*Rose's Pov*

After my dad fell asleep, I opened my balcony doors.

I went out on the ledge, and sat in the chair I had out there. I smoked a cigarette briefly, trying to calm down.

Sometimes at night, I overthink and give myself the worst anxiety attacks.

Since my dad won't take me to any doctors or hospitals, I've never been given medication for it.

I looked over and saw Tyler sitting outside too.

Why is he outside at 2 in the morning..

I climbed down from my balcony, onto the roof of my shed, just like I always do when I sneak out.

When my father passes out drunk, he does not wake up.

I walked across the yard, and sat down next to him.

He was looking at the ground and not saying anything.

"Hey, what's wrong?" I asked.

"Nothing, just kind of depressed." He said, quietly.

"Why, what's bothering you?" I asked, trying to comfort him.

"I'm just lonely, you know?
I had so many friends in High school, and My girlfriend.
When my band got big, and then High school ended I lost all that.
She didn't want a long distance relationship, and everyone else went to college.
I know I have my band members, but sometimes they don't fill that void."
He said, looking at me.

He looked at me, with his deep green eyes.

"I know the feeling, ever since my mom left, I've felt alone." I said, trying to avoid the subject of my father.

"Hey Rose, even though we just met.. I want you to know that if you ever need something, or someone.. Don't hesitate to give me a call, or come over." He said, smiling faintly.

"Same to you Tyler, but er I don't have your number lol." I said, trying to lighten the mood.

He took my phone, and put his contact in.

He yawned and stood up.

"I think I'm gunna go to bed. Thanks for the talk, knowing that your here for me helped a lot." He smiled.

"No problem. Sleep tight." I said.

After he went inside I walked back to my house, and climbed back up.

I walked inside, and laid down on my bed.

I pulled out my phone and texted Tyler, because why not.

"Hey!" I wrote.

"Hi, is this Rose :) ?"

"yessir!"

"Ah just the person I was waiting to text me."

"Really?"

"Yeah, as soon as I got in bed I tried to close my eyes, but I couldn't sleep."

"I can never sleep :/"

"Hey Rose, since tomorrow's Saturday, wanna hang out?"

"Sure, but my best friend May is coming over at like 3 when she gets out of work, so I'll have to be home before three."
