New Beginnings | Joshler

Chapter 1

Josh's P.O.V
-------------------
The crowd screaming. The lights shining and shooting in all directions. I could see Tyler pressing the piano keys forcefully yet gently. I noticed him focusing on every gesture, every note. I too, was putting in all effort into the beat. The way he put out our music was special, almost sacred, the way it could teach into the soul of a person was amazing.

"Tyler is so talented." I thought to myself, almost getting distracted from my rhythm.

I could feel the sweat dripping down my body more intensely as I thought about him. As I was drowning in my thoughts I started to loose track of the song. Time became nothing at that moment, yet it was also so much more. My thoughts started becoming heavier, to the point where I had to follow my reflexes to finish the song.

Finally the drum sticks bounced off for the last time, the last beat of the song, it was over. I could finally relax. I could see Tyler sigh with relief at the last note of the last song. I knew he loved doing concerts, we both did, but when it ends, it's somewhat peaceful. I took a glance away from my drums and into the crowd, there I could see happiness. My happiness. I loved seeing all of the people in the crowd and knowing that what we do, helps people, and that it is not a waste.

We walked off the stage and went into our dressing room.

"Great job out there," Tyler smirked brushing his hands through his thick dark hair. "Yea, you too," I smiled in response.

I could feel tension between us at this moment. It was weird because were always so close. I felt a drip of sweat fall from my forehead as I admired Tyler. He was tall and handsome, with gorgeous facial features that attracted me so much. At this moment, I didn't know what it was, maybe the adrenaline from the concert, but I felt different towards my best friend. It wasn't bad, but I didn't know if it was good either, for we were just friends, and nothing more at this point.

I frowned at the thought of all this. When we finally reached the dressing room, Tyler seemed to notice my sadness- I loved that about him, always so observative.

"You ok?" My best friend asked me. I nodded. "Everything's perfect." But it was a lie. I can never tell Tyler the truth though. It would ruin our friendship. It's best just to stay quiet and keep your emotions bottled up inside. At least that's what I thought.
