Calling Jack

Chapter 7

Living Room
Ty is tossing and turning.
"No, no! Stop! Please!" Ty whined.
Jack walks out of his room and sees Ty's having another nightmare.
"Please, please!" Ty begged
Jack walks over and shakes Ty awake softly. Ty jumps awake scared.
"Jack!" Ty said fearfully.
"I didn't mean to scare you, you were having a nightmare," Jack said.
Ty is still catching his breath.
"It's okay," Ty said.
Ty tries to get up and Jack stops him.
"What are you doing?" Jack asked.
"Let me go!" Ty said.
"No, Ty you have to rest," Jack Said.
"Jack I can't go to sleep, I can't....it all keeps coming back," Ty cried.
Jack sighs.
"I know, that's because you are having night terrors. You need to go see a trauma psychologist," Jack said.
"What? No! I'm not seeing a shrink!" Ty said getting mad.
"Ty, you need to talk to someone or these nightmares won't stop," Jack said softly.
"No I can't tell anyone what happened!" Ty said getting mad.
"Ty you need to talk to someone, I know this is scary but-" Jack started.
"No, no he'll kill me!" Ty said in fear.
"Who? Wade?" Jack questioned.
Ty looks away from Jack fearful.
"Ty he's not here, and he's never going to hurt you again, I promise you that," Jack said.
"Jack you can't promise that," Ty said.
"As long as I'm your guardian and you are living here, He will not lay a hand on you, I promise," Jack Said.
"Well thanks Jack but I don't want you to get hurt...the last time someone protected me from him...wa-was Jace an-and that's why he's...dead." Ty said with tears in his eyes.
"Ty it's not your fault he's dead, You two were kids and I'm an adult I will be able to protect you Ty I promise," Jack said softly.
"I don't want you to get hurt because of me Jack, I'm not worth it," Ty said sadly.
Jack pulls Ty into a hug.
"Don't say that, You are more than worth it, Jack Said.
Ty sighs and tries to get away from Jack.
"Where are you going?" Jack asked.
"I-I'm-" Ty started.
"Ty your leg is broken and so is your arm, You're not going anywhere," Jack said.
Ty sighs.
"I'm signing you up for trauma therapy tomorrow, you can't keep having these nightmares," Jack said.
"Okay..." Ty said with a reluctant sigh.
"Now try to get some sleep," Jack said.
Jack walks back to his bedroom.

The Next Day
Ty is laying on the coach when Jack walks in with the phone in his hand. He sighs nervously.
"Ty," Jack said.
Ty looks up.
"I signed you up for trauma therapy, She will be here in a couple of hours," Said Jack.
Ty sighs.
"Okay Jack," Said Ty unsure.
Jack walks back into the kitchen.

In The Kitchen
"How did Ty take it?" Lisa asked.
Jack sighs.
"He wasn't very happy about it... I can't let him keep having these nightmare's lis." Jack Said
"I'm sure he knows that," Lisa said.
"I hope so," Jack Said.
Tim walks into the kitchen behind them.
"So did Ty tell you what happened to his brother?" Tim asked.
"No," Jack said.
"Seriously? Ty! Ty we need to talk!" Tim said, annoyed.
Jack steps in front of Tim.
"Stop! I signed him up for trauma therapy, She will be here in a couple of hours, He needs time to talk about this Tim," Jack said.
"What if we run out of time!" Tim said, annoyed.
"Don't be ridiculous! I know we need to know what happened but Ty needs time first." Jack said defensively.
There was a knock at the door. Jack walks over and answers it.
"Hello are you Jack Barrlet? I'm Emma Williams, I'm here for Ty Borden," Said Emma.
"You must be his therapist, come on in." Jack said.
Emma walks into the kitchen.
"Where is Ty?" Emma asked.
"He's in the living room," Jack said.
"Wait! You make sure he tells you what happened to his brother!" Tim demanded.
"Sir that's not really how therapy works, Ty has to have the freedom to open up at his own pace, if you'd like we can make that his goal but I can't force him to tell me," Emma said.
"Tim let her do her job," Jack said.
Tim sighs annoyed and Jack walks Emma into the living room with Ty.

In The Living Room
Emma walks into the living room and sits across from Ty.
"Hi Ty, I'm Emma Williams and I'll be your therapist," Said Emma.
"Hi," Said Ty nervously.
"I'll let you two get started," Jack Said, and he walks out of the living room.
"So...um how does this work?" Ty asked nervously.
"Well you can either start telling me what's been on your mind, or we can talk about the nightmares I've been hearing you've been having," Emma Said.
Ty closes his eyes and looks down.
"O-okay...." Ty said nervously.
"These nightmares, what's been happening in them?" Emma asked, softly.
"I-it was about...the....the day my bro-brother died..." Ty said in tears.
"I'm sorry that must be really hard to relive," Emma said softly.
"Yeah...." Ty said with a sigh.
"Can you tell me what happened that day?" Emma asked, softly.
"I-I uh...no," Ty said, shaking his head.
"Okay that's fine, how have you been feeling about what's happening?" Emma asked.
Ty didn't even know how to answer the Question.
"I don't know..." Ty said unsure.
"That's okay Ty," Said Emma reassuring him.
"Can you tell me what's happened in your other nightmares?" Emma asked.
Ty Sighs and looks down.
"Yeah..." Ty said unsure.
"It's okay Ty, take your time," Emma said in reassuring voice.
"Most have time. It's Wade beating me...then I wake up begging him to stop..." Ty said sadly
"Okay, well Ty I think the only way you're going to get these nightmares to stop is if you talk about them with someone." Emma suggested.
Ty looks down and is unsure about that idea.
"I-I've never done that before," Ty said nervously.
"Well why don't you try it next time," Emma suggested.
Ty nods.
"Well I need to go," Said Emma.
"Bye," Ty said with a half smile.

In The Kitchen
Emma walks into the kitchen with Jack, Tim and Lisa.
"What did he say?" Tim questioned.
"Just that he's been having nightmares of Wade abusing him, I told him to talk to someone about them next time he has one," Emma said.
"That's it?! Well we knew that!" Tim said, annoyed.
"Tim," Jack said, annoyed.
"I'm just saying she could have brought us something useful,"Tim said annoyed.
"As I already said, Ty needs his time first," Emma Said.
"Well at this rate we'll never know and Wade will get away with." Tim said, annoyed.
"Tim you can't force Ty to tell you," Said Jack.

In The Living Room
Tim storms into the living room.
"Did Wade kill your brother!" Tim demanded to know.
"What?" Ty asked shocked and confused.
"Did Wade kill your brother!?" Tim demanded to know.
"Tim!" Jack yelled.
"We need to know what happened!" Tim yelled.
"I can't tell you! He'll kill me!" Ty yelled fearful.
"Stop! Let him be, he needs time!" Jack yelled.
Tim sighs and looks down. Ty looks around fearful.
"Do I still have to tell them!" Ty thought scared.
Tim then leaves the room.
"Are you okay?" Jack asked.
Ty nodded slightly. Jack and Emma walk back into the kitchen.

In The Kitchen
"He doesn't need this around him, Ty is scared enough and having nightmares and everything that's happening and yelling at him like that is just reinforcing the trauma and abuse!" Emma said, sternly.
"I know, I will talk to him," Jack said understandingly.
"You better or I will be forced to remove him from this home, Good night Mr. Barrlet," Emma said.
She walks out the door and Jack sighs running his hand over his face.
"No, I can't lose Ty again, He needs a real home," Jack said worriedly.
