Tyler laughed with Reid, grinning widely as they heard a knock on the door. Tyler standing up and answering it. Seeing Caleb and Pogue walk in, Tyler let them in. Stopping Caleb and kissing him softly.
"You know, the only problem with buying blue roses during Christmas is that they wilt faster than they would in most other seasons." Tyler told him, as Caleb laughed.
"Wait…blue roses…Christmas…how do you remember that?" Caleb asked, as Reid held up a photo album.
"We've spent a while going through them. He remembers Christmas and after that, but nothing before."
Caleb frowned as he looked at Tyler, holding his face before smiling.
"I wonder why you can't remember anything before." Caleb said.
Tyler shrugged his shoulders as he hugged Caleb.
"I don't know, but it feels nice to remember something." Tyler said, as they sat down on his bed.
"Well Chase left as soon as the bell rang." Pogue said, "And Mr. Quinton excused us from classes tomorrow to try and help you remember."
"Why would he do that?" Tyler asked.
"So you don't have a breakdown." Caleb said, "So what else do you remember?"
"I remember what happened after Chase kidnapped me." Tyler said, "I remember calling Reid and hitting Chase with a toilet top, almost getting away and him catching me. Then I remember him dragging me to the basement…chaining me to the wall, and I couldn't Use because it hurt me…and then him shoving something in my mouth that tasted so sour and bitter that it felt like I was literally drinking poison."
"Maybe there's like an anti-amnesia potion in that book." Reid said.
"Maybe Reid." Caleb said, "By the way, thanks for helping Ty remember."
The brunette smiled as he and Caleb got comfortable.
"It's no problem Cay. I want him to remember everything too. I just thought it'd be easier for him to remember the most recent shit than the past." Reid said, "Your relationship was the last thing that really happened before Chase and I'm glad he remembered it. Now you'll stop acting like a kicked puppy."
"I will!" Caleb said, all of them laughing.
"How are we going to get rid of Chase?" Pogue asked, "I mean, that is still the plan right?"
Caleb nodded his head, sighing as he kissed Tyler's head.
"That's still my plan at least." Caleb said, tightening his hold on Tyler.
"Okay, so how are we going to go about doing it?" Reid asked, "Better yet, how are we going to protect Tyler from Chase so he doesn't get captured by el psycho motherfucker?"
"I don't know okay. I'd say let's look in the Book, but I don't think it would have anything."
"We could bind his powers…instead of just killing him." Pogue said, "It's a lot more moral than killing I think."
"A lot of things are more moral than killing Pogue." Reid said, "Like sex, that's more moral, letting someone hit you is more moral. I mean seriously man; you're having the biggest blonde moments ever lately."
"Must be because I'm dating you."
"Nah, that'd make you smarter." Reid retorted.
"If you two are done bickering, I don't like the idea of binding his powers. He'd still be a threat." Caleb told them.
"Caleb I don't know." Pogue said simply, "I mean honestly, the last time he was around I was in the hospital."
"Yeah and me and Ty were on Pogue and Sarah watching duty while you fought him."
Caleb sighed as he rested his head on Tyler's.
"I don't know." Caleb said, "We just need to figure out something."
They all nodded their heads in agreement.
"We could just fight him, I mean it has to be better than this right?" Tyler asked.
"When would we fight him?" Caleb asked, "And where? Putnam barn burned down."
"How about suggesting something since you keep shooting our ideas down." Reid snapped.
Caleb sighed as he looked at the ceiling, looking at the boys.
"We bind his powers and give him amnesia so he can't remember being a witch." Caleb said, "He could still live a normal life."
"Um, you're forgetting about one thing Caleb." Reid said sweetly.
"What?"
"What if he sees Tyler and gets the tingly feelings for your boyfriend again and goes psycho?" Reid said, "I mean, I love you two and everything, but I think that'd be pretty damn dangerous."
"Maybe he'll just wanna be friends." Caleb said.
"Dude psycho love don't work like that! Are you for real?" Reid asked, "Maybe he'll be a nice crazy and just be a good little friend. Delusional bitch."
Pogue laughed, covering it up quickly by coughing when Caleb glared at him. Tyler laughing a little as well, not even trying to cover it up.
"Bite me Reid."
"Sorry not a fan of biting dicks sorry." Reid said, as Caleb gaped at him.
"I'm not a dick!"
"Look it up in the dictionary…no wait…sorry you'd be a byproduct of a douche." Reid said, smirking as he bumped fists with Pogue, "Just give it up, I'm the King of Comebacks. The boy in your arms is the Prince, give it up."
Caleb rolled his eyes before feeling Tyler jolt a little.
"Ty, you okay?" Caleb asked softly.
"Yeah, I just remembered something else…did Chase ever invade my dreams?"
"Yeah, that would be what we like to call Nightmare on Chase Street." Reid said, "Basically Chase comes into your dreams, fucks around with you, and you wake up with new scratches….cuts…wounds…whatever."
Tyler looked up at him in shock.
"He did that to me?" Tyler asked, as the boys nodded.
Tyler slid out of the bed, storming into the bathroom and slamming the door. Coming out a few minutes later, his stomach bandaged.
"Okay, I'm going to go kill him now, so later." Tyler said, moving to the door.
All three occupants grabbing him.
"No! We know what we're going to do to him." Caleb said.
Reid stared at Caleb for a moment.
"Wait, do you remember what the book looks like?" Reid asked.
"Yeah....yeah I do."
"Why the hell are you asking him for Reid?" Caleb asked.
"We're going to need that book for our plan to work Caleb…and as much as I don't like saying this…Tyler's going to have to play nice with Chase to get that book." Reid said.
"No! No fucking way! That's bullshit, we can just steal the boo--"
"No we can't!" Reid snapped, "It's too dangerous Caleb!"
"I'm not letting Tyler go to Chase when I just got him back!"
"Well we need it Caleb! Or do you want to Use so much that you grow old in order to keep Chase out?" Reid asked, "I'm not saying it has to be now. Right now I think getting Tyler's memories back are more important. Plus we'd have the amnesia potion for Chase."
"I think Reid's right." Tyler said, "I'd be in and out anyways once I made him believe whatever I said."
"I agree." Pogue said.
"Well I'm the leader and I'm not agreeing." Caleb said, holding the boy to him.
"Caleb, nothing bad will happen to Tyler, trust me." Reid said, "We just need to do this as quickly and as painlessly as possible. If we just try to steal it, we could all get caught, and I don't think any of us want to deal with the kind of torture Chase will deal out to us."
Caleb sighed as he looked at all three boys faces.
"What if he doesn't give us a choice but to kill him?" Caleb asked.
"Then we'll have to defend ourselves to our best ability." Reid said.
"Okay fine, I'll agree." Caleb said, seeing Tyler grin at him.
The other two nodded their heads in relief before packing the albums up and heading towards their cars.
