(a/n before the story, maybe you should know in this story the age differences between the Josephs isn't really the right one, since I made Ty and Maddy around the same age and I just thought like, I can change it becaause it's just a story... :) anyways, enjoy reading woo)

The clouds were slowly getting pink as I stared at them. The sun decided to leave my eyesight and in what seemed a fraction of time everything around me was dark and I was laying there in the grass, gazing at the stars.
The green grass felt soft underneath my bare skin. It slightly tickled. A single bird made a noise and suddenly everything around me seemed quiet. I guess others would've called it that, quiet. But not me. No. That would be a lie. Its everything except for quiet.
No one ever seemed to pay attention to them though. You know, the little things in life. Why can't they hear them? Why can't they see it?
I see it. It's the most bright thing in my life. Everything around has it's own sense. The flowing of the river. The crisping of the grass. The trees when the wind blows softly against them. Leaves shivering. The crickets making soft noises in the bushes.
I sit up. What is real? I don't have a single idea of what is real in this world. No one does. But they simply don't think about that. They don't seem to understand. They probably don't. Everything appears to be about work, money, happiness, family, love, succes. But is it? What is life really about?

I entered the house without making too much sound. When I walked up the steps I heard my mom: " Tyler? Is that you?" I didn't tell my mom I was out. She was probably worried. "Yes it's me mom, don't worry I'm perfectly fine!" I shouted back and continued my way upstairs. I walked into my room where I find my brother sitting onto my bed. "Where were you?" He asks. There's something in his voice that has been there for the past few months. Concern. And he sounds a little mad too. "I- I was just outside, Zack, don't- don't worry about it too, too much." I don't know why I struggled so much with that sentence. "Sure. You know, you don't seem really present these days, what's going on with you man?" He looks serious. My brother showed actual interest in me. We have always been the best of friends, but I've been distant from everyone lately. "It's nothing." I smiled at him. " I should go to sleep now, it's pretty late." The second later Zack had left my room and I was all alone. My head couldn't function properly and my mind worked on full energy. Quiet wasn't peaceful like most say. It was violent. Quiet screams into my head until I'm driven insane. I would drown in my thoughts until I finally sank into the darkness of sleep.
-- the next day--
(Jenna's pov)
I hit the snooze button as I sighed. Another boring school day. Everything was the same every single day. I get up, pick my clothes, eat something, go to school, get back home, do my homework, eat something, help mom with the dishes, read a book and finally try to sleep, but fail at it. I sigh at the thought of it. Another boring day. I grab my clothes and get dressed. I run downstairs and grab some cereal. "So honey, today I'm taking you to the supermarket because I think you could use some interaction with humans." My mom looked serious. "Eh?" Was all I could say. " Oh come on honey, I haven't seen any of your friends at our place lately. I start to wonder if you even have them. But I know you do." Sigh. Here we go again. If only she'd know the truth. " No mom, actually I don't have any friends, they basically left me last year for the popular cool kids. Now they all bully me, isn't that great?" Is what I wanted to say, because it's the truth. But I'd get nothing out of it so I just say : "Okay I'll go with you." And I leave for school.

When school is over I walk back home. I don't see the point of going to a supermarket, but it makes my mom happy so I'll just go. When I get home she grabs the keys and we drive to the supermarket. When we get here she asks me to get a few things. I get them and when I come back I find my mom, who bumped into some girl, with all her stuff on the floor. They're both picking it all up and the girl just keeps apologizing. I decide to help them picking it all up and when we're done I get to look at the girls
face. She looks like a sweet kind of person with fear in her eyes.I immediately felt sorry for her as I saidnsensed how uncomfortable she was. Like, she was at the verge of crying. " Hey, it's okay, they're just groceries." I smiled at her. She nods. "Thanks" and she gave me the littlest smile, looking rather confused. I think I found a person who's just as akward in social situations as I am. And that is pretty rare. " I'm really sorry I bumped into you ma'am. I will pay for all the things that broke." She looked serious. " Oh no , it's okay." My mom said. She's very polite. I wish I was like that. "Are-are you sure?" The girl stuttered. "Is there nothing I can do?" She asked. My mom stayed silent for a long time. At first I saw she wanted to say like "No, it's fine, go home now." But something in her expression changed. All of a sudden she asked: "How old are you?" The girl looked confused by her question, and to be honest, I was too. After a while she answered. "I am nineteen, ma'am." "Perfect. Don't think I'm weird or anything, but could you just take my daughter out to do something fun, like just as friends? Please? It's really important to me." And there I was. My head must've been as red as a tomato as the girl was just staring at me with a confused frown
on her face. "Sure?" She answered in doubt. "Great!" What did she just do? No she didn't. Oh no. She just ruined my complete reputation. Or what was left of it. My mom walks away and leaves me standing akwardly in front of this girl. " I'm so sorry." I cover my face in my hands. " My mom thinks I'm problematic, because I never interact with people. " "It's eh.. It's fine I guess?" I nod. For a while there is this silence. "So.. Do you wanna go to my house? I don't really know any other place to go to.." Oh my god this is so weird. Please tell me I'm dreaming. Tell me this isn't happening. But it is. It's all real. Great. Just great. Thanks mom. I hope for you this girl isn't a total creep.
