Before You Fall Away//Twenty One Pilots fanfiction

Tyler. (1)

Josh's P.O.V
Well you know me as the guy from the band twenty one pilots. Also my best friend Tyler. Tyler and I have been friends for as long as I can remember. Never once I've seen him act this strange. Going out late, drinking, wanting to stay home all the time. It may just be nothing but I have a friend radar. I can tell when Tyler is sad, hungry, happy, and just about anything else. I mean I'm with the guy 24/7 I can tell when he uses new shampoo for Christ sakes. Something is definitely up I hope he just tells me.

"Hey Josh!" I heard a familiar voice call down the hall. "Tyler? That you?" I shouted back at the voice. The voice was Tyler, but he sounded tipsy. "Yeah Bro! The party was sick! Why didn't you come man!" I saw Tyler stumbling down the hall towards my room. "I'm tired Tyler, are you okay?" I asked worried. Tyler never drank. Lately he's been coming home wasted off his ass, and then crashing either on my bed or the couch. "Yeah man I'm great! I'm just so tired." He plopped right into my bed falling asleep instantly.

I sighed and rolled over, not able to sleep.

Why is he like this?

Is his depression back?

I'm going to have to talk to him when he's sober. I turned off the lamp on my nightstand, pulled the covers on top of me, and went to sleep.

I woke up with the sun in my face. Tyler was gone, but I heard humming in the kitchen. He was humming "Fake you out" I waked out of my room and into the kitchen. Tyler was making a bowl of cereal, it was Fruit Loops of course. I sat down on the bar stool in front of him. "What did you do last night?" I asked curious if he remembered. Tyler looked down at his bowl. "Nothing." He's lying he really thinks he can curve his way around this. "Tyler are you okay? You've been staying out late a-" "I'm fine Josh" he said coldly.

He looked up at me, I was clearly hurt by the fact he brushed me off like that. "I-I'm sorry" he said clearly holding back tears. Something is clearly bothering him. I stood up from the stool walked over to him and hugged him. I could feel my shirt getting wet from how much he had been crying. I felt so bad for him. "Tyler?" "Yeah Josh" He said with his face still in my shirt. "Is BlurryFace back?" I asked in a sympathetic voice. BlurryFace is a code name for the voice in his head. He was terrified of him. "Y-yes. This time worse. He won't stop telling me things, Horrible things. Josh please help. I-I can't take it anymore!" He sobbed but this time harder. I feel so bad for him. But what could I do?
