3Rd Person Point of View

Joey swept Tyler off of his feet, and took him outside in the hall. As much as Tyler was fighting Joey, he wouldn't let Tyler break his own heart. "Mom!" Tyler screamed. Doctors and nurses gave them strange looks, but Joey didn't care. Joey sat the whimpering Tyler down in a chair. "Tyler, baby." Joey said, crying with him. "Joey help me." Tyler whimpered. Joey wrapped his arms around the fragile boy, and he buried his face into the crook of Joey's neck. Tyler was in shock. He didn't believe it. This was almost like the dream. "The doctors can't make a heart start beating again." Tyler sobbed. It only made Joey squeeze him tighter. "Your mom WILL pull through." Joey swore. "How do you know? How do you know she isn't dying in there right now?" Tyler said. Joey didn't know, he didn't have a clue. But Joey couldn't tell Tyler that his mother was going to die. "Tyler, listen to me. I love you more than anything right now. I can't promise anything about your mom, but I do promise this. If your mom dies, I will NOT leave you unless you tell me to." Joey said firmly. Tyler was comforted, but not all the way. Tears were still pouring out of his eyes.

. .

It took two hours until Dr. Scrod came out of the hospital room. Tyler already knew by the look on her face. Sad and uneasy. Tyler put his face in his hands, and Joey rubbed his back. Joey's eyes were puffy and bloodshot. "I'm sorry to say this, but your mom...didn't make it." Dr. Scrod said regretfully. Tyler's breath hitched, and he felt like falling out of his chair. His body went limp and wobbly. Joey grasped Tyler's body, holding him tight, and kissed the back of his head. Dr. Scrod ignored the affectionate action. "So, I know this is quite fast, but we have to talk about insurance and family matters. Since you are her only biological son, her will says you get all her money." The doctor said bluntly. Tyler blinked. "What?" Tyler asked. "She is divorced, right?" The doctor asked. "Yes." "So it's settled."

Tyler was caught off guard. He knew that he would get his mother's money, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. "Okay." Tyler said. "Your mother would have wanted it." A tear rolled down Tyler's cheek. Joey put an arm around him, and Tyler put his head on Joey's shoulder. "Thank you, we'll talk about this later." Joey said quietly. Dr.Scrod nodded, and opened the door to the hospital room. The doctors and nurses were standing gloomily around the bed. They looked at the crying Tyler, and walked out to give the two boys alone time with Tyler's mom. A nurse pulled Joey out in the hall.

"Hi, so aren't you Mr. Oakley's partner?" The nurse asked. "Yes." Joey said. "Okay, so Mr. Oakley needs your assistance financially." The nurse said. "Okay, how so?" Joey asked. The nurse explained to Joey everything, and Joey's face became more and more worrisome. After she was finished, Joey nodded reluctantly. He quietly re-entered the hospital room. Tyler was crouched, holding his mom's hand with his eyes closed. Joey didn't want to bother him, so he just sat next to him re-thinking what the nurse said. "You know what makes me most sad?" Tyler spoke up. "What?" Joey asked. "That she didn't even get to meet you." Tyler whimpered. Joey looked at his feet. "Yeah that's true." He said. "I feel terrible that you have to go through all of this with me." Tyler said. "Hey, a promise is a promise. Who the hell would leave you after something like this?" Joey said.

After a few moments of silence, Joey's phone started to ring. "Do you mind if I take this?" Joey asked. "Yeah, sure." Tyler said. Joey pulled out his phone, and the call was from Shane.
