josh asked tyler if he wants to stick around for a little longer after the show
jenna wouldn't mind
josh showed tyler his drum set and let him try
"can you sing?"
josh asked tyler as he picked up drum sticks
"i've never really tried, my parents don't like me being loud. i do write songs a lot, though."
"sing something. there's no one here to tell you to be quiet."
"i'd rather n-"
"please."
tyler took a breath in, looking down to avoid eye contact
"i feel for you but when did you believe you were alone
you say that spiders crawled inside and made themselves a home
where light once was
petrified of who you are and who you have become
you will hide from everyone, denying you need someone
to exterminate your bones
friend, please remove your hands from
over your eyes for me
i know you want to leave but
friend, please don't take your life away from me"
once he was done he looked up at josh
"tyler, that was beautiful. i'm not joking, you're voice is like a angel coming down from heaven." he was almost speechless
"i'm not that good, i mean-"
"yes you are! you need to believe in yourself more, dude."
he would make tyler believe
