so my eyes opened and josh was above me. I fainted. "how you feeling?"
"tired" I mutter.
"here" he helped me sit up and gave me a glass of water and a cookie.
"you need anything?" he asks kindly.
"a hug" I blinked. so that's what he gave me and I cried. "I'm sorry"
"don't be sorry. you haven't done anything wrong" he said kindly.
"why are you so nice to me?"
"because your a beautiful girl who deserves way better" he wiped my tears with his thumbs and caresses my cheeks. "I like it when you do that" I whisper. "I'll do it more then" he says.

brendon was in deep shit at school. he got only a fight with some kid who was putting down LGBT+. and well... he's been suspended for a week. he came over to josh's. and hung with us. he kept asking if i was okay and he kept apologising and asking if I needed anything. this boy is too sweet.

"I feel bad" I say out of nowhere.
"tylers alone" I say. "nah. he's probably with patrick and pete. or hayley" josh says. "I feel bad" I repeat. "don't girl! he understands" brendon assured me. I shrugged and ran a hand through my hair. josh was staring. "noticing my ugliness?" I asked him. "don't say that! your the most beautiful girl in the whole wide world and your cute"
"thanks" I say really quietly.

It was so awkward. till brendon got up. "I'm gonna put on a show" he says. he went on his phone and went on the app garage band. then he started playing some chords and singing

"Back to the street where we began
Feeling as good as lovers can, you know
Yeah we're feeling so good

Pickin' up things we shouldn't read
It looks like the end of history as we know
It's just the end of the world

Back to the street where we began
Feeling as good as love, you could, you can

Into a place where thoughts can bloom
Into a room where it's nine in the afternoon
And we know that it could be
And we know that it should
And you know that you feel it too
'Cause it's nine in the afternoon

And your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good
Just the way that we do
When it's nine in the afternoon

Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good

Back to the street
Down to our feet
Losing the feeling of feeling unique
Do you know what I mean?

Back to the place
Where we used to say
Man it feels good to feel this way
Now I know what I mean

Back to the street, back to the place,
Back to the room where it all began (hey)
Back to the room where it all began
'Cause it's nine in the afternoon

Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good
Just the way that we do
When it's nine in the afternoon

Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good
Just the way that we do
When it's nine in the afternoon

Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good
Just the way that we do
When it's nine in the afternoon"
me and josh clapped and cheered for him and he smiled gleefully. "let's get chipotle!" he exclaimed, throwing my over his shoulder and running.
"my hoodie!" I exclaimed.
"I got it!" josh ran after us and we all got into brendons car. josh put my navy blue hoodie on my scarred arms.
"I can do it myself" I say quietly.
"but I wanted to do it for you" he says.
I smile a bit and he laced our fingers together as brendon drove us to the nearest place that sold chipotle.
