I sit down at the lunch table. Today's one of my really bad days. I've been constantly fighting Blurry off since I woke up this morning. It's a Friday though, so that's good. All I've been thinking about today is it. Blurry won't stop reminding me. Describing it over and over again. Bringing flashbacks. Telling me every thing that's wrong with me. He has not stopped talking once.

It's been about 2 weeks since I told Josh what's going on. We've still been hanging out and I haven't really been switching around that much either. He sits down in front of me.

"What's wrong Ty? You look tired." His voice is full of concern.

"Just having a bad day. It's fine though." I say.

"Do you wanna talk about it? That usually helps me when I'm having a bad day." He suggests.

I sigh, biting out of my gross ass sandwich. "Been fighting off Blurry nonstop all day. He won't shut the fuck up." I rub my temples before opening my water bottle. "I'm afraid he'll do something if I give up. My dads not gonna be home tonight either, which means I can't go home or Blurry will do something. I'm just tired and stressed is all." I sip down some water.

"You could come over tonight. I don't care if you let Blurry out. I can help you handle him. I wouldn't mind." Josh suggests.

"Are you sure you wanna do that? He might try to hurt you, he really hates you." I counter his offer.

"I really wouldn't mind. Why does he hate me?" He asks. I sigh.

"Because you're the only thing that makes me happy anymore. He wants to get rid of you, even though everyone else argues against him. My heads a mess today." I mumble. Josh blushed when I said he makes me happy.

"I'm glad I make you happy, but I'm sorry I'm making things worse. Is there anything I can do?" I love the way he talks to me like he actually cares.

He doesn't care Tyler. No one cares. You might as well run away again. It'd be for the best. You don't deserve Josh. He's too good to you. You were a fucking sex slave. That's all you're good for. You don't deserve kindness. Just kill yourself already.

"Don't do it Tyler." Whispers says. "Let me take over, I'll help." I let him take control.

Poor Tyler. I get annoyed with Blurryface, I can't imagine how bad it is for Tyler to have to constantly try to ignore him. Usually I can just ignore him since none of his comments are directed towards me.

"Blurry really hates you." I whisper (as always) to Josh. "But Tyler really doesn't want to get rid of you just because of Blurry."

"If you don't mind me asking, who am I talking to right now? Are you whisperer?" He asks. I nod in response. "What's going on in Tyler's head right now?"

"Can I talk to him? I love talking to Josh!" Ruby chirps.

"Ruby wants to talk to you." I say timidly.

"Hi." I grin sheepishly. He smiles back at me before drinking some Pepsi.

"I'll give you all the drama." I giggle. He nods. "Ok so basically, Tyler really likes being around you. He sucks at socializing, so he's like never had friends cause everyone thinks he's weird. You're like one of the first people to ever be nice to him. Don't say anything about it, but Blurry is constantly telling Tyler every thing he's done wrong and how much of a terrible person Tyler is. Tyler believes it all, no matter how much we tell him otherwise. Blurryface told Tyler that he doesn't deserve you, and Tyler completely believes that and it hurts me to watch that. Remember that one day when you kept complimenting Tyler? Well that was when Blurryface was saying some really bad things and it overwhelmed Tyler because all of us were talking at once about different things. Anyways, all day today Blurrys been nonstop talking about how terrible Tyler is. We've all been saying the complete opposite- except for misty, he's kinda in the middle- but Tyler doesn't believe us and I can't do anything else about it. He needs to let Blurry take over, but he knows what Blurry wants to do and it's not anything good. It just really sucks that none of us can do anything about it, Tyler's gotta do it on his own." I know I was talking 75 words a second, but I had so much to say all at once that I couldn't help it.

"Wow. Wait, so Blurryface is telling Tyler bad things about him, Tyler can't keep Blurry away much longer, and something bads gonna happen?" He concludes. I nod. "Ok. What can I do about it?" He asks.

"Just talk to Tyler. I don't really know if you'll want Blurry around tonight, but it's up to you. Blurrys gonna try to do something to make you hate Tyler, since Tyler refuses to do it himself. Also, don't underestimate Blurry. He'll get what he wants, no matter what you do to try and stop him. Also, I think I'm gonna stay around for a while so Tyler doesn't have to handle things right now." I smile.

"Ok. I think I'll let Tyler come over tonight. So whatever blurry says or does is just to make me mad, right?" I nod, fluttering my eyelashes a bit.

I could listen to Josh talk all day. Not to mention, I could look at him all day.

"You know you're really cute?" I say without warning. Pink dusts his cheeks.

"Th-thanks?" I obviously caught him off guard.

"Anytime Joshy." I hum. I'm glad I made him blush.

I wonder if he likes me back? Or if he at least likes Tyler back.
