At the breakfast table the next morning Tyler was late coming out. Jackie had came to wake him up and he was going to get up but then he found himself with a boner, as Josh called it and his hand was back down his pants because Yeah. It does feel good, really good. It still scares him but it feels good.

When he came out of his room he stretched and headed into the kitchen, sitting down at the table. "You okay?" Jackie asked. Tyler smiled softly and nodded. "What took you so long?" She asked. "Nothing." Tyler said looking down to hide the blush that spread across his face.

Tyler's moms shrugged it off. "Um... do you think I could stay home from school today?" Tyler asked, picking up his fork. "For what reason?" Sam asked. Tyler shrugged. "Just dont wanna... m'tired." He said. "Okay well why dont me and you stay home and watch movies all day? Hows that sound?" Jackie asked. Tyler smiled and nodded.

"Yes please." He said. Jackie smiled at him and continued to ear her breakfast. "I'll give your principal a call after breakfast and tell her you cant make it." Sam said Tyler nodded. "Thank you." He whispered. She smiled softly at him. "You're welcome sweetheart." She said.

The small family finished up their breakfast and then Tyler sat down on the couch and scrolled through Netflix. When he found a movie he wanted to watch he clicked on it and waited for Jackie and sam to come out of their room. Sam was calling the school and Jackie was making the bed.

Sam left the house with a goodbye kiss to both jackie and Tyler's forehead before heading to work and Jackie sat down with Tyler to watch the movie he picked. The whole day was spent watching movies.

When sam got home Tyler was passed out agaisnt Jackie's side. Jackie was gently rubbing his back as she finished watching the movie that was on. Sam smiled softly and shut the door, toeing her shoes off before heading over to her wife.

"How was work?" Jackie whispered as Sam leaned down to kiss her. "Good. How was tyler today?" Sam asked. "Quiet but he seemed a bit happier then he did the last few days." Jackie replied. Sam smiled softly and leaned down to kiss Tyler's forehead.

"That's good, I hate it when hes not happy. I especially hate it when he gets scared like he does. Its breaks my heart." She said. "Mine too. I wish there was a way we could make him happy constantly but that's impossible." Jackie said. Sam nodded with a soft sigh. "Just part of being parents I guess." She said, kissing Jackie's forehead before to head to the bedroom and get changed.

When she came back she sat down on the couch, lifting Tyler's feet into her lap. Her and jackie watched another movie before getting up to start cooking supper. Tyler woke when his phone rang and he sat up, stretching before answering it. "Hi josh." He smiled softly, standing up and heading to his room. Sam and Jackie smiled at each other.

Tyler and Josh talked on facetime all night, even during supper and Tyler even fell asleep again while still on call. Josh hadnt minded though he just smiled softly when he realised tyler was asleep. "Goodnight tyler." He whispered before hanging up and getting ready for bed himself.

He laid down and pulled his blankets up over his chin, shutting his eyes as he relaxed into the matress. He didnt sleep long, maybe an hour or so before he woke up hyperventilating and covered in sweat. He had, had a dream about Tyler, he was living back next door with his old parents and his father was hurting him. Josh had tried to help but he couldnt get to Tyler for some reason.

He threw the blankets off himself and ran over to his door. He threw it open, it banging loudly against the wall as he ran across the hall to his parents room. He froze when they werent in there before quickly turning and running downstairs. He was just about to the bottom of the stairs when his mom was coming to check on him after hearing all the banging.

"Josh what's wrong?" His mom asked as he ran from the steps over to her and hugged her tightly. "T-Tyler and his-father and I couldn't- and he-" he stammered out through a sob. "Hunny slow down. What about tyler?" She asked. Josh only responded with another sob. "Okay Shh Shhh." She whispered rubbing his back.

"Did you have a bad dream?" She asked. Josh nodded quickly. "About tyler?" She asked. He nodded again. "It was just a dream sweetheart you're okay I promise." She whispered. It took a while for Josh to calm down and he ended up staying the night in his parents room with them, too scared of having the nightmare again to sleep alone.
