•Trigger warning•
//Josh\\
He watched his phone ring. Once, twice, it just kept on ringing. Whoever it was wouldn't give up. He finally decided to check who it was. Brendon. No surprise there. He kept ignoring it, but after a while it started to bug him. He turned his phone off and walked outside.
The streets were empty, except for him. He was the only one outside. The wind made an eerie sound that made Josh shiver. He looked at the trees as they blew back and forth.
Something was telling him to go back home, but he didn't want to. What was the point being home? All he ever did was watch TV, use his phone or sleep. If he couldn't do any of that, he would just be sitting there, alone with his thoughts.
He suddenly realized he was in the middle of the road. There were no cars anywhere in sight so why move out of the way.
         There was something about all of this that felt...off. All of a sudden he didn't feel like he was being lied to. He suddenly had a feeling Tyler actually wanted him to go, and him being foolish might have made Tyler think Josh didn't want to see him. He then stopped, out of nowhere, mid road, for no good reason. He felt paralyzed. Like something was stopping him from moving.
         He couldn't move at all. He could hear something from behind him. Something...a car. It was driving quickly towards him. A bit too quick. Josh hoped the driver noticed him and stopped. Then he was free. He could move again. He quickly jumped to the side, not quick enough. He felt a sting all across his body. The last thing he remembered was hearing the car stop and a guy screaming his name. A familiar voice. Then it all disappeared.
