Hounded

51: He never wanted to

Tyler had freaked out after the incident with Josh. Momma Dun had tried to calm him down but he teleported somewhere so now there was a big search going around the hospital for him. Momma Dun had called her husband and asked him to looka round at home to see if Tyler teleported all the way back there or not but mr. Dun had found nothing.

Tyler had teleported to another section of the hospital. He was gonna go back home but he was freaking out so badly he couldnt focus on getting that far. A doctor had found him sitting in the hallway sobbing and shaking, curled up in a little ball in the corner when he was heading to his lunch break.

The doctor had known who Tyler was and where he was supposed to be as dr. Dawson had informed everyone and had everyone searching for Tyler. So the doctor went over and sat down next to tyler, gently talking to him and calming him down.

Once tyler stopped crying and had somewhat control over his breathing the doctor helped him stand up and lead him back to where he was supposed to be. He was still sniffling when he entered the room. His head was down and tears were dried to his cheeks.

"Jesus christ Tyler you had me worried sick." Momma Dun said quickly coming over to hug him. Tyler looked over her shoulder at Josh who had a black eye, bruised cheek and a bandage on his nose. Josh smiled softly at him, he had already forgiven tyler because he knew Tyler wouldnt have done it if it was his choice.

Tyler looked away though, he was mad at himself, ashamed of himself. He hid his face in momma Duns chest and started cryignagain. "Shhh it's okay. Everythings okay sweetheart." She whispered rubbing his back.

"Its okay Tyler. It's normal for an episode to occur right after or close to when given the counter shot." Dr. Dawson spoke. Tyler didnt respond only burying his face further in momma duns hold.

Dr.dawson suggested Tyler stay at the hospital until the virus went away so they could keep an eye on him and run less risk of him hurting anyone. Tyler wasnt fond of the idea but he dodnt voice his feelings or thoughts, he hasn't talked since the incident. 

He wouldnt even go near Josh, staying hidden his momma Duns hold for the longest time. He felt so bad knowing that he was the cause of Josh's injuries. Momma Dun didnt mind Tyler being so clingy. She knew he was scared and upset and she would do anything to make sure he felt safer.

When she had to get up and go to the bathroom however it was a problem. Tyler wouldnt let her go and started freaking out when she tried to move him. "Shhh it's okay I just gotta go pee." She said. Tyler shook his head. "Yeah come on I'll be two minutes." She said moving him off her and quickly getting up.

Tyler watched her go before looking at Josh. "You okay?" Josh asked. Tears filled Tyler's eyes again and Josh got up. "Hey no it's okay." He said hugging tyler. "No it's not." Tyler croaked. "Yes it is." Josh assured kissing Tyler's forehead.

"I never wanted to hurt you." Tyler sniffled. "I know. I know that wasnt you." Josh said. Tyler finally hugged Josh back, letting josh pick him but and sit down with Tyler in his lap. "I love you I'm so sorry." Tyler cried. "Shhh I love you too you're okay. It's okay. Everythings okay. I promise  ty." Josh said gently rocking him.

Tyler shook his head, hiding his face in Josh's neck. "Its not okay." He croaked. "Why not?" Josh askdd. "I hurt you." Tyler replied. "It wasnt you it was the virus." Josb said. "It was still me though. My body still did it." Tyler said.

"I forgive you though. I dont blame you for it." Josh said. Tyler sniffled. "I'm really sorry Josh. I'm so sorry. Hurting you might be worse then going back to low point." Tyler whispered. Josh hugged him tighter and kissed the top of his head.

Tyler ended up falling asleep there before momma Dun had even returned from the bathroom. When she did she smiled softly at Josh who returned it before she sat down. She took out her phone and started to play a game.

"Mom?" Josh whispered. She hummed and looked up from her phone. "Do you think after this everythings gonna be okay? Like hes been through so much.. I dont want to see him go through anything else." Josh said.

Momma Dun smiled sadly. "I hope so." She said. "Me too." Josh replied quietly, kissing Tyler's forehead. "How tou holding up?" Momma Dun asked. "I'm okay." Josh replied. "You sure?" His mom asked.

"I'm sure. Its a little sore but but I cant be mad at him for it yknow? It wasnt him. I know it wasnt and I know he didnt mean it." Josh said. Momma Dun nodded and got back to her game while Josh decided to get some rest himself.
