Tyler's Angel-Book One-A Joshler Fanfic

14

Josh carefully hugged me to his chest being sure not to hurt me any further than his father had.
I loved it when he held me to him...hearing his heartbeat and feeling his chest rise and fall with slow steady breaths made everything seem like it would be okay,like everything would be alright.
Josh heaved a heavy sigh,
"Tyler,I know it's going to hurt a bit...but we need to get you cleaned up okay...?"
I carefully nodded trying not to cry anymore,although now that I was here with Josh,I felt numb. The pain couldn't touch me when I was with him he made everything better.

He slowly stood me up,taking my hands and kissing my cheek gently. He supported me as I walked to the bathroom.
He turned on the water as he helped me take off everything but my underwear. His mouth gaped open as he stared at all the purple,blue,red and bleeding bruises. Tears were filling his eyes, making them glossy and pooling on his bottom lid before they rolled down his cheeks.
"T-...Tyler....baby.....I'm s-so sorry....he d-...h-he did th-is...to y-ou..."
He broke down in front of me. Joshua Dun...broke down...in front of me...
I hadn't dared to look in the mirror until then,and even I scared myself with how I looked. I cried silently and he held me close as I ran my fingers through his hair. My heart started beating faster because of what I was about to do.
I turned his face to meet my teary eyes,and then without warning I smashed my lips into his,and he kissed me back. We both pulled away and still the tears streamed down our faces,but we were smiling,with our foreheads pressed together.
After a few moments of standing there in the bathroom holding each other,he took the clothes that I had just removed,and put them in the wash so they could be clean and warm once Josh had finished washing me.
He checked the water before I stepped in,and he had let me keep on my underwear so I wouldn't feel so embarrassed.
He ran his fingers through my hair with the soap on his hands,gently tugging at my hair which I enjoyed,but was still very painful at times.
After rinsing out my hair he had me sit as still as I could,with my awful posture that made me look like a letter C,so that he could carefully clean the cuts that covered my body and the places where my skin had torn over my bruises.
He was so gentle,but it still hurt so badly,as I grimaced and let out whimpers when I couldn't hold them back anymore. My tear stained cheeks were the only things left unclean by that point,and Josh cupped my face in both his hands rubbing off the tears, and gently kissed me on the lips.
The older boy noticed every grimace and slight jolt I made as he washed me. I felt helpless and embarrassed but with him...it was okay...I was finally safe...
He only left once to move the clothes from the wash to the dryer and came back within seconds.

Once I stepped out of the tub he worked quickly to dry me so I wouldnt get too cold, then wrapped me in the towel and went to grab my clothes.
He was back almost instantly,but as he put on my clothes he kissed around each and every cut,bruise,and scrape,while telling me how much he loved me and just how worth it I was.
I didnt deserve someone as amazing as him. I didn't deserve someone so caring and sweet...and I knew it. I was waiting for the downfall...
Josh brought me back to my bed and let me lie on top of him with my head lying on against his muscular chest.
His dad's voice was echoing through my head...stay away from Josh...
I trembled at the thought,and Josh noticed right away,
"What is it Tyler...? What are you thinking about...?"
He asked sounding concerned and empathetic.
I stayed quiet knowing he was going to hate what I had to say,until he urged me to tell him.
I stuttered out the sentance while the tears began to flow again,
"...y-your d-ad....h-he-...he's g-going to... h-hurt you a-nd me b-both if...if w-we ke-ep seeing e-ach ot-other..."
Josh looked like he was going to break down again,
"Tyler,my da-...that man is never going to touch you again...I promise you okay?"
I nodded slowly,but watched as Josh looked away from me,thinking about his father as his kind eyes turned into those of fire,anger and hatred.
I was nervous to confess my feelings for Josh,so instead of telling him that I wanted to be his boyfriend...I simply told him,
"...Josh th-there's so-mething t-that I wa-nt to tell y-you...but I ca-n't..."
He smiled gently and nodded his head in response, he understood.
He wrapped his arms around me,kissing the top of my head and making me feel safe again.
"...you are my everything Tyler...I love you...and I want to be yours..."
He said quietly. I smiled weakly saying,
"...Y-ou are m-my home Josh...and if yo-u're willing to b-be mine...then I will be y-yours..."
I blushed looking up at him,and we sat there smiling for a few minutes.
"I would love that baby,"
He replied sweetly,and I began to get that melty feeling again.

Josh layed with me in my bed for a few hours and held me,I listened to his heart beating and his steady breathing,until I heard them both quicken,when I saw him I could tell he was upset.
He turned to see me and gave me a concerned look,
"Tyler there's...something I have to take care of...but I'm not going to,unless someone else is here for you. Is....is there someone who can stay with you for a little while,so I can take care of...it?"
I thought for a few minutes...
"M-maybe...Je-nna...?"
Josh looked surprised,
"Jenna as in,Jenna Black? The same Jenna I've been friends with since 8th grade, the person's house I just drove back from?"
I nodded my head. I knew her name was Jenna black because she was a very popular cheerleader,who had won prizes for her baking skills,always helping with charity events and bake sales.
I didn't know how I had never noticed her with Josh before,or...maybe I had but I wasn't paying attention...?
"That's a great idea baby,"
He told me before picking his phone up to call her over.
Once he got off the phone he told me she was in town,picking some things up so it wouldnt be long before she got here.

Not much time had passed before there was a gentle knock on the door and behind it was Jenna's smiling face. I was standing behind the protective older boy,but as soon as Jenna saw the bruises and tear stains on my face her smile quickly dropped turning into a very concerned look.
"...oh my God Tyler...was this Brendon...?"
Her eyes had become shiny as she spoke. I just looked down to the floor, knowing that if I opened my mouth only my pathetic sobs would come out.
Josh saw the look on my face and brought Jenna to the side,telling her what had happened. Then he looked to me as if to make sure I wasnt listening and told her something else more quietly.
Jenna's eyes widened and she tried to talk Josh out of whatever it was but eventually he convinced her. He walked over to me and softly kissed me,and told me he would be back as soon as he could,I nodded but still wishing he would stay,as he walked out the door.
