Feeling

~Josh~
I woke up in the hospital and looked around. "Tyler" I whispered weakly and the nurse walked over. "He's on the other side of the curtain" she told me "I need to see him" I managed to choke out so she opened the curtain before leaving the room.

I laid there staring at Tyler who was laying there almost lifeless. "Tyler" I said but no response. "Wake up please" I begged with tears in my eyes. "I love you Tyler" I said before I started crying.

My mom walked in and saw me laying there with tears pouring down my cheeks. "Baby what's wrong?" She asked me while brushing my hair out of my face. "Tyler" I cried out but he didn't reply. He's not awake. "Shh. I'm sure he'll be ok" she told me soothingly. "I need him mom. He's my only friend" I cried looking at Tyler. "I'm sure you'll have other friends too" she told me and I looked at her like she's crazy. "You don't get it!" I almost yelled but my everything hurts "what do you mean?" She asked confused "mom, I love him! I love Tyler! He means everything to me! I know we've only been together and known each other for three days but I know I love him! He can't be replaced" I cried and my mother, father and siblings stood there shocked. "Josh. Are you gay?" Jordan asked shyly. "Yes. I am. Please let me be closer to Tyler please. I need him" I begged while looking over at Tyler.

I got so panicked that I caused myself to have an anxiety attack. My mom comforted me and gave me water to help me calm down. The doctor gave me some anxiety medicine that I'm supposed to take everyday but forgot about today.

I laid there staring at Tyler. I need him to wake up. I need him right now. How is it that we were in his kitchen messing around and smiling at each other and four hours later I'm in a hospital staring at him sleeping? It's too much right now. I need to see him smile and his perfect hazel eyes. I want to feel his lips against mine. I need to hold his hand and wrap my arms around him. I need to tell him that we will be ok since we have each other. I accidentally drifted to sleep and hoped Tyler would be awake when I woke up.

"Joshua" I heard someone say weakly so I opened my eyes and looked over. "Tyler!" I smiled with a sigh of relief. "I was worried about you" I told him. I badly want to get up and kiss him right now. I saw Tyler's family come in and smile at him. It's the same as everyone. Mom's in tears, dad's trying to be strong and just comfort him while the siblings stand there awkwardly. Tyler didn't care that his family is here. Just like me. Our families don't pay attention to us while we are at home. That's why nobody gives a shit if I'm at home or at Tyler's house or if we are running in the middle of the night.

Tyler and I looked at each other and smiled. I don't care if our families are in here I have to say it. "I love you Tyler" I told him causing Laura and Bill to look at me funny. "I love you too Joshua" Tyler replied. I want to kiss him right now. I need to. "What's going on here?" Kelly asked "they're gay" Jay said causing Zack and Maddison to glare at him. "Explain" Bill demanded and Tyler sighed. "Josh an I are both gay. We've been dating for a few days now" Tyler explained "Tyler why didn't you tell us?" Mom asked "you never pay attention to me anyways. I didn't think you'd care" he replied defensively. His family just went with it and didn't care.

I got the strength to sit up and I hung my legs off the edge of the bed. I placed my bare feet on the cold floor and shivered. I walked over to Tyler and connected our lips.

I pulled away and just stared into his eyes. "I love you Jishwa" he smiled. His smile is so perfect. "I love you too Tybaby" I smirked trying to come up with a cute name for him. He smiled at the nickname I gave him before kissing me again.

The doctor walked in and smiled at me. "Good to see you walking" he told me so I nodded and sat down. "Well Josh seems to be doing good. Broken arm. scrapes, bruises and a concussion. Just bed rest for a week. Nothing else" he told me so I smiled. Then he looked at Tyler "Tyler, you are doing pretty good. Got a bad broken leg, broken arm, scrapes, bruises, a concussion and a cracked rip. Same for you. Bed rest for a week" he said so Tyler nodded "other than that they both need to take four hundred milligrams pain killers twice a day, twelve hours apart and they should be good to recover" the doctor explained so we nodded.

We got released and I was able to walk out fine while tyler was on crutches. I got in my family's car while Tyler got into his.

We got to our houses and I looked at my mom. "Mom, can Tyler be stuck on bed rest in my bed?" I asked and she rolled her eyes before looking at Kelly. "Kelly" she sighed walking over to their driveway. I watched Tyler struggle to get across the grass to where I was standing so I walked over and helped him. "Yeah. I guess. Just no messing around" mom said so I smiled. "Kelly just come by during the day when ever to check on Tyler if you need to" my mom told her as Tyler and I made our way inside.

After Tyler struggled up the stairs we both laid in my bed. I smiled at him before kissing him. "You scared me Tyler" I whispered softly. "I was worried about you. It's my fault this happened" he replied and I shook my head. "Tyler this isn't your fault. You were driving correctly. It's the truck driver's fault" I assured him. "I love you jishwa" he smiled while playing with my hand that doesn't have the cast. "I love you too Tybaby" I told him with a smile. I leaned forward and kissed him. "We are stuck here together for a week" I smiled before moving him closer to me. We both eventually drifted to sleep together.
