i'm back sorry it's been a while. if you need to go back and reread the last chapter pls do!

the next day, the boys decided they needed to go back to school.

tyler woke up before joshua, he usually always does. tyler smiled slightly at joshua sleeping peacefully. his mouth was open and he was hugging tyler's pillow and tyler was absolutely in love.

with a quick peck to his forehead and which tyler saw josh smile in his sleep, he got up and walked to his bathroom to take a shower. once he got out, he grabbed his robe and put it on. he brushed his teeth really quickly and walked out to see joshua sitting up and stretching.

"goodmorning sunshine" tyler said smiling. joshua didn't answer but instead making grabby hands towards tyler.

tyler laughed and walked over towards his bed and kissed joshua.

"it's literally like 6am why are you awake so early?" joshua rasped out.

tyler shrugged. "I always get up early. I didn't mean to wake you, you can go back to sleep love"

joshua shook his head. "no i'm up now, might as well watch you get ready before I decide to get up"

"perv" tyler said with his nose scrunched up. joshua rolled his eyes and laid back down.

tyler opened his closet and rummage through his clothes before deciding on tight black pants and a yellow sweater. he quickly changed and walked out of his closet to grab his socks.

"holy hell you are the most prettiest person I have ever seen" joshua admired him. tyler blushed and looked down. "thank you joshua"

"no really I could never get tired of looking at you" he got up and walked towards tyler before hugging him. tyler squealed and kissed all over his face.

"I love you" he let out a breath.

"I love you too handsome" tyler said.

after getting ready and dropping ashley off at school, they pulled up at their high school. joshua's bruise on his face was barely noticeable and tyler and him both were happy about that. tyler hated the watercolor bruises that laid apon his skin more than anything and he hated when people were nosey and asked questions even more.

when the two walked in the school, they were both immediately pulled in for a hug.

"I was so worried" brendon said. "—you guys weren't here yesterday and I tried calling joshua's phone but no one answered and I didn't know your number tyler"

joshua smiled slightly. "it's okay bren. i'm okay. he's okay. we're okay" he confirmed.

brendon relaxed. "good. why weren't you guys here yesterday?"

joshua looked at tyler for reassurance and tyler grabbed his hand squeezing it softly.

"my dad uh saw tyler leave my house and got mad" joshua said, flashbacks of those events starting flowing through his brain.

"you're okay, I got you" tyler whispered to him whenever he saw joshua get anxious.

"i'm so glad he has you tyler. thank you" brendon said hugging tyler once again.

tyler nodded. "I would do anything for him. don't worry he will be okay" he said while smiling at joshua, eyes full of nothing but absolute love.

"okay. the others want to see you guys. they miss you as well" brendon said.

the two stood up and followed brendon to the crybabies.

during lunch, tyler sat with the crybabies today instead of dallon, ryan, and jenna. he wasn't mad at the two boys, he just couldn't bring himself to be around jenna without fuming.

joshua noticed jenna staring at tyler and he sighed.

"you need to make things right with jenna" joshua said.

tyler snorted. "no. she's being unreasonable"

"hear her out tyler. I understand why she is so hesitant about me" joshua said.

"no don't say that. she was out of line. she hates you without even knowing you and she's done some pretty terrible things. I don't want to be around that type of environment"

joshua sighed and took a bite of his sandwhich. he kept looking over at jenna's table and saw that she was still staring over at them. he looked towards his friends and gave them a look. knowing tyler and jenna's situation they got up and left, leaving the two alone.

"what are you doing joshua?" tyler asked in confusion.

"what you both are too scared to do"

joshua made eye contact with jenna and motioned for her to come over here.

"joshua.." tyler trailed.

"no, you guys miss eachother and I can tell, make things right" joshua said.

"hi" jenna said quietly as she approached the table.

"i'll leave you two alone" joshua said standing up.

jenna shook her head. "no stay. I need to apologize to you as well"

joshua nodded and sat down, holding tyler's hand.

"tyler I really miss you" jenna started. "—i'm so sorry for the way I have been acting. It was out of line and I didn't mean for things to get the way the were. I am so happy that you are extremely happy and it took you not talking to me to realize that I tried to ruin that"

tyler was quiet for a moment before he spoke up. "why? why do you hate the idea of joshua and I? why do you try to control every little thing I do?"

jenna let out a shaky breath, tears forming in her eyes. "I don't know. our whole lives it has just been you and I. I love protecting you and when I saw that you were branching out an meeting new people, it scared me. and when I noticed you and joshua were a thing it scared me even more. I was so afraid you were going to get hurt and that you were going to leave me that I started a hatred towards him. and i'm so sorry I did that. joshua makes you really happy and i'm so glad you have him and he has you"

tyler reached over and wiped the tear that fell down her cheek.

"jenna i'm always going to love you but you have to realize that you aren't the only person in my life but that doesn't mean you are any less apart of it" tyler said.

jenna nodded. "I know."

tyler pulled her in for a hug. "I missed you Jen"

she squeezed him tighter. "I missed you more ty. i'm so sorry"

once they pulled apart jenna looked at joshua. "and i'm sorry for being a bitch to you. you really didn't deserve that. thank you for getting us to talk to eachother"

joshua nodded. "it's okay I understand. tyler needs you and you need him. I couldn't stand seeing him so sad"

"I forgive you but on one condition" tyler said. jenna nodded her head for him to continue.

"you have to bond with joshua. you two are the most important people in my life and I don't want you guys to hate eachother" he said.

jenna smiled and turned towards joshua. "deal?" she stuck out her hand. joshua laughed and shook it.

"deal"
