asked
"I'm just so mad. Not at Tyler at myself. I promised Tyler I wouldn't let anything hurt him but I ended up hurting him without even realising."
I paused to try to get enough air to fill my lungs but failed as another loud sob escaped my lips.

"What if he goes back to his parents house!? Bren He can't go back there!" I was feeling so many different things. I couldn't breathe I felt like I was being suffocated by my thoughts and emotions.

I was gripping Brendon's shirt so tightly my knuckles were white. "Why don't I take you home?" Brendon asked. "W-what about my siblings? I can't just leave them here without a way home."

"Do you want to go get them? I'll drive them too." he asked. I nodded.

I was still crying as we left the bathroom and while we walked around to my siblings classes. Once we had them all we walked out to Brendon's car and got in.

"Josh? Whats wrong? Wheres Tyler?" Jordan asked from the backseat where he and my sisters sat. I drew in a sharp breath trying not to scream and cry harder then I already was.
"He doesn't want to talk about it right now." Brendon said for me.

We pulled up in front of my house and I thanked Brendon. "Text me later and let me know how your doing okay? And text me if you need to get out of the house for a bit I'll come get you." Brendon said before I shut the car door. I nodded and he drove away.

I dragged myself into the house. I just wanted to collapse right now in the middle of the yard and just cry. I got in and started to head to my room, not bothering to take my shoes off. My mom stood at the end of the hallway with her arms crossed staring at me.

I ignored her and continued dragging myself to my room. She followed. I threw myself onto my bed face first and screamed into my pillow. I screamed until I needed to take a breath before I'd pass out from lack of oxygen.

At some point during my yelling my mom sat on the bed and rubbed my back. "Guys go upstairs." my mom said softly. My siblings probably heard my yelling and came down to see what was going on.
