Mentally in love (Remington Leith)

Chapter Fifty

It has been a few months since the interview. Everything was different now. I had a new roommate.

Her name was Debby. She was dating Josh. Remington has been super busy making a new album along with the rest of the boys. Andy just started tour again. But they all called Larisa to check up on me when they could.

As for me, I've been getting better. The meds have been helping, my anxiety is getting better. I've even been doing live Karaoke in Friday's.

Ashley and Chris had gotten closer. They still subtly flirted with each other when they could.

Tyler and Josh have been making new music and it sounds honestly really good. They even created a story base around Tyler's depression who he named BlurryFace.

Josh has been way nicer to me, and apologized for his actions. He said he had no excuses for the way he treated me. I forgave him. He wasn't the first one to be an ass to me due to feelings.

As for Billie, she was able to have her brother come visit. She's been super happy since. She introduced all of us to him. His name was Finneas. He was super nice and even was able to sing with her on stage.

As for today, we were all sitting at our regular table. But something felt off. Tyler seemed tense, Josh seemed sad, Debby seemed to just be rubbing his arm in comfort. But the rest of us were confused.

"Hey guys. We have an announcement," Josh spoke up.

I looked down at my plate of food as Billie and Ashley continued to eat. They had gained weight and were looking healthier then they did before. I knew they would make it out soon.

"What's up?" Chris threw his head up as he chomped through a mouth full of spaghetti.

"Tyler..." Josh trailed off. He looked down, trying to hide his tears.

"Is everything okay?" I asked. My heart began to ache as I began to worry.

"I'm getting out tomorrow," Tyler smiled sadly at all of us. I could see the worry in his eyes. It was just begging us not to be mad at him.

"Oh my god Tye!!" I smiled, standing up.

"It's about time! You've been here almost as long as Remington!" Billie laughed. I smiled at her, but my heart yearned for my lover. Just the mention of his name caused me to go weak.

"So you're leaving tomorrow? How long have you known?" Chris asked.

"I've known for two weeks now," Tyler rubbed the back of his head awkwardly.

"I've known for a week," Josh pitched in.

"I'm just happy you told us. But I wish we had more time...we would've planned something," I grumbled, sitting next to Tyler.

"I know. I'm sorry, Doll," He frowned. I shook my head before wrapping him in a hug. He was going to be missed for sure.

"You better mention us when you get famous," Debby interjected. Everyone laughed.

"Yeah! You better mention us, punk," I joked as I pulled him closer.

"I'm never mentioning you guys. I'm gonna tell my fans that you guys were all the different names of my fish," He joked.

"Fish?" I laughed, pulling out of the hug.

"Yeah. You're gonna be that fish from Nemo with the scar on his lip," Tyler joked.

"No dude. That's hella Remi," Ashley laughed. I nodded my head in agreement.

"You're right. She's Nemo. She was lost, but now she's found," Tyler smiled, ruffling my hair. My hair hadn't been dyed in a while. So it looked pretty bad.

I walked back to my seat, eating the remaining  macaroni on my plate. I don't know who cooks these meals, but they taste amazing. Not like normal hospital food.

"I'm gonna miss you guys," Tyler smiled.

"Jenna is gonna come pick you up right?" Debby asked.

"Yeah, she said she'd be here around ten tomorrow morning," Tyler smiled at the thought of his lover.

"Please let her come in. I miss her!!" Me and Debby over lapped each other. We looked at each other before laughing.

Debby was a really sweet roommate. She has a very bubbly personality. But she also had a really cool "don't fuck with my friends" vibe. She had a really nice personality that complimented her very beautiful features. She was beautiful inside and out. And that was something I admired her for.

"Yeah. I'll make sure she comes in and says hi to everyone," Tyler smiled.

"I'm so happy that you're getting out of here. But you're going to be missed," Ashley smiled, rubbing his forearm from across the table.

"I'll miss you guys too. It's gonna be a whole different world out there," His eyes grew in size at the realization.

"You better invite me to a concert when Josh and I get out of here," I winked.

"Of course. I promise to invite you to a concert as soon as you get out," He smiled.

"Hey. Speaking of, can I speak to you El? Somewhere private?" Tyler asked. I nodded my head, but furrowed my brows in confusion.

What could he need to tell me?

Is he worried about leaving?

Is he worried about leaving me here?

He grabbed my hand as I stood up. I followed him out of the cafeteria and down the hall to the music room.

He shut the door behind him before smiling.

"I have a gift for you. But I need you to promise me not to read it until tonight," He looked deeply into my eyes. I nodded my head in confusion.

He handed me a note. It was a white note with a small red heart drawn in the middle.

"Larisa gave me one last project. That project was to write a note to someone I would miss the most when I left. Someone I would worry about when I left. Someone who I grew close to while I was here," He listed off things. My eyes grew watery. I placed the note in my pocket.

"Stop it, I don't wanna cry," I mumbled, blinking my eyes trying to make the tears go away.

"And that person was you. You're someone I care about so much and I don't want you to forget that. You're a great girl, El. I just- I don't want to leave you alone. I know you're strong and I know you're gonna be just fine. Look at how far you've come!" He smiled. I began to cry.

"You are gonna change the world one day. And I can't wait to be there when you do," He pulled me into a hug, kissing the top of my head. I wrapped my arms around him, sobbing deeply into his chest.

"I- I-I'm gon-Gonna m-Miss you,"I cried out.

"I know, I'm gonna miss you too," He rubbed my back. I could feel him start to cry as well.

"Please don't ever forget about me," I whimpered.

"Never," He smiled against my hair,"How could I forget my Miss Believer?"

I smiled before taking in his scent for the last time. He would be missed. But I was happy he was going to move forward in life.

"I love you Tyler," I whispered into him.

"I love you too Eleanora," He smiled.
