•Chapter 14: Fairly Local•

"Gosh, I don't want to imagine what it would be like. Now I'm worrying if Tyler is as well going to get one too. This whole thing is almost tearing everyone apart." I confess. Josh looks sternly at me before nodding as well.

"I hate this. I just want things to go back to normal. What ever happened to us huh? I guess life here just takes a toll on everyone." Josh replied.

I had to agree with that statement. I guess I haven't shared my problems with anyone here really. I suppose I've been so focused on how Josh and Tyler were doing that I neglected my own mental stability. I think I should finally speak up about everything.

Almost as if reading my mind, Josh abruptly speaks, "Feel free to share anything if you need to. I'm all ears."

I smiled at Josh, then swiftly looking down before speaking, "It may sound repetitive as you heard it from many other people, including Tyler but I've been really stressed about a lot. It was mainly because of you and Tyler. Not saying that you yourselves have stressed me out but I guess it's my own actions. I just feel like I'm not doing enough for everyone. I mean look!" I begin to tear up. "Tyler isn't even with us right now because he's hurting! And now I can't even help you. I'm sorry Josh, I know I'm useless but I really did try, I tried so hard!"

Josh looked down at me with an evident frown on his face. He pulled me into a hug while I wept. I suppose it was my turn to get comforted even if the worse hasn't come yet.

Tyler's POV:

"I'd like to thank you again for everything Metoge, you were really good help. I don't know what I'd do without you." I thank Metoge.

"Ahh it was nothing Tyler. You know I may just be the boring ol' librarian of the archives but I think I could make a really good psychologist." Metoge replied sweetly.

I smile back at her before picking up my things and opening the main door to the outside, "I'll see you again whenever okay?"

"Of course! Feel free to come whenever! I mean hardly anyone comes to the archives so I'm always free."

I give a sympathetic smile towards her. "You're job is underrated. People should always be flooding your doors."

She smiled at that, "Doubt it but whatever you say Ty. Have a good rest of your day also stay alive and well!"

I cheerfully reply back, "You too!" Before I make my way outside.

Time surely did pass by fast. It was already what seemed to be dusk outside and it only felt like an hour or so that I spent with Metoge. But no matter what, it was great having a chance to be with her for a while. I felt much happier after venting everything to her. I had a bit of hope and confidence in me so I started to look for Josh and Y/N.

On the way, I plucked a yellow flower off the ground. It was a shame how there wasn't always a lot around. The Bishops for some reason hate the color yellow. They kill and burn any yellow flower they see. It's a rare opportunity to pluck one so I thought I'd give this one to Y/N as an apology for my behavior.

I had the gut feeling that they might be at the usual bench so I make my way there slowly but surely, very excited to finally have the mental stability to see them again.

I make my way to the bench and I see to figures there. I can make out the shapes of Josh and Y/N so I make my way there. Just before I can speak, I noticed that the both of them fell asleep hugging eachother on the bench.
