The Sexton Twins

Chapter 60: Days, Weeks, Months

Derrick's P.O.V.

Finally having Blake again with me; I filled him in on the week he has missed. Blake's face showed no signs of emotions when I caught him up to speed. It wasn't till I told him about how Tyler was M.I.A. for the whole week. Until I found him the hour before he woke. Blake looked absolutely destroyed. That's when Blake showed less life than when he was in the coma. I couldn't tell exactly what he felt. I gave him some space that night.

The next couple of days we decided we should head back home and leave the city. I talked with the doctors mostly since Blake was still...mute. I was able to get Blake's thoughts on how to go with mom. We decided it would be best to keep her alive long enough till we can legally transfer all her stuff to us. Including the business so the stockholders can't screw us over.

Well that's what mom always used to say. We filed all the paperwork to be discharged and keep mom here. We think it would be best to not bring her to another hospital. We have to keep everything under wraps until we handle everything. It's also suspicious to move a coma patient in this state without all the proper details. With that Blake and I left the hospital.

I tried to talk to Blake but he just gave small responses back. I decided to give him time to mule everything over. It's almost the end of winter break and we soon have to return to school. The drive back to the manor was long and quiet. I gave Abigail a call to inform her we will be returning home tonight. We asked if she would prepare for our arrival. It wasn't long till we came back home. It was now late night and Abigail welcomed us with open arms.

She asked if everything was alright. I forgot she only caught the last seconds when we all ran out. She also overheard mom saying some stuff as well. I gave her a quick gist but leaving out very important matters out due to security reasons. She was pleased with the small info and we talked till the end of night. We only now have a couple of days left till the second semester starts. We spent the rest of our break at home.

Some days Blake would leave the house alone. I wasn't too sure where he goes but since we are back in our city I shouldn't worry too much. Honestly things were very quiet. I kept trying to get in contact with Ty but still nothing went through. I did see him read all the update texts from Christmas but after that nothing. I decided to text Val but the same thing; message not sent.

Weird so I then texted Ash and even his number was not working. So just like that we are cut out. I felt my heart sink. No, I can't accept that we were just cut out as if nothing happened. I decided the night before school starts I'll head over Ty's place. I told Blake about how the numbers were all disconnected. He gave me a small pity smile. I think he's putting on a brave face and it hurts to see Blake so defeated.

It was now the day before school. He has to be home. Shit; even Val should be home. I drove down to their house to see an empty driveway. The mailbox was filled with mail and all the snow was untouched around the house. There's no way they uprooted everything. I then remembered the power that family has. With that thought my hopes dwindled. I drove back home lost.

I was welcomed like usual by Abigail. She saw that I was out of it and left me be. I went to my room to prepare for school tomorrow. I hope we can see if we have any classes with him. Sadly though, on the first day of the second semester; we shared no classes with him. Shit I only share 2 blocks with Blake. It's still weird to me that this high school does block scheduling over traditional 7-8 periods. Rest of the week was just getting settled in and yet no sign of Ty.

I began to ask around and it seems no one knew who I was talking about. What people do remember is me being the hot transfer student. It was a bit hard and annoying with the typical girls walking with me between classes. I just kept ignoring them and meeting up with Blake whenever I could to ask about Ty. It seems Blake doesn't know a thing either.
