Tyler

"Tyler, your friend seems worried." My mom says to me, referring to Ani. I keep my head in my knees. "Tyler. Look at me."

I look up, feeling the tears on my face. "Look, it's okay. It'll be okay." She says, hugging me."

"But I did this." I whisper.

"No you did not, Tyler." She pulls away. "This is not your fault."

"But if I was there. If I pushed him..." I cry.

"Tyler, no one knew. Look at me." She says, her words kind. "Do you want to visit him?"

"I'm not going to a hospital." I say harshly as I turn my back from her."

"Tyler Robert Joseph! He is your best friend! He needs you more than anything right now!" She exclaims.

"If Josh needed me, he would've told me he was contemplating suicide." I choke out.

"Tyler..." My mom hugs me.

I pull away and walk out of the livingroom. I grab my keys as I walk out the front door to my car.

I drive towards the hospital Josh was in, scared.

Once I get in the building, i quickly go to the desk lady.

"Joshua Dun?" I ask.

"Um, room seventy nine." She says. "Family?"

"Best friend." She nods and let's me leave.

I find my way to his room, as I walk in I see Ashley, Abby, and Jordan.

"Oh Tyler!" Ashley hugs me, tears on her face.

"Is he okay? Is he awake? Is he breathing fine?" I ask as she pulls away from the hug.

"He's okay, he just lost a lot of blood." She sniffs.

"Well how long will he be here?" I ask.

"We don't know, mom and dad are talking to the doctor somewhere." Ten year old Abby says.

"O-oh" I sigh.

"He'll be okay." Ashley says with asks tight smile.

"I hope so..." As I say this, I see Josh's finger twitch. "His finger twitched."

"Its been twitching for a bit now." She sighs.

"Oh..." I sit down in one of the most uncomfortable chairs I've encountered.

I pull out my phone.

Maybe I should talk to Ani...

Maybe not.

Ani has logged on

Ani is typing...

Ani: I know you said Ty wasn't in the mood to talk, but could you tell him to message me when he's ready to talk?

Ty: I'm ready to talk.

Ani: Ty?

Ty: hi Ani.

Ani: are you okay? Please tell me you are.

Ty: my best friend tried committing suicide...

Ani: Tyler. Oh my god, was it Josh?

Ty: yes.

Ani: Tyler, I am so sorry.

Ty: can you call me?

Ani: of course

I soon get an incoming call.

Ani is calling

I walk into the hallway.

"Hi Ani." I say quietly.

"Hi Tyler." Her voice sounded sad, but it felt amazing having her voice run through my ears again. "I missed you."

"I missed you too, love. I'm just in a bad place." I say.

"I know, Ty. I'm so sorry. I'm sure he will be fine." She reassures me.

"I know." I say quietly. "Can you sing for me? It always cheers me up."

"What song?" She laughs lightly.

"The one I sent you."

"That trees one? You still haven't told me who sings it." I smile at her cluelessness, fining it funny.

"I will soon. Can you sing it?"

"Yes." So she does, and afterwards I want i hug her, but she's just so far.

"Thank you, love."

Thats another thing. I call her love, because I love her. She's truly one of my love, my best friend, her an josh make my life happier.

"Tyler, he's waking up." Jordan says to me.

"He is?" I ask.

"Tyler, go. I love you." Ani says and hangs up.

"I love you too." I whisper, hoping she knows that I really do.

"Ty." Josh states.

I go over to him and hug him. I don't hug people too much, but I had to hug him.

"Josh, you scared me so much." I lightly cry.

"I'm sorry Tyler." I pull away.

"Dont ever do it again, and josh, talk to me, please." He nods.

I walk away, letting his siblings have time with him.

"Thank you second mom." I smile to Josh's mom as she opens the hospital door for me.

"You're welcome third son." She laughs. "You need to get home, it's getting late."

"I will, thank you."

"Yes..." she trails. "Um, don't talk about this at school."

"I wouldn't dare." I say.

We bid our last goodbyes and I walk towards my car.
