Andy's pov

After Rye's scan, he got wheeled out and into the ICU (intensive care unit) to be monitored whilst the scan results come back. I held his hand as I sat next to him, he hasn't woken up but he was alive and that was the main thing. "Rye baby, Its Andy, I'm here" I smiled quietly, some tears falling down my cheeks but I wiped them away and ran my thumb over his hand. "I know it was my fault you did it, but I promise I will get better, I will go back to the hospital, I will eat 10 big mac's or anything but please just know I am here and I will never leave again" I sobbed into his chest.

He had a oxygen mask on his face still as he could breath on his own but just little breaths so he just needs a little bit of oxygen to help him out. Mum walked in and smiled at me. "Hey And" she smiled and hugged me. "Maybe do you wanna go home for the night, its late" She asked but I shook my head. "I can't leave him again, never again" I said and looked at him, black bruises around his neck where the rope was. The nurse came in and said that he had no sign of brain damage which was good.

"Alright but Brooklyn and Jack want to meet with you in the morning, maybe I could get you some dinner?" She asked. "Um sure, that would be great" I smiled and she nodded, walking out of the room and down the hall. "See baby, I will eat, right here in front of you and then sit here all night, not once going to the toilet... I promise" I smiled as mum came back with a burger and chips from burger king. I thanked her and started to eat like it was my last meal on earth. "Woah Andy, good job buddy but slow down, don't make yourself sick" She smiled and I nodded, slowing down.

After dinner, mum gave me a bag she got me when she got some dinner so I had some new clothes. I said goodbye to mum and she left. They nurses brang in a pull out bed for me since I was Lesley Fowlers son so they all knew me. I heard a groan behind me and I turned around to see Rye's eyes open and looking around. I smiled. "Hi baby" I smiled and walked over to him. "W-Where a-are w-we?" he croaked out. He tried to take his mask off but I rushed over and held it on. "Babe we can't take it off, we are in the hospital" I smiled and he groaned, throwing his arms on the bed like a toddler.

"Rye babe, it helps you breath" I smiled and he soon nodded. "What happened?" He asked me looking confused. "Well... Babe some things happened that we can talk about later, maybe with a counsellor but for now you need some rest" I smiled and kissed his head. "Why does my throat hurt so badly" He groaned as I pulled up the blankets over him. I started to tear up at the events of this evening. "Like I said baby, we will talk later babe" I replied and walked over to my bed. "Can you sleep in here with me?" He asked quietly. I looked at him and he looked down. "don't worry" He said and rolled over so his back was facing me.

"I'll just go and tell the nurse your awake and needs some pain meds" I sigh and walked down the hall to the nurses station. "Hey Lou, Um Rye's awake" I smiled and she nodded. "He also needs some pain meds so is he able to have some?" I asked. "Yes Andy, I will bring some in now" She smiled and I nodded, walking back to Rye's room. "Rye" I said and he hummed. "Are you mad? I will sleep in your bed if you want me to" I sigh but he just shrugged and hissed at the pain in his neck.

I sigh and sat on my bed. Soon Lou came in and handed Rye the meds. He swallowed them with some water, him only making a little noise from the pain. Once Lou left the room for us to go to bed, I looked at Rye and he looked at me, it was silent. "What do you remember?" I asked and he thought for a minute. "Since you left school to the hospital, since I left you because I felt like shit that I failed you" He responded and looked down. "Ryan you didn't fail me, I failed you because I lied" I said and sat on his bed.

"Andy what happened after, tell me please" he looked at me with puppy eyes and I sigh. "I can't Rye because I don't wanna cause another episode but I will tell you everything tomorrow when we are with somebody who knows how to deal with the situation" I replied and he looked down. "I tried to kill myself again didn't I" He said, 1 lonely tear falling down his cheek. "Fine, yes you did but it was my fault because I ran away from the hospital again and you tried to find me, I don't know but it must have gotten to much for you and I caused this I'm so sorry" I said and walked over to my bed.
