Scrapped Endings

hi. it's me. so, basically, you know how i chose the 'it's all a dream' sissy ending, correct? well, i had actually had two other ending written down, but i decided on that one. the first is optimistic, and makes everything seem like a perfect cliche ending, and the other one is dark, and i cried a little bit when i was first coming up with the ideas. i'm going to post them both down below, so you can see what they were. they both start right after josh wakes up in the dream version that i picked.

#1
he pointed the knife to his throat, and before brendon could react, which he would have done if he could, josh said one last statement. "tell pete wentz that i used to love him." the knife came down on him as fast as josh could make it.

he woke up staring at a white ceiling, hearing footprints coming near him. oh shit, i'm at the hospital, he thought, and groaned. after he made the noise, the footprints stopped, then sped up again. josh noticed he didn't have any wires attached, he was just laying on a satin bed. using his elbows, he propped himself up, and looked straight ahead. a familiar figure ran towards him, and tyler said, " you idiot! the instructions never said to die! i love you so much." before crashing his lips onto josh's. they both unconsciously smiled.

see? pretty nice, right? josh dies, he goes to nirvana, and reunites with tyler. pretty sweet. it just occurred to me that i should had made a fourth ending of josh being a figment of ty's imagination and copied the forest fic. wasted opportunities, clare. wasted opportunities.

he woke coughing. smoke. his eyes were already aching from being awake for three seconds, and as he squinted them open, he saw fields of fire consuming the Earth. in his head, he could hear tyler, but his voice was crackling like a flame and demonic.
i'm so sorry josh, i tried to save us. we're stuck here.

an image ran across josh quickly, but he knew what he saw. tyler was in the opposite of were he was, a snowed in tundra, naked and blue from the lack of heat. and his mouth was sewn shut. josh tried to scream in terror, but he realized the same applied to him. at the other sides of hell, the two started to weep in unison.

okay, that's about it. they're short, because they're conclusions. i'm posting this now and not updating everybody has problems because these were written out and easy to access, while the other is a work in progress. okay. this will probably be one of the last things updated on this story.
