Closed doors (joshler)

Twenty-seven

Tyler grabbed Josh's hand nervously. After skipping a couple of days of school, they decided it was time they went back. Tyler kept his head down as they walked through the hallways and josh pulled him closer. Brendon, Zack, and Patrick walked along side of them. Zack whispered to Tyler, "are you ok?" Tyler only nodded his head, continuing to stare at the ground. A lot of people were staring at them with disgust. Someone called out to them, sayings few slurs, but they ignored the person.

Tyler reached his class and he squeezed Josh's hand, "I'll see you at lunch."

Josh nodded, "ok."

Josh leaned in to kiss Tyler, but decided against it. He knew Tyler wouldn't be comfortable with it, considering most people at their school hated them at the moment for that reason. He hugged Tyler instead. Tyler hugged back hesitantly. There were a few scoffs and that only made him hug josh tighter. He didn't want to be alone in this class. "I love you," Josh's whispered in Tyler's ear.

Tyler couldn't help but smile and he whispered back, "I love you too, josh."

Josh pulled away and Tyler quickly walked into his class. He sat down in his normal spot, ignoring the stars. "Hey, faggot!" Someone called out. Tyler kept his head down and he pulled in the elevated of the hoodie he was wearing, which happens to be Josh's. "Faggot, I'm talking to you."

"He has a name, y'know. I'm pretty sure you know it, and I'm pretty sure you've addressed him with that name before. But now that he's different from you that name is useless? Pathetic."

Tyler lifted his head to see who had said they. Melanie Martinez. The guy who was calling for Tyler scoffed and quit calling for Tyler. Melanie met Tyler's stare and Tyler mouthed the words 'thank you'. Melanie smiled and winked in the friendly way, as if saying you're welcome. The teacher walked into the classroom and the lesson began.

¿?

Tyler was making his way towards the lunch room when he spotted Melanie. Tyler quickly jogged up to her and tapped her shoulder. She turned to face him and raised an eyebrow. Tyler scratched the back of his neck, "uh, thank you...for what you did in class."

Melanie chuckled, "it was nothing."

Tyler shrugged, "I know, but most people hate me at the moment."

Melanie shook her head, "then they were never your friends in the first place. I saw you walking down the hallway earlier. You had Patrick, Brendon, and your brother looking out for the two of you. Those are your friends. Not those assholes."

Tyler smiled, "I guess. Well, thank you, again."

Melanie gave him a one sided smile, "don't sweat it. Now shoo, josh is probably waiting for you."

Tyler blushed, "y-ya. See you around." Tyler let it a sigh and continued his way to the cafeteria. He met up with josh and the two made there way to the table. Tyler glanced at Josh's nervously, "what if they won't let us sit with them?"

Josh's shrugged, "then we'll find somewhere else to sit." They stopped in front of the table and they all looked at them.

Debby scoffed, "oh my god, you guys actually still think you have the right to sit here? Sorry, we don't allow freaks like you. I hear there's a table in hell for you."

Josh grabbed Tyler's arm, "let's go, Ty."

Tyler gulped, "I'm sorry." Josh looked at Tyler with confusion and so did the rest of the table did.

Dallon's eyebrows furrowed, "what?"

Tyler tried blinking the tears out of his eyes, but it didn't work. "Jenna, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have cheated on you. I-I should've been honest with you in the beginning...I shouldn't have lead you on." Jenna stared at Tyler with a straight face. Tyler gulped, "I-I don't expect you to accept my apology, but I just wanted you to know that I never meant to hurt you. Your my friend-"

Jenna cut him off and spat at him, "burn in hell, Tyler Jospeh. People like you don't have a place for the life god gave us."

Pete looked at Jenna with wide eyes, "Jenna, too far."

Jenna stood up and walked over to Tyler. She slapped him across the face, "don't ever speak to me again, faggot."

Josh began pulling Tyler away, tears streaming down Tyler's face. Patrick motioned for the two over to the table he was sitting at. Tyler quickly wiped his eyes and the two sat down. Brendon was also sitting at the table. Brendon's eyes widened, "what happened? Did she slap you?"

Tyler nodded, "I deserved it, though."

Josh shook his head, "don't say that."

Patrick quickly changed the subject, "Tyler, I want you to meet some of my friends. This is Lana."

Tyler smiled weakly at Lana and Lana smiled back. "Nice to meet you, Tyler."

Patrick then motioned to two the people, "and this is Dodie and Matthew."

Matthew grinned, "you can call me blackbear, though. It sounds more cool."

Dodie chuckled, "excuse him, he thinks he's some cool gangster kid." Matthew scoffed and stuck his tongue out. Tyler couldn't help the laugh that escaped his lips.

Brendon cooed, "there's that smile we love."

Tyler smiled a little, rolling his eyes at Brendon. Josh grabbed his hand and set it in his lap. Tyler stared at his trey, deciding he wasn't to hungry anymore. "I'll be back," he muttered.

Tyler stood up and grabbed his trey. He walked over to the trashcan and threw away the paper trey. He glanced over his shoulder to see Dallon and Pete walking towards the trash can. Tyler kept his head down, accidentally bumping shoulders with Pete. "S-sorry," he said quietly.

He flinched when Pete grabbed ahold of his arm. Pete stared at him with wide eyes, Tyler's eyes just as wide. Pete was about to speak, but Dallon interrupted before he could. "Pete, come on." Pete sighed before letting go of Tyler. Tyler hurried back to the table and sat down.

Josh raised an eyebrow, "what was that all about? He didn't say anything to you, right?" Tyler shook his head before resting it on Josh's shoulder.
