The meaning of a letter

Summary:

What if Andrew's plan to kill Tilda failed?

Notes:

Hello, everyone! I actually wrote the first chapter to this a while ago, but NaNoWriMo has come again, so I figured I could try finishing this fic for that. With that being said, I only have a couple of scenes and the ending planned out, so for the most part I am discovery writing, so I don't know all the trigger warnings that this is going to have yet, but I will add warnings to the chapter notes as they come. Also fair warning that the title I picked is a working title. I might change it after the fic is complete if I find something better, but I have no intention of changing my account name, and I honestly haven't written that much on here so it shouldn't be too hard to find. Unless people REALLY just want me to leave it, and then I will. Just let me know. Anyway, this chapter is in Andrew's pov, and then last chapter also has Andrew's pov in it, but everything else as of my current planning should be in Aaron's pov. Hope you enjoy!

He knew she wouldn't listen when he warned what would happen if she touched Aaron again. The last thing he could clearly remember in his foggy minded state was the shocked look on Tilda's face. 

Blood dripped on the side of Andrew's face. He glanced up to see Tilda, her head covered in blood and glass shards from the now shattered windshield stuck in her hair and skin. Most importantly though, she wasn't moving. His head pounded, the lull of sleep irresistible in his pain and fogginess. If he did pass out and never wake up, he'd be okay with that. He knew the risks. As long as she was dead, that's all that mattered. Being able to protect Aaron would be the only truly good thing to ever happen in his life. So he gave into the darkness and faded away with the faint sounds of sirens. 

Only he did wake up, and judging by the way Tilda stood very much alive, looking at him like she was about to strangle him if not for the doctor at her side, she was pissed
