Fantasy Becomes Reality- A Joshler Fanfic (COMPLETED)

Chapter Twenty-Two

🌺Tyler🌺

Josh and I sit down at the dinner table, along with Mr. and Mrs. Dun.

"I made your favorite, Josh." She says and we both look down. Tacos!

"Yes! Thanks mom!" I smile and Josh grabs my hand underneath the table. It surprises me, because he usually doesn't do those kinds of things if his dad is present.

I can't help but feel giddy.

"So, anything new with you boys?" Mrs. Dun asks as we begin making our tacos. Beef, cheese, lettuce and no tomatoes for me!

Josh clears his throat, and we both grin.
"Actually, yeah. Something pretty exciting happened just today." I speak up.

I was getting used to being around the Dun family; I might as well get this shy thing out of my system.

"And what would that be?" Mr. Dun asks. He takes a bite of his taco, and it makes a loud crunching noise.

"Well, as you know we performed in the talent show this morning, and we won. Not only that, but a well-known music producer came up to us." I pause. ".....and he offered Josh and I a record deal."

Everyone goes silent, and then in a split second, everyone is squealing and smiling and hugging.

"Oh my gosh! That's amazing!!!!" Josh's parents hug him, and a weird feeling overtakes my stomach.

I don't know if its jealousy or what....

Then, they come over and wrap me in a hug. I can't help but being genuinely surprised.

"We love you too, Tyler." They say, and for once in a very long time, I feel at home.

-

"That was really nice of your parents..." I say. Josh and I are now back at the playground, swinging on the swings.

I don't think I've ever seen the park this empty before....

"Yeah, well you've become their son. They love you, Ty." He intertwines our fingers, which sends sparks all throughout my body.

God, I love him.

I don't know what to say back, so I lay my head on Josh's shoulder.

"You make me feel like I'm living in a dream." Josh says, and it makes my heart skip a beat.

I giggle like a little boy, and then my phone buzzes.

I quickly take it out, and an unknown number appears on my screen.

"Hey, Tyler! It's Christian. I was just calling to let you boys know that I need your answer by sundown. I have a lot of new people who want to sign with me..."

I already knew the answer to that question.
"Yes, of course. We accept your offer. Thank you, sir." I say confidently.

"Now its official...." i say and place my phone faced down on the table.

Everyone at the table cheers and we celebrate in taco matrimony.

About three hours later, inspiration strikes and I'm in a writing mood.

I jot down the words that come to mind; the ink spills onto the page.

"Night falls, with gravity

The earth turns, from sanity

Taking my only friend I know,

He lives a lie, his name is Hope

I'm never what I like

I'm double-sided

And I just can't hide

I kinda like it

When I make you cry

"Cause I'm twisted up, I'm twisted up, inside

The horrors of the night melt away

Under the warm glow of survival of the day

Then we move on, my shadow grows taller along with my fears

And my friends shrink smaller as night grows near

When the sun is coming, window soothes

And the silver lining rides the hills

I will be saved for one whole day

Until the sun make the hills its grave

I'm never what I like

I'm double-sided

And I just can't hide

I kinda like it

When I make you cry

'Cause I'm twisted up, I'm twisted up, inside

I'm never what I like

I'm double-sided

And I just can't hide

I kinda like it

When I make you cry

'Cause I'm twisted up, I'm twisted up, inside my mind

Do do do do

Do do do do

Do do do do

Do do do do

Do do do do

Do do do do

Do do do do

Do do do do

I'm semi-automatic,

My prayers schizophrenic

But I'll live on, yeah I'll live on, yeah I'll live on

I'm semi-automatic,

My prayers schizophrenic

But I'll live on, yeah I'll live on, yeah I'll live on yeah yeah

I'm semi-automatic,

My prayers schizophrenic

But I'll live on, yeah I'll live on, yeah I'll live on

I'm semi-automatic,

My prayers schizophrenic

But I'll live on, yeah I'll live on, yeah I'll live on

By the time the night wears off, the dust is down

And shadows burn

I will rise and stand my ground,

Waiting for the night's return...."

I smile satisfied, and I close my book.

I glance over and I see Josh asleep on the bed next to me.

So cute.

I kiss his head and tuck him in before checking our channel stats.

We have way over 4,000 views and likes!!!!

I do a silent victory dance, careful not to wake Josh.
