Tyler and Josh looked eye to eye.

"Come with me Josh." The boy said; pulling his hand. "Come spend the rest of the night with me."

"Are you sure this is safe?" Josh asked.

"Of course. Just come with me."

Josh had never seen the boy so excited before. Whereas he was afraid at first. Maybe he was starting to become more normal; even though he doesn't know him fully.

The man followed Tyler to the edge of the gardens, which was where most of the sunflowers were. Beyond it was a magnolia tree; with a ukulele dangling from it.

"Isn't beautiful?" Tyler asked.

"Yes." Josh replied. "Did you decorate this yourself?"

"I did. It was that hard for me to do."

Josh looked at all the sunflowers surrounding him.

"Looks to me you like sunflowers."

"I do. They are my favorite flower."

Tyler went over and picked one out from a nearby bush.

"And I've always loved them."

Josh couldn't help but admire the boy staring down onto the sunflower. He thought he'd so beautiful. However, he let the flower slide away from his hand; sending it down to the ground.

"But there's plenty more where these came from."

"Oh, okay."

Tyler grabbed Josh's hand once again.

"Come on, I wanna do more with you."

Josh followed Tyler to the magnolia tree; where they both sat down together. Tyler got out his ukulele.

"Have you ever seen this before?" He asked.

"Of course." Josh said. "My sister plays it."

Tyler smiled.

"Well, why don't I play something for you."

Tyler started strumming on his ukulele; singing.

I know
Where you stand
Silent
In the trees
And that's
Where I am
Silent
In the trees

Why won't you speak?
Where I happen to be
Silent
In the trees
Standing cowardly

I can feel your breath
I can feel my death
I want to know you
I want to see
I want to say

"Hello." Josh sang.

Tyler was surprised.

"How did you know that?"

"I heard you singing it before. It's probably my new favorite song."

Tyler smiled; laying his head against Josh's shoulder.

"I think your my new best friend."
