Seizing Freedom

Mike

Friday at lunch Charlie asks how much longer before Ty can play again. I think she liked jamming with them, I tell her he has another week before he can take the sling off and she pouts. With Andre policing him steady its been the longest he's ever kept it on.

After classes I go home and start cleaning the house a bit before Ty gets home. He tries but his standard of clean is a lot lower than what I'm used to. Which is why I don't mind doing the cleaning since he does most of the cooking anyway. Even if I try to make dinner he always insists on helping. The few times I did make a meal solo was like tossing a coin as to weather it was going to be edible or not. I tend to wing it in the kitchen and never know how its going to turn out.

By the time I get to emptying the garbage I see Eddie's car pull up outside. I expected Ty to come walking in shortly after but I got a text instead.

Eddie: come outside

Okay that's weird.

I put down the bags and slip on my shoes before going to the car. When I open the door I see why Eddie texted me. Ty's shaking and jerking like crazy against the seatbelt holding him into the passenger seat. I recline the seat slightly so I can undo the belt and turn him a bit.

"How long?" I ask Eddie as I get him onto his side.

"Just hit a minute, It started right before I pulled up, he was talking to me one second then just stopped and started staring out the window. I thought it was just a little one till he went stiff as a board. It came out of nowhere man." He says shaking his head.

"Yeah, the last one did too. I don't know, I hope its just a coincidence, maybe he's still overtired." I offer and Eddie nods.

"Yeah, probably. Do you let him get any sleep at night?" he smirks and I roll my eyes. The seizure stops after a couple minutes and I tilt his head a bit, sticking the hood of his sweatshirt under him so he doesn't drool all over Eddies car, although it wouldn't be the first time.

I sit in Eddie's back seat for a while and we chat until he starts to wake up. He's really confused, I don't think waking up in the car helped much. He pushes me and Eddie away when we try to keep him laying down, I can tell he's not hearing anything we say yet and tell Eddie to leave him for a bit.

I sit in the backseat for a while and eventually he manages to sit up on his own. When I go over and stand in front of him he lets me help him get his legs out and turn him so he's sitting on the edge of the seat. I can tell just by the way he looks at me that things are starting to come back.

"You with us? Do you know where you are?" I ask kneeling down so I can see him.

"Home." he mutters after looking around behind me.

"Okay, help me get him inside." I nod to Eddie and we each take an arm and walk him to the house. The three steps up to our door prove difficult. Our next door neighbor got home just as we were hauling him into the house and I'm pretty sure he thought Ty was drunk. He chuckled and shook his head as he walked into his house.
