Not Apologising - Joshler

Prologue - Mornings

Remington P.O.V
I woke to ear shattering screams echoing through the house, and I instantly knew my brothers were already awake. It was the first morning back from camp, and tensions were already running high.

"Emerson where the fuck are all my guitar picks!" I heard Sebastian scream, reaching pitches I could only aspire to. Mum was still away on vacation, and wasn't coming back for another week, so the Kropp boys had to fend for themselves until then. So far it wasn't going swimmingly.

"Burnt. Last night." My youngest brothers voice was faint, almost whimsical. How the fuck did he burn them? I heard Seb storming down the stairs, followed by Emerson's strangled gasps.

Not again.

I reluctantly pulled myself from my bed, and leaned over the banister to observe the scene below. "What the fuck are you two doing?" I asked, watching Seb's arms go limp around Emerson's neck as they both looked up, slightly ashamed. Seb opened his mouth to speak again, but was silenced by Emerson shoving his elbow into the taller boy's throat, before running for his life. He attempted to run past me on the way to his room, but I blocked his path, throwing the shockingly light boy over my shoulder, taking him downstairs.

"I know mum's away, but that doesn't give you two an excuse to be at each other's throats every goddamn day! I'd rather the house be still intact when she gets back." I said groggily, dragging myself into the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Moments later, Sebastian stormed back in, still shouting.

"Remington, he set fire to my fucking picks! Every single one of them! You can't just let that go!" He said, glaring at me. I turned, squeezing the bridge of my nose, exhaling harshly.
"For fuck's sake Sebastian, he's still a child! I know that you and I have graduated, but he's still a junior, and barely passing at that! Give the kid a break! Goddamn it."

Sebastian just stared at me for a minute, before turning and walking straight out the front door.
"Where are you going Seb?" I called after him. He just opened the door to his car, shoving his keys into the ignition. I could barely hear his reply over the roar of the engine as he pulled out of the driveway.

"I don't know."

I sighed, walking back inside to see Emerson sitting on the couch, gently sniffling with a phone pressed to his ear. My muscles instantly relaxed at the sight of the teary boy, and I sat down, bringing the fragile kid into my arms, pressing a soft kiss to the back of his head.
"Who are you talking to Em?" I asked, voice barely a whisper. I had to ask him to repeat the muttered response three times before I could understand what he was saying.

"Tyler."

"Who's Tyler?"

"I met him at camp. He was the one who sung with the pink haired boy, with the piercings, the one that you fancied."

I blushed slightly, remembering seeing Josh onstage for the first time and barely being able to the think straight. That was before I found out him and Tyler were together. However, I also remembered the anxious ball of talent that was Tyler Joseph. My brother interrupted my train of thought by throwing his phone directly at my stomach after he finished the call. I inhaled sharply, dramatically clutching my thin torso and making the pain out to be much worse than it actually was. Emerson just giggled, wrestling me off the couch until we were both just a heap of ratty clothes and unwashed hair  on the floor.

"He wants to meet up today, do you want to come? Josh and this other boy called Awsten are gonna be there as well." He said, patiently awaiting my response. I considered it for a moment, before nodding.

"Sure, what time?"

"Umm, ten minutes ago."

A/N: Hiii I'm back and I'm not dead whoop. Ok so this is longer than the prologue of the first book, but shorter than the average chapter for this book, which will probably be around 1k words each. I'm gonna have a bunch of different perspectives, and focus on some of the relationships for the first book, as well as Joshler. Hope you enjoy it <3
