No Angels [Joshler]

•13•

The photo shoot started and Tyler was not excited. Even though he was doing a good job for Mark's sake, his mind was swelling.

The boy was cold and frozen with shock, not trying to think about what Max had told him. He was getting to the point where he had fallen in love with Josh, but now it won't ever happen.

During the break, Tyler locked himself in his dressing room, sobbing into his suit, and drowning in his tears.

When he looked up to the mirror, he saw himself, all broken and dark like the night. His face was white as a ghost and his eyes were red with black tears streaming down his cheeks.

You are not worth it

You are a monster

You're going to kill Josh

"No!" Tyler cried. "Don't fucking say that! I would never!-"

Your future is coming, and it's going to consume you

"No!"

Josh is gonna die, and it will be your doing

"NO!"

Tyler punched the mirror, once again injuring his fist.

He looked up to himself, seeing the darkness slowly consuming him. The mirror was in pieces, and he could still see the red eyes with black tears.

Tyler refused to go back to work. He saw there was no hope in his future. If he killed Josh, he would never be himself again.

He knew the only way out was through death.

When break ended, Tyler grabbed a bottle of pills and ran to an unauthorized room where clients were not allowed into.

Once he was all alone, he poured the pills into the palm of his hand and took them, swallowing every last one.

Meanwhile, Mark became suspicious when Tyler didn't show up for the next round of shots. He looked over to Josh.

"Where's Tyler?"

"I don't know." He said. "I saw him go into the dressing room earlier."

"Go find him!"

Josh ran to the dressing room to see if he was there, and he wasn't.

"He's not in there!" He cried.

"Go check the bathroom!" Max added. "He was in there a couple of hours ago."

When he checked, Josh didn't find him.

"He's not in there either!" Josh cried; panicking.

"Fuck!" Mark shouted.

"Where could he go?" Max added. "He would never up and leave like that."

Josh turned his head and saw that the unauthorized room door was open.

At first, he found it odd, but suspected that Tyler might be in there.

When he went to look, he found Tyler laying on the floor, foaming at the mouth, with the pill bottle in his hand.

"TYLER! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!"

Josh rushed to his side, lifting him in his arms. He checked to see if he was breathing, and he wasn't.

"MARK, MAX, HELP!"

When they ran in, they stood in shock.

"Holy shit!"

"Don't just stand there! Help me!"

Mark looked at Max.

"Go call an ambulance!"

Mark kneeled next to Josh and started checking for a heartbeat, and there was one.

"He's still alive!"

"Start pumping his stomach!"

"I don't if I should-"

"JUST FUCKING DO IT!"

Before he could, the paramedics arrived with Max by their side.

"Gentlemen, please step aside so we can intubate him."

"Please save him!" Josh cried; hugging onto Mark.

"We'll do everything we can."

The three guys watched as the paramedics started pumping Tyler's stomach to get the pills out, but they realized that time was fading.

The only best option was to get him to the hospital.
