Last night, Josh drove you over to Tyler's place.

He hadn't heard from him either.

Josh was shaking when he knocked on his door.

You were shaking when it creaked open. It was unlocked.

You and Josh found Tyler alone in his room, in the dark, sitting on his bed, staring at nothing.

He didn't even look up at you. He just kept his eyes trained on the darkness.

You and Josh stayed with him. Though you hate to admit it, you eventually fell asleep. Judging by the dark circles under Josh's eyes today, he stayed up all night with him.

You wish you did the same.
