Chapter Fourteen

Tyler was left feeling numb and violated. He was lying there, motionlessly and with his pants partly down. Justin had fled when someone pulled up to the sidewalk and screamed at him to stop.

He kept replaying what happened through his mind all the while Vic and Kellin were helping him home. He kept thinking of how everything went down and started crying again.

"Tyler? Tyler relax, okay? Vic and I are gonna bring you home and Josh is on his way. Just take deep breaths." Kellin said, trying to get Tyler to calm down. It didn't work though and Tyler curled up in a ball on the backseat of the car, continuing to cry. He just wanted Josh to hold him and to know he was there for him.

It was hard for Kellin to actually get Tyler's address considering Tyler was a ball of emotion and couldn't even form sentences on account of how much he was crying but soon enough he got it and Vic quickly made his way to his home.

Tyler hadn't calmed down one bit the entire time but at least he was now in the comfort of Josh's home. He was lying down on the couch and sobbing when Josh barged through the front door, making Tyler shoot up with wide eyes.

"Tyler?! Where is he?!" Josh yelled, frantically. He absolutely knew he shouldn't have let Tyler goon his own. He felt solely responsible. "Oh, Tyler!" He breathed, running over to his crying boyfriend and picking him up bridle style.

"What happened?!" Josh demanded. He was more than furious but knew he had to protect Tyler for now.

"Firstly, calm down, alright? All we know is Justin did something to Tyler. Vic pulled up as soon as he saw Tyler lying there and, when he got out, Justin ran. He chased him for about half a block before he got away in a car." Kellin briefly explained. Tyler's crying softened but he was just holding onto Josh now with tears silently running down his red cheeks.

"Is that true?" Josh asked Vic. He nodded and Josh accepted, bring Tyler up to his room. He lied him down on the bed and kissed the top of his head, avoiding his bruises before going back downstairs. When he got down there he saw Vic and Kellin anxiously waiting in the kitchen.

"Hey, he okay?" Vic asked, standing up. Josh shrugged.

"I haven't talked to him yet. He's tired and will probably need an Aspirin when he wakes up." He expressed. "Listen, you guys can stay here for now. I don't mind and neither will my mom. She'll be here in about two or three hours."

"Alright. We're gonna go get food and bring it back here, that okay?" Kellin asked. Josh agreed and sent them on their way to pick up some Chinese food.

Tyler had taken a three hour nap before he woke up and Josh was sitting on the opposite side of the bed, looking at him with watery eyes. The tears weren't from sadness though. They were from anger and hatred. Hatred towards himself for letting him walk on his own and thinking everything was okay when he didn't get a call from Tyler. Hatred towards Justin for even laying one fucking finger on his baby and hurting him so much that he had bruises all along his torso, chest and face.

"Josh?" Tyler said quietly. He missed him and when he saw him looking as if he was on the brink of tears, he wanted to cry too. "What's the matter?"

"Nothing, Ty. Come here." Josh told him, motioning for Tyler to sit in his lap so he could hold him. Tyler accepted and got out from under the covers, crawling over to Josh and laying his head on his chest, hugging him tightly.

"I'm so sorry, baby. I never meant for you to be hurt the way you are now." Josh said, securely holding Tyler. He never wanted to let him go.

"It's not your fault, Joshy. It's no one's fault but Justin's." He said.
