Tyler’s POVI could still taste the blood in my mouth as I felt the sharp strike on my mouth and Madison’s mother's ring cutting my lips. I stared at her with shock but I couldn't blame her because it was all my fault. Everyone looked at me with shocked expressions.“Mo, why would you slap Tyler, He did nothing wrong” Andy held his mother back“He deserves it, He won't rest till he completely ruins her life, See where she is now because of him!”Everyone expected a reaction from me but I knew I was at fault. It was all my fault, Madison was in this mess because of me, I keep bringing hurt to her life, and I am tired of making Madison suffer.“You’re after my daughter’s life, What has she ever done to you?”“I never meant for any of this to happen” I tried to reason with her but she was a mother and she was coming from a place of pain.“I can't lose her too” She whispered those words and it cut my heart into pieces. I had to sit down because I was losing my stance. I couldn't imagine m
Tyler’s POVI sat next to her, just staring at her face, I didn't realize hours had passed, and when Madison's mother came to see her, When I saw her I quickly stood up and wanted to leave.“Stay,” Mary said, I halted my steps and stood where I was“I am sorry this is happening, I never meant for any of this to happen” I apologized, She had blamed me earlier and I was starting to blame myself too.I was responsible for her condition and I would never forgive myself for causing so much pain to her.“You’re a good man, I know things happen but my little girl doesn't deserve this kind of pain”She started crying and I walked closer to her and held her hand.“She will be fine and she will recover in no time, Our Maddy is strong and resilient” I reassured her .“She is strong, my poor baby” She leaned and kissed the hand of Maddy and tears dropped from my eyes again.“C’mon now you need your rest” I took her to the hospital bed where she rested and sooner than later her siblings came to se
Madison’s POVI cautiously opened my eyes, allowing the soothing light of the hospital room to become acclimated to my eyes. While I was feeling disoriented, it took me a while to completely understand where I was. When I got more conscious, I tilted my head to the side and was shocked to see Tyler seated in a chair next to my bed. His normally well-groomed look was replaced by hair that was a jumble and eyes that looked fatigued. My heart pounded quicker."Tyler?" I whispered, and my voice was weak from all I had gone through.“Did he really stay by my side throughout this time?” I asked myself while looking at his face. He looked really dishelved and he didn't shave at all.Tyler looked up, and his eyes met mine. His face revealed a mix of relief and satisfaction. He couldn't control the emotions that surged within him and broke into a mix of tears and laughter."Madison!" he shouted, his voice choked with anguish. "You're awake!"My eyes opened in amazement. "How long have I been a
Madison’s POVThe noise aroused the attention of doctors and nurses nearby, who soon entered the room. I, my face flushed with fury and tears flowing down my cheeks, gestured towards the door."He needs to leave," I screamed, my words ripping through the air. "Now."The medical staff shared troubled glances, feeling the severity of the situation. One of the nurses approached Tyler, gently nudging him to step outside.Suddenly, the door blasted open once more. This time, it wasn't Tyler, but my own mother coming into the room with a look of worry engraved on her face."My baby!" My mother gasped, her eyes eagerly seeking out me. "What happened? I heard about the crash. Are you okay?"Tears welled up in my eyes as I nodded faintly. "I'm alive, Mom. Just trying to heal."My mother hurried to my side, wrapping me in a strong hug. "Oh, honey, I was so frightened. Thank heavens you're okay."I took peace in my mother's arms, a familiar and comfortable presence. As she embraced me, I felt a
Tyler’s POVI walked down the hallway after leaving Madison’s room, and I felt really weighed down by everything that had just happened. The words Mrs. Byers said to me kept replaying in my head, making me feel really bad about the mess I accidentally created. I couldn’t stop thinking about what I did and why I did it. Inside my head, I was asking myself, “What’s going on with you? Why do you even like this girl?” My own thoughts were telling me to move on, but no matter how sensible that sounded, I couldn’t just forget about Madison. There was something about her that I couldn't easily let go of.Lost in these internal battles, I meandered through the hospital corridors, the rhythmic hum of fluorescent lights above serving as a backdrop to the turmoil within. Thoughts collided, a cacophony of confusion and self-reflection. I barely noticed when I passed the doctor’s office, the entrance slipping away in the haze of my contemplation.It was only when a passing nurse caught my attentio
Tyler’s POVAs I approached Room 203, I took another deep breath, steeling myself for the upcoming conversation. I raised my hand, and with a tentative knock, I announced my presence.“Come in,” a voice called from within the room.I pushed the door open and entered, finding a comfortable-looking office with a desk cluttered with papers. Dr. Bennett, with his graying hair, looked up from his work, offering me a reassuring smile.“Tyler, finally you are here. Please, have a seat,” he gestured towards the chair across from his desk.I hesitated for a moment, feeling a mix of nervousness and relief as he took the offered seat. The chair creaked slightly under his weight as he settled in, glancing around the room at the diplomas and medical charts adorning the walls.“Thanks, Dr. Bennett,” I mumbled, shifting uncomfortably in his seat. “Sorry I’m late. Got a bit turned around in this place. It’s like a maze.”Dr. Bennett chuckled warmly, “No worries, Tyler. Hospitals can be confusing. I’m
Tyler’s POV"But what of her mum? How will I convince her I mean her daughter no harm?" I asked, my worry etched across my face. Dr. Bennett leaned back in his chair, considering the question. "Building trust with Madison's mother will also take time. It's crucial to be patient and show through your actions that your intentions are sincere. Avoid confrontations, be respectful, and give her the space she might need to process everything."I sighed, a mix of frustration and understanding. "I just don't want to be seen as the bad guy here. I genuinely care about Maddison, and I want her to have all the support she needs."Dr. Bennett nodded in agreement. "It's evident, Tyler. Just be yourself and focus on being a positive presence. Actions often speak louder than words, and with time, her mother may come to see your genuine concern for Maddison's well-being."Feeling a bit more assured, I nodded. "Thanks, Dr. Bennett. Your advice means a lot. I'll do my best to be patient and understandi
Madison’s POVI lay on the narrow hospital bed, my eyes half-closed, trying to make sense of the fuzzy shapes around me. The sterile scent of the hospital room filled my nose, and the rhythmic beeping of machines provided a disconcerting soundtrack to my hazy thoughts. The pain on my side felt like a sharp jab, a constant reminder of something I couldn't quite grasp.I heard my mom's voice in the distance, a comforting murmur that reassured me, "You'll be fine, Madison. The doctors are taking care of you." It was a distant echo, like a lifeline connecting me to the world outside my foggy cocoon. I tried to focus on the words, to find solace in them, but the pain and dizziness were relentless.A nurse came in, her friendly face obscured by a mask, and checked the machines that surrounded me. "How are you feeling, sweetie?" the nurse asked, her voice a gentle melody. I managed a weak smile, attempting to convey that I was okay even though I wasn't entirely sure.The nurse adjusted some
