(Jerome's POV)

"Help, brother, please." I hear Ty whisper. I open my eyes and see Ty covered in sweat. He's having a nightmare. I shake him, "Ty, wake up, your having a nightmare! Ty!" His eyes snap open and he runs to the bathroom.

I can hear him puke and decide to go comfort him. I hear someone behind me and turn around to see Skyler getting up too. We walk into the bathroom and see Ty sitting against the wall, silently crying.

I sit down next to him, Skyler on his other side. I wrap my arms around him and he cries into my chest. Sky hugs him from behind. He now cries louder, "Hey, It's okay. It was just a nightmare. You're alright." She tries to comfort him.

"No! No, it was real. It all happened." I stare at him. "Was it... the accident?" He nods his head. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. "Do you want a minute alone?" He nods again and Skyler and I get up and leave the bathroom.

I close the door and Skyler stares at me, "What do you mean 'The accident'?" I run my hand through my hair. "Well-" I start but am cut off by Ian, "Can I hear about 'The accident'?" I sigh and nod my head.I knock on the bathroom door, "Ty, we'll be in the hallway if you need us, okay?"

I stare at the door, "Okay." I walk out into the hallway followed by Ian and Sky. I sigh, and tell them everything. At some moments they gasp and when I'm done Skyler has tears running down her face.

She wipes away her tears and takes a deep breath, Ian pulling her in close. "His mom did that to him?" I nod my head and Skyler closes her eyes and takes a shaky breath.
