A Contract

Sunday

Tyler's POV Three days later. Sunday.

" Josh?" I was still in bed. He wouldn't let me get up.

" Yeah Tyler?" 

" C-could you get me some... medicine?"

" What kind?"

" The pain kind. And the one to calm me down?"

" yeah. I'll be right back. I'm going to the store. STAY IN BED!" 

I heard him walk out the room.

Then out the door.

You're wrists are all clean.

What a shame.

It'd suck if they were cut again.

Or would it?

" SHUT UP!" I screamed.

I yelled.

I cried.

I HATE YOU!

Then I heard a knock on the door.

Back already?

Then the knocking was banging.

I don't think that's Josh.

Me either.

" OPEN UP YOU SCREW UP!"

It was Brendon.

Oh god.

Oh goodie, maybe he'll kill you this time.

Then the door slammed open.

I jumped out of bed and under it.

" Tyler... I know you're here."

Crap. No he doesn't.

" I've been watching Tyler. I've been waiting until you were alone."

SHOOT!

Oooo. This seems like fun.

My lip is bleeding.

I was unintentionally biting it.

I see Brendon's shoes as he walked in the room.

" Ohhh. There you are!"

He grabbed my by the arms and dragged me out.

" NO!" I yelped in pain.

" So. You're still with Josh huh?"

" Y-yeah?"

" Good for you!" He smiled.

Wait what?

I smiled.

" Thank you?"

" My pleasure."

Suddenly his smiled turned evil.

He socked me in the stomach.

"God you don't get it do you?"

I fell to the ground in pain.

He kicked me in the face.

"I hate you Tyler."

He kicked me again in the chest.

" You took my friend."

Once more.

" You took my girl."

Again.

" STOP!" I yelled.

" You took my crush too. Sarah. I mean I have her now but boy didn't she want you!"

He kicked again.

I yelled out in pain.

" SHUT UP! YOU ARE PATHETIC!"

I sobbed.

He's right Tyler.

" Take your pain like a man!"

I waited until he was done.

" But you aren't a man are you?"

He bent down.

" Men don't date men." He whispered.

I had to. I had to tell him.

It'd kill you.

I know, but then Josh would be alive and happy without me.

Then say it. Death welcomes you.

" I won't date him then"

He grabbed me by the shirt and lifted me to his face.

" You won't?"

" No."

" Then what will you do. You'll still be gay. We both know that."

I gritted my teeth and got really close to his face.

" I'll marry him."

His face turned evil.

" You little shi-"

" STOP IT BRENDON! PUT IT HIM DOWN OR PREPARE TO DIE."

Brendon turned slowly.

" Sorry I always wanted to say that." Josh said with a sly smile.

" Okay."

Suddenly I saw sliver.

I felt a pain in my chest.

" TYLER!"

" BYE JOSH!"

I dropped.

" TYLER PLEASE!"

Thank god it's Friday.

Cuz fridays will always

Be better than sundays.

Cuz sundays are my suicide days.

I'm dead?

Not yet but soon Tyler.

Will Josh be happy?

When you're dead.

Oh...

Huh. Sundays.
