Fall Away: Joshler

You Are Lovely

(Josh's pov)

I helped Tyler out of my car and we walked into my house. Tonight was our sleepover because we said that we'd do it during the weekend. Tyler looked back at me.

"You can go ahead in." I told him. "My parents won't mind."

Tyler smiled slightly and proceeded to walk into my house.

I got my car keys and Tyler's bag and walked into my house. Tyler was sitting on the couch. He looked a bit cold.

"Do you need a blanket?" I asked him.

Tyler looked up at me slightly.

"That would be nice."

I went to the hallway closet and got a black and red blanket. We both loved the colors red and black. I wrapped it around Tyler. He smiled.

"Because of that, I feel better." He said.

"I'm glad." I told him. "You definitely look lovely."

Tyler smiled.

"Remember when we wrote a song called Lovely?" He asked me.

My face lit up because I haven't played that song on the drums for a long time.

"You wanna?" I asked.

Tyler smiled and stood up quick but fell back on the chair. I put my arm around him.

"Take it easy." I said. "We can do it later."

"No no." Tyler said while trying to relax. "We can do it. And I think I have my ukulele with me."

(Tyler's pov)

I got into my bags and got my ukulele out. Josh grinned when he saw it. We both went into Josh's basement. Josh was already seated at his drums with his very old drumsticks while I sat next to him on the stool with my ukulele. I turned to him.

"You ready?"

Josh nodded with a smile. Josh began to play his drums while I strummed the ukulele.

You say things with your mouth
Cobwebs and flies come out
I hear a second voice behind your mouth somehow
Luckily I can ready your mind
Flies and cobwebs unwind
They will not take you down
They will not cast you out

Dear friend, here we are again pretending
To understand how you think your world is ending
Sending signals and red flags in waves
It's hard to tell the difference between blood and water these days
I'll pray that one day you see
The only difference between life and dying
Is one trying, that's all we're called to do
So try to love me and I'll try to save you

Won't you stay alive
I'll take you on a ride
I will make you believe you are lovely

Won't you stay alive
I'll take you on a ride
I will make you believe you are lovely

Your redemption won't grow stale
We are now just setting sail
On the seas of what we fear
Treason now is growing near to me

I'm coming clean
God, hit me straight on

Won't you stay alive
I'll take you on a ride
I will make you believe you are lovely

Won't you stay alive
I'll take you on a ride
I will make you believe you are lovely

Don't be gone

you say things will your mouth
Cobwebs and flies come out

(Tyler's pov)

I started smiling at Josh because I loved how we did it. I was so happy.

"That was great!" I said.

Josh smiled.

"I know."

I ran to give him a hug but I stopped when I felt myself fluttering. Josh came to my side.

"Are you alright?"He asked me.

"Yeah I'm okay." I said. "I just need to rest."

"Right." Josh said.

I kept my ukulele on the stool and we both went upstairs to Josh's room. Sometimes we would snuggle or look at Instagram together. But this time, I was the one who felt tired.
Josh laid me down on his bed and he sat by my side.

"How are you feeling?" He asked me.

"Better now that I'm laying down." I told him. "Except I do feel like my heart is racing."

"Is that normal?" Josh asked.

"I don't know." I told him.

I didn't want to tell him about my illness.

"I just need to sleep." I told him.

"Okay." Josh said.

He leaned down and kissed me on the forehead.

"I'll be downstairs if you need me." He said before leaving.

I felt a bit weird when he kissed me but hey, he's my best friend.

(Josh's pov)

I walked out the bedroom to let Tyler sleep. I felt a bit embarrassed after I kissed him. I mean, he's my best friend and I love him.
I don't know if he loves me as a boyfriend but, I'll just have to keep on being by his side. I went downstairs to get his ukulele. The sight of us singing that song made me feel humble. It looked as if Tyler was okay.
I have never seen him feel so unwell ever in my life. I've always seen him well. But something happened. I don't know what happened. I shouldn't worry. My dear Tyler is sleeping on my bed and I'm taking care of the house. I'm sure he'll feel better in the morning.
Later at night, I climbed into bed with Tyler. I gave him a kiss on the cheek before going to sleep.
