Once Upon a Dream

Chapter 3

(In case you where confused, these last three chapters are all past tense. The present tense will be either next chapter or the chapter after that! :D) 

Troye's P.O.V

After receiving the news of Tyler being in the hospital for hitting his head to hard, I was completely devastated and didn't exactly know what to do or how to react. I felt completely empty. I knew he was gonna be okay, but I still didn't know how to feel about it. What if he didn't make it? What if he lost to much blood. All I felt was a mixture of sadness and emptiness. 

As I drove to the hospital, my mind couldn't stop running at all the possibilities that could happen to Tyler. I know there was like a ten percent chance of the scenarios running in my head to happen, I just couldn't seem to stop them from running.

As soon as I pulled into the hospital parking lot, I jumped out of the car, running towards the doors, pushing passed the people who were walking in and out. 

"Hello sir, can I help you?" the blonde haired lady at the desk looks up and asks me. I take a moment to catch my breathe. 

"Y-yes. What room is Tyler Oakley in?" I rush. She starts tapping away on her keyboard. It felt like years before she actually spoke up again. 

"And who are you?"

"Troye Sivan, his boyfriend" I nod. She scrunches her eyebrows together in distaste before rolling her eyes and then responding. 

"Well, your boyfriend is in room 24. It's not that hard to find" she spits the word "boyfriend" and then turns back to her computer as I ignore her rudeness and start towards room 24. 

It takes me more than five minutes to find it. It was actually quite hard to find since I didn't know my way around this place. As soon as I push open the curtains, I find a sad looking Zoe sitting next to him reading a book, a nurse looking at something on the counter and Tyler, asleep and looking very fragile. 

Zoe looks up and hops up, engulfing me in a tight hug. "Troye!" she cries into my shoulder. 

"He's not gonna remember anything according to the doctors."

My heart drops completely into my stomach and I'm sure I was the one who's gonna need to be in the hospital next. He's not gonna be able to remember anything? What am I supposed to do if he can't remember anything? I don't wanna break up with him! 

I could feel my cheeks beginning to heat up and my eyes beginning to become watery. Out of the corner of my eye, I notice the nurse with a noticeable look of sympathy and worry in her eyes. I pull out of Zoe and I's hug and look over to the nurse. 

"Is Tyler gonna be okay? Will he be able to remember anything?" I start pouring out questions to the nurse as she looks over a paper. 

"Well, we're not exactly sure, Sir. He hit his head very hard. Do you know how he did it?" I shake my head and glance over to Zoe who is also shaking her head. 

The nurse sighs before exiting the room without saying anything. I move to look at Zoe who was rubbing her eyes. I grab her hand in a comforting manner. After letting go, I walk over to Tyler and sit in a chair, grabbing a hold of his hand and tracing circles with my thumb. Suddenly, the curtain is swung open and a panicked looking doctor comes in. 

"We're going to have to ask you two to sit in the waiting room for a little bit" the doctor says, walking over the the counters and opening one of the drawers. I look over to Zoe, her panicked expression meeting mine. I scoot up from the chair and walk out of the room with Zoe. 

We both sit on the chairs in the waiting room, our hearts racing and tears threatening to spill. He just hit his head, how bad could that get? Possibly not that bad. 

About an hour later, a doctor comes out with a worried expression on his face. "We're so sorry to tell you this, but there are high chances your friend could die." 

My heart stops along with my breathing and all my movements. No. No no no. He can't die. 

Zoe bursts into tears and wraps her arms around my side. 

I jump up with her still wrapped around me, causing her to almost fall. 

"No. No there is no way!" I cry. The doctor leads us to the room and I run over to Tyler. He's strong. He can't die. No. I refuse to believe that. 

I grab a hold of his hands and start whispering "I love you" repeatedly. I feel a hand on my back and look up to Zoe who was looking down at me. 

"Unfortunatley, you guys are going to have to leave so we can take care of him, unless you want to sit in the waiting room for the rest of the day and night." 

I stand back up, planting a kiss to Tyler's lips before leaving the hospital. 

The tears didn't stop when I got into the car. It's like my eyes were turning into a waterfall. 

My vision was blurry to the point where I couldn't see when I drove, but I couldn't care less. I couldn't stop crying as I drove. 

I just wanted him here with me, his laugh, the way he smiled and could light up the room no matter where he went. His kiss and his touch seemed to set me on fire every time, i didn't want to lose him. He was my everything, my earth, my sky,  my moon, and my stars.

 

As i drove it only rained harder and it was getting hard to see at all but i couldn't be bothered to care right now. I turned up the radio which played a slow sad song that i couldn't identify. At some point i got lost, but i kept going. Then out of nowhere a car came speeding towards me, I tried to swerve and avoid it when I realized it was no use, it was going to fast and i didn't have a chance of getting away.

 

I squeezed my eyes shut and it hit. There was the sound of shattering glass and a the sound of metal crunching and a yell i could only assume was mine. I forced my eyes open and in front of me was the picture of Tyler and i we kept on the sunvisor. My eyes watered at the memory, knowing that Tyler and i wouldn't get the happy ending we wanted. The one we planned, with a house and kids. The one where we sat together in our old age holding hands and playing with our grandkids. I closed my eyes tears soaking my cheeks and all i could feel was pain.  I didn't want this, i wanted someone to tell me I would be ok that, Tyler would be ok.

In the distance I heard an ambulance and i got mad, if tyler dies then what is the point? There was none, I forced myself to reach out and clutch the picture in my hand holding it close to me. Then everything started to fade, the sounds of the siren, the smell of blood, then I felt myself fade into nothing
