~Tyler~
I woke up with Josh and I's limbs tangled together. I smiled at him as he may there sleeping next to me. He's adorable when he sleeps. I heard footsteps in the hallway so I pretended to be asleep and hoped the wouldn't come in here. Just my luck. I heard my door open. After a minute I heard it close again.

I opened my eyes and looked back at Josh. I looked at the time and yawned. It's almost time for my morning run. I lightly kissed Josh and he stirred a little before waking up. "Morning" I whispered and he nodded. I managed to untangle myself from his arms and legs and stood up. "Why are we up?" He yawned and stood next to me. "It's almost time for my morning run and I usually drink a cup of coffee before I leave" I told him so he nodded and kissed me before we went downstairs. My parents are at work. It's Wednesday,

I walked into the kitchen and my siblings were at the table smirking at Josh and I. "How'd you sleep Tyler?" Zack smirked "you were in my room" I scowled and his smirk grew bigger. "I thought you said you aren't gay" Jay snickered. I looked over and Josh and could see him getting nervous. "Listen. You have to swear not to tell anyone including our parents and Josh's entire family about this" I told them seriously and they all nodded. "alright. What do we do if we say anything?" Zack asked "all of you. In closing Maddison have to do one hundred suicide sprints in the two foot snow, in nothing but your under wear and in Maddison's case a bra" I said so they all nodded. We all used suicide sprints and Ohio's cold weather against each other. Usually I just say fifty but this time it's serious. "Deal, our lips are sealed so tell us" Maddison said so I sighed "yes, we are both gay and yes we are dating" I confessed and watched smirks grow on their faces.

I looked at Josh who looked scared. He hadn't said anything. "Relax, they won't say anything" I told him so he nodded. I wrapped my arms around him and felt his tense body relax as he wrapped his arms around me. "I love you" he whispered shakily so I looked him in the eye. "I love you too" I told him then he kissed me.

"Wait so me daring you two to kiss last night wasn't really pay back because you enjoyed it?" Jay asked and I watched Josh smile. "Yeah. Tyler is a great kisser" Josh smiled so I looked at him. I laughed and he hugged me. "Jishwa" I giggled so he looked at me. "Did you call me Jishwa?" He asked so I nodded. "Wow. Couples nicknames" Jay said sarcastically. I laughed and looked at Josh. He leaned forward and kissed me.

I pulled back and smiled. "Oh Tyler I knew I was supposed to tell you something important today" Zack said out of the blue. "What?" I asked with Josh behind me and his arms around my waist. "You have to go to your therapist at noon. Dad left his keys for you so you could drive there. Mom wrote the address down and left it with the keys" Zack explained so I looked at the time. It's eleven fifteen. I better start getting ready.

I grabbed Josh's hand and we went upstairs. I went through my closet and found something to wear. I fixed my hair and looked at Josh who was sitting on my bed. I walked over and kissed him before sitting on his lap. "Do you wanna come with me?" I asked so he nodded.

After Josh got ready I grabbed the keys and put the address in my phone. I began driving to my therapy session.

I was turning at an intersection when suddenly I saw bright lights coming towards me. I tried to get out of the way but it was too late. I blacked out.

I finally opened my eyes and saw blood. I'm inside down. "Josh!" I screamed hoping he'd reply. I looked over and saw him next to me. "Josh" I said again, my voice fading as I felt light headed. I reached over and grabbed his blood covered hand "I love you Tyler" I heard Josh say weakly before I blacked out again.

I was at work when my phone rang. It was an unknown number.
"Hello"
"hello is this Mrs.Joseph? Mother of Tyler Joseph?"
"Yes. Can I help you?"
"Yes, Tyler and a friend are in the hospital after a car accident. I'm so sorry"
"Oh my god! I'll be right there"
"I'm so sorry ma'am" the lady said before I hung up.

I quickly grabbed my stuff and left. I called Zack to see if everyone was ok. He told me that Tyler was with Josh on his way to therapy.

I ran into the hospital and Laura was there too. "Where's my son? Where's Tyler?" I asked frantically. "He's back there ma'am but you can't see him right now he's in critical condition" the nurse said and I began panicking. "What about Joshua?" Laura asked "I'm sorry but he's also in critical condition" she told Laura so we both sat down. I told Bill to pick up the kids and come to the hospital.

Soon my children and husband were sitting in the hospital waiting room. We are all worried about both Tyler and Josh.

I feel like this is my fault. I should've just made him take anti-depressants. I'm more worried about what happens if he loses Josh. It's only been three days but Josh has automatically become his best friend. I'm scared that if he loses Josh then his depression will get worse and he won't live through high school. I don't want my baby do die. I don't know what I would do with out him. I need him. He's my son. I need all of my children.
