Echo (Joshler)

Chapter 4

~Still Josh's Pov~

I looked up and I couldn't believe what I saw. Tyler was sitting up and looking around. I started crying because I didn't know what else to do. He finally looked over at me and started crying himself. "Tyler! You're awake!" My feet couldn't get there fast enough. I just wanted to wrap him up in a hug and never let go. "Josh! I missed you so much! Thank you so much." We didn't let go each other until the doctor and a couple nurses walked through the door. They checked Tyler's vitals and gave him the clear. "Tyler will be able to go home tomorrow, but we be on strict bed rest for the time being." Tyler and I just nodded and went back to what we were doing. We both ended up falling asleep in the tiny and really uncomfortable hospital bed. 

~2 hours later~ 

I slowly opened my eyes to see Tyler still soundly sleeping next to me. I just laid there and admired my soon to be fiance (hopefully). I slowly got out of the bed, laying a kiss on his head. Then I made my way down to the gift shop. 

~Tyler's Pov~ 

I slowly opened my eyes to see the empty space that was once occupied by the love of my life. That's when the door to my room opened and in walked Josh with a rose. A rose in one hand and a little box in the other. He put the box in his pocket and brought the rose over to me. Josh grabbed my hand and helped me sit on the edge of my bed. That's when he got down on his knee and looked me in the eyes. "Tyler Robert Joseph, I love you so much and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. You have been there for me through so much and never left my side. I fell in love with you the first time I saw you. In that moment, I knew you were the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Will you marry me?" I was past crying at this point and all I could say was yes. "Yes! Joshua Willam Dun, yes!" He wrapped me in a hug and whispered sweet nothing in my ear. I couldn't believe I was lucky enough to have Josh in my life. "I love you so much Joshua Willam Dun and I will for the rest of my life." " I love you so much too Tyler Robert Joseph and I will for the rest of my life as well." 

~The Next Day~ (Josh's Pov)

Today was the day that Tyler gets to finally go home! He will have to be on bed rest for a while, but as long as he is finally home I don't mind. The doctor pulled me aside while Tyler was asleep to explain how the next few months will go. It would be very tough to ease Tyler into eating and hydrating normally again. There would be fights and mood swings because of the stress he will be under. "Josh, the next few months are gonna to be some of the toughest months you will have. Tyler will be put on a strict diet to regulate his food intake and hydration. He will experience stress and mood swings because the pressure him and his body will be under. Don't take it personally when this happens. Things will be said, but take them to heart. He doesn't mean it." I had to take all this information in and try to remember this. I am definitely willing to do anything it takes, no matter how hard it gets. 

I walked back into the room to see Tyler just waking up. I had his stuff packed in the car already and he was checked out. Now that he was awake, we could finally head home. On the car ride home, all I could think about was how to put up a mental block to get through the tough months to come. I looked over at Tyler and couldn't help but fall in love with him all over again.
