WE RUN ❁ JOSHLER

Chapter 6

Tomorrow came, and it was a Saturday, meaning Josh would be over, but Tyler didn't want that. He wanted to spend all day trying to get to heaven.

But Tyler knew he needed to spend time with Josh. He had been neglecting him, and he knew Josh would be missing him.

Around one 'o clock, Josh arrived, just like he did every Saturday.

"Hey, Tyler!"

"Hi, Joshy."

"You don't sound too enthusiastic?"

"Oh, uh, I am, you just interrupted me while I was doing something."

"Oh, I'm sorry. I can let you get back to whatever it was."

"No, no, it's fine."

"Alright..."

The rest of the day was spent playing video games, and eating ridiculous amounts of food.

"Hey, Tyler, remember the other day when you were asking about heaven, and stuff?"

"Yeah?"

"You haven't tried anything, right?"

"No. I would never. I promised you, Joshy."

"Okay, Tyler. I just want to make sure you're not doing anything stupid."

There's been sad moments in Tyler's life, a lot, actually, but Tyler's constant smile has always had people believing he was fine.

And he was. He kept a constant smile so others didn't have to. He was perfectly content with sad things. They didn't seem to affect him.

Tyler thought maybe something was wrong with him because of this, but never really thought about it.

The two boys carried on with playing games until around seven 'o clock.

"I should be getting home before my parents start to worry."

"Yeah, you should."

"I'll see you Monday."

"Yeah, see you then."
