"jenna, i swear i wasn't imagining things! look i even have the drumstick they left!" tyler exclaims, waving the singular drumstick infront of jennas face.

"tyler i don't see why this is such a big deal," jenna sighs, tyler frowns "it's a big deal because it's embarrassing jenna! i cant even sing i just" tyler stops himself before he gets upset.

jenna looks angry now, she slams her book shut (its a new book, called wonder) and she grabs tyler's shoulders before speaking sternly.

"tyler robert, you are the most talented musician i know. even more so than all those chart toppers and all that crap, don't you ever say you aren't good, do you hear me?"

tyler tries not to smile at jenna's outburst, he nods his head solemnly and pulls jenna into a big bear hug.

"love you jen" he mumbles into her shoulder, "love you too, nerd" jenna laughs lightly.

"oh!" tyler yelps out of realisation, "i just remembered," be begins, pulling away from jenna.

"maddy got a new nail polish set the other day and i was wondering if you could come around and paint my nails?" tyler questions excitedly, waving his hands about; his right one still clutching the drumstick.

jenna giggles and agrees, but only if she can stay the night. 

later that afternoon tyler and jenna stop around at her house to pick up some sleepover essentials and to let her parents know shes staying the night.

her parents are fine with it as usual, and the two rush upstairs to pack movies and jenna's clothing into a small duffel bag.

tyler's house is only a ten minute walk from jenna's so its easy for the two to hang out often outside of school. most weekends the two are in tylers bedroom gossiping or at the local mall going window shopping.

at 9pm that night jenna and tyler are watching tylers favourite movie, 'donnie darko' while jenna paints tyler's nails a pretty metallic blue colour taken from his sisters new kit.

tyler's phone goes off just as jenna finishes painting the glossy substance onto tylers pinky finger. he brings his hand to his face and lightly blows on his nails before carefully reaching for his phone.

"careful!" jenna hisses and tyler just chuckles, unlocking his phone.

unknown number: hey, princess.

tyler frowns, and quickly hands the phone to jenna who reads over the message.

"wrong number?" she suggests, before handing the phone back to tyler.

tyler😇: i think you have the wrong number, sorry! :D

tyler gets a reply straight away and jenna moves onto the bed to peer over tyler's shoulder.

unknown number: is this tyler joseph?

tyler😇: yes, who is this?

unknown number: im afraid i cant tell you that.

tyler reads over the message a few times before turning off his phone and chucking it onto his bed.

"that was kind of creepy." jenna laughs uneasily, tyler nods in agreement.
