Josh.

7

I wake up. It's 3:00 AM. I hear crying. I sit up and listen. I wait about 5 minutes.. the crying only gets harder and louder. I rub my eyes and stand up. I hear a sniffle. It isn't Tyler so it must be.. be.. Dylan? Dylan seemed fine. He wasnt someone who cried much. I walk across the hall and open the door to his room. He looks up. Tears are streaming down his face. He looks away from me.. probably embarrassed.

"josh i cant talk right now.."

"Please Dylan.. please tell me what's going on.."

"I SAID I DON'T FEEL LIKE TALKING."

"Then we won't talk." I sit down on his bed and he gets off. He has all of his own stuff. A kitchen, a bathroom, living room, all sorts of stuff. He shrugs and walks to the bathroom. He locks the door, and I hear him start up again. It's probably just another Hannah problem. He won't get over her.. she killed herself 7 months ago and he holds it against himself. I sit down by the door and listen.

"I cost a girl her life cause.. cause I was.. i was too afraid to l..love her.." he sobs louder.

"Dyl, I'm going to bed. We will talk about this tomorrow."

Poor guy. It hurts me to see him like that. He's been there for me through thick and thin but there isn't much I can do to help him. His memories haunt him. Hannah was a bitch in my opinion, leaving him tapes like that. Fuck her. I climb into bed and realize Tyler is gone.

"Tyler?" I stand up and see that the window is open. I look down and see a boy on the ground.

"FUCK." I run outside. Holy shit. He can't be dead.. he can't be. I look over and see him in a pool of blood.

"Oh god Tyler!! Stay strong!! For me!!"

Dear god let him survive this. Please.. please. I can't call 911 or I'll get arrested but.. maybe it is for the best. I've caused him plenty of issues.. I'll leave him with Dylan. He'll take care of him.. right? I grab the phone and Dylan runs outside holding Alecs hand.

"I GOT THE DOCTOR!!"
Alec is fairly familiar to me. He's Dylans friend, and he is not assosciated with us or anyone bad. He won't work for me and is innocent af but who gives a damn. See if he can save Ty.. oh god i hope he can.
Alec rushes over to Tyler and checks his pulse.

"He's still here. Go get a towel. Get something. Something to lay him on."
Dylan runs inside and comes back with a blanket and pillow. We lift Ty up and set him on it.

"He may not remember much.. maybe not even you.."

I start to cry.

"He.. He won't remember me??"

"It's for the best. He tried to kill himself, Josh."

"Because of me.."

"Look, I'm going to be honest. He isn't strong enough to be with you. By being with you that makes him a target to all sorts of people."

"You're right.."
He bandages Tyler up and cleans his cuts.

"Tyler.. tyler was a cutter?"

"Appears so."

"Poor boy..
Where will we put him?? He can't wake up here."

"I will take him to my house."

"Don't even dare try anything or I'll hunt you down, Alec."

"Wasn't planning on it."

"I'll let him use my guest house.. tell him he was drunk and fell and you took him home and helped him. Say he gave u his address, give him the keys to the ferari, and send him off with 30K."

"K."
I kiss Tylers cheek. I know this is probably the last time I'll get to see him.. it's for the best. I pick him up. He's so cold.. i wrap him in a clean blanket and set him in Alecs car.

"Bye, Dylan."
Dylan waves and Alec speeds away. I cry and walk inside.

"Josh.. I know how you feel.."

"I don't wanna talk about it." I go into my room and lock the door. I shut the window and cuddle up to the kittens. They're all I have left of him. Ace and Charlie, I think they were?? Yes. That's it. I am going to take great care of them. I'll do whatever it takes to protect them..

For Tyler.
