My Demons

Old "Friends"

Tyler's POV 

August 2016

I danced around the stage singing out the last few lyrics in the rap for Guns for Hands. The crowd was going crazy and having such a good time. This is honestly one of the best feelings ever.

"When you all have, guns for hands, yeah!" I sang out the final words and smiled at the crowd. They were all so ecstatic to be here.

I scanned over the crowd. 'I've saved at least half these peoples lives.' I thought. I smiled again and walked back over to my piano.

"Okay guys, this is our last song." The crowd awed. "No it's not, we'll come back out after and do one more, like an encore." I whispered loudly into the mic.

Everyone got excited. "I'm only telling you guys so you don't leave. I had a dream once where I said it was our last song and when we came back out everyone left." They all laughed. "So don't leave, cause we are coming back." I smiled. "Now forget that I told you that and get really sad when I say its our last song!" I paused for a minute. "Okay, this is our last song." They awed again. "But its not really so here we go!" I said quickly and started playing the intro to Tear in My Heart.

"The songs on the..." I stopped and put my hand on my forehead.

Guess who.

My eyes widened at his voice and I threw an anxious look at Josh who was still playing, but now returned my scared look.

"Um.." I mumbled. "B.. But my taste in music is your face!" I tried to act excited again like nothing had happened.

After the song, Josh and I took a bow and I quickly reminded the Clique that we'd be back and not to leave before we quickly ran back stage.

"What the heck happened?" Josh asked, grabbing two bottles of water and handing one to me.

I nervously fidgeted with the bottle, completely ignoring Josh's question.

"Tyler, seriously. What's wrong?"

Sighing, I looked at him. "Blurryface is back."

His eyes widened. "Are you serious?"

I nodded and looked down at the bottle in my hands again. "What if he takes over while we're playing?"

That sounds like a great idea! I'd never even thought about that.

I sighed again and shook my head lightly.

"Guess we'll just have to deal with that when and if that time comes." Josh stated with little to no emotion. He still looked deep in thought. "What's our encore song again?"

"Semi-Automatic." I laughed. "We should probably get back out there."

He nodded and started walking back towards his drum kit.

Once he was sitting down, he nodded a little to me and I ran on stage, jumping over the piano as Josh started playing. I usually only did that at the beginning of shows, but I was feeling kind of overwhelmed at the moment and wasn't thinking straight. I landed in the middle of the stage close to the crowd and stood with my head back and arms up in a V shape. "IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE?!" I called into the mic. The crowd cheered and screamed in response. "Let's do this!"

I paced the small lounge area in the tour bus while we drove to the next place. 

"Ty, stop pacing." Jenna mumbled. "You're making me dizzy." 

"Sorry." I muttered, taking a seat beside her. 

"Did he do anything or just talk to you?" She asked, moving a little so she was facing me.
