Josh
I wake up to the feeling of a vibration.
I pat around the bed, searching for Tyler's phone.
I locate it, gently removing it from his hand.
He almost wakes up, but doesn't.
I lightly place my thumb on the home button, unlocking the phone.
Tyler got a message from Brendon.
I open it, seeing a picture.
Brendon:
Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image.
I sigh, feeling extremely relieved.
Brendon will no longer be bothering us.
I put the phone down, looking up at my boy.
His eyes are shut, his mouth a little open.
I lift myself up towards him a little, kissing his neck.
He awakes with a giggle, and pushes me away.
"Josh, stop it!"
I laugh, grabbing the phone again.
"Hey, I have some good news." I tell him.
He sits up, rubbing his eyes.
"Tell me."
"You will no longer have to worry about him coming between us."
I bring the phone up to Tyler's face, showing him the picture.
Tyler looks like he hits realization.
"He's leaving?"
"Yeah." I nod.
I lean in to kiss him, but he puts his hand in between us, pushing me away.
"Uh-uh. Morning breath."
I roll my eyes, playfully, and jump out of bed.
"Whatever, I'm going to fix myself up. We still going to the girl's today, right?"
"Mhm." Is the response I get.
I close the bathroom door, taking my sweatpants off.
I grab my toothbrush and put toothpaste on it.
As I'm brushing my teeth, the door opens.
I give Tyler a confused look.
"If we shower together, we save water." He laughs.

Tyler parks the car in front of where we used to live.
We get out of the car, looking at the building.
"This all happened so fast, didn't it?" He questions.
"Yeah, but aren't you glad it did?" I smile at him.
