Hounded

43. Now more than ever

Tyler had put his sunglasses and headphones on after the man had left, momma Dun was inspecting him and dix for injuries. She put a bandage on Tyler's neck where the needle was because it was bleeding a bit, other then a few new bruises him and dix were fine though.

Everyone went back to sleep after everything settled down. Everyone besides tyler. He stayed up in case something else happened. Nothing did though. In the morning everyone went downstairs to eat breakfast and talk more about what happened last night.

Tyler was acting strange though. He was quiet all morning and he kept zoning out. Dix kept staring at him only raising the suspicion that something was off with Tyler but Tyler kept insisting he was fine, that he was just tired.

Over the next little while Tyler's behavior had everyone questioning whether or not Tyler was okay. This morning when Josh woke up Tyler and dix were sitting on the bed next to him, they sat across from each other both sitting with their legs crossed as they stared at each other intensely. Both their eyes glowing. They just sat there like that.

Josh sat up and furrowed his eyebrows. "What are you guys doing?" He asked, furrowing his eyebrows more when he didnt get a response. "Hello?" He asked waving his hand in between the two of them. Neither of them reacted. He gently set his hand on Tyler's shoulder and Tyler jumped, looking over at him.

He looked around the room for a second, as did dix, the both of them looking disoriented and confused. "You okay?" Josh asked. Tyler nodded slowly but he wasnt a hundred percent sure of himself. "What were yous doing?" Josh asked. "I'm not sure." Tyler whispered.

As the days past the weirder things got, the more Tyler and dix would stare at each other like that and the more worried the family got. Tyler and dix sat alone in the living room watching TV one day. Josh's siblings gone out with friends and Josh and his parents in the kitchen making supper.

They stopped what they were doing when there was a loud bang in the living room followed by growling and whimpering. They quickly ran into the living room to see dix pinned to the floor, tyler sat on his stomach as he repeatedly punched him, his other hand gripping dixs shirt.

Both their eyes were glowing again but the difference was that dix looked scared and Tyler looked pissed off. "Tyler! What are you- stop it!" Momma Dun yelled. Tyler seemed like he couldnt hear her. Josh ran over and grabbed Tyler's arm, to stop him from hitting dix again.

Tyler jumped slightly and looked around. He looked down at his hands, his eyes widening. He let go off dix before Josh shoved him off of the boy. Tyler sat on the floor, staring at dix as momma Dun and mr. Dun ran over to him. "What were you doing?" Josh asked him.

Tyler looked at him before looking down at his hands. He looked confused and scared. He looked back ar dix as the boy was picked up. Dix was crying. Josh shook his head slightly, like he was disappointed or upset with Tyler before going over with dix and his parents.

Tyler watched him go and he couldnt explain the way he was feeling. He was scared and confused and he felt an ache in his chest knowing Josh was upset with him. He didnt  know why Josh was upset, he didnt know what happened but he felt like he wasnt wanted.

Everyone was focused on dix and Tyler felt like he was being looked down on, like he had done something horrible and he was being punished. He pushed himself up and no one even noticed as he left the room. He put his shoes on and left the house quietly.

He wasnt sure where he was going, or why he was going. He just felt like he needed to go, so he did. He walked with his head down, shoving his hands in his pockets. He felt so horrible and his thoughts were loud. He felt like he was finally becoming the monster dr. Hassen always said he was. Now more then ever.

After a while he found himself at his and Josh's house. He looked around. He was expecting people from the hospital to have the place guarded or something but no one was around.

He went got the spare key from irs hiding place in the front yard and headed inside. No one was inside either. He shut the door behind himself and headed upstiars. He found his bong and lighter in the bedroom. He grabbed them and scavenged for the rest of his stuff before sitting on the bed and inhaling the drug.
