Tessa's P.O.V
"Josh?"
"Tessa."
Josh was sitting on the couch in shorts with messy brown hair, his lip ring newly out.
"Can we have chocolate chip pancakes today?" I asked while plopping down next to him
"Yeah, but ask what Tyler wants"
"Who's Tyler?"
"He should be upstairs still"
"Oh"
I stood up from the couch, and begin my way up the stairs
"Tyler?" I whisper
I poke my head through the small slit of Josh's door
There is no 'Tyler' here
"Josh I swear if you're making this person up to scare me."
"Wow"
I whip my head towards the end of the hallway, my room door is open
Small quiet steps
Creak of the floor
"Yo, who are you, and why are you looking through my things." I ask with my arms crossed
A tan lanky boy with blue basketball shorts on and no shirt turns swiftly around
"Oh I'm- I" he stutters
"Hey. it's cool." he eases his tense shoulders "you're tyler, right?" he shakes his head 'yes'
"I'm Josh's little sister, Tessa." I say quietly
"I'm Tyler, Josh's band mate."
"Band mate?"
"Yeah, I- I have a band, but the other people in it are too busy, he's the drummer, I sing."
"Oh hey, that's sick."
"Yeah, I uh, I like your uke." he points to the oak ukulele hanging from a hook on my wall
"You know how to play?" i ask, walking to it
"No, I wish." He smiles softly
"Lemme show you" I sit at the side of my bed, and pat the side next to me
he unsurely sits down
"He's a tiny thing I've been working on." I smile down at my uke
"Why,
Do you fill me up,
Buttercup baby,
just to let me down,
and mess me around
and worst of all,
you never come baby
when you say you will.
but I love you still.
I need you , I need you.
more than anyone, darling.
you know that I have from the start. so fill me up buttercup,
don't break my heart."
I look up to see Tyler look into my eyes in awe
"You two are gonna be really close, I can tell." Josh's voice interrupts
Tyler snaps out of what seemed to be a trance and stands up
"The pancakes are ready by the way."
"Oh, thank you!" Tyler says
