The ambulance took Josh to the hospital, I went with him. Neither of us said anything about Tyler, it was a 'bar fight' according to us. Josh was going to be fine the doctors said.
I decided to walk around the hospital to clear my head. Mexican hospitals were a lot busier than American hospitals maybe it was because we were in New Mexico and there were a lot of parties going on in the summer. I was just guessing. I walked down a long corridor - I came to a door that had the name 'Samual Gregory' on it. Which was weird because that was my dads first and last name. Last time we spoke he told me he was in New Mexico. I looked through the window and....My dad was laying in the bed with wires and tubes coming in and out of him. I opened the door slowly and walked into the room. He opened his eyes quickly.
"Aspen?" He said softly.
"Dad?" I said.
"Aspen what are you doing here."
"My uh fiancée is on tour."
"You're getting married?"
"Yeah but you wouldn't know would you."
"Please don't be like that Aspen."
"Well you walked out on us and never looked back."
"That wasn't my choice." I looked at him in with one raised eyebrow.
"Sure dad." I was about to leave when he spoke up.
"Aspen Elizabeth Gregory!" He made me jump. I looked at him with disbelief.
"You actually remember my name."
"I never forgot." He said smiling. I just looked at him shaking my head and smiling.
"You have my eyes." He spoke so softly; just like when I was a little girl.
"Pen your mum made me leave." I stopped smiling instantly.
"No you're lying." I started shaking my head and my breathing quickened.
"Listen Aspen, I don't know why but one day she just flipped out and told me to go and never come back."
"She wouldn't have done that!"
"She did! I tried to get a hold of you she wouldn't let me."
"No! No you're lying!" I ran out of the room. I couldn't think straight.
"Aspen!" He called after me but I kept running. I ran out of the hospital and fell to my knees; I put my forehead on the ground, wrapped my arms around my body and just cried. People just stared. I felt a hand on my back, they lifted me up into sitting position and pulled me to their chest. I kept my eyes shut and just cried. I didn't care who this person was. I couldn't move.
"Shh, Shh, I've got you." This voice sounded soft and comforting. I opened my eyes and I was looking at the ground.
"Tyler?" I sobbed.
"No, it's Josh."
I didn't pull myself away, I closed my eyes and let him comfort me.
When I had calmed down we went back to the hotel and I told Josh everything. Not only about my dad but about Tyler and how I couldn't even look at him earlier that night; I told him that he pushed me into the bedside table and cracked my head open. I saw Josh was happy that I could barely look my fiancée in the eye but disgusted that he was capable of such horrific things.
"I think I'm going to go home." I said sadly.
"I think that would be best."I got back to my hotel room and Tyler was sat at the end of the bed holding a razor blade.
"What are you doing!" I yelled. He didn't even flinch.
"Tyler!" He barely acknowledged me. I walked over there and saw a small puddle of blood on the floor and a cut on Tyler's wrist. I took the razor blade out of his hand and lead him to the bathroom. It was as if he was in autopilot mode.
I sat him on the edge of the bath and cleaned up his wound. He winced every time I touched the cut.
"Tyler you need to stay still." He looked up at me with his big brown eyes and I saw the tears start to form. I stroked his cheek then continued to disinfect the slit on his arm.
"I'm sorry." He said quietly.
"Tyler I'm gonna go home." I sighed. He just looked back down at his arm.
"Tyler I'm sorry I just need to talk to my mum and you need to talk to Josh." Once I finished with his wrist I got up and started to pack.
He came up behind me, wrapped his arms around my stomach and rested his chin on my shoulder.
"Tyler can you please just get off of me? I'm leaving for the airport in an hour. I'll text you when I get home." I pushed him off of me and left the room. I wasn't even out of the hotel before I got a text from him. 'Is this it?'
I locked my phone and got in the taxi. I didn't even know the answer.______________________
