Hounded

55: Were safe

After a long day at the hospital dr. Dawson came to the conclusion that Tyler's headaches were in fact caused by the trauma to his head over the years. Not just where he split his head open but all the Times hes suffered a head injury which is alot.

"You've suffered so much trauma to the head, repeatedly which has resulted in some damage to your brain. So Basically your brain has suffered so much that it caused changes within it and resulting in these migraines.. typically they're called post traumatic migraines. What we can do for you is prescribe you with a medication specifically for migraines but you have to be carefuly with them. You have to stick to the recommended amount dont take more then what I prescribe or it could make your situation a lot worse." Dr. Dawson said.

Tyler nodded." Okay.. when do I take them?" He asked. "You'll have to wait until you have have a migraine before you can take them.. it can typically take between ten and fifteen minutes to start working which I know is going to be hard.. you're gonna have to try to suffer through it until it takes effect though.. other then that there isnt really much we can do to prevent them." Dr. Dawson said.

Tyler sighed. "I really wish there was. They're so bad." He said. "I know... you can try put a cold cloth on your head like we did today to try to help you get through til the medication works ." Dr. Dawson said Tyler nodded. "Okay... can I still use weed on them?" He asked. "Yes you should be okay." Dr. dawson replied.

"Thank you dr. Dawson we appreciate it." Josh said. "You're more then welcome." He smiled softly. He wrote out the prescription and sent them on their way. Josh picked it up on the way home.

"I really wish there was something we could do so I wouldnt have them at all." Tyler said as they drove. "I know." Josh said. "Ty feel better?" Dix asked. "I am now buddy yeah." Tyler replied. Dix smiled.

Josh stopped to get some weed for Tyler before they went home and the first thing Tyler did was get high. By the time he set his bong down his eyes were red and hooded. Josh was laughing at him. "You're so stoned right now." He said.

Tyler laughed too, nodding his head. "What's stoned?" Dix asked. "Its uh its what happens when Tyler takes his medication from his glass bottle." Josh replied. "Oh." Dix replied before looking at the tv and watching whatever show was on.

Tyler instantly started laughing again. Josh smiled as Tyler leaned against him. He gently kissed Tyler's forehead. "Hey." He whispered. Tyler looked up at him. "I like seeing you happy." Josh whispered. Tyler smiled. "I'm happy. Im so so happy... with you and with dix just so happy." He replied. "Good." Josh smiled.

"I'm so stoned." Tyler whispered through giggles. "I can see that." Josh chuckled. "You know what we should get?" Tyler asked. "Pizza?" Josh asked. "Pizza." Tyler nodded. "Let me go get my phone." Josh said. Tyler smiled and moved off Josh so he could get up and order the pizza.

Later that night Tyler was asleep with his head on Josh's chest when they were woken up by screaming. Both him and Josh sat up looked at each other confused. Josh got up first, tossing the blankets off and getting off the bed. Tyler followed.

They went out into the hall and down to dixs room, where the screaming was coming from. Tyler looked at Josh again before going over to dix. "Hey dix.. wake up." He said, gently shaking dixs shoulder.

It took a few tries but dix jolted awake. He quickly pushed Tyler away. "No!" He yelled. "Hey Hey Shhh shhh." Tyler said gently, grabbing dixs arms and holding them down. Dix took a second to take in his surroundings. "Tyler?" He asked.

"Yeah buddy what happened?" Tyler asked. Dix pushed up and hugged Tyler tightly.  "Okay its okay." Tyler whispered, hugging him back. "D-dr. Hassen, hos-hospital, n-n-no." Dix cried softly. Tyler sighed and hugged dix a little tighter.

He understood. He still has nightmares about it all too, Though this is the first one dix has had. The poor boy was shaking like a leaf, clinging to Tyler like his life depended on it. Tyler looked up at Josh.

Josh came over and sat on the bed next to them. "Hey dix buddy you need to breathe okay? You're safe I promise." Josh said. Dix shook his head. "I know you're scared but you're safe dix." Tyler whispered.

Dix whimpered softly, burying his face in Tyler's neck. "Shh dr. Hassens gone, the hospital cant hurt you. No one from there knows were here. Were safe." Josh said, rubbing his back. It took a while but eventually Tyler and Josh managed to calm dix down and get him back to sleep

As quietly as possible they left the room and went back to their own. Tyler laid back on Josh's chest and sighed. Josh hummed. "I hate that he had to go through that shit.. I hate that dr. Hassen didnt think torturing me was enough and that he had to do the same to dix." Tyler sniffled.

Josh frowned and wrapped his arms around Tyler and he started to cry softly. "Dix doesnt Deserve to have gone through that." Tyler said. "Neither did you ty." Josh replied. "I just hate that fucking hospital so much." Tyler said. "I know. I do too.. they dont have any bearing on our lives anymore. Were safe." Josh assured, kissing Tyler's forehead.

"Try to go back to sleep." He said. Tyler nodded and cuddled closet to Josh. "I love you." He whispered. "I love you too." Josh replied.
