Tyler left home to go to stage setup; with josh, to prepare for the gig they were performing at that night. On his way, he couldnt listen to music because "somebody had stolen his car radio and he just sat in silence!" Instead, he hummed a tune to himself, to pass time. When he arrived at the arena, Josh flew out of the door, darted towards Tyler and clambered on him; glee and happiness radiating from his screams. Tyler giggled and insisted on Josh calming down. After his moments of joy, Josh cooled off and shared his news with Tyler. "I've got a girlfriend, i've got a girlfriend!", he exclaimed!
Shocked, Tyler managed to gurgle some words together. The words that Tyler spat out, "(Oh, wow, cool, awesome bro)", confused Josh, a little. "What's her name then, loverboy?", teased Tyler. "Aah, Debbie. Debbie Ryan", replied Josh. A sudden surprised feeling was expressed upon Tylers face. "Wait, Debbie Ryan the actress?", he questioned. "Mmm-hmm", Josh retorted. "Ooh, wicked", Tyler sarcastically answered.
Although Tyler smiled and showed he was happy for them, he was worried about what may occur. Tyler thought - seeing as Josh had a new girlfriend, he woldn't be able to rehearse enough or spend any time with him anymore. Niggling at his brain, these thoughts played on his mind like a record on repeat. Jealousy was starting to ravish his mind like a "suicidal crazed lion". Losing his best friend would destroy his mind completely; as it's deteriorating enough already.
A few months passed, and Tylers concerns had slowly started to evolve. Josh had been spending more time with his new girlfriend, going on dates and romantic evenings, and not enough rehearsals had been attended. This started to worry Tyler because he was afraid of the occurence to come. He was concerned about the same thing happening again that did last year.~ Josh was in a relationship for about 5 months and seemed to ignore Tyler for the entire time. After splitting, Josh ended up apologising for his mistakes, leaving Tyler apprehensive for future partnerships.~ Because of the jealousy and pain, the dragon roared inside him with anger and hurt bellowing out from the depths of his stomach. Also, the nervousness of reinactments of the past was surging over his body, suffocating the thoughts that his mind made.
Not being able to think straight, fingerprints were attatching themselves to the blade. His wrists were glaring at him; urging him to tear his veins open like a birthday present, with a rush of feelings pouring over his body. Hurting himself, because he gets excited when he sees his blood and he knows he has punished himself. Sitting on the cold hard floor, by the "kitchen sink", Tyler screamed at his demons at the bottom of his hands, "go away, leave me alone!" Meanwhile, as all this has been happening, Josh had been waiting patiently for 20 minutes at rehearsal, for the first time in 3 weeks. Running through his thoughts, he was going over valid excuses as to why he hadn't been turning up to the trials of their new gig.
30 minutes had passed, and still no sign of Tyler. Josh was starting to worry, as Tyler had never missed a rehearsal! Deciding to search for him, Josh let the staff know and he drove away. Arriving at Tylers house, there was no visual of any movement inside. He knocked on the door. Nothing. He knocked again. Nothing. Twisting the door handle, he was taken aback when the door opened. Checking all rooms of the bottom half of the house, he comes across Tyler in the kitchen. With blank expressions on his face, his eyes were set on the cold weaponary touching the warmth of his skin, that was about to murder the tubes that carried his poisoned blood. "Friend please, don't take your life away from me", cried Josh. No reaction. Tyler was applying a little more pressure by the second.
Josh dived towards Tyler and snatched the blade from him; with great risk of cutting himself. Because of the risk taken, Josh had blood oozing out of the gash that had just been slit. Tyler snapped out of his gorm, jumped to his feet and forced Josh's hand under the tap water. Cleansing the cut, clean, fresh water was flowing in, bloody liquids dripping out.
With an injured hand, wrapped in bandages, drumming wasn't an easy option for Josh. However, instead of cancelling their concert, they discovered a different way for josh to perform. "I shouldnt perform with you tonight, "i'm insignificant", Josh stated. "Well, you are, we'll just simplify the beats, don't worry", replied Tyler. "Why?", questioned Josh. "Because you aren't missing out on toni-". "No, not that, why? What was you doing earlier on?"doubted Josh. Nothing. A worried, confused Josh leaves the questioning of the event until after the show...
