OMG wattpad can get annoying. I had a perfect chapter written out, and when I came back, it was erased!! So frustrated.

Sorry about the shortness of this chapter!

Anyway, this chapter is based off the song: Turning Page by Sleeping at Last

Enjoy!

TYLER'S POINT OF VIEW

I held my breath as the doctor opened the door. My mom was...not okay. She looked pale, but not as bad as the dream. She seemed weak, and hooked up to a lot of machines. "How is she?" I asked. "Better. She is breathing on her own, but that's normal. Her spine is healing properly, but the brain damage is what we're concerned about." The doctor said. I nodded, and looked at Joey. He sadly smiled at me. I took a deep breath. "Are you two her sons?" The doctor asked. "No, I am. He is my...boyfriend." I said. I gave a tiny grin to Joey. "Well great. I'll see you guys later. Press the button if you need anything. My name is Dr. Scrod, or Whitney. Whatever you prefer." Dr. Scrod hung up her clipboard and left. "Boyfriend, huh." Joey said. "Yeah, about that. Joey...I meant to ask you this the other night." I got down on one knee. "Will you be my boyfriend?" I asked, holding his hand. Before I knew it, I was up in the air, and twirled around. "Yes! Finally you asked!" Joey said. I laughed. "Oh my gosh I can't wait to tell the fans." Joey said. "We can focus on that later. Right now...can we focus on my mom?" I asked nicely as possible. Joey calmed down. "Yes, I'm sorry. I got caught off guard." Joey said.

I just shrugged it off. Joey wrapped his hands around my waist, as I held my mom's hand. "She is a pretty lady, Tyler." Joey whispered into my ear. I put my head down. Maybe a little prayer wouldn't hurt. Joey rested his chin on my shoulder, and kissed the side of my neck. After I said everything I needed to say, I turned around and hugged Joey. I was already crying. I promised myself not to get too emotional around him, but that's impossible. Joey sat me down on the chair. He crouched down on his knees, to meet my face. "Tyler, remember what I told you? I will be here no matter what. If you some how loose your mom, you are not alone. Count on your...boyfriend." Joey said. He emphasized the word boyfriend. I cupped his cheek, and brought his eyes up to mine. He looked at me with passion, and admiration. Just like everyone wanted their partner to look at them like. "Maybe...this is fate. Maybe this is happening to bring us closer together." Joey said.

"I love you." I said. Joey took a quick breath. "I love you too." He said, and kissed me. "My life has turned ever since we have been together. Like a book. You are my turning page." Joey said. I giggled. "You know what, I'm going to call my mom right now." Joey said. "And tell her what?" I asked. "Come out." Joey said.

JOEY'S POINT OF VIEW

I held my phone in my hand, I sat next to Tyler on the couch.

"Hey Joey!" My mom answered.

"Hi mom."

"How is your life, and why is this call from Michigan?"

"We'll get there later. Mom, I have something to tell you."

"....okay."

"Mom, do you love me?"

"Yes of course! What kind of question is that?"

"Will you love me no matter what?"

"Yeah. What are you-"

"Mom, I'm gay."

There was a pause.

"I know. Honey, I've known since you said your first word."

"Do you still love me?"
