I just realized how long this is... Sorry lol!)

Andis panic only rose as she heard Tylers short shuddered breaths -Something else isn't right...- Those words rung through her head many times, as she kept one hand on his thigh wound while the other was getting out gauze and antibacterial cream for the wound. Luckily, it was a simple entrance and exit wound but unluckily he seemed to be bleeding heavily from it. As Tyler suddenly jerked up, she paused whatever she was doing to look at him. Seeing the blood that he coughed up sent a wave dread through her body. "No no no no..." Andi muttered quietly now knowing that he was bleeding internally, probably from his abdomin with all the symptoms he had. She nodded her head slightly at his murmur before going back to working at his leg. When he began to speak she was packing guaze into the entrance wound of the gun shot. She listened to him carefully, half wanting him to stop and save his breath but the other half of her wanting to hear what he had to say. Tears started to fill her eyes as he continued to speak and hearing his last sentence made her freeze, just for a second. Those words were truly the last thing she would have expected from Tyler... But she was happy to hear them, out of anybody she was truly happy she head those three words from Tyler. After she got herself back together she moved to stuffing the exit wound with gauze, which was on the side of his thigh. "Tyler you have never let me down, not even once since the day I met you. I don't even want you to think that you've let me down.... You've taught me a lot about relationships as well and... I love you too, Tyler." Andi choked out through tears, she wanted to keep it short and simple so they both could focus on what was going on. She finally finished stuffing the wound and proceeded to wrap the gauze around it tightly to help the bleeding stop. At his question, she could only shake her head "I can't promise that... I will always make sure you are taken care of, whether I have a tiny scratch or I'm bleeding out. You will always be my priority" Andi told him, giving back a faint smile as she laid him back on the couch. She then prop a few pillows underneath his lower back and buttox so that his lower half was above his heart level. She then moved to her own suitcase "Tyler, I know it's going to be hard staying awake while your laying down but I'm going to need you to try real hard to not fall asleep" She said as she rummaged around, looking for something in her suitcase. Andi finally found some TXA medication which her doctor prescribed just awhile back for her to help during that time of the month. It helps create blood clots in your body and slows down your blood, which is also prescibed for people with internal bleeds. -Thank the lord I went to medical school- She praised in her head as she moved back to Tyler, she pulled out two pills and walked back over to him "You think you can take these?" She asked softly, crouching down beside him.

my post is gonna look like I fell asleep doing it compared to yours XD))

Tyler blinked quickly and tried to keep his gears turning, refusing the urge to cough up more blood. He wished he was upright so he didn't DROWN as he coughed up blood, but what the heck. Not like it mattered much. Tyler hated that taste in his mouth, but there wasn't anything he could do about it. When Andi started speaking he just stayed silent- mostly to gasp for shuddering breaths- but he felt much much better knowing she didn't think he was a complete failure. Tyler coughed again, twisting sideways so he could spit the blood out. "Y-yuck." He muttered grumpily, clenching and unclenching his hands to give his brain something to do. He felt like a fish out of water- like he was breathing but not getting air. Tyler hated feeling so powerless. "You need to let it go. None of this was your fault." The same voice slid into his mind. +NOT NOW CAN'T YOU SEE I'M HAVING A VERY SMAL PROBLEM OF CHOKING ON BLOOD AND BLEEDING OUT FROM MY LEG+ He thought with a small groan, letting his hands go limp. "Yeah I c-can take them. Don't w-worry about what I c-can and c-can't do." Tyler stated firmly, trying to get his mind of the fact he really couldn't control anything. He forced his arms to move and swallowed the pills- it wasn't that hard except for the fact he really wanted to push them right back out again by coughing. "I s-swear there's a hole in m-my lung this s-sucks." He mumbled, talking just to keep himself awake. +Do. Not. Fall. Asleep+ Tyler thought drowsily, his vision seeming to stagger around like him when he got shot in the leg. Andi's face swam from side to side, wavering as if in water.

XD I was tryna match the amount of words you had so I wasn't lacking but I may have over did it... just a tiny bit lmao)

Andi winced as she saw Tyler, she set the pills down for a moment. Going into the kitchen she grabbed a trash can, a water bottle, and then a damp rag. She set up the trash can beside the couch where he could spit out the blood into so that it wasn't all over the floor. "I'm sorry, I know this isn't the best position but it's slowly the blood to your abdomin, where the interal bleeding is coming from" She informed him with a soft voice, taking the wet rag and wiping away blood that covered his mouth and face. Andi took the water bottle she had and set it beside the pills on the coffee table. "If you want to wash out the blood, theres a water bottle to use just let me know and I'll give you some water." She informed him once more before shifting to his legs, where she grabbed them gently and lifted them upstraight, to elevate them and slow the bleeding even more. At his response to her question, she only shook her head "Not possible cause I am going to worry. You should know this by now" She slightly joked, shifting slightly to grab the pills once more and handed it to him. As she shifted back, a small yelp escaped her mouth as a shot of pain went through her arm from the scrape she'd gotten from the bullet. Andi let her arm go limp as she didn't want to move it and make it hurt more but she also wasn't about to take care of it yet. Not until Tyler was better. "It'll get better soon... With being elevated and those pills I gave you, the internal bleed should slow and stop in a little bit." She informed him before looking at his thigh, seeing that blood was already starting to soak through the gauze. She let out a sigh, setting his legs down and beginning to unwrap his leg again and put new guaze on it.

Tyler shook his head slightly, grimacing. "Obviously n-not the best position." He let out a low snort, which didn't fare well with the whole coughing-up-blood thingamajig. "Okay okay, t-thanks." He mumbled, just wanting to whack his head against a wall. +Gears turn wake up come on tail on fire lets go+ Tyler thought, trying to keep his brain going so he didn't either drop dead from boredom or fall asleep. "Owowowow h-holy friholis I k-know you're trying to help but I d-don't bend that way!" Tyler half yelped, refusing the urge to put his upper body up to compensate with the feeling of his muscles RIPPING as they stretched. He had never been a flexible guy, and this was not helping in the least. Tyler's head jerked up as Andi yelped and he started to glare at her the best he could from his position. "If it is that painful you n-need to do something about it! W-wrap it up, I won't die in 3 seconds c-come on Andi." He groaned, really really wanting to just hop up and do it himself. Otherwise she would NEVER do anything with herself. "Okay great internal bleeding is n-not fun but being grazed by a bullet hurts t-too OW" Tyler hissed as his legs got lowered again, working his jaw back and forth in an effort to not bite his tongue off. "I'LL BE FINE FOR A SECOND OR TWO." He tried to huff, but failed miserably and just ended up coughing up more blood. "Now I really do look like a d-demon. Blood covering my mouth, gunshot wound in the leg, messed up everything, black clothing, and MORE BLOOD that is s-supposed to be INSIDE m-my body but decided to take a vacation!" Tyler growled under his breath, shifting a tiny bit so he was slightly upright.

Andi had a sort of tunnel vision... Well not sort of but full on was in tunnel vision of 'help Tyler'. Her panic sent her into that tunnel vision, seeing all the blood only drove her more down that rabbit hole. She wasn't really focusing on any of what Tyler was saying or doing until she heard him half yell half huff out at her. Andi fianlly snapped out of her dazed tunnel and took a step back, leaving him alone for a moment. She listned to what he grumbled underneath his breathe before shaking her head. "No you don't and all the blood will be gone soon" She mumbled quietly, taking the wet rag from earlier and wiping the blood that on gotten on her hands off. "Sorry if I hurt you a ton... I wasn't really focused" She mumbled slightly once more looking at Tyler as she shift to sit up slightly.

Tyler let out a long breath of air and sagged against the armrest of the couch. He turned to look at Andi before shaking his head slightly, his face pained. "Gone out of me or gone as in a good thing?" He muttered, pleased that he could speak again. "Exactly. If you are going to work on someone you need to be focused- I'm not a toy and this is not fake blood. O-on that note, you need to take care of yourself. The bullet wound in my leg did not hit any major arteries, because I'm not dead. My internal bleeding has slowed; those pills helped. You can think about what you're doing for a second and I promise you I'll m-make it through. I always have, haven't I?" He stated firmly with a weak smile, his breath catching slightly in pain as he shifted again. "I think it is okay i-if I sleep now. It'll be good f-for me. You should do the same, AFTER t-treating your wound." Tyler instructed, looking more like he was telling her to and less like he was suggesting it.

Andi shook her head at his first comment, realizing how bad she made that sound. "I meant gone in a good way. Like the blood will be gone from your mouth since the bleeding will slow down." She explained herself quietly before sinking to the ground as he spoke again. She turned and put her back against the bottom of the couch just listened to him speak. Andi would wince slightly at some of the things he said, realizing her panic was just stupid and she hurt him more than actually helping. "Yeah you do.." She mumbled quietly, resting her head back against the couch as well. She'd side eye him occasionally hearing his breath hitch everytime he shifted. At his last comment she nodded her head "Yes, that'll be good for you... And I will take care of myself soon don't worry" Andi grumbled slightly at his instructions, already taking a wet rag and cleaning off the blood near her wound.

Tyler let out a shuddering sigh of relief. "Oh good, that's great. I'm glad you meant gone in a good way, because right now I feel like the blood is gone in a bad way." He had a slight joking tone in his voice. "Ya now it's kinda like in the movies- I feel like a bunch of birds are flying around my head making chirpy noises." He tried to grin, coughing a little bit.. but no blood came out this time. +Scoooore+ He thought victoriously. Tyler always did seem to make it through... he was a tough guy. Even if he was fully human Tyler would be taller than, stronger than, and tougher than most humans. "I'm glad you are going to take care of yourself, finally. After a lot of prompting from the bloody half-vampire laying in a pool of blood on the couch." He chuckled weakly, closing his eyes. Quickly he fell into a deep sleep.

Andi sort of smiled, seeing that his teasing demeanor was back. "Well hopefully you won't feel like that by tomorrow" She commented quietly, still cleaning away the blood at her shoulder. At his next comment she just shook her head and snorted lightly "That's comforting to hear" She remarked sarcastically, looking back to see if there was blood when he coughed. Thankfully there was no blood so that did mean the pills had worked. "Yup, I always need some sort of pep talk to get through this slow brain of mine" She teased mostly at herself, watching him as he closed his eyes and fell asleep. Andi let out a soft sigh looking at her wound. It was long as it stretched across her entire arm and it was a bit deep -Stitches?- She htought to herself for a moment before just finally wrapping guaze around it and calling it a night. She quietly cleaned everything up, from the med kit to the blood on the ground. About an hour later after everything got cleaned, she went over to the recliner chair laying down in it and easily falling asleep.

Tyler was out like a lamp for hours- and hours- and hours. When he finally did wake up it was because his leg was screaming at him. +I swear it's saying: I'M GONNA DIE MOVE ME I'M GONNA DIE+ He thought sleepily/jokingly. Tyler slowly opened his eyes, blinking in the sunlight. It was extremely bright, shining in the window and landing directly on his face. Since he HADN'T died Tyler assumed his internal bleeding had stopped, so he shifted and pushed himself up so he was sitting almost normally on the couch. The movement brought spasms of pain to his body, making him want to slide right back down and fall back asleep to get rid of it. His breathing became quicker and more ragged again as he fully woke up, everything aching from staying in one position so long. Tyler could barely tell he had a cramp in his still working leg because of all the other pain boncing around. If pain were a thing it would be having a field day in his body. He didn't move much more, having contemplated standing up and decided it was an absolutely terrible idea.
