THE PLAGUE (Tyler Joseph x Reader) ✧ idkbrooklyn

chapter 03

-Your P.O.V-

A silent ride home followed after we all eventually got back in the car after our Tyler Joseph rescue mission.

I kept looking in the rearview mirror at Tyler, he seemed nervous even though he's no longer in prison.

I can understand, I'm sure the entire night was scary for him.

My eyes dart from Tyler to Josh, he's just looking out the window.

He seems like he's thinking about something.

I don't know whether or not to break the silence, it's not necessarily awkward but I don't know if either of them feel uncomfortable either.

I guess if they wanted to speak up they would've by now.

Instead I just try to listen to the radio. A low, groggy voice hits my eardrums.

"This is 103.9 news, a local grocery store in downtown Columbus was robbed tonight around 11:30 PM."

Huh...

I notice Tyler's eyes move away from the window, he perks up his head.

I pretend not to notice and keep listening.

"Apparently, there was a group of men, their identities have not all been discovered as their faces were covered up, the police were only able to capture one of the robbers, he's now in custody-"

Josh turns his head as well.

"That'd be a scary sight." He mumbles, finally speaking.

"Yeah." I shortly agree, looking back at Tyler.

His attention seems to still be on the announcer's voice from the radio.

I notice we're inching closer to Columbus and try to shake my thoughts away, focusing on the road.

About ten minutes later, we're finally back. I drive up to Josh's driveway and put the car in park.

"Call me if you need anything, okay?" He motions a hand at Tyler, Tyler just nods.

Josh bids farewell and closes my car door.

I sit for a few seconds, waiting for Tyler to move to the front seat, he stays still.

"You wanna move up front?" I question him.

His head darts in my direction, like I've taken him off guard.

"Y-Yeah, sorry." He opens the back door and moves up front.

I take a deep breath before putting the car in reverse and exiting Josh's driveway.

As we're driving towards Tyler's, I just ask him. "Are you okay?"

His head falls down, "Yeah...tonight was just-" He shakes his head and lets out a breath, "something else."

"I bet," I reply. "I couldn't imagine being in your position."

"I never want to go back there."

-Tyler's P.O.V-

          ...Oh, please.
