wow, crazy an update!

3rd POV


The next morning, Tyler was back at work. 
He took a couple hours to get what was required done, occasionally stopping to help customers. 
Tyler walks over to Brendon and pulls him into his office. 
Brendon raises his eyebrows in confusion at Tyler. 
Tyler's emotions all flooded in at once, he falls forward into Brendon's arms and lets his tears flow. Brendon holds Tyler soft but firm and comforts him, occasionally kissing his head. 
Once Tyler calms down, they separate and look at each other. 
Tyler speaks first, "Josh told me I'm his soul mate." 
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you." 
"Don't apologize, you promised him you wouldn't tell me." 
They stand there in each other's arms a little longer. 
They both turn and go back to work. 

The door's bell jingles and Tyler turns to do his normal greet and sees Josh. He excitedly walks over to him and Josh's face lights up. 
"Hi!" Tyler says. 
"Hello there, handsome. What time do you get off today?" 
"5." 
"Okay, I get off at 7, would you like to go to the movies?" 
"Yeah!"
Josh kisses Tyler and waves to Brendon then walks back to his job. 
At 5, Tyler says bye to Brendon and walks home.

Tyler hits himself in the head, he can't have Blurry messing with him right now. 

Tyler's POV

Did you miss me?
"No" I mumble. I take the backwoods way home so no one is going to hear me anyways. 
Yes, you did. I helped you into an almost permanent peaceful sleep. 
"Leave me alone," I say, but louder this time. 
We're best friends, Tyler

I ignore him. 
I love you, Tyler. This time, he says it in a mock Josh voice, then all I can hear is laughter. 
I hit myself in the head, again, much harder this time. 
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" I yell as loud as I can possibly muster. 
He's silent. 
I run home. 
I get home and draw an "I love you." with a big heart around it on my forearm. 
I didn't want Josh to worry about me.
I get dressed in a nice blue button up and black jeans with red shoes. 
It was only about 5:30 so I work on some music.

When I finish, it's 7:15 and I clean everything up. 
Josh texts me that he's outside so I hurry to my driveway and join him in his car. 
He drives up to an ice cream/donut shop and parks close to the front doors. 

Are you really gonna eat today? 
I close my eyes hard, trying to push his voice away. All he wants is for me to hate myself. 

I hurry out of Josh's car and walk next to him as we enter the cute little shop. 
Once he orders for himself he turns to me and I tell him I only want an order of fries and a small vanilla ice cream. He furrows his eyebrows in confusion towards me but complies and places my small order for me. 
We sit down in a smaller booth and face each other and begin eating. 

He thinks you're fat, too
I cringe hard and decide to stop eating. I'm full enough anyways. 


3rd person POV

Tyler doesn't notice that Josh can see this change. 
"Ty.." Tyler looks up at him with dark, but sad, eyes and a forced smile. 
"Why are you not eating?" Josh says with a stern look on his face. 
"I ate before I came." Tyler tries to widen his smile. 
"Eat, babe. Your body is beautiful the way it is." 
Tyler reaches his hand out to eat. 

Don't do it, bitch

He jerks his hand back and places it on his lap. Tyler was terrified, Blurry has never cursed at him before. 
Tyler's frown was stuck on his face.
Josh was frozen and had no idea what to do. 
"Do we need to leave?" Josh asks. 
Tyler stays still, flinching ever so often. 
Josh throws out their food and grabs Tyler gently. He leads him out to their car and Josh speeds off to Brendon's house. 
Tyler is leaned against Josh's door with off breathing. All he can hear in his head is screaming. 

Josh pulls up to Brendon's place after what felt like an hour, and he immediately scoops Tyler up and runs to the front door. He knocks, a bit louder than he intended, and cuddles Tyler to him as he awaits an answer.

The door slings open and shows a concerned Brendon. 
Brendon immediately takes Tyler from Josh and walks to his couch and lays him down gently. 
Josh appears next to him, but Brendon then saunters off to fetch a cold, wet rag. 

He places it on Tyler's forehead and rubs the side of his face in an attempt to help calm him down. 
Brendon speaks quietly, "I think you need to go to therapy." 
Tyler turns towards Brendon, "NO, I don't want to." 
Bredon sighs, but states bluntly, "I wasn't asking."
"Whatever," Tyler states, reacting childishly. 
This causes Brendon to say sadly, he leaves the room to call Tyler's therapist. 
He finishes the phone call, and with sad eyes tells Josh where it is and any other information he needs to know. 
Brendon glances at Tyler once more, but flinches and turns away when he sees Tyler is still glaring at him.
