Disclaimer- there should be something written here, right? The question is
what.
Jesse was alerted out of bed by a yell. Knew it wasn't a sexual shriek (he knew those well and that couldn't be one if tried with every decibel) and it didn't sound like one of Tyler's nightmares- those rarely included screams, just more of an odious feeling that shook him awake, forcing any sleep that might have been from his eyes. He thrust his feet onto the wooden floor, shock waves racing through his legs. He stumbled to the door and yanked once or twice before realizing the door was locked.
He stumbled into Tyler's room to see someone with their hands wrapped beneath the teen's arms as Tyler lay loosely. "Hey!" yelled Jesse, diving for Tyler's legs. "Dom!" The figure struggled to pull Tyler towards and out the window, onto the roof of the porch, to drag him into a car, probably. Jesse didn't feel like reasoning it out right now though. Now was probably not a good time. Dom slammed inside, hitting the doorframe, instantly awake, Jesse pulled again and the arrival kicked him in the mouth. Jesse spit out the blood and Dom punched the intruder in the face. Tyler was dropped but Jesse attempted to stop the teen's head from smacking against the hard floor. "Vince!" Jesse's mouth spewed blood with the call. The stranger was pummeled a few more times before he managed to give Dom a low kick and stumble out the window. Vince stuck his head inside for a moment before turning and running outside. The car's roar faded in to distance, taking a clanking muffler with it.
"Is he alright?" asked Letty, cradling Tyler's head in her lap. Jesse sucked on his tongue, trying to get the cut to stop gushing. Vince reappeared, shaking his head until "Call Mia and Brian!" commanded him to run off again. Dom stumbled over to the trio, legs clenched tight.
Tyler turned his head and mumbled. "You lied Jack. Hurts.hurts a lot.."
"Oh God," whispered Letty. "Tyler, wake up. Wake up, and open your eyes."
Tyler looked up blearily. "Owwwwwww. Contrary to popular belief, the pain does not ebb and flow. It kinda just hits you like a sledgehammer from hell. And keeps whacking. Ice, anyone? Or possibly some Novocain or nice painkiller? How about a horse size tranquilizer?"
"Tyler, who was that?"
Tyler sighed, licked his lips and tried to catch no one's eye. "Dom, Letty- "
"Mia will be here in a moment," yelled Vince, barged in.
"Too loud!" Tyler closed his eyes and tried to block out the pain that blared between his eyes. "Dom, Letty, Vince, meet my father. If he had stuck around I bet he would have been glad to meet you too."
