The Silver Lining

"Josh?" The brunette slurred, eyes opening weakly. The sound of a chair scraping tile rang as my feet moved forwards, my hand reaching instinctively for the smaller one on the white hospital bed. "Hey Ty." I whispered, voice hoarse from disuse and crying. The smaller boy looked so fraile and weak, his wrists bandaged up tightly and wrists bound to the bed. "Josh, where am I?" He asked, panic slowly setting in. "The hospital, Tyler. YOu- You tried to-" I cut myself off as the doctor walked in. "Ah, Tyler. Good to see you're awake. I can remove these restraints, so long as you promise that you will not cause harm to me or yourself. Can you do that?" Tyler nodded, and the doctor removed the straps. "My name is Dr. Mason. Tyler, do you know why you're here?" The brunette furrowed his brows, thinking. "I,uh, tried t-to kill myself." He stuttered, tears welling up in his eyes. "Yes, that is correct. You'll be fine, however. Josh, may I please speak to you outside?" I nodded, carefully untangling me and tyler's fingers and followed him out of the stale room.

"Your fiance will be fine, Mr. Dun. However, we will need to keep him for 24 hours to ensure that he is stable enough to leave." I nodded, running a hand through my hair. "And then we can go home, right?"

"Yes, then you can go home."

I smiled softly, walking back in to see Tyler staring out the window. "Hey, baby boy." I whispered, walking over to the bed and wrapping my arms around the weaker boy. Tears spilled from his eyes. "It's all my fault, Joshie. I caused all of this terrible stuff to happen." I grabbed his jaw lightly, turning him to look at me. "No, Tyler. None of this is your fault. You are going to be fine and we are going to get out of this, okay? You just gotta hold out for 24 hours. Can you do that?" The small boy nodded, and I pulled him in for a soft kiss, slow and careful. It felt as though that one kiss was what grounded us. I knew that we would be okay, as long as Tyler could hold out.

-------------------------

Leaving the hospital sucked because Tyler didn't want to wake up and in the end I had to carry him to the car. We didn't tell his family, as we knew his parents would be in shambles, and who knows how Zack would feel. I took him to my house, telling him to stay in the car and I would be right back. He looked confused, but listened anyways. I went up to the door and opened it.

"Mom?" I called into the air, hearing her shuffle in from the kitchen. She had a look on her face that I couldn't place. Was she mad that I came back? I don't know. "I just wanted to, um, say goodbye." She nodded, walking over to me. Her arms wrapped around me and I felt tears prick my eyes. "Please, just don't come back." She whispered, and tears fell down my cheeks as I pulled away from her. She had a somewhat dazed look on her face. "I love you." I whispered as she turned and walked away, leaving me to wipe my tears and walk back out to my car.

"What happened?" Tyler asked, clearly seeing the tearstains on my face.

"Nothing."

"Josh, you were crying." He took my hand. "Let me help."

I shook my head. "It's fine. While you were in the hospital I had some movers move our stuff to the apartment, would you like to see it?" He nodded, skeptical of the fact that I was fine. I shifted the vehicle into reverse and backed out of the driveway of my childhood home.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Oh Josh." Tyler said, gasping as we entered the apartment. It was quite beautiful, complete with a balcony as we were on the top floor. "I love it." He whispered, walking towards the sliding doors and sliding one open to stand on the balcony. He smiled ear to ear, and it was enough to make my heart melt. I walked out, wrapping my arms around his waist and kissing his neck. "I'm glad." I whispered, and he turned around, crashing our lips together in a passionate kiss. And in that moment I knew that this was what life was about. This was my Happy Ending.
