Abusive - Psych

Chapter 21

(Tyler's POV)

I sat on the couch till lassie got home. Midnight, I heard the door unlock.

"Shawn I'm Home" he yelled to let me know it's him. I let out a sign of relief. He does this to see if I'm up or not, love it.

Don't tell him, he can't know...

"Hey" I said walking too meet him. "How was work" I asked trying to get my head off it

"Good, how was your day" he sat his stuff down and petted the cats. "Good, slept" I said

"Good" he checked my pill count. Like he does everyday too make sure I take them or don't take too many.

"You didn't take your sleep meds yet? You said u slept" He asked.

"I did but only for an hour surprisingly, I didn't want to take any till u got home" I said walking closer to him.

"Would u like a shower?" I asked touching him on the chest, then moving my hand down a bit and pulling it away with a smile.

This may be your last together, better make it long.

I giggled at myself, "what's funny?" He asked me with a smile.

"Nothing, just let's go" I said grabbing his hand, feeling our rings touch."

*1 hour and a half later*

(Lassies POV)

Shawn's asleep, yet I'm still up, it's 3am. I gathered the papers on my desk and put them back in its folder. 'Adam C' it said, shawn must never know I got onto the case, he wouldn't allow it. Adam is being released in 2 days.

I'm so worried.

I turned off my work room light and made sure all Adams paper work was put away. I decided to grab a drink to calm my nerves while I sat in my living room. Looking around I noticed the fireplace had been recently used.

Taking a closer look, there was something burnt laying there. Paper? Shawn?

I shrugged it off, maybe it was junk mail I know he does that.

I finished my drink, looking at the time it was 4 am. Good thing I don't work tomorrow.

I walked upstairs and joined Shawn in bed.

(Tyler's POV)

I woke up, it was 5 am. Felt like I haven't slept but I know I did. I looked over, lassie asleep, I could smell the alcohol.. he drank. He only drinks when he's stressed?

I walked down stairs, and I got myself something to drink. I walked over to his work room, which the door was locked. Strange he never locks this door.

Good thing I made a spare, I got the extra key out from behind the plant. Unlocking it I saw lassie's bag. He locked it too. Although I don't have a key for it I decided to leave everything alone and relock the door.
Stop being nosy for the night

I sat down on the couch, slowly I fell asleep.

----
Stop, please don't touch him!
Stop! It's me you want!

"Shawn wake up!" " Shawn? Shawn... Tyler wake up"

I jumped awake, literally, and fell to the floor.

"You okay, you were having a nightmare again and i-" I cut him off as he helped me up

"It's okay- I uh- it's fine" I realized I was really sweaty

"Are u sure, they have been happening a lot, but-"

"Yea I'm fine I just need a shower" I said as I walked by him.

"Shawn, I know you're not okay" he said as I was half way up the stairs.

I stopped, I let out a sigh.

"it's the dreams babe, it's too much, I never explain them because u truly don't wanna know them" I turned and went upstairs to take my shower

Once I shut and locked the door

Ill be okay

I started the shower and the room began to steam so I undressed. I was about to get in when I noticed the door handle move.

Lassie, I love you

I got into the shower. The hot water felt good, running down my face. I felt a bit dizzy so I placed my hands on the wall. Allowing the hot water to run on the back of my neck. I opened my eyes.

Finishing up I got out of the shower, dried off and went to the bedroom.

I sat on our bed, putting my hands on my face, I couldn't help but accidentally let out a loud cry.

How am I gonna tell him...
I'm so stressed out

I reached over and squeezed his leg lightly "I love you" I said before getting up

I went downstairs, I got a glass of water and ate a strawberry. Pulling my pills out I got 2 sleeping pills out.

Gotta sleep the pain away right?

I reached farther back and pulled out the medicine my other doctor gave me.

Hydrocodone... thank you

I pulled two out and went back upstairs.

I placed everything on the nightstand.

"Fuck" I forgot to hide that bottle, so I went back stairs and put everything away making sure he wouldnt find them.

Going back up stairs I swore I heard our blankets move but when I walked in he was asleep still...

I sat down and took all 4

Make me sleep well... I need it... my thoughts are too loud ...

I crawled into bed and cuddled lassie.

I love you
