Josh.

16

I walk inside and sit on Tylers couch.

"Can I get you anything, Joshie?"

"No thanks ty."

"You sure?"

"Yep"

"How about taco bell???"

"TACO BELL?"

"YES. LETS GO"

"I AGREE."
I yelp as i stand up. Tylers eyes quickly flicker to me and then back to my side.

"You alright?"

"Y-Yea."
He walks over to me and pulls me close, so he can help me walk. He helps me get out to the car. The sun is going down. Ha, i wonder what Laura did when she found out i wasn't there. He opens the door with his free hand and helps me get in. I sit down and he shuts the door. He walks over to the drivers side and sits down.

I still have another week of school so sorry for being inactive. I'm gonna try to update a few times a week. I just don't like this story and have like no motive for it so jebfnfnsmdmgns but I'm gonna try to keep working on it cause people have read it? So yes

"Buckled?"

"Yea"

"Okay."
He buckles himself up and starts to drive. I quickly reach for the radio to turn it up and he gently pushes my hand away.

"Hey. What was that for??"

"I have a cd in there. Once we stop I'll change it."

"Oooo. What CD?"

"Uh.. n-none of your business."
I blankly look at him and shrug.

"Why cant i listen to it? I wanna listen to ANYTHING at this point."

"Sorry Joshie. Maybe another day."

"Pleeeeeease!"

"Nope."
I roll my eyes and look to the window. He looks out his and i turn around. I smirk and quickly turn the volume up.

I feel for you, but when did you believe you were alone?
You say that spiders crawled inside and made themselves a home.
Where light once was..
Petrified of who you are, and who you have become-

Tyler gasps and turns it down.

"W-Was that you, Ty?"

"U-U-Um.. n-no."

"Then let me turn it back up "

"NO. CAN I JUST HAVE SOME PEACE AND QUIET? THESE PAST FEW DAYS HAVE BEEN LIKE HELL."

"o-oh."
He covers his mouth.

"S-Sorry josh."

"its ok"

"Look, we'll get taco bell and then I'll take you back to the hospital."

"ok"
We pull up to the drive-through.

"what do you want"

"not hungry"

"DAMN IT JOSH, EAT."

"WHATS GOT YOU SO TICKED?? EVERYTHING I DO MAKES YOU UPSET."

"J-JUST NEVERMIND. HURRY AND PICK."

"I ALREADY TOLD YOU. I. AM. NOT. HUNGRY!!!!!!"

"FUCK YOU."

"YOU WISH."

He smiles but quickly covers it. He turns to the window and sighs. He quickly starts to drive. The entire drive is silent.
After about 20 minutes, we finally pull up to the hospital.

"Josh it's dark. We need to hurry in."

"What's the rush?"

"I just dont need you getting hurt again."

"Ty-"

"Don't talk. I don't want you hurt."

Tylers pOv

I feel upset for no reason. I don't want to talk. I don't want HIM to talk. I just want silence. Reassurance. I want everything to be norma-well, okay again i guess. I look over at him and get out of the car. I walk over to his side and hear a gunshot. I feel so cold. It's all blurry. All over again. I don't know what's happening. I hear Josh but i can't move. I can't get up. I can't do anything, really. I feel cold. Tired. Like a toy without batteries.

I feel like so much has happened everyone is just like
"Oh here we go again" and is like sick of stuff happening but i need stuff to happen or idk so

RIP

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wake up in a cold, scary, basement. My shirt is gone, and I'm in my underwear. I have a bunch of scratches all over me. There's a dim light. But this place is familiar. I don't know if i should scream, or just stay quiet. Whos basement am i in??? I stand up and fall back down. My foot hurts like hell. But in the small amount of light, i can see bruises. Lots of them. Geez, what happened??

"I see you're awake."
That voice sends shivers down my spine. How could I forget??? I should have known. You can't just run away and be okay.

"d-dad I'm s-s-sorry"
He steps into the light. His shirt has a splotch of blood on it. Is it from me?? Who.. who is it from??

"Tyler, i warned you not to go running from me."

"Y-yes s-s-sir. I know."
I hear a voice come from up some stairs.

"Boss! Get up here."

"Okay. Mel, get down here and deal with him."
I hear a womans voice but i can't make out what she says. my 'dad' walks upstairs. He turns and winks at me, then continues walking.

A small woman comes out of the doorway. She slams the door.

"Tyler."

"W-who are you?"

"Melanie. Melanie Martinez. But just call me Mel."

"Well Mel, you should let me go."

"That I can't do."

"Aaaaand why not? We could be friends."

"Nah man"

"Wait. Where's Josh??? PLEASE TELL ME YOU DIDN'T HURT HIM."

"Ohh. Lover boy?? He's dead."
I instantly burst into tears.

"What??? NO. HE CAN'T BE."

"I know. I was joking. We beat him up a bit, but we let him live."

"He'll come for me.. i-i know it."

"Sorry boo, we warned him if he comes anywhere near you again we'll go for all of the others. Dylan, Brendon, Alec, and hm.. what was his name? Brandon?"

"oh sweet jesus"

"Mhm"

"So what do you want from me?????"

"Well doll, i think it's your dad."

"Never knew my dad would want me back!"

"Really?"

"Ever heard of sarcasm?"

"Oh. Right. Well i know for a fact he wants to beat you half to death, but i don't know exactly what else he wants."

"Fuck"

"Bad tyler. No swearing allowed."

"Okay hold on, let me be tortured and remain calm. While also being separated from the love of my life."

"Love of your life? Tyler, he's a murderer. We could turn him in and get millions."

"You won't, will you?"

"Not up to me."

Josh's POV

I wake up in my hospital bed, yet again. But my body hurts even more than it did before. I can't remember much. Dylan walks in.

"Hey man, where's Tyler?"

"Uh.. Josh.. Tyler is missing.."
