I'm No Good Without You (Tyler Joseph x Reader)

Chapter 15

"Well would you look at that! You're finally sober enough to understand just what the hell is going on around you! You called Rayna a dropout today, but she started going back to school weeks ago!" She looked shocked at the "new" information. "And you blamed me for Axel and Aaron dying, just what the hell is wrong with you?!" I was finally letting out all the feelings I kept bottled inside for so long. Since the day the twins died, sure I had cried about it, but I never really acknowledged the fact that a lot of terrible things happened in a very short amount of time. I sank to the hospital floor and Tyler sat down with me and held me.

Despite not being able to see it, I could sense Rayna rolling her eyes. "Save us your sob story, attention whore. What, is your boyfriend's attention not enough for you, so you have to make us all feel bad for you too?" She directed her next statement towards Tyler, "you should just get out while you can. That girl is a trainwreck."

"Don't you say that about her!" Tyler stood up and almost shouted. "She has been through so much, as have all of you. You have no room to be talking bad about your baby sister!" I looked up and saw Tyler standing in front of me an Rayna across from him, staring at her feet. For a while, no one said a word. Most likely because they were too surprised by how loud Tyler was. They only knew him as a shy, quiet kid.

After a few minutes, I could no longer stand the quiet. "So, what exactly happened?"

My mom sighed, "your father can tell it better, I don't remember much of anything from the past weeks."

My dad spoke up from his chair beside my mom's bed, "I told her that you," he gestured to me, "were going to stay at Tyler's for a while. She got angry and said she was going to drive over there to 'straighten you out.' Her words. I don't know why she wouldn't just walk, given her drunken state, but she got in the car and started it then drove off. About 3 blocks down the road, she swerved into a tree and here we are." He told the story as if he were reading a book. "Now your mom is looking at a broken nose and two cracked ribs." I could tell he was at least slightly angry at my mom for getting herself into this, because his tone was more passive-aggressive than the average teenager.

"Wow," was all I could manage to say. It was hard for me to believe that my mom, the one who raised me and hadn't done a thing that hurt me or my siblings in our entire lives, had gotten into a drunk driving accident.

"Honey, I am so sorry. I don't have an excuse for how I've been lately. I promise you I will never drink again."

Little time skip

Well into March, she had kept her promise. Everything at home seemed to have calmed down, everyone was happy, we rarely fought, it was nice. I was still living with Tyler; we even changed my official address to his.

"Y/n, why won't you move back home?" My mother asked as we set the last of my stuff in the back of her car. "Are you still mad at me?"

"No, mom, I'm not mad. I just really like living with Tyler and I don't want to have to get all my crap and bring it back here."

She sighed, "if that is what you want. Now I'll just have to endure your father's begging to make the basement a man-cave." We both laughed a little. We drove over to Tyler's, where he was anxiously sitting on his front porch. When we pulled up, he jumped to his feet and ran over to the car. I opened my door and was soon enveloped in a hug.

"Hello, Tyler. You're acting as if we've been apart for years. I literally saw you twenty minutes ago."

He pulled away. "I know, but this is your last box. This makes it official."

"I'm no expert, but I am pretty sure it was official when your parents became my legal guardians."

"No, then you still had your," he peeked in the box, "band posters still at your house, therefore you lived at both places." I could tell he wasn't giving up so I just went with it.

"Oh of course. How silly of me." I took the box into Tyle- my house and set it down on my bed. I went back outside to say goodbye to my mom and saw that she and Tyler were talking.

"You probably already know this, but sometimes y/n snores. Pretty loud, too."

"MOM!" I could feel my cheeks set on fire.

"Oh, y/n, we were just talking about you." Tyler turned around to say.

"I can see that. What I don't see is why my mom decided to say the embarrassing things about me. Why don't you just show him my old school pictures as well?" I never photographed well.

"What a great idea! Next time you come over I'll be sure to have them out."

I grabbed Tyler's arm and started pulling him to the house. "Goodbye mom!" I closed the front door and pressed my forehead against it. "What else did she tell you?" I could only imagine the terrible things she said about me.

"Nothing, I swear." He brushed my hair aside and kissed the back of my neck. "Besides, even if she said something you might find embarrassing, I love hearing new things about you. The more I know about you, the more I want to. And I already know you snore." My cheeks burned yet again.

"That's great."
