I was sitting uncomfortably on the hospital chair, biting my lip while tapping my fingers on my knee.

I fainted but after ten minutes I woke up and was in Josh's car, with him driving.

Now he was next to me. Crying silently into his palms.

I leaned over and hugged slightly Josh. "Don't cry... He's not going to di-"

"I know he won't, but he'll try it again. It's making me feel so bad. We had a discussion yesterday about... We had this discussion and I told him that the subject was hurting him, but he was too stubborn to listen, so I told him a lie and he... And he got mad at me and didn't talk for the rest of the night... It's totally my fault Clara... I didn't want to make him suffer I swear I didn't want to..."

I held Josh tighter and caressed his back.

What discussion was it about?

After ten minutes the nurse came out and talked first. "Tyler Joseph?"

We both nodded getting up and she proceed to talk. "He's out of danger, we gave him of the donated blood and now he's recovering. I suggest you, you wait thirty minutes before he gets up. Also one at a time since he's in a state of confusion."

I looked over to Josh and smiled slightly. "See? He's alive... Go in first... I'll wait here..."

Josh sighed deeply and passed a hand through his hair pulling it slightly as well as his lip. "You go first... I need to cool myself before I enter." He said with a hoarse voice.

I immediately went in and felt my heart sink.

He looks so broken.

"Hey, Tyler..." I whispered going near him stopping myself from grabbing his hand.

He doesn't like physical touch. Remember.

"C-Clara? W-What are you doing here?" He said raising his eyebrow.

"What am I not doing here?" I sat down and stared intently at him.

"So it's true?"

"True what Tyler?"

"That you and Josh... That you two..." He seemed lost with his words.

"Came here together for you?" I tried to guess.

"N-Not this... That you two kissed..
a-and then... You know what l-lovers do." His voice cracked constantly.

My eyes went wide.

So this is the discussion?

Oh Tyler.

"No... Tyler I would never... We never kissed, we never touched in that way, we never really talked in a couple's way." I immediately started to explain but we both turned our gaze towards the door where Josh had just entered.

"Ty-" Josh started speaking but Tyler quickly started hissing like an animal. "I'm... Clara, Tyler... I'm absolutely sorry... Tyler it's all my fault... I didn't trust her because... There is something about her which is so... so strange."

I sighed loudly and looked at Tyler.

I don't want to be part of something I'm not in.

"Guys... As much as I hate having a voice in these stuff... It's past... Tyler is living, knows the truth, Josh said sorry even though it will not be the only thing. I won't disappear anymore. And Tyler will be sure to ask the two sides of the stories..." I said and they both stared at me.

Tyler looked so offended and I just couldn't stop but laugh.

"...She's indeed strange Josh... But she's like us... But she wants to live..."

"It's worth it Tyler, have patience and you'll see."
