When the boys entered Caleb's house, it was pitch dark. Reid turning on a few lights as Tyler turned and locked the door. They walked into the living room, sitting down. Reid on the end with Tyler sitting next to him.

"Do you think Pogue's okay?"

Tyler shrugged his shoulders.

"He's okay Reid, he'll be fine." Tyler told him, as the blonde chewed on his nails.

"This sucks."

"I know it does."

"No, no you don't. Because you can't remember shit before Christmas. You don't remember the last time Pogue was in the fucking hospital. You don't even remember when Chase last attacked us or when you fucking went out with him. So no you don't know how much this fucking sucks." Reid snapped, standing up.

Tyler watched with wide eyes as Reid left the room, heading up the stairs. A sigh fell from his lips as he looked at the ground.

It wasn't his fault that he couldn't remember. He could only guess about the last time they'd encountered Chase. Tyler sighed as he stood up, walking into the kitchen. He could make them something to eat while they waited at the very least.

As Tyler walked into the kitchen, his eyes shut suddenly as a memory flashed in his mind.

Two teenagers were running, one blonde and the other brunette.

He and Reid.

'Reid! Give me back my phone!' Tyler cried.

'No way! I wanna know whose texting you!'

The two ran around the island, Caleb and Pogue smiling at them. Tyler growled as he stopped chasing the boy, switching directions. Reid spotting Tyler changing directions and turning tail.

'Reid! I fucking hate you!' Tyler told the boy as they ran.

'Can't wait to see you tonight Ch.' Reid finally was able to read, 'Whose Ch?'

Tyler's eyes widened dangerously.

'Chelsea from Chemistry.' Tyler quickly lied.

It had been Chase. He was supposed to have been meeting Chase. The memory melted slightly into another, two younger boys. Both brunette…they were maybe ten.

'Ty! You gotta see the swing set my parents got me!'

It was Caleb and him.

'Okay!'

The smaller versions of them. Caleb was still the leader, choosing what they did, while Tyler followed along with it.

'Hey Ty, do you know why those girls want stupid wedding things?' Caleb asked.

'I don't know. Kendra asked me.'

'I wonder what would happen if two guys did it?' Caleb asked.

'I dunno.'

'Hey Ty, when I get older I wanna marry you. You're nicer than Reid and Pogue.'

Tyler giggled as he swung with Caleb.

'I'll marry you too Caleb!'

'Yay! Don't marry Reid okay.'

'I won't.'

'Promise?'

Tyler smiled as he nodded his head.

'I promise Caleb.'

The two kids kept swinging together, laughing together. Tyler could see Caleb's parents looking out the window at them approvingly. Caleb's parents liked Tyler the most because he was the most like Caleb. Even though he was slowly picking up Reid's bad habits, like cursing.

'Hey Ty?'

'Yeah Cay?'

'Do you think we'll have those weird powers like our dads?'

'I don't know but I don't want it. My daddy always tells me that it's not worth it.' Tyler said, 'I'm scared of it.'

He'd always been scared of the Power.

'I don't like it either. Let's promise not to Use it unless we Use it together.'

'I promise.' Tyler chirped.

'I promise too.'

A promise that wasn't kept because Tyler had started hanging out with Reid more. When they had ascended Tyler had Used a lot with Reid. Always seeing the disappointment in Caleb's eyes when the brunette would Use.

The world seemed to right itself as Tyler grabbed the doorframe. Tyler blinked at the kitchen and it seemed stranger than the memories.

More decrepit…older in a way. Even though Evelyn had done renovations months ago.

Tyler shook his head as he walked to the fridge.

"I must be going insane." Tyler said quietly.

He pulled out some old Chinese, putting it in the microwave and heating it up.

"Why wouldn't I keep a promise like that?" Tyler asked himself, quickly looking up.

Reid had always had a strange influence over him. Tyler knew that for sure. It was probably because Reid had coaxed him into believing it was okay.

'Hey Ty, When I get older I'm gonna marry you! You're nicer than Reid and Pogue.'

The brunette smiled at that certain part. Two little boys who didn't even comprehend what the word marriage was.

"He gave me that ring pop two days later and said it was our wedding ring." Tyler remembered, "That's funny…how things turn out in the end."

The brunette shook his head as the microwave beeped at him. He took the Chinese out and separated it onto two plates.

"Reid probably won't eat until he's sure Pogue's safe." Tyler said quietly, eating a little.

He may not have remembered much, but he knew that the blonde cared deeply for the older boy. Even if they may not have gotten along all the time.

Had Tyler loved Chase at one point? It had to make some sort of sense since he dated the guy.

No…no he hadn't. Chase wasn't someone he could love. The boy had treated him like a doll. Once played with, Tyler went back on the shelf until he wanted to play with him again. Even then Tyler had been in love with Caleb. It had always been Caleb.

How hadn't Chase noticed it? How whenever Caleb was around them, he'd stare at the older boy longingly. How had Chase missed it?

But no, he hadn't been in Chase at all. Chase was a replacement of Caleb. Someone to try to help fill that void in his heart that was just pure Caleb. Smiling whenever the older boy paid Tyler compliments.

Tyler looked up when he heard a crash from upstairs. Putting his fork down he moved towards the stairs in the front hall.

"Reid, you okay?" Tyler asked.

He wanted to tell the blonde he was remembering, but at the same time didn't want to be around the blonde in case he blew up again.

"Reid, did you fall or something?" Tyler tried again.

The brunette sighed as he went back to the kitchen. He picked up his fork again and started to eat slowly.

He wondered when Caleb would call them. It might help Reid wind down. The blonde needed to relax right now. Pogue was in the hospital, he was perfectly safe from Chase.

Looking up again, Tyler heard another crash. Sighing he put his fork down again, going back out to the front hall.

"Reid, what the hell are you doing up there?" Tyler called up the stairs.

Sighing when no one answered Tyler finally decided to just go upstairs and find out.

"I swear Reid, if I come upstairs and you're asleep or something I'm kicking your pasty ass." Tyler promised.

He couldn't keep it though. Tyler couldn't hurt the blonde, and if he was breaking things as a form of therapy then who was Tyler to stop him?

When Tyler made it to the room where the crashing had come from he stepped in.

"Reid, what are you doing?" Tyler asked, seeing the blonde on the ground, "Reid?"

He got to his knees, turning the boy over. The blonde's eyes were closed, a little trail of blood coming from his head.

"Shit Reid, are you okay?" Tyler asked, tapping the boy's cheek.

When he didn't get a response he stood up to get downstairs to a phone. Stopping when he saw Chase close the door.
