Waking up in a weird bed with female arms around you was rather disorientating. Tyler had cried himself to sleep and had forgotten where he was until he turned to see Jenna drooling on the pillow next to his head. Last night wasn't just a dream.

He let out a ragged breath, his lungs restricted through the binder that he was going to regret wearing last night. Tyler maneuvered himself out of the bed and made his way to the bathroom to relieve himself and remove his binder. He felt horrible and out of his body and he just wanted to go home. He love Jenna and everything, but what he really wanted was Josh. He wanted his boyfriend and his strong arms. Even though he was furious with him and felt unwanted, he couldn't help but want the other man. He just wanted things to be okay again.

The brunet headed out into the bedroom once more, shaking his head fondly at Jenna's sprawled out form on the bed and took a second to wonder how Ashley slept in the same bed as her. He moved towards his phone and clicked the home button to see if he had any messages. His eyes widened at the amount of them on his home screen.

Ashley : Tell your 'boyfriend' he is toast when I see him next

Ashley : the nerve of people, you know

There were a couple more from her though they were mostly emoji messages full of knives and angry faces. He rolled his eyes at the sight fondly, knowing that she had probably picked that up from Jenna. The next twenty or so were from Josh.

Sugar : Hey...

Sugar : why did a drunk jenna just call me and scream at me?

Tyler glanced up to look up at the empty wine glasses on Jenna's bedside table. She had brought a glass for him, but he did not want to drink. She must have finished both when she was talking to Ashley.

Sugar : she said that you were crying?

Sugar : baby answer me please

Sugar : I am assuming that the "whore-ish goblin" is debby...

Sugar : Tyler, please answer me

Missed call from Sugar

Missed call from Sugar

Sugar : she just called me back and ranted the entire thing to me. Baby, please come home

Tyler shot a look at Jenna before grabbing her phone and unlocking it easily. He knew she wouldn't mind and he had to see what she had told Josh. He clicked her messages and then Josh's thread.

Jen : you are the lowest of low josh dun

Tyler took a second to be impressed with how fluent she was when she was drunk.

Asshole : ?? What are you talking about?

Jen : you ditched your fucking BOYFRIEND for some dirty goblin and then didn't even use your fucking common sense to think of how that would impact him

Asshole : are you talking about Debby? She is just my friend and she said that Tyler was going to do some shopping in town so I didn't ditch him!

Jen : YOU DID! Poor baby walked all the way home and could barely stand by the time he got to my house! And you know what the real fucking kicker is JoshuA?

Jen : He showed up here repeating that he was a boy and he was sorry and not good enough for you and your fucking goblin 'bestie'

Asshole : are you serious? Tyler knows he is good enough for me! Why the fuck would I be with him if he wasn't all I could have ever asked for? If he wasn't amazing with my daughter and brought me happiness

Jenna had simply sent him a picture back, it was of Tyler. He was curled in a ball, face sunken from exhaustion and tears. Her hand was in the picture as well, pulling his shirt up to show the binder that he had slept in. His hair was messy from the pulling he had done to it. Tyler felt sick looking at the picture.

Asshole : fuck.

Jen : yeah, fuck.

Asshole : please wake him up, I need to talk to him

Jen : no. you have hurt him enough for one night. It will be up to him to decide if he wants to answer you in the morning

Jen : I personally hope he doesn't want to

Tyler turned his attention back to his phone, reading the last of Josh's text messages.

Sugar : I am so sorry ty. I should have known. God, I love you so fucking much and I left you at that diner! Jesus why did I think you would be able to get home yourself?

Sugar : I left you for three hours ty! Something could have happened to you!

Tyler could practically hear Josh's panic and anxiety in his voice and wanted to go cuddle him instantly. Josh should feel bad, but he shouldn't have had to go through it in the middle of the night when Tyler couldn't pull him from the ledge.

Sugar : please, please text me back when you wake up, I just want to know you are alright... I love you so much, my beautiful boy

Tyler bit his lip for a second before deciding that he wanted to contact his boyfriend to ensure he hadn't jumped off a bridge in guilt.

Darling : are you sure you shouldn't be the one being checked if they are okay?

Sugar : TYLER!

Sugar : baby, I am so sorry, please come home, please. I fucked up big time and I just want you back home and I want to take care of your bruised ribs and make up for every stupid thing I did yesterday

Darling : I am not coming back if she is there.

The intent was there and Josh could do with that whatever he liked. After finding out that Debby told Josh to leave Tyler at the diner, he was not going to be Mr. Nice Guy.

Sugar : She won't be here when you get here, I promise.

Tyler's stomach churned at the thought that she had spent the night even after all of that occurred, but was kind of glad that Josh was not alone. The brunet quickly got dressed and wrote Jenna a little note since she was hungover and still passed out. He tugged on his clean clothes and made his way out of the house and to his car.

It felt like light years between now and last night when he drove blindly to Jenna's house. He pulled into their driveway and made his way into the house. He was about to announce his presence when he heard talking. With a quick glance in the living room, he ruled out Olivia since she was passed out on the couch. He also ruled out Hayley since her truck wasn't here. That only left one more person and it made his blood boil. He stormed towards the kitchen, ready to scream but paused at the sight before him.

*************

Let's just say that watching someone shoot up was not the greatest sight in the world.

Tyler knew all about Josh's drug past and Sarah's attempts to get him hooked again. Tyler had spent many nights kissing the track marks on Josh's elbows. He had made his peace with it and accepted who Josh had once been. But nothing could have ever prepared him for the longing look on his boyfriend's face as watched the goblin (there was nothing positive or neutral to call her now) put the needle into one of her sickly looking veins.

Tyler knew damn well that Josh would never do any of that stuff again. He didn't even get high or anything any longer, let alone injections. Tyler didn't have the slightest clue what was in the needle. He felt sick to his stomach watching her blissed out expression and then loaded another shot into the same needle and holding it out to Josh.

"Come on Joshie, just once more," the goblin crooned, Tyler watching intently as his boyfriend's own face looked queasy and he looked like he wanted to be anywhere else. The scene finally got too much for Tyler when his lost looking boyfriend begun to reach for the needle.
