(my most cheesiest bit so far.  excuse my terrible writing skills.)



"Josh? Can you hear me, Josh?"

Josh opened his eyes a little bit.

"Josh! Josh oh my word, you scared the crap out of me! You can't do that. I love you too much, okay Josh?"

"I....I'm sorry Ty. I... I.... I couldn't m....m....make it, Ty."

"Josh. Oh, Josh. Oh, Josh. I love you, okay. I love you Josh."

"Hey...Ty....d...don't cry." Josh raises a shaking arm to wipe a tear from Tyler's cheek.

Tyler brushes Josh's redish hair out of his face.

"It's going to be okay Josh. You're going to be okay."

"but... ty.... I don't want to be okay. I want to go. I want to be free. I was... so.... close."

"Josh...... no. the ambulance will be here soon.  josh, it's going to get better, okay?"

"wh...when?"

"I don't know Josh. maybe it's not. I don't care. isn't there always the hop for tomorrow, whether or not you can see it?  I wouldn't be alive if it weren't for you, and if you give up, I don't think I'll be able to make it. we need you here. I need you here. please don't take your life away from me. stay alive, stay alive for me."  Tyler breaks down in tears once more.  His eyes cloud as he tries to block out the possibility of losing Josh, his boyfriend, his best friend.  Tears roll down his face and slowly drip off his chin onto Josh's old, thin sweater.
