A/N: tsk tsk tsk...Laura Dun, you boutta get TOLD

TYLER'S POV:

Josh and I had a simple wedding but I think I have figured it out.  
I'm not going to make it.  I've come to terms with it.  The doctor wouldn't have had us get married if I was going to make it.  So, oh well.  I guess I'll just...I just won't make it.  And I mean, after so long of having self-deprecating thoughts, this is what you'd think I want. But I don't.  Because I'm in love.  

Little Joshy only married you because he knows you'll die so what is there to lose?
He married me because he loves me
*laugh* that's cute
You're a real asshole, you know that?
Someone's feeling cranky.  Wanna go sleepy?

Stop DOING THAT. 
doing what? letting you sleep
No, MAKING me sleep. 
That's not going to stop anytime soon

"Tyler, you have a visitor" Doctor Strange said (A/N: Yes, I did.  He's lit) 

"Okay" I spoke.  A brunette woman walked into the room
"Hi, I'm Laura.  Laura Dun" She spoke, holding out a hand

I shook it as anger boiled up inside me.  I had A LOT to say to this woman.  

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I asked
"Uhm, nothing" she said, surprised
"Well, something in your head must be pretty effed up for you to just leave your son like that.  Especially when your son is someone as amazing as Joshua Dun" I said

She looked down shamefully
"I mean, he doesn't have any parents.  Well, he has my mom, who loves him more in a minute than you do every year" I said
"I-"she started, but I wasn't done yet

"You know your kid needs therapy, right? He's pretty depressed.  You helped do that to him, you know?  He and I are two messed up married guys" I said
"Married? He's 17" she said
"And I'm dying of Cancer...there wasn't a lot of opportunity" I snapped at her

"Josh is such a nice guy.  Through all the shit you've put him through, he's the nicest person I've ever met.  He's such an amazing guy and I'm so lucky to have him.  You were lucky to have him.  But then you threw him out.  You didn't even want him.  Even though he's so perfect. I know, it's impossible to be perfect and him and I are far from it.  We're broken people.  But I still love him.  He might be broken but he doesn't act like it.  He needs help but he's always there to help.  How does that seem fair?  When I just need a distraction, I got to my mom.  Or even Josh.  But he didn't have a mom to go to.  So I lent my time.  We distracted each other.  But I know he wasn't fully distracted.  I write music.  Upbeat sounds, sad lyrics.  That's how Josh is.  At first glance, he seems fine.  But if you really pay attention, you can see the hurt and broken in his eyes.  And you've never looked in them long enough to see it.  You're a bad mother, Laura.  A bad mother with a great son" I ranted.  I looked up at her and she was crying.  

"You're right" She said "I should have been there for him.  I was just scared".  Of course.  Of-fucking-course she has an excuse.

"Su-" I started but she cut me off

"There is no valid excuse to what I did.  I was scared I wouldn't be good enough.  I was scared that if I got too close, he would have the same mental issues I have.  Well, as it seems, he does and I didn't even help" She said

"I would LOVE to be able to even forgive you a little bit but I can't.  You've even said mean things to your son.  What the hell is that about?" I asked

"I don't know. You're right" she said, hanging her head with shame
