A New Kind of Drunk (BoyxBoy)

The Puzzle Decodes

I became weary as I ran down the sidewalk of the street that person saw Ty go down with… with… Damn it! With who?! Who the hell is in this “gang”? I knew Nate for a long time but I never knew he had his own violent gang to go along with his disliked traits. What will I do if Ty is in danger? What will I do if he is seriously injured? This would be my entire fault… If any of it were true… It’ll be my entire fault.

“Damn it! Where is he?!” Liz asked when we both stopped to rest. I could see she was as clinched as me to find Ty. I wanted him safe, in front of me with those kind eyes again. I could feel Liz felt the same way. She wanted him safe; in no harm, but my gut… My gut told me it was the exact opposite.

I whipped my forehead to get the sweat out of my eyes. As I opened my eyes I saw four boys run out of an ally. They were all holding some kind of blunt weapon. My eyes bulged out of their sockets. I ran as fast as I could towards the ally.

God no, please, no. As I turned the corner my eyes caught a glimpse of something numb and almost lifeless.

It was Ty. His mouth was covered in blood, his face almost deformed of its normality. Ty’s legs looked almost completely broken of every bone inside. I couldn’t stare at the horrible sight of such a thing. I turned my head immediately. Cried sorrowful tears as Liz ran up to me asking what was wrong.

I pointed at Ty’s body.

Liz Gasped, “Oh my god,” she quickly ran up to Ty, got on her knees and held his head.  “Ty… Ty c’mon, open your eyes, please.” She began crying, repeating over and over again the same words. Eventually my body went numb. I hear nothing but the sadness running through my mind.

This is my entire fault. If I hadn’t yelled at him like that, none of this would have happened. How can I even live now with such guilt? My throat was filled with ice. I couldn’t speak, I didn’t want to speak. I just wanted to forget… and kill myself? That’s right you want to end it all here? It’s all my entire fault… all of it

In the background I could slightly hear an ambulance come. Like the blink of an eye the crew inside the ambulance got a stretcher out the truck, ran to where Ty’s body laid and quickly put him on the stretcher. They all bump into me as they ran him into the truck.

I didn’t know what I was doing but I quickly ran into the back of the truck.

“Are you part of this boy’s family?” I looked up with my lifeless eyes, and nodded to the man carrying Ty into the truck. “Alright, quickly, get inside the truck.”

I sat next to Ty, holding his nimble hand in my own lifeless one. His pulse was weak, as if he could die any second. I went to wipe my face of any tears, but to my surprise there were none… Not one. Am I so heartless? Do I even care for Ty? What am I….?

Ty's voice broke my thoughts, “Ginn?” He said through his cracked voice.

I clenched onto his hand, “It’s okay, I’m here” I could see a smile form on his face. Looking at that smile, gave me hope again, something I lost as soon as I saw him in such pain, so much blood. All because of me and my stupid life… and he just got caught up in it.

I sat in the hospital chair outside of Ty’s assigned room; I could hear that hope bringing beep telling me Ty was okay, and breathing. That he’s not dead, a he’ll be okay in here. I couldn’t save him but at least they can.

As I turned my head I saw a man and a woman walk down the hallway from the elevator. The Man was slender and wore a Red tie with strips, and a black suit, with black dress shoes. The woman was wearing a boring turquoise blue skirt with a matching blouse, with a pearl necklace that looked like she held precious and would never let go of.

The Doctor finally came out of Ty’s room. “Hello Ms. and Mr. Wright,” Whoa so these are Ty’s parents? As a parent I would expect them to come in kicking and screaming to see their wounded child but they seemed as if they didn’t even care one bit of how Ty was doing. They should be more like me, exhausted, anxious, scared, and feeling completely helpless, right? The Doctor continued, “Well Ty Is going to be fine, he had a few broken bones and had to get a few stiches but nothing critical was done to his body.”

“Oh thank god!” I said with hope and yet, sadness. Ms. Wright stared at me, “And you are?” She asked with a grim look.

“Oh, I’m Ginn, I’m a frie-friend of Ty’s.” I hesitated because.. am I really such a good friend? Do I even deserve the title? No. The answer is a definite no. Ms. Wright gave me a sly nod. “Right well if Ty is fine then we can pay for the expenses and be on our way?” The Doctor’s eyes bulged, “Yes ma’am, over here.” The Doctor showed Ms. Wright where the front desk was, they turned a corner and disappeared. Mr. Wright stared into the room of where his son slumbered.

“I have to go but please take care of my son, he can be so hopeless at times.” He said without even looking at me, then he walked away, towards the front desk and disappeared as he turned the corner.

What kind of parents…? Is this how Ty’s life is behind scenes? He has no one to care for him. I shook my head in disbelief. Maybe they were just busy and had a bad day. I’m just jumping to conclusion.

I stared into Ty’s room through the small window in the door. Without any permission I opened the door, unable to hold myself back any longer, I had to be near him again. I walked over to a chair, picked it up and sat it down next to Ty’s hospital bed. I held his hand again. I prayed for him, that he would get better and wake up as soon as possible so that I could apologize to him over and over again until I feel like this pain will go away and never come back, this helpless, sorrowful, heart wounding pain.

I stared at his closed eyes, down to his nose, then his lips and froze. My eyes continued to stare at them. Eve with blisters and cuts, his lips still looked so inviting. I felt this urge, this sudden urge to kiss him. So I stood up and kiss his lips gently.

Shocked and chills ran though my spine when a hand held the back of my head and pressing my lips harder against Ty’s. I opened my eyes only to meet Ty’s eyes.

*drum roll*

Well well well.. I enjoyed writing this chapter soooo much! ^^ I cried while doing that one scene if you know what I mean. I mean what if he actually died?! Omg did I just jinx him… or did I just jinx another male character…. *suspicious sounds in the background*
