“blurryface.. thank you.”

tyler has grown to like blurryface. and blurryface now cares what he thinks. blurryface cares what everyone thinks.

“well, what's the point of hating you when i’m stuck with you for the rest of our lives?”

blurryface still is a little harsh.

well, as soon as tyler turned 18, the police was called on christian. and he also was informed something. . .

“tyler joseph, we managed to locate your siblings according to christian. jay, zack, and madison joseph. correct?”

tyler gasps, his heart dropping. “y-yes. can you contact them? will i-i be able to see them??” he asks hopefully. the officer asks another officer and nods to tyler with a small empty smile. “we found out that two of your siblings are in foster care together. the other, jay, has a home that is looking for a family for him. since you are now 18, you are allowed to live with them and look after them.”

tyler starts crying with a small grin on his face. josh hugs tyler and kisses his temple. “s-so when will i be able to call them?” tyler asks softly. “right now if you'd like, honey. we have found their numbers.” a female officer informs.

so an officer leads tyler and josh to a phone that connected to the wall. the officer dials in the number to the house that jay lives in and hands it to tyler. a lady picks up.
“hello?”

“oh, hi! um, is jay joseph there?”

“who’s asking?”

“his brother, tyler joseph.”

a small gasp was heard from the phone.

“i'll put him on the phone then.”

. . .

“hello?” it's a voice of a little boy.

“hey, buddy. . . it's me, ty-tyler. . . your big brother. we don't really know each other because mom and dad passed away when you were very little.”

“y-you're tyler?!”

“yes. and you're j-jay?”

“oh my gosh, y-you're my big brother!!”

tyler steps out of the plane along with josh, laura, and bill. they had all just arrived in california, and boy, are they sleepy. well, they all are except for tyler, who took a nap on the plane.

they decide to firstly stop at a hotel.

“alright, you two are sharing a room. we have rooms right next to each other, so you can come in our room if you need anything.”

“okay mom,” josh replies, taking tyler's hand. josh and tyler head into their hotel room. josh immediately plops down on the bed, sighing. “josh, don't fall asleep.” tyler says, sitting by him. josh ignores tyler and closes his eyes. “josh, please..”  tyler begs, shaking his boyfriend. “i’m tired, babe.”

“that's your fault for not sleeping on the plane!”

“it's three in the freaking morning, tyler.”

“please stay awake for me. please..”

josh sighs and sits up. “do they have coffee?” tyler smiles and orders a coffee for josh. josh sips it and it slowly kicks in while having a conversation with his boyfriend. tomorrow, surely, tyler will reunite with his siblings. and he's never been so happy, so a permanent smile is plastered on his small mouth.
