We're broken people~ Adopted by Tyler Joseph

22~ mistake

* Trigger warnings in this chapter*

I go home a few hours after being asked out, honestly I don't know how that just happened.

I don't know how I'm going to tell Jenna and Tyler either.

I don't know what the fuck I'm doing.

Once I enter my house I'm welcomed my the smell of pasta. I shut the door and see Tyler and Jenna waiting for me at the table.

Shit I'm late

"Sorry I'm late, I kinda lost track of the time."

Jenna smiles as I sit down, "that's okay, while you were gone I had extra time to make Alfredo sauce because I know how you hate normal spaghetti"

We all eat mostly in silence besides an occasional word from Tyler talking about new music. I'm waiting to tell them until I'm mostly done eating.

So I can run up into my room to hide from embarrassment.
———-

"Um...Tyler and Jenna?"

They both look at me and I continue.

"I don't know how to put this but...I um am dating someone"

Spaghetti falls from Tyler's mouth as I said that. "Who is the man?!"

My heart sinks, "well that's the thing..I um.."

Jenna cuts me off with her calm yet excited voice, "is it a girl?"

I nod.

Tyler and Jenna look at each other before Tyler finally speaks up, " we are happy for you crystal, it doesn't matter who the person is, as long as you're happy"

I smile and hug both of them, "thankyou"

"Who is it?" Jenna says taking my plate, along with Tyler's.

"Remember my friend Liv?"

"Oh yeah her"

I continue, "Yeah it's her"

"Well me and Tyler are happy for you crystal"

After the long awkward conversation I head up to my room and begin to play my ukulele before getting a text from Liv.

Liv: tonight was really great, happy that I can call you mine now :)

I get butterflies in my stomach then proceed to respond.

Crystal: same :)

I shut my phone off and proceed to get ready for bed even though it was only 8.

For some reason I just don't feel right. Maybe I'm sick? I don't know.

I go to bed in an instant.

————

I wake up roughly 2 hours later.

Shit why this dream again?

I look down to see that I'm on the cellphone tower thing 

Again why the fuck am I here this was like 5 months ago.

"Why the hell am I here?" I scream.

I look down to see that this time instead of Tyler standing below me, it's neo.

"Fuck fuck fuck fuck why the hell are YOU here neo?"
All i can see from the dark being is a smile forming from its face.

"Miss me crystal"

"Um hell no, I thought you were gone for good!!"

"Me gone? Nope. I was just hiding in the back of your head until I found interesting time to pop back up, and I see I can fuck with your head in dreams now. This should be fun"

I began to feel my throat close and tears forming in my eyes.... why am I getting so upset?

"I'm getting to you I see."

Hanging from the end of the tower I yell back "no you are not!!"

"Then why are you crying?"

"I don't know."

"Do you want me to leave you alone for the rest of the night?"

I nod hoping they see my motion.

"This isn't real life so..you know what to do".

I close my eyes and let go of the railing, once again. Hoping I wake up.

———-

I wake up before I hit the ground, but I feel an aching pain in my arm. I look to see I guess I was digging in my arm so much that I caused it to bleed.

A sensation I haven't felt in a while.

And have oddly missed.

I get up and wash all the blood off of my nails and arm before checking the time.

"Fuck why is it only 4:30" I whisper.

I start to get ready and grab some paper in my room.

Tyler,
I'm not sure if I'll be home by the time you see this but I wasn't feeling the best so I wanted to go for a walk. I'll be fine I promise. I have my phone with me if you need anything
- Crystal

I put the paper on the kitchen table before heading out.
———

It is fairly warm for being a morning in may. I didn't even need to wear a jacket.

I kinda left without knowing where the hell I want to go.

"This is for sure a bad idea" I say to myself.

I head back to the forest.

Why? I don't know. I need answers to a lot of things. Like why I keep having the same dream about the place 5 months later. And why neos now in it.

The walk only takes about 10 minutes because I know where it actually is.

I make it to the clearing. I head to find the engraved board.

I find it after a few tries but I decide I'm going to take it home with me.

"Tyler's going to fucking murder me"

I pick it up and start to look around at my surroundings I can actually see for once.

I look up to see the tower I tried jumping off.

If I did jump that night, I would 100% be dead right now.

"Where is my purpose?"

You don't have any

"Where's my meaning to be here?!"

Like I said. None

I sigh with defeat.

"It was pointless coming here."

I start to head out of the clearing, holding the board in my hands.

Welp here goes nothing.
