Fall Away: Joshler

Scared

(Tyler's pov)

Tonight did not go so well. I hardly got any sleep and I was so afraid my heart would go out of sync.

After waking up in the middle of the night, I went over to check my blood pressure. It was low. Which meant I was okay.

I laid back on my bed and sighed.

Thank god. I thought.

Instead of going to school on my own, I wanted to go with Josh. So I got up real early, got dressed, and snuck out of the house to Josh's house.

When I got there, Josh looked out his window and saw me at his front door. I looked up at him.

"Hey babe." I said real quietly but loud.

Josh waved and smiled.

"I'll come down to let you in." He said before leaving the window.

I smiled and nodded.

I went downstairs and opened the door for my dear boyfriend Tyler. The way he was dressed was so beautiful. I touched his cheek and gently gave him a kiss.

"I'll let you in." I told him. "But you gotta be quiet. My parents are sleeping."

Tyler smiled and nodded.

I took his hand and led him into my house and upstairs to my room. After he walked in, I quickly shut the door. Him and I sat on my bed.

"So tell me why you want to come with me to school?" I asked him.

"Last night, my heart hurt real bad. He said. I was so scared. So I checked my blood pressure. And it was fine."

He placed his hand on my cheek.

"I'm terrified Josh." He said. "Will you promise me to watch over me?"

I had a tear come rolling down my cheek.

"I will Ty." I told him. "Believe me I will."

Tyler laid down on my shoulder and I held him for a while. Tyler is ill. Cardiomyopathy is hurting him. And he'll most likely die if not corrected.

I didn't want to let him go. I let him lay there and I thought about him.

Eventually, he fell asleep. I laid down on my bed and I placed him on my chest. I went to sleep as well.

Sleeping for a few hours with Josh made me forget about my weaknesses. I stopped feeling scared for my life.

Josh meant everything to me. He is the reason why I'm still alive. I don't care if I'll die today or tomorrow. As long as I care for myself, I may live. I pray to god that I'll live.

Hopefully.
