(I'm sorry if this is going to fast, I just realized this is only day 3 LMAO)
The next few days were quiet.
For Tyler's demons,
For Josh's.
It was strange, both knew the other had problems, yet neither felt the urge to talk about it.
Why?
They weren't sure.
Josh feels guilty. He feels as if he's been lying to Tyler. Technically, he hasn't, but sometimes not telling someone something is just as bad.
Josh knew there was something he had to tell Tyler.
How?

Do you ever plan conversations in your head? They go perfectly, huh? Yet, you always realize that you have no idea to start them.
"You know what I mean?" Josh said to Tyler, after explaining this thought.
"Yeah, I think we all do that. It's something with our human nature. We tend to skip ahead to the outcome before taking the time to figure out where to begin."
Josh was silent. The two boys, once again, stared out at the rushing river.
"Tyler..." Josh said, already sounding exhausted. "I...I need to tell you something."
Tyler arched an eyebrow, pretending to act casual. Still, his heart started to pound in his chest. "What?"
"I... I'm sorry. I'm sorry for... for lying."
Tyler grinned worriedly, "Jishwa, when have you ever lied to me?"
"When I told you I was okay."
