'STUPID!'
"No."
'YES!'
"No."
'YOUR SUCH AND IDIOT TYLER!'
"No!"
"Shh. Tyler your okay."
"Sorry. Blurrys being annoying."
'THE ONLY ONE WHO'S BEING ANNOYING IS YOU!'
I closed my eyes and sighed.
Josh placed a tiny kiss to my hair.
"I hate this Josh. Why can't he just go away? I want him to go away."
"I know baby. I don't know why he can't just leave. I wish he would leave."
'WELL YOU BETTER START GETTING USED TO ME CAUSE IM NOT GOING ANYWHERE!!'
A quiet sob passed my lips.
"Shh. Everything will be okay."
"When?"
"What?"
"When will it be okay Josh? When?"
"I don't know Ty. I don't know."
'IT'LL NEVER BE OKAY!!!!'
"SHUT UP!"
'NOOO!!!!'
I clenched my eyes shut.
"Go away. Please go away. Leave me alone. Please."
'NOT HAPPENING!'
"I can't.."
"You can't what?"
"I-i can't do this. I can't do this anymore. I c-can't."
"Don't say that Tyler."
"I can't do it Josh! I just can't!"
"Tyler stop it."
'JOSH DOESN'T ACTUALLY CARE! HE WISHES YOU WOULD DIE!'
"I can't. I can't. I can't. Stop. Stop it. Stop. I can't. I can't. Make it stop. Make it. Make it stop. Make it stop. Now! Stop!"
"Tyler! Tyler calm down!"
'JOSH THINKS YOUR WORTHLESS! HE AGREES WITH ME! YOU SHOULD JUST KILL YOURSELF! DO IT! DO IT NOW!!!!'
"No! No! No! Stop! Stop it! Shut up! Shut up! Now! Be quiet! Quiet! Shut up! Stop! Stop! stop!"
"Tyler! Breathe!"
'GONER! GONER! YOUR A GONER TYLER!!'
"NO! STOP! STOP! NOW! STOP IT!"
"Shhh hey hey stop screaming everythings fine."
"NO!!!!"
"Tyler. Tyler listen to me."
"No! Get away from me!"
I kicked my legs and struggled to get away from Josh.
Josh grabbed my wrists and tried to pull me back toward him.
I screamed.
"Tyler! Stop screaming its okay!"
"NO!"
One of Josh's hands moved to my elbow to get a better grip while the other remained around my wrist.
"Tyler calm down! Please! Its okay!"
"NO! Go away! Leave me alone!"
'RUN! LEAVE THE ROOM!"
I finally pried my hands out of Josh's grip, tumbling back slightly and ran to the door, opening it and trying to run out.
Josh grabbed me from behind before I got out of the door.
"NO!!!!! LET GO!"
"TYLER STOP!"
I wiggled around trying to get out of his grip, I was failing.

Josh used one of his hands to press the buzzer a few times before wrapping it back around my waist.
"NO! JOSH STOP IT! LEAVE ME ALONE! LET GO!"
I swung my arms around, my elbow hit Josh in the face then he let go, cursing under his breath and bringing his hand up to his nose.
I ran.
My sock feet hitting the floors of the hallway.
"TYLER!"
Josh yelled after me.
I turned a corner only for a few guards to spot me and run at me.
I panicked and ran the other way.
"CODE 9! COMMENCE LOCK DOWN!"
The PA system rang through my ears as I continued running.
I looked back to see about 10 or more guards chasing after me.
I hit into something and fell to the ground.
Dr. James quickly bent down and grabbed my wrists before I got the chance to run away.
"NO!!! STOP IT!"
"Tyler stop this right now!"
"LET GO!"
"That's not going to happen."
I stood up and ripped my hands from his grip and pushed past him continuing to run.
"TYLER!"

I couldn't breathe at this point.
My lungs were on fire.
Sweat ran down my forehead.
But I continued to run.
That is until I was tackled to the ground.
I let out a noise of pain.
The guard who tackled me landed on my rib cage and my leg twisted a weird way.
I repeatedly gasped from the air being knocked out of me.
"Get off." I croaked.
"No." the guard replied.
"Hurt- hurting- off- please."
I managed to get out, my eyes screwed shut and face scrunched in pain.
The guard didn't move.
He sat on my stomach pinning my wrists beside me head.
The only sounds I was making now were soft squeaks, gasps, wheezes and whimpers.
Josh and the rest of the guards along with Dr. James ran around the corner and slowed to a stop upon seeing I was stopped.
"Off- get- off- please- please."
I felt tears running down my face.
The guard still didn't move.
Everyone was trying to catch their breath.
"H-urt- o-ff- please."
Josh's head snapped up when he heard that I was hurt.
He ran over and pulled the guard off me.
I rolled onto my side and curled into a ball.
More pain filled noises fell from my lips.
Josh gently placed his hand on my back.
I flinched.
"Hey. Hey. Your okay. What happened? Where are you hurt?"
I whined.
Once Dr. James had caught his breath he walked over and kneeled in front of me.
He tried to roll me onto my back but I winced and he removed his hand.
"Tyler what hurts? Show me where."
"L-eg- Ch-est-"
"What leg and where on your chest?"
"Left- leg- Ribs-"
"Okay can you lay on you back?"
I slowly rolled onto my back.
Dr. James gently grabbed my leg and rolled up my pant leg.
I heard gasps but I didn't open my eyes.
Next Dr. James lifted up my shirt.
More gasps.
"Okay Tyler don't move."
I sniffed as Dr. James instructed someone to get a few nurses.
Josh wiped my tears.
I opened my eyes and looked at him.
His nose was bloody.
"So-rry."
"For what?"
"Nose."
"Oh. It's okay don't worry about it. I'm okay."
"Hurts Josh."
"I know. Your gonna be okay though."
"Hurts to br-eathe."
"Shh I know."

A few nurses came running down the hall with a stretcher.
I was lifted off the ground and onto it.
Then I was wheeled off somewhere, I don't know where cause I got sleepy and passed out.

°~°

When I woke up I was in my room, laying on the bed.
Josh was asleep on the other side of the bed.
"Josh?"
I poked his shoulder.
He rolled over to look at me.
"Hey Ty. How you doing? Are you okay? Your not in any pain are you?"
"My leg and chest kinda hurt."
"Okay. Want anything?"
"No but what happened? Like why does my leg and chest hurt?"
"You don't remember?"
"....should I?"
"Yes."
"...well I don't."
"Oh.. Uh... Okay... Well I guess blurry was acting up and then you got mad and tried to leave the room. I grabbed you in attempt to stop you but you just elbowed my nose and kept running then the next thing I know your laying on the ground after being tackled by a guard saying your hurt.. Then they took you somewhere and yeah."
"Oh.."
"Oh and they said you have a fractured rib and your leg twisted when you got tackled and you landed on it in a weird way so that's why they hurt."
"...oh... I remember now.."
"Okay."
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay."
"It hurts when I breathe."
"Yeah I know."
I went to roll over to get closer to Josh but he stopped me.
"Dr. James said you have to stay on your back."
"Oh... I want to hug you though."
"I know I want to hug you too but I don't want to hurt you anymore then you already are."
I nodded.
"I don't like the guard that tackled me.... He's mean."
"He was just trying to get you to stop running he wasn't trying to hurt you."
"But he did then he wouldn't get off when I told him he hurt me which made it hurt more."
Josh sighed.

"I'm hungry."
"Okay uh.. I don't know if your allowed to get up.."
"Well buzz thing thingy and ask."
Josh nodded and did just that.
When the guard came he said I could go but I just had to be careful.
Josh helped me out of the bed.
It hurt.
We then made our way to the cafeteria.
