Kik Me When I'm Down (DISCONTINUED)

Irl 5 pt. 2

Josh knocked on the bathroom door. "Tyler, could you please come out."

Tyler was curled up in the bathroom besides the bathtub. His tears were running down his cheeks. "I don't want to."

"Could you at least open the door?"

Tyler sniffled, "But it's so far."

Josh chuckled. "It's only two steps in front of you, Tyler."

For a few seconds, there was silence. Then a click, indicating that the door was unlocked.

Josh opened the door and sat besides the younger boy. "I know that she said some harsh things, but all of that doesn't matter."

Tyler buried his face into his knees and sobbed, "I regret everything. I feel like this will go on my record online, and the people won't want me to talk about cyber bullying any more and-"

"Tyler, stop it." Josh interrupted, "There is no online record, and people will still ask you to talk about cyber bullying. You are a great person, even if you were a little rough on the internet, and if no one else believes that, then I would be honored to be your number one fan."

The boy laughed a bit, and he wiped his tears. "Thanks, Josh."

Josh's phone buzzed. He smiled as he read the messege. "Hey, Tyler. Wanna grab some pizza?"

"And that's the story of how I made Ryan sneeze choclate milk out his nose." Melanie laughed.

Ashley laughed, too." That sounds so embarrassing."

"It was." Ryan started,"That was before I knew that I was lactos intolerant." He glanced towards Brendon before speaking again. "Anyways, Where are they?"

"You actually invited them?"

"Yeah, of course. They deserve some pizza." Brendon answered the half blonde.

"Speaking of the boys, here they come now!" Ashley said.

Tyler and Josh walk into Bob's Pizzeria and notice Brendon and Ryan sitting together. Josh grabs Tyler's hand and leads them over to the group. "Hey Brendon and Ryan." Tyler starts before noticing that Ashley and Melanie were also with them. "Hi Ash, hey Mel." 

Melanie looked up at Tyler, "Hi."

"Aren't you two glad you picked the widow booth. Slide over, Ryan. You can sit here with us." Brendon said, trying to remove the awkwardness from the group.

The boys sat down and the waiter came over to get their orders.  The group was silent for a while until Brendon tried to lighten the room again, "So Tyler, you never told me you did stuff for the cyber stuff."

"Oh, yeah I did. My church asked me to do something and it blew up on the internet."

"What was that like, being on camera and all?" Ashley asked.

"It was weird, but the people were really nice and stuff. I haven't done any other videos like that in a while, but they've recently contacted me about going to some hospitals for children."

Ryan nodded,"That sounds cool. Children like you a lot, Tyler."

"I guess." Tyler says. The group goes quiet again, so once again, Brendon starts talking. 

"So, Ryan, you know who Jon is right?"

"Yeah, what about him?"

"He and his buddy Spencer Smith are coming over today and they said that they needed a singer for their band."

Ryan furrowed his eyebrows," Brenny you kow that I can't sing that well. Why would you invite them over."

"Yes, you can sing Ry. You just aren't comfortable with your voice. I think you sound reat, which is why I invited them." 

The older boy turned and crossed his arms, "I will not sing for them and that's final."

"I'll join the and with you, If that's what you want."

Ryan hesitated before looking over at Brendon. "You don't own any instruments."

"The music teacher taught me guitar, so I can play that. And I have been saving up to buy my own."

"Tyler, don't you play guitar?" Ryan suddenly asked.

Tyle looked up, blinked twice and sais, "Uh, no. I play the Ukelele. Melanie and Ashley play guitar."

Melanie also looked up, "Oh yeah, I do. Me and Ash have jam sessions sometimes, starting from silly songs we made up to like really serious stuff, like that song she made about her ex."

Ashley nodded, "Yeah, I thought really hard about the lyrics that I originally made and then changed it a little."

"I helped a little, with the rhyming and stuff." Melanie said.

"Wait, Tyler, you said you play the Ukelele, right?" Brendon started. "Does that mean that you write?"

Tyler shrugged,"I did when I was younger, but back then was different when I wrote stupid love songs about a cat that I had. Now I only write what I feel is important to me. Don't get the wrong idea though. I loved my cat, it was just weird to sing a love song about her."

"I thought it was cute." Josh said.

"Yeah, but it was gross though. Jaime, from middle school said it was about bestiality."

"Mel, you write songs too?" Brendon asked.

"I did. Now I do covers and stuff. I might get serious again and write more. I don't know yet."

After a while, the three couples were laughing at a joke that Ashley was telling. Then Tyler started to say something, "Hey, uh Melanie?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry for saying all those things about you. I know I shouldn't have said that stuff about you or your parents."

Melanie glanced down at her phone which had lit up, and looked at yler and smiled, "I'm sorry too, Tyler. Truce?"

Tyler smiled.

"Truce."
