Teenagers

Loving Someone

Josh was watching a marathon of X-Files while eating some Oreos. Johnny has a week before coming home. Trinity was out with Sally doing girl stuff.

Josh sorta hated how quiet it is in the house at the moment. He missed when the kids were little and made a bunch of noise. To be completely honest Josh was missing Tyler a lot today. He kept finding himself looking at his tattoo or the picture the kids hung up of on the wall. It was of him and Tyler. Josh was holding a selfie stick while the other hand did the rock n roll sign. Tyler was by him smiling. Josh remembered that Tyler was six months along with Trinity when he took the picture.

Two other pictures were by that one. One was of Tyler pretending to eat young Johnny's stomach causing the boy to smile. The other was a picture of Josh and Trinity. She was around three years old and they were both smiling at the camera.

Josh was tempted to go to the cemetery and just sit by Tyler's gave, but his phone rang. He looked at the screen to see Mark was calling. He sighed before silencing the phone. He didn't really want to talk to Mark. It brought too many memories back.

He waited tell he saw that he left a voicemail. Josh put in his code to see what he called for.

"Hey. Just calling to tell you Kelly found one of his old recordings." Josh swallowed the lump in his throat as he kept listening. "I thought you might want to listen to it so I sent it to you. Just check your email and it should be there. It sounds incomplete without you drumming"

It was quiet on the line until he spoke again. "I miss him too, you know. He was your husband, but my best friend. I hope you're doing good out there dude. I'll see ya later. Bye."

Josh grabbed his laptop and went to his email. He hovered over the link to Tyler's recording. He was scared to hear it. He had avoided their music since Tyler's death and had made an exception to the day he told the kids about their mother.

He clicked it and listened to the beautiful cover Tyler did. Josh couldn't help but cry as he can hear how sad Tyler was from his voice. The link dated that he recorded it a week before Trinity was born.

The song finished and Mark was right. The song sounded incomplete. He grabbed his laptop and went into the instrument room. He set his laptop up and put on the bulky headphones he had. He ended up recording his drum part and mashed everything together. Josh knew Tyler hated an incomplete song, especially one with so much potential.

He posted it on the bands old SoundCloud and made a post on Twitter.

@Joshuadun: A good friend found a link to babyboy's recording. I had to complete it for him. So here's our last work. For @tylerrjoseph. Me and family and friends think about you everyday.

He connected the link and posted it. Several people close to them reposted it and Gerard, Frank, Kelly, and Mark reposted it with replies.

@gerardway: Honored for him to cover our song. I miss seeing him at the Wentz or Weekes parties.

@Frankiero: Forever gonna miss this great man. He was what talent was made of. He made this song his own and it's brilliant like the rest of your guys work.

@Sweetjumper3: My baby would be happy you finished his work. He loved you so much @joshuadun. As well as the clique. Most of all @Johnnydun and @Trinitydun.
