In the morning Tyler and Josh went downstairs for breakfast. Josh's parents had gotten home late last night but they were still up to cook the boys something to eat. "Good morning guys!" Josh's mom cheered happily. "Morning." Josh replied as him and Tyler took their seats at the table.

"How was your party?" Momma Dun asked. "It was okay." Josh replied, not going into any detail about what happened, not wanting it to upset Tyler. "Just okay? Did something happen?" Momma dun asked glancing at the two of them.  Josh and Tyler stared at each other for a moment.

Tyler sighed softly. "Someone tried to hurt me like my father used to." He spoke quietly, his head down and shoulders tense. He was scared of momma Duns reaction, thought she was gonna start yelling or freaking out. She didnt though. She looked at him with wide eyes before looking at Josh.

Josh pursed his lips and momma Dun was setting down the spatchula she was using to cook breakfast and walked over to Tyler. She pulled him to his feet and hugged him tightly. Tyler sniffled slightly as tears filled his eyes. "You okay?" Momma Dun asked. Tyler nodded squeezing his eyes shut and pressing further into momma Duns hold as he tried to hold back his tears.

Momma Dun pushed him back gently and grabbed the sides of the face. "Are you sure?" She asked. Tyler nodded again but it was clear he was trying not to cry. "Want me to call your moms?" Momma Dun again. Tyler let out a soft sob and nodded his head more frantically as tears finally slipped down his cheeks.

Momma Dun hugged him again and kissed the side of his head before going to grab her phone. Josh's arms instantly replaced his mothers around Tyler's frame and he held him tightly as Tyler cried softly.

When momma Dun got off the phone she informed Tyler that his moms were on the way there. Tyler sniffled and nodded, his face buried in Josh's chest. When his moms got there they wer ein the door quickly and running over to Tyler. Tyler quickly moved to hug them.

"Hey Shhh Shh it's okay. You're okay." Sam whispered, rubbing his back. "Did anything happen or did you get away before something did?" Jackie asked. "He-he tried to unbutton my pants but I shoved him and he fell into the bathtub." Tyler replied shakily.

"Who was it?" Sam asked. "I-I dont know." Tyler sniffled. "Okay that's okay." Sam replied hugging him tighter. Tyler's mom spent the next few minutes calming him down and then they stayed at Josh's for breakfast. Once everyone had eaten Tyler gathered his things and got ready to go home.

Both tyler and Josh's parents gave them some space to say goodbye. "Are you sure you're gonna be okay with what happened?" Josh asked. Tyler nodded. "Yeah it just spooked me. It's not even that big of a deal cause nothing happened I- I just overreacted." Tyler replied.

"You didnt overreact. That's a very traumatic thing... for anyone." Josh said. Tyler shrugged and moved to hug Josh. "I'm gonna miss you." He mumbled into Josh's chest. "I'm gonna miss you too." Josh replied. "Can we facetime before bed tonight?" Tyler asked. "Of course. We always do." Josh said. Tyler nodded and lifted his head to kiss Josh.

When they pulled apart Tyler hugged Josh again. They stood in Josh's room like rhat until sam came up to see what was taking so long. "You ready to go kiddo?" She asked. Tyler looked up at her and nodded, pulling back from Josh. "I love you." Josh whispered, pressing a kiss to Tyler's forehead.

Tyler smiled but blushed, knowing his mom had seen the action. "I love you too." He mumbled. Josh carried Tyler's bag downstairs for him and they said goodbye again before Tyler left, and they waved to each other as the car pulled away.

In the car on the drive home Tyler texted Josh, saying how he missed him already. He had to go home though. He had school tomorrow and he had a math test in the morning.

Half way through the drive jackie reached back and held his hand. "You okay?" She asked. Tyler nodded. "You sure?" She asked. Tyler nodded again. "It just scared me alot." He said. She smiled sadly. "Okay... why dont we all watch a movie when we get home?" She asked. Tyler smiled and nodded again. He loved spending time with his moms.
