Josh's POV

'You ready?' I whisper.
Megan nods.

We'd reached the squids base and were waiting for the right moment to go for Tyler.

I take her by the arm and pull her along as I walk down the hall.
'Ow, josh!' she says.
'Sorry. I'm trying to be gentle' I say

I walk around a corner to see Ryan and Alex talking.
Ryan looks over at me.

'So... you decided to come back huh?' he smirks.
'Well would you look who it is' he walks over to me and Megan.

'Come back for your boyfriend?'
Megan stays silent.

Ryan looks over at Alex.
'Bring her to the machines.' he orders.

'Wait.' I say.
'Why not let Tyler?'

'I like your thinking' Ryan smirks.
'Go get him'

Alex nods and runs off to get Tyler.

'I thought you might change your mind' Ryan says.
'Don't know why you went with then in the first place'

I feel like punching him, but I have to stay calm and just go with it.

I laugh. 'they trusted me' I say.
'And now we have her'

Alex returns minutes later with Tyler behind him.

Tyler looks at Megan.
His eyes start to slowly change but they immediately go back.

'Take her to the machines' Ryan says.
Tyler nods and walks over to Megan.

He takes her off of me and pulls her along to the other room.

She looks back at me with a worried expression.
'Don't worry, it's gonna be okay' I mouth to her.

She nods slowly and Tyler pulls her into the room.

Megan's POV

'Tyler'
'What?' he spits.
'Come on Tyler. stop this, think about what you're doing' I say.
'I know exactly what I'm doing'

'No, you don't. you don't know what you're doing because of what they did to you' I tell him.

'I don't know what you're talking about' he says.

He pushes me closer to one of the machines.
'Tyler wait!' I say.
'Get in'

He shoves into the machine.
I watch him as he messes with the buttons.

I close my eyes tightly, I don't want to see it happen again.

I stay still with my eyes closed tightly but nothing happens.

What's happening?

Should I look?

I very slowly open my eyes.
Tyler is staring at me with his hand pressed against the glass.

I slowly lift my hand and place it on the glass.
He stares into my eyes.

I notice the way his eyes keep changing, from normal to red.

He closes his eyes.
'Megan...' I can faintly hear him say.
He opens his eyes and I see the Tyler that I know and love.

He quickly opens up the door to the machine.
I jump out and wrap my arms around his neck.

I let the tears that I had been holding in for so long roll down my cheeks.
'I'm so sorry' he says quietly.
'I love you so much'

'I love you too' I sob into his shoulder.
