I watched the show intently from backstage. His music really spoke to me and made me feel like I wasn't alone; like I wasn't the only person who fought this battle with my mind.
When Tyler finished his show he took me back to his dressing room and looked directly into my eyes, I got lost in his beautiful big brown eyes; I was stuck in a daze when he finally said something:
"You have sad eyes." He pointed out.
"How can you tell?" I asked.
"I just can."
"Oh"
"Why are you so sad Aspen?" This was the first time he had ever called me by my real name; it was clear to me that it was a very serious moment.
I turned my head and looked at the ground.
"Hey." He said and lifted my head up with his index finger gently under my chin. He ran his fingers through my hair and left his hand placed carefully on the side of my head.
"You can talk to me." We locked eyes again and it felt like the whole world had stopped and we were the only 2 people left on the planet.
"My ex.... He uh.... Raped my 15 year old sister." That was the hardest thing I had ever had to say.
"I am so sorry. Is she okay?" He asked.
"Um yeah just... He got her pregnant."
"Oh my god. Is she keeping the baby." I ft myself start to cry, I started to shake and he could see me starting to panic.
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked. Breath okay, I get these moments too." He pulled me close to his chest. I cried even more; all of those memories started flooding back, those nights of me sat alone in my room the knife to the left of me a puddle of my tears and blood in front of me making me feel so ashamed of what I had done.
I put my hand on my torso and felt the scars, felt the pain.
When Tyler saw what I was doing he took my hand and placed it on his thigh.
"You're not the only one with scars." He said. I could feel his scars, they felt similar to mine, like we were the same person.
"Thank you." I said.
He wiped my tears away with his thumb. We stared into each others eyes and leaned in; I could feel us getting closer.
*ping*
It was a message from Sydney.
'Pen SOS I need your help right now!' My face dropped and my whole body wrenched. I got up and grabbed my bag.
"I'll text you!" I yelled running out the door.
"Oh okay." Tyler whispered. He put his head in his hands and sat there doing nothing.
