Already Gone {Tyler Joseph}

.:.twø.:.

Tyler sits down beside me. 

"Tell me."

"Fine. You'll think I'm crazy..."

"No I won't."

"Yes you will!"

Tyler grabs my shoulders. 

"No. I. Won't."

I break down. 

"I just... It's...there's..."

"Shhhhh..... it's okay."

He pulls me into a hug. 

"It's okay... you're okay..."

"It's...she..."

"The voice in your head?"

"Mmhmm..."

"It's okay... it's okay..."

I bury my face into the crook of Tyler's neck. 

"I'm so scared of it..."

"It okay. I have one too."

"I'm.... I..."

"Shhhh. It's okay Juniper. It's okay..."

Tyler leans back, holding me close to him. 

"It's okay..."

I hiccup and curl up, Tyler  wrapping his arm around my waist. 

"Tyler..."

"Yeah?"

"C-can I stay longer than tonight..?"

"Of course."

I close my eyes, Tyler humming a soft tune. 

"Thank you..."

"For what?"

"For taking me in... for saving my life..."

"Don't worry about it. Get some sleep."

"It won't let me..."

"Try? For me?"

"Okay..."

I close my eyes and steady my breathing. 

'Stop. Open your eyes.'

I open my eyes, them being met by Tyler's. I look into his eyes for a second before I close them. 

'Stop. Get up.'

'No..'

'DO. IT.'

I open my eyes, a single tear rolling down my cheek. I sit up but Tyler makes me lie down again. 

"Fight it. I know you can."

"But you don't know me."

"I don't have to know you. I have to know what you're like."

"But y-"

"Shhhhh. Sleep Juniper."

"I-"

Tyler hums a soft tune. I recognize it. 

"Truce?"

"Yeah.."

"I like that one..."

"I figured you would."

I bury my face in Tyler's chest and close my eyes, listening to the perfect rhythm of his heart and how it matches the tune. 

I grow tired and eventually fall asleep.
