The Forest // JoshDun x MichaelClifford

Chapter 1

I did it, I actually jumped. I JUMPED!
In your face voices in my head.

I ran so damn far yet I could still faintly hear my family yelling.

Not far enough.

Gotta keep going.

I keep running and I have no damn clue where to; I don't even know the forest that well, this might of been a mistake.

NO!

This is not a mistake. I can be happy by being myself; being free.

Still running, haven't stopped for what seems like forever but in reality has only been like 10 minutes. Damn. This is hard.

-------------------TIMESKIP------------------------
I fell asleep and my face is in pain. Know why? I fell face first when I crashed out. I have mud and grime on my face and I feel gross yet it's only been 30 minutes since I ran away. Better keep going.

Walking and whistling a tune, just a random tune.
Walking,
Walking,
Walking,
Walking,
Walk–SHIT!

I hear a voice.... it sounds kind and not my-crazy-mean-family voice. But what if they're using it as a cover, I should'– Annnnnndddddd there's now a guitar playing, very well might I add. C'mon Josh, don't be a coward, you can do this.

Everybody's got their demons
Even wide awake or dreaming
I'm the one who ends up leaving
Make it okay
See a war, I wanna fight it
See a match, I wanna strike it
Every fire I've ignited
Faded to grey
But now that I'm broken
Now that you know it
Caught up in a moment
Can you see inside?
'Cause I've got a jet black heart
And there's a hurricane underneath it
Trying to keep us apart
I write with a poison pen
But these chemicals moving between us
Are the reason to start again...

It's incredible singing. A man. I have decided to look at him; wow. Gorgeous. Pale skin but coloured at the same time, a red plaid shirt, black skinny jeans with rips at the knees, I see a band tattoo on his arm slightly, awesome ear piercings along with an eyebrow piercing above and under the eyebrow and he has beautiful white hair with a black streak down the middle, dyed I presume.

I walk forward slowly– *CRUNCH* anndddd I'm an idiot.

I stepped on a fallen branch.

His head shoots up and looks around,

"Hello? Who's there?" The mystery man says in a great accent, totally Australian.

"Who are you?" He spotted me and spoke.

"Duhhhhhhhhh..." Idiot, Josh, idiot.

"Nice to meet you 'Duhhhhhhhhh', name's Michael, Michael Clifford." He imitated, he flashed a dazzling smile that left me enchanted.

I gather the last of my courage and the little pride I have left,

"The names Joshua Dun, but you can call me Josh" I spoke trying to hide my light pink cheeks
