Tyler had his eyes opened for what is only but a few seconds. With only but one word and breath left in him, he could only utter my name. He has now fallen back asleep and has not moved since. I don’t know how much he had heard of what was said, it breaks my heart that our marriage is falling apart over secrets that I should have never kept from him from the start. So I am left here with nothing but my thoughts. With that, I sit back into the chair and let her close her eyes to rest. The edginess inside me is killing me, so I take a nearby piece of paper and scribble down my thoughts. "I want to thank you for bringing so many pleasant, beautiful memories and emotions. For giving me so much affection, warmth, and care. For the lovely nights. For the minutes when I am near you. For your smile. For the kind words. For all the good that is between us. I realize how dear you are to me and that you are the person with whom I am ready to go through life with

There has not been any movement from Tyler again. The Doctor is writing it off as a freak moment that his brain showed activity. I am wanting to believe is that I shocked him so bad that he does not want to come back to reality. Is this what our lives are going to come to? Apart from my battle with trying to get Tyler to come back home, I still have Brooke waiting around for answers. Detective Fletcher has also snuck his head in regularly keeping an eye on Tyler’s condition. My life is a mess. So I guess that life goes on. I would love to believe that I am doing fine, but my heart has now, in fact, seized to exist. I cannot bear the pain anymore. It has been suffocated to such a brink that it is only but lying like a dormant vessel in my body, one I can by all honesty say, I do not wish to revive. What has revived itself with a newfound urgency is the rate that the bleeding irises find themselves watering up with tears every day. I am trying t

I am watching as Tyler places the note down in front of him on the bed. There is a look of pure terror that has now consumed his beautiful blue eyes. Behind the confusion, there is something more that he is hiding behind the façade. He is scared. He has a fear in him that I have only seen but once in him before. And that was the day that he walked out of that barn. Did he hear my conversation with Brooke? Every part of me hopes that he did not. I am yet to answer for that fateful night and for everything that happened. I can only imagine what this is going to do to him. I have not only betrayed and lied to him but, should Mark find me one day, I will put Tyler in harm all over again. So after what seems for ten long uncomfortable minutes in silence, I ask for Doctor Cane and everyone else to leave the room. Then I turn to Tyler, and I know that the moment has now come; I need to tell him the truth before Detective Fletcher, whom I see is already hanging aroun

…Tyler POV… Guess it was failed from the start, yes it was a thrilling ride, but I need to stop for one moment and take a step back, for, beyond all the craziness that filled our lives, I need to allow myself to remember why I did not want to get involved. What made it all worthwhile was having her in my arms. I always thought that I have no purpose if I did not have her presence in my life. With Jenna, I needed to prove myself as the man I wish she would desire. Guess I have failed myself, not even to mention her as well. Ya…I am soft. But to have beauty in your life is easy; to have the beauty of the woman that you love and the one that loves you in return is the greatest gift that one can experience. I can, with all honesty, say that there is no doubt that she did complete my life. To be lonely for eternity can be seen as a life sentence, but having what you crave, is the greatest blessing. Well, is that just not a bunch of Bullshit! I was

…Tyler POV… Jenna sent me a message last night, but I never returned one. Well, she sent me half a sentence; I honestly thought that she was playing for me, so I did not bother to answer. I am mad, and my heart is broken…again. How do you return to your life after something like this? What do I do with my life now? What do I do with myself now? I am a broken, messed up man. So I reach in my pocket for my phone, hoping that Jenna has changed her mind. There is nothing. I need to get away from this. I decide to go find Brooke instead. "Hey, Brooke." "Hey, Tyler." "Do you want to meet at the pub for a few?" "Of course, see you in half an hour." If anyone can make sense of anything, then it is Brooke. So half an hour later we meet at a pub down the road from me. "So, Tyler, what happened?" "She left me, Brooke." "Where is she?" "No, I am not sure." "What now?" "It's ov
