My Herro (Tyler Herro)

THE HOSPITAL MAKE UP

CORALLINES POV

i woke up in a hospital room immediately knowing what happened. i looked around and no one was in the room with me just reminding me of the friendship i lost the night before.

i closed my eyes for a second before looking down where the stab wound was. i couldn't see what it actually looked like because i had a gown on but i could feel the bandages around it. it actually didn't hurt as bad as it seems like, but i guess it wasn't very deep.

just then someone walked in the room. i looked up and saw tyler. he looked obviously upset and stressed and he was looking down at his phone texting someone.

he looked up and noticed i was awake immediately running at me and hugging me.

"oh my gosh coralline you're awake i'm so sorry this is all my fault." he said.

"ouch." i said and he pulled away immediately apologizing and looking at me.

"i'm kidding it actually doesn't hurt that bad but why are you here we're in a fight." i said.

"are you kidding me i don't care if we were enemies i have to make sure you're okay." he said looking kind of upset.

"how long have i been here?"

"3 days."

3 DAYS I THOUGHT IT WAS 1!

"oh my god are you kidding me?" i asked sitting up.

"no i've been here the whole time though they keep trying to make me leave." he said grabbing my hand.

it really meant a lot to me that he stayed the entire time despite all the hurtful things i said to him.

"thank you tyler i mean it."

"anything for you."

"why'd you do it? sleep with lily i mean if you knew she talked bad about me?"

"i don't even know what i was thinking i've just been so overwhelmed with basketball and i just needed it to relax i didn't even want her." he said looking down.

"i really did go to your apartment to talk to you then she just came on to me and i was so upset with the thought of you mad at me i didn't think. please forgive me i miss our friendship how it was in wisconsin."

"me too. i think we need to go on a friendship retreat." i commented laughing and grabbing his hand.

"as soon as i move out of that bitches apartment."

"of course you should move in with me i have an extra room and our retreat is you should come to the summer league in nevada with me." he said cheerfully.

just then my teammates walked in carrying balloons and stuffed animals. they were videoing as they walked in making me actually cry it was so sweet of them.

they came and hugged me and we hung out for a bit and i told tyler he could go to practice and shower since the summer league started in a few days. he was hesitant but i forced him to.

after the girls left i called my mom and she was really worried. tyler told her what had happened and she was going to fly to miami to see me and take care of me, but i told her to just stay in wisconsin and that tyler would take care of me.

i just didn't want her to spend a lot of money since this would cost so much and we used to struggle so much i didn't want to waste all of her hard work. especially since not even a month ago i had stitches in my face.

i was allowed to leave that night and tyler came back. he brought jimmy with him so they could help me. when i got dressed i noticed the stab wound was worse than i thought.

i was so thankful to be alive. people in this world are crazy. i had to be in a wheelchair a few days so the stitches didn't open and we went out to jimmys car. he drove us back to the beach so we could get my car.

tyler helped me get in before going to get something. i felt really anxious and scared being alone at the beach again although it was 7 pm and sunny with tons of people i was still suffering some ptsd.

tyler got back in and looked over to me. he handed me a box.

"tyler you don't have to buy me stuff we made up i could never stay mad at you your family."

"coralline i almost lost you because i'm stupid just take the gift it was nothing really." he said so i took it knowing he would never give up.

it was a small chain i guess you could say with c + t engraved in it.

"i bought this for you when i first signed because you are one of the most important people in my life. i was going to give it to you on the day of my first game in the league, but i figured now was a better time." he said looking over at me as he drove.

i looked down at it and looked and him giving him a side hug and thanking him. we got to his apartment and he helped me out of his car and put the chain on me. he had a matching one which was fresh asf if you ask me.

we got in his apartment and he helped me to the guest room god this wheelchair is a pain in the ass i'm not using it after today. i noticed my stuff was here.

"um how'd you get my stuff?"

"oh well the team helped and we all stormed your old apartment and got everything." he said.

"wow thank you so much you are the bestest friend  ever." i said kissing his cheek and messing with his hair.

"chill chill." he said fixing it.

we ordered some pizza and just watched tv in his living room that night and i told him that i would go with him to nevada the next week for summer league.

life's getting crazy it couldn't possibly get even weirder right?
