Don't Leave Me Alone | TØP

Chapter 9 // Jenna

(A/N)
Here's a short Jenna's chapter because she's my mom :-)
Also sorry for not updating this story in ages ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I sit next to Tyler, holding his hand carefully. I've been sitting next to him for hours, but I can't do anything else.

Everything is so confusing. I wish somebody told me what really happened to him. I want to know the real reason why he's almost dying.

But there's only two characters who know what happened.

One of them is dead.

The other one is in a coma.

Also the second person is my husband.

And this makes me angry.

I try not to squeeze Tyler's hand too hard. But I'm actually really angry and sad and I just want him to wake up. Is that too much to ask?

"Uh, miss Joseph?" I hear the nurse's voice behind me and I jump. "I think you should get some rest."

I let out a long sigh. Is true, I've been sitting here for hours but I'm not tired at all.

"It's okay." I rub my head with my free hand. "I'm not tired."

The nurse nods but she doesn't leave the room. I really want her to leave but I don't want to sound rude.

"I guess I'm going to stay a couple of minutes more." I give her a sad look. "Alone. With him."

The nurse nods again and leaves the room without hesitating.

Ok that was actually pretty rude.

I shake my head, trying to forget what just happened. I sigh again and rub my eyes. I should probably take a rest or I'll end up looking like Josh...

Wait.

Josh.

Josh was the last person who saw Tyler.

Josh probably knows something that I don't know.

I need to find him and ask what really happened that night...

I shake my head again. No. Josh is already too tired and sad to interrogate him. I need to find the right time and place to ask him questions but not now.

Not now that everything's falling apart.

I lean over Tyler and kiss his forehead. I see how his chest rises and falls simultaneously and it hurts. It hurts to see him like that. I wish I could do something but I know I can't.

"Stay strong, Tyler." I hold his hand again, tears on my eyes. "Stay strong for us."
