josh's pov

tyler and i used to be friends in middle school

we used to talk about our favorite bands, who we wanted to be when we grew up

he played the ukulele a lot, and he was a great songwriter.

he fell into a depression in freshman year. he had no friends, nobody would talk to him, not even me.

i guess you could say freshman year, when i joined football, got a girlfriend, and found a new group of friends, i left him behind.

now we're in the first month of senior year, and tyler is nowhere to be found.

tyler is missing.
