Tyler sighed deeply as he helped Reid up the stairs to the dorm room they shared. He had just been released from the hospital earlier that morning, the doctors recommending that Reid not be alone until he made a full recovery, especially since the one who had done this to the blonde had not been caught yet. Caleb and Pogue had thought it best that Tyler be the one to look after Reid, considering how close the two boys were. Tyler glanced at the blonde bad boy and sighed again. Reid hadn't been himself since the incident, Tyler hated the fact that Reid had been hurt like that so he refused to call it what it was. Tyler glared a hole in the wall as he thought about what he would do when he caught the bastard who did this to his best friend. They finally reached their dorm room after what seemed forever. He opened the door and helped the injured blonde inside. He carefully set Reid on his bed and crossed the room to sit on his own. The Provost had allowed them to get a different dorm room, considering all that had happened. He stared into the glazed and blank eyes of Reid, or what was left of him anyway. After the incident Reid had had a huge shrink in personality and barely said a word to anyone. He had changed so much from the Reid Garwin Tyler could barely handle it, but he knew if he kept trying he would eventually reach Reid and perhaps piece him back together. He wasn't sure if he would be able to help his friend but anything was better than the empty shell he had become. Suddenly he saw something flicker in Reid's eyes. He looked up locking eyes with Tyler.
"Tyler?" Reid asked softly.
"Yeah?" Tyler replied hoping he would be able to make some progress with Reid.
"Nothing. I just wanted to hear you talk. It makes everything seem right when I hear your voice." Reid said a ghost of a smile on his face. Tyler looked at him shocked. Those were the most words he had spoken to anyone since he had woken up and the first time he had come remotely close to smiling. Seeing this as great progress Tyler decided to talk to Reid and try to get him involved in a conversation with him, instead of Reid just listening to him talk.
"So did you see those nurses at the hospital?" Tyler asked.
"Which ones?" Reid asked showing little interest in them, but more interest at what Tyler was doing.
"The ones that took care of you. Didn't you like them? They looked like the girls you usually go out with." Tyler asked watching as Reid's face scrunched up into the cutest expression he had ever seen.
"They were too preppy looking. They would take forever to break out of their shells and honestly they weren't worth my time or effort." Reid said beginning to act more and more like his old self. This went on for hours until Reid had a huge grin on his face and Tyler was blushing a deep red.
"You know you touched her butt! I remember because I got slapped in the face for it!" Reid teased.
"Yeah, one of the first times you were actually innocent."
"Whatever Ty! At least I own up to my advances on pretty girls."
"You sure do. I'm gonna go take a shower. Be back in a few minutes." Tyler said as he gathered the things he would need for his shower. Reid smiled and nodded as Tyler left, but as soon as the door was closed his smile dropped to a deep frown. He didn't want to be alone, in fact he was terrified of being alone. Reid felt ashamed that he was being so weak and glad that Tyler had finally gotten him to cheer up and feel like his old self again. The others had asked him many times who had done this to him but he couldn't tell them. Every time they asked him his mouth went dry and he couldn't find the strength to speak. Eventually they stopped asking him and he was grateful to them for that. Suddenly the lights went out. He looked around warily, and saw some movement in the shadows. He immeadiately began to shout Tyler's name.
"Tyler? Tyler! Tyler?!" Reid bellowed out as the shadow that was Chase Collins began to move closer to him. He suddenly moved behind Reid, so close that Reid could feel his hot breath on the back of his neck.
"TYLER!!!" Reid screamed, as Chase grabbed him by the waist tugging his body back towards him. Chase clamped his hand over Reid's mouth to prevent him from screaming. He pulled Reid back onto the bed and straddled his waist, holding both hands above his head with his right hand and his left hand still clamped tightly over his mouth. Reid struggled furiously, but his efforts were futile as Chase was stronger than him while he was still wounded. Reid felt tears well up in his eyes as Chase removed his hand from Reid's mouth only to be replaced by him pressing his own mouth against Reid's. Chase ended the forceful kiss and began licking up the silent tears that trailed down Reid's cheek. He began struggling again, trying to throw Chase off of him. He would have Used to get away from Chase but his immense fear of the older boy prevented him from doing so. Chase smirked and trailed feather light kisses down Reid's neck, the hand that used to be on Reid's mouth moving down to his waist line. Reid felt a sense of dread as Chase fumbled with the buttons on his pants. Suddenly the dorm room door was swung open and Reid was very relieved that the door revealed an extremely pissed off looking Tyler. Tyler lurched forward charging towards Chase.
"Get away from him you bastard!!!" Tyler shouted throwing himself into Chase. He and Chase both fell to the floor wrestling around with each other. Reid recovered from his shock and quickly joined in the fight to help Tyler. He lunged at Chase and held him down as best as he could while Tyler telepathically contacted Caleb.
"Caleb!! Chase is here and he's after Reid!! We need help!"
"Okay baby boy. Me and Pogue are on our way just hold on!" Caleb replied cutting the telepathic link.
As if sensing the conversation Tyler and Caleb were having Chase threw Reid off of him and into Tyler jumping out the window and running away. Tyler looked down at the gasping boy in his arms.
"Reid? You okay?" Tyler asked concerned.
"Yeah, thanks to you. He tried to do it to me again." Reid said his shoulders shaking with suppressed sobs. Tyler gathered the boy in his arms and sat with him on the bed as Reid buried his face in Tyler's shoulder and let the tears flow freely. Tyler rubbed his back soothingly whispering sweet nothings in his ear, comforting him until he exhausted himself from crying and fell asleep in Tyler's arms.
