* trigger warning *

tyler overlooked the city in front of him.
his legs were dangling off of the tall building he had spotted while running.
tyler had estimated it was five to seven stories high. although, he wasn't completely sure.
tears streaked his tan face.
his tears had stopped. now, tyler just felt completely and utterly empty.
the breeze pushed back tyler's brown hair.
should he jump? should he end it all?
thoughts swarmed around tyler's head like bees.
without josh - tyler felt like he didn't have a purpose in this world.
he couldn't do it.
he couldn't stay alive.
no matter how hard he tried.
he always ended up at the same place.

would he jump in the traffic? or on to the sidewalk that the pedestrians were walking on?
he shook all the thoughts from his head.
he didn't care anymore.
and with that, tyler pushed off the building.

he jumped.

"has anybody seen tyler?" josh yelled into the crowd of people. he started panicking and couldn't stop. he couldn't catch his breath.
everybody was busy dancing and drinking. nobody paid any attention to the boy.
"i fucked up! i'm fucking stupid!" he screamed.

it was two girls who found tyler laying there. both younger, around eighteen or nineteen.
at first, they wanted to leave him there. they didn't want to be asked questions. but then again, this big was dying right before their eyes.
they finally called an ambulance for tyler, who was unresponsive.
within minutes, the sirens were heard and tyler was carefully placed in the ambulance.
he was still alive.
but barely.

tyler had a broken his left rib, left arm, right leg, and fractured his shoulder.
tyler joseph,
was also in a coma.
and showed no signs of waking up.
tyler's phone was going off constantly with texts and calls from josh.
so the hospital decided to contact him.
josh was told about tyler's situation and rushed over as soon as possible.

josh was led to tyler's room.
as soon as he saw the boy, he broke into tears.
the thought of that if any of these machines were to be unplugged, tyler would die, fucked him up.

the line on tyler's machine was steady,
up and down.
up and down,
up and down,

flat.
