Tyler reached his brother's room and entered to find him laying awake with a drip in his arm...
"You scared me half to death, you know that" Tyler exclaimed as he sat down next to his brother's bedside
"I'm sorry bro, I really am. I just wanted some attention" Anthony admitted, rubbing his hands against his face
"Well that you did. Dad was here but I told him to go, this is all his fault. I did do right, didn't I?" Tyler asked
Anthony nodded and sighed once again. Half an hour later Tyler left his brother's room and walked off back down the hall to the waiting area to find Whitney waiting for him...
"I thought you'd have gone home by now" Tyler informed her as he walked back in
"I wanted to wait for you. How's Anthony?" she questioned, standing up and walking over to him
"He's doing okay and he's awake thank God. The nurses said he should be home in a couple of days" he replied, smiling
"Good. Now how about we go home and go for a drink?" she suggested, raising an eyebrow
Tyler nodded and she took his hand. They exchanged a glance and smiled...
Tyler and Whitney said their goodbyes to each other and he made sure she got home safe before walking back to his, finding his Dad in the living room, staring at the space where Anthony's body laid only a few hours ago...
"How's he doing?" Eddie asked as Tyler walked into the room, flicking the television on
"Do you care?" Tyler questioned as he flicked through the channels, settling on a film
"Of course I do, he's my son and I love him" Eddie proclaimed
"Shame you didn't show it then isn't it? He could've died Dad. Do you give a monkeys?" Tyler enquired, raising an eyebrow
"Yes, and when he comes home I'm going to do everything I can to make it up to you, the both of you" Eddie assured him, smiling
Tyler nodded and went back to concentrating on the film, wondering whether Eddie meant what he really said...
