• Josh's POV •

He goes to answer. It's Jacob. "J-Jacob..?" Josh manages to stutter. "What was that call about?! What do you mean we should see other people?! What's wrong with what we have?!" Jacob seemed upset.

"What I mean is... I don't want to see you anymore.. that's what the call was about.. I want to meet other people.. I want to have a real relationship.. we didn't have anything Jacob..." Josh says looking at Jacob. "What do you mean a real relationship?! We were dating!" Jacob says, raising his voice.

"We never made it official.. you just wanted me for sex.. nothing else.. those feelings you claimed to have towards me were fake... because you just wanted me for my looks.. we were never dating.." Josh says. "You never meant any of those I love you's they meant nothing to you.. I don't want to be someone's hookup buddy anymore, I want a real relationship.." Josh continues.

"What we had was real josh!" Jacob says, josh can feel Jacobs anger from a mile away. "Maybe for you.. but it never was for me... and it never will be..." Josh says and shuts the door.

He can hear Jacob knocking on the door, but it eventually stopped after Jacob realized he wasn't going to be let in, and josh was serious.

Josh goes to bed, staring out of the window. He feels his heart ache, he's longing for someone. But not Jacob. He still can't get over Tyler, Or as josh likes to think of him, "the boy". Who knows what the future holds for Josh, maybe his dreams are stupid, maybe he'll be dead before he knows it. "A man can only dream..." Josh mumbles, looking at the stars.

Morning..

• Tyler's POV •

Tylers alarm goes off and he wakes up, he presses the snooze button, he can't be arsed to get up. He just wants to stay in bed all day, but he has to go to work. Tyler rarely has days like these, but oh boy when he has days like these, he struggles.

Tyler keeps pressing the snooze button every time his alarm goes off. He sighs as he sits up, grabbing his phone from his nightstand. He turns off the alarm one last time and looks at the wall. "Why is it so hard..?" Tyler whispers to himself and sighs, trying to get his shit together.

He eventually gets up and goes to the kitchen, he grabs an apple and walks out the door. Tyler walks to his shop and looks across from the street and sees josh. "Morning josh!" Tyler says, plastering on a fake smile. "Morning Tyler." Josh says and waves at him.

'Josh looks tired, as if he didn't get enough sleep. Maybe he got none at all. He wasn't dropped off by his boyfriend either... maybe they broke up..?' Tyler thought to himself, but that's none of Tyler's business.

Tyler starts putting up his display that he has outside during the days. Tyler looks over at Josh's shop, he can see josh writing on a chalkboard, probably prices of piercings or some offers. 'His handwriting is so pretty.. his tattoo is so cool.. and those piercings.. the dyed hair.. man.. he's everything..' Tyler shakes his head "shut up brain!" Tyler mumbles to himself.

"Hey fag." It's Lawrence. "Hey Lawrence." Tyler looks at him and smiles, though the panic inside him is building up, maybe people found out that he likes guys, it'll be the end of him. "You're such a stalker. You make josh feel uneasy. He doesn't like you, he's on my side." Lawrence says. "That's nice, you got another friend." Tyler says, with the fake smile still plastered on.

• Josh's POV •

"You're such a stalker. You make josh feel uneasy. He doesn't like you, he's on my side." Lawrence says, it angers josh. "That's nice, you got another friend." Tyler says. Josh looks at Tyler, he admires how Tyler can just be so kind, no matter what they say or do to him. He's always smiling.. josh wants to have that power.

"We're not friends, especially since you talk like that towards my actual friend." Josh says sternly, walking over to Tyler and looking at Lawrence with furrowed brows. Josh is boiling on the inside. But he knows better than to snap at Lawrence. It'll only cause issues.
