I was holding Tyler against my body while he was crying silently.

Josh has told me who Blurryface was and what he does.

Thing is that at this rate I'm more and more convinced that Tyler represents everybody.

He's just so open about his feelings, others instead keep them closed. Just like me.

As soon as I knew what Josh was talking about I started running towards his home. Inside his home, crying on the kitchen floor near the kitchen sink.

"It's going to be ok Tyler, I'm here, Josh's here too." I was caressing his hair softly but I stopped as soon as I heard him whimper.

I raised my eyebrow confused.

Is he scared because he think I will hurt him? Then why is he letting me hug him?

Oh Tyler, you're such a strange creature.

I felt his hands grasp on my waist and then snake them around it. He was finally hugging back.

His cries were dying down.

He is so beautiful when he cries, so vulnerable.

This is the true Tyler. This little boy who has thousands of insecurities, yet can be a cocky man but is still vulnerable at the end of day.

"Save me, please it burns so much. It burns even my lungs." His voice cracked while trying to move.

"What does it burn?" I whispered softly. "Is it your mind?"

"It's your touch that consumes every part of me, it ignites an invisible fire, making me feel like a man thrown into hell. It makes me feel like a sinner for things I say and do, it makes me feel as bad as I can be. Please throw rocks at me so I can die. End this blissful pain so I can sit in silence."

Tyler doesn't represent everybody. He is more than just a simple crowd of people talking about useless stuff the whole day and grieving at home.

He grieves the whole time because he knows he's not like them and knows too much.
