Summary; William and Mary try to find a way to help
Tyler
Author's Notes: First I just want to say I am now a sophomore! And I'm on summer break (8o more days until school starts,
according to my science teacher), so I'll hopefully be able to get out chapters
faster and catch up on some of my other stories and start some new ones (Tyler
won't die, I promise). I changed the
name of William's girlfriend from Mari to Mary.
Mary Tiner
sat with her back against her boyfriend's couch, in one hand she held the
latest letter she had received from her dad. It had been quite a bombshell; he had said he was coming home, for
good. That wasn't the part that
surprised her, she was happy he was changing his designator, it was one of the
reasons why he was doing and that was so he could have a relationship with a
women he had meant on his ship. The
letter had come at a bad time, just four days, after four of her friends had
been killed. One of them being, her
cousin, Gabby. Of course her father
hadn't known that when he sent the letter, and she had called him the other day
so he would know that she was alright and wouldn't worry. Mary sighed. "It can't be that bad can, it? I mean I've been wanting my mom to marry Mulder for as long as I can
rember," William that trying to comfort her.
"But Mulder
is YOUR father! This new lady isn't
MY mother!" Mary pointed out, getting up and laying the
letter down on an end table.
"That theory
hasn't been proven, yet, but it hasn't been ruled out either," William
sated. Mary sighed again; William's
family life could sometimes be downright confusing. She sat down on the couch and faced William. "Did Val Lainer have a boyfriend?" William
asked. Mary thought the question was a
little strange (then again William was a little strange), but she guess that he
figured she would know since she was on the cheerleading team with Val.
"Yeah, she
did. He was on the football team and
also on the EMT squad, but he was killed in the shooting," Mary said, still not
sure why he had asked the question.
"Were they
close? I mean do you think he would
hang around her after he was dead?" William asked again. Those questions
didn't really surprise her that much, Mary had known about William's partial
"gift" through Gabby, who had actually introduced her to William.
"I think
they were, I don't really know for sure. You saw him didn't you?" Mary replied.
"Well, I saw
someone by Val. I'm not sure if it was
him, but boyfriend was my first guess," He said as the phone rang. William got up and went to answer it. Leaving Mary alone with her thoughts.
Everything
seemed like it was coming down around her ears. Her dad's letter saying he had found someone new after her mom
had only been gone for six years, the shooting, and now William seeing Tyler,
Val's boyfriend and not being able to help him. Life for Mary was just great!
William come
back into the room and said it was his mom (she had gone into work after the
furernal) saying she would be home late. "So how are going to help him?" Mary asked to see if he had any idea how
William was going to comminute with someone he couldn't even hear.
"I have no
idea. Do you have any I could borrow?"
William asked. Mary thought for a
little while and then came up with an idea.
"Cole, he's
my Uncle Mick's girlfriend's son. He
has the "gift", too. He lives in
Philadelphia, but I think he'll help," Mary said. She had found out about Cole's "gift" when she visited her uncle
with Gabby (Mick was Gabby's father) last Thanksgiving.
A/N: So how did you like that last chapter? Sorry, it took me a little longer to get
out, but it took me about three days to write it. The next one should be out in a about a week because I want to
catch up on some other stories. Thanks
for reading!
