a bright light was all tyler could see. other than the darkness that surrounded him anyways. he didn't know where he was. and he didn't know if he should go towards that light.

"go towards the light, tyler," he heard a voice that sounded awfully familiar to jordan's say. "do not be afraid."

he didn't know why, but he obeyed the voice. he found... comfort... in hearing it. where was josh? he thought to himself. where's my little lover boy?

and again, as if the voice knew what tyler was thinking, a new voice had said, "im right here, tyler. now go towards the light."

now, with the new confidence he had, he made his way towards the light.

"tyler? tyler? are you sure he's not dead?" debby asked jokingly.

"duh," josh said, slowly losing his cool. "he's fucking breathing."

jenna, josh, and debby had carried tyler into a room where the party was being held.
like said in the previous chapter, they knew what was going on. they just never knew someone that had awakened so late..

what was going on was this: youre given a scenario, usually something your afraid of. then, someone that has a great deal of importance in your future life will speak to you. but you wont be shown their face. it's usually your parents or sibling... someone you live with.

tyler's eyes slowly opened. he looked tired, sleepy, cuddly. like a teddy bear.

he closed his eyes again, slowly, trying to regain focus. but he failed and kept his eyes closed. the light in the room was fairly bright, so i wouldn't blame him.

eventually, josh, debby, and jenna left, leaving tyler to sleep in the dark room. they had things to do. like jenna and debby. they still had to dance together and all that cute couple stuff. josh had previously promised his grandparents he would spend time with them next time he saw them. and thats here.
no matter how much he wanted to spend time with tyler, he wasnt one to break a promise.
