"i can't do this," tyler said, getting off the bus and walking to the car parked beside it.

"you can't what?"

"i quit. the band is all you now," tyler said, loading his bags up into the car. "it's over, josh."

"i'm going," tyler said, loading up in the car.

"ty, ty, please...."

tyler got into the front seat, slamming the door and beginning to drive.

"tyler!" josh called, starting to sprint after the car.
