(a message: uh so for some reason i published this as part twenty three when it was in fact part twenty SEVEN so if ur confused that's my bad lmao i have no idea why it was named part twenty three this is PART TWENTY SEVEN BABY LETS GO)

-Your P.O.V-

After the celebration last night, I invited the twins over early to have enough time to talk about what's been going on.

This is gonna be tough.

K and G were both sat on the couch and I sat on the love seat to the right of them.

"Sooo..." I nervously chuckle. The two share a glance.

"What?" They both shrug simultaneously while grinning.

Do I just...straight up tell them? Or should I ease into it?

"Hey good luck at your thing today. I hope you can save the band." Tyler suddenly says, coming down the stairs.

OH no.

"Wait what?" Karma turns towards me and Grayson follows, just as confused.

Josh notices from the dining room what Tyler announced and his eyes grew.

I look at Josh.

"Really!?" I mouth to him.

"Tyler!" Josh groans, looking at Ty as he reaches the living room floor.

"What?" Tyler responds, confused.

"That was supposed to be a secret!"

"O-Oh." Tyler rubs the back of his neck, slightly red. "My bad..."

I sigh. "It's okay, Tyler." I reassure him.

"I'm sorry too." Josh apologizes from across the room. "It just came up in conversation, that's why I told him, I didn't realize."

"I forgive you both." I faintly giggle. The twins still look quite lost.

"What is going on exactly?" Grayson implored, Karma nodded.

I take a deep breath. "Okay, so today Broken Castle and Victoria are supposed to be meeting with Fueled By Ramen. We're not exactly sure why, but they called Victoria and said this meeting was serious." I finally answer.

Karma gulps. "Wait what?"

Grayson tilts his head. "I-Is it because of those rumors?" He whispers, obviously disappointed in himself.

I really hope our band isn't dropped because of some nonsense dating rumor. I'd be pretty angry.

"Don't beat yourself up for it, we don't know what could be going on." I re-assure the twin.

"Yeah, I mean, I'm sure it will be okay, right? RIGHT?" Karma takes Grayson's shoulders and shakes him out of fear.

"Karma, calm down!" I yell at her.

Despite being nervous myself, maybe trying to convince the twins it'll be okay will make me start to believe it as well.

I hear a car pull up outside and honk.

"That must be Victoria." I stand up along with the twins and head over to the front door.

"Hey." Josh surprises me as I turn around.

He places his hands on my shoulders. "Whatever happens today, I want you to know I'm extremely proud of how far you've come and this is just the beginning."

I engulf Josh in an embrace and take a deep breath in.

"I love you, Josh." I thank him, mumbling into his chest.

"I love you too, Sunshine."

-Josh's P.O.V-

I was playing with Jim outside while Broken Castle was still in their meeting with FBR.

It's been like two hours now, what could possibly be going on?

"Hey, can we talk?"

I turn to a familiar voice alarming me in my backyard.

"Oh!" It was Tyler. "Yeah, what's up?"

Tyler walks over to me and crosses his arms. We watched Jim run around in the backyard playfully, fetching the tennis ball I kept throwing and he kept retrieving.

Tyler smiles. "What a good boy."

Laughing, I agree. "Right?"

"So, uh, I gotta be honest Josh." Tyler shifts his feet back and forth.

I grow concerned with Tyler's sudden change of voice.

What...does he mean?

"What's going on?" I stop throwing the tennis ball and cross my arms as well, leaving Jim a bit disappointed.

Though he soon finds a stick and starts gnawing on that instead.

"I know we've just started working on the music for Trench but...I think I need some time to myself to really get the lyrics how I want them. N-Not that I don't want you to work with me, I just-" Tyler sighs. "You know how I feel about writing and what not, it's very personal to me and I just think it'd be better for the both of us if I go back to Columbus for a while."

I bite my lip, confuddled. Obviously, it's upsetting that I won't get to see Tyler for a while except maybe over video chatting and phone calls but I'm excited and thrilled to hear what he's been working on.

I smile at him. "Tyler, you're honestly the most talented guy I know, I completely understand and I can't wait to see the lyrics you've been working on. I'll always be your drummer and your best friend."

Wow, what is with me today? I'm feeling so sappy, haha.

Tyler smiles back and we hug. "Thanks Josh.I just hope I can give the clique something amazing." Tyler shrugs. I tilt my head at the singer and reply.

"You most definitely will."
