Blurry's the one - twenty one pilots // Tyler Joseph

12 - worth it

Anna's POV
-
I sat in the waiting room by myself in this old wooden chair at the hospital. The scent here brought instant flashbacks, fuck I hated here so much. but Tyler needed a few X-rays for his arm cause he couldn't move it, so I tried my best to ignore the feeling.

Josh is the only one here besides me. It was currently one in the morning, too. Tyler begged us basically not to tell anyone until tomorrow cause he didn't wanna make a scene at this time.

I just can't believe he got himself beat up because of me. ME. I'm so stupid, I should've just stayed home. I'm affecting everyone around me all the time, I should just learn to keep myself away..

It really was all my fucking fault. We shouldn't be here. I picked at my scars closing my eyes. This fight was much brutal than mine, I could only imagine how it all started. I begin to hear someone around the corner coming.

Josh smiles at me lightly returning from the vending machines, he had snacks in his hand and a two bottles of water.

He hands me one, "oh thank you." I looked up grabbing it, smiling shortly before it fades by the second. He sat beside me laying the snacks on the other empty chair beside him.

He lets out a silent sigh, "Don't be so hard on yourself.." He spoke delicately. His words made me break a little inside. I didn't even know how to respond.

"Tyler doesn't do these type of things just cause he feels like it" he looked at me with soft eyes.

I let out a short breath, "..ya but technically if it wasn't for me.. I-I, Ugh none of this would've happened." I could barley speak not finding the right words. I was never good at opening up to people.. Like at all.

Josh looked down silently. "I get that but Tyler must've felt deeply about this one, I've never seen him do such a thing in our whole friendship existence." He seemed honest about this. Why me though?

I eyed the white walls blankly, "I don't know.. But he still didn't deserve this," I glance at Josh's knuckles that are slightly bruised with a purple color. "Not even you josh."

He let the tiniest chuckle out, "Ah don't worry about me. I'd do it in a heartbeat to protect the ones I care for." His words was so pure, and bright.

"The world needs more people like you josh," a faint smile formed on my face. Josh nodded, "I'm josh, and I approve this message" he said in a joking voice.

I couldn't help but laugh, it was so random but I loved it. I can see why Tyler and him were friends, and I've only met him just tonight.

"But seriously on a real note.. Don't think it's all your fault," he got serious again, "No one. not even me, could've prevented this from happening." He really was healing me in a way.

"Don't do it. Ok?" He asks me quietly. And before I could do of say anything we hear someone enter the room, it was tyler and a nurse. I stand up fast.

His face was half swollen, his lip had a dark red scar on the side. In this lighting I saw it all. It was heartbreaking.

"Everything okay?" Josh spoke to the nurse lady, and tyler remain his eyes on me. I stared back with sad eyes. I just wanted to talk to him now.

"Yes he will be fine, he has a sprained wrist that could be easily broken still, so you gotta lay off any rough activities for a couple weeks," as she talked she glanced at tyler.

"Ok, thank you" Tyler nodded weakly, "Your prescription, for pain killers," she hands tyler a slip of paper.

"Thanks" tyler mutters tucking it away in his back pocket. "Ok well, take it easy, have a goodnight guys!." The nurse slowly walked away waving. She was incredibly friendly it made me think.
