Tyler's POV
I leave Josh to rest on my couch and go up to the attic to find a blow up mattress for him. To get there there is just a ladder that you pull down and a small hole you climb up. Not very safe.
I climb up with ease and search the whole attic, eventually I find the mattress and a pump. I attempt to climb down but it's hard as I can't see where I'm putting my feet.
Josh's POV
When Tyler leaves I snuggle into the sofa and try to sleep, all I can think about is Tyler, he's just too kind, letting me stay at his for a while. He really does care about me. I care about him.... a lot.
Eventually I drift off to sleep, feeling safe and thinking about how things will get so much better now that I'll have Tyler by my side.
*CRASH*
I suddenly wake to the sound of a huge crash, "Tyler? Tyler! You okay?" I call upstairs.
No response. I stagger off the sofa and make my way upstairs, still calling Tyler's name.
As soon as I get upstairs I see him, he was lying at the bottom of a ladder, "Tyler?" I call again.
As I get closer I notice the carpet around him was soaked in a red substance. Immediately I run over to him, he has a massive cut on his forehead, which was gushing out blood.
"Tyler? Tyler! Wake up!" I shout whilst shaking him. He's unconscious.
Unsure of what to do I take off my shirt and hold it against his forehead. The blood just keeps coming, it won't stop. I take a closer look at the cut.... it's quite deep, he needs stitches.
I rush back down the stairs to look for a phone, eventually I find the landline and call for an ambulance, there's no way I could take him to the hospital by myself.
I go back to Tyler and stay with him, waiting for an ambulance.
"Tyler everything is going to be okay," I whisper into his ear, I know he can't hear me.
I rest his head on my lap, holding him close to me, still holding my shirt to his forehead.
"Everything will be okay...." I say again, "just hang in there Ty... you're all I have."
I plant a soft kiss on his head. He is all I have.
