It Started With a Rose

Chapter 10

I stared out into the parking lot, watching to see if I could spot Joseph anywhere near. I couldn't see him so I turned my head to look at Tyler sitting next to me in the wheel chair, he was now asleep and I have to say he looked rather adorable. I smiled and softly put my hand on Tyler's cheek, it was ice cold, along with my hand. Tyler's cheeks were dark red from the cold wind hitting his face, his nose was as well, I smiled then pulled my hand away as Tyler moved slightly in his sleep.

I looked down at my phone and saw the time was nine-thirty at night. I sighed then watched the steam form in the ice cold air from my breath. Suddenly a red car I believe a jeep pulled up next to Tyler and I. It was Joseph, but there was someone else in the car, it looked like a girl. Joseph got out of the car, his hands were in the pockets of his jacket and he was walking toward Tyler and I.

I looked up at up at Joseph, I slightly smiled as I shivered from the cold, I then said softly to him. "Hey." Trying not to wake up Tyler from his sleep. Joseph smiled back and replied "Hey Lucy, how is he?" in a soft tone. I looked over at Tyler, then I looked back at Joseph, "I think he's okay we just need to get him home or at least somewhere worm." I said firmly. Joseph nodded, he then grabbed the handles of Tyler's wheel chair and pushed him too the car. I waked over to the car right behind Joseph having this anxious feeling inside, I watched Tyler and how Joseph placed him in the back seat of the car slowly trying to keep him asleep, it was like a little kid.

I walked up to Joseph and looked up at him with a worried look, but also firm. "I want you too take us too my house. I don't want him going back to his house with that monster there." Joseph looked to the side, then after awhile nodded. "Okay, wheres it at?" I asked shyly. I then told him my address, then proceeded to get in the back seat of the car next to Tyler. I saw the back of the girl in the front seat, she had wavy dark red hair and was wearing a blue hoodie. I looked over to Tyler and then out the window as the car started to move heading toward my house.

As we were driving it was quiet, no music, no noise from the heater, just silents. That silence was soon broken by the girl in the front seat, she turned back to look at Tyler and then she looked at me. She had blue eyes that looked beautiful with he long dark red hair and pail skin. She seemed about thirteen, she then said to me "Hey there, I'm Morgan, Joseph's baby sister." She then smirked and observed me. "So, are you like Tyler's girlfriend or-?" she said in a sly tone, but before she could finish she was cut off by Joseph. "Morgan be nice, her and Tyler are just friends." He said firmly and a bit annoyed. Morgan than sat back in her seat with her arms crossed and stared out the window.

We finally made it too my place. Joseph stopped the car then got out to get Tyler, I got out as well and Morgan stayed in the car. I walked up to Joseph with the folded up wheel chair, "How do you open this?" I said with curiosity and confusion. Joseph looked a bit taken aback, but he then giggled a bit and opened the wheel chair. "Like that." he said with a bit of a giggle in his tone. My cheeks turned red from embarrassment and I looked away and grabbed Tyler's things he had from the hospital.

Joseph put Tyler in the wheel chair and pushed him up the ramp on the side of the stair case, I followed close behind. I looked through my purse for my keys, I looked back at Tyler, he was still sound asleep, I smiled at how cute he looked. I then unlocked the door and walked in holding the door open for Joseph and a sleeping Tyler. Joseph walked in and looked around, he pushed the wheel chair up behind the couch then he laid Tyler on it. I then grabbed a blanket and placed it on him and saw Joseph smile as he walked toward the door.

Before Joseph left I said in a loud whisper "Thank you." Joseph tuned back and nodded then said also in a loud whisper "Thank you too." he smiled and the proceeded to walk out the door, shutting it quietly behind him. I sighed and walked over too Tyler and stroked his cheek, they were still ice cold from the breeze, but they were starting to warm up. I thought to myself I hope he will be okay when he wakes up. I then got up and shut off the lights; I walked toward my bedroom, but before I walked in I looked at Tyler one last time and said softly, in a happy whisper. "Goodnight Tyler."
