Part 3

The following morning Reid quickly climbed out the bed and as fast as his body would allow, down the stairs and out the front door. He knew sooner or later he would return, he didn't know why, but he would, it was a sick drug he clung to, it would never change, and somewhere deep down he needed that. He needed the reassurance that something in his life would stay the same, no matter if it was a good thing or a bad thing. He had no idea how he was going to get back to the school so he could get to the dorm where he might be able to sleep. He couldn't call Pogue, Caleb was out of the question and at the thought of Tyler he felt like his insides would rip apart. Walking it was.

Using anything and everything he could to keep himself supported and standing tall, he made his way slowly but surely towards the school.

Opening the dorm room door, he almost collapsed there and then. With a sudden burst of energy, he managed to shut the door and fall face first onto his bed, whimpering slightly when his rib cage connected with the bed. However comfy the bed appeared to be, when you are certain of at least two broken ribs, a pile of feathers would hurt.

Suddenly he realised Tyler wasn't around and his books were still beside his bed. He had stayed out all night, probably with Rachel at her house. The thought of Tyler and Rachel having sex made Reid's chest hurt even more, he was sure it wasn't jealousy, why would it be? He was not, under and circumstances gay. He settled for hurt, that Tyler would rather be with her rather than him. Yes, that wasn't Reid's best option, but it was the safest one.

The thought of lessons later in the day was enough to make Reid roll over and close his eyes, praying he would be able to get some sleep now he was safe, or safer than he was at home with that man and poor, feeble excuse of a woman he had to call his mother.

Just as he was about to fall to sleep, the door opened and who he guessed was Tyler entered the room.

"Reid?" He heard his name been called from the other end of the room, the voice confirming it was indeed Tyler.

Reid remained silent, not wanting to admit he was awake in fear of Tyler seeing the bruises he was sure he had on his face. Sleep was his best defence from anything at the moment.

"Reid, you snore, you aren't snoring, I know you're awake" He heard Tyler sigh, then footsteps coming closer to him.

"Hey man" Reid replied, realising if he spoke, the chances were Tyler would have no need to touch him, which meant he would have no need to hold in a grunt of pain.

"Knew you were awake. I'm sorry about last night, Rachel needed somebody and what sort of boyfriend would I be if I wasn't there for her" He explained, hoping that Reid would understand and they wouldn't have another fight before classes.

"Yeah its all good man, I found myself a blonde beauty anyway, but by god did she like it rough, I swear I'll be limping for a few days now" Reid lied, knowing if they believed that was the reason he would be limping for a few days, there would be no questions as to why he was doing exactly that.

"Good for you dude, is this one serious?" Tyler asked, hiding his sadness well enough so Reid didn't detect any trace of it.

"No, you know what I'm like, I didn't really like her anyway, she was just hot" He sighed, hating the fact that he was lying to his best mate but not having the courage to tell him the truth. Any lie was better than the truth in this case.

"Fair enough, hey, I have to go to class now; I'll tell the teacher your ill again shall I?" Tyler laughed, already knowing the answer to that question.

"Cheers man" Reid said before he heard the door close and Tyler's footsteps slowly disappear down the corridor.

Now he could finally get some much needed and awaited sleep.

"Dude, you're still asleep?" Reid awoke to the all too familiar voice of Tyler as he stepped into the dorm. Reid couldn't decide if it was lunch or the end of lessons, but when he heard another set of footsteps, he decided it was indeed the end of lessons.

"He still KO'd?" The voice of Pogue asked and Reid could literally feel both their gazes on him.

"Dipshits, stop talking so loud" Reid groaned, keeping his eyes firmly shut on principle.

"Wake up man, I need your help with something" Pogue laughed, poking him softly on the arm.

"I'm awake, fuck off, advice later" Reid snarled, pulling the cover over his head in a hopeful attempt for them to leave him alone.

"He's not moving" Tyler complained to who Reid presumed was Caleb after hearing yet another set of footsteps.

"Use on his ass then" Caleb half joked, walking over to Reid and literally pushing him onto his ass on the cold floor.

Reid tried to contain his whimper, but failed as it unwillingly spilt from his mouth.

"Come on man, get up and dressed, I need your help" Pogue said, throwing a pair of jeans and a white tank top at him which hit him square in the head.

"Seriously you guys, do you fucking mind, I had an eventful night last night" Reid grumbled, he wasn't lying to them in that statement, it was eventful, it wasn't his fault they would presume eventful as in eventful with a girl, it only helped his story.

"Let me guess, blonde" Caleb laughed while rolling his eyes at Reid's behaviour.

"Oh yeah. Dude, Sarah is really good in bed" Reid joked which gained him a slap round the head by Caleb, who of course knew he was joking, but still didn't like the fact that Reid was talking so openly about his girlfriends sexual ability.

"Ow, dude, I was kidding. I wouldn't go anywhere near Sarah, for one, she's yours and two, you would use on my ass if I did" Reid chuckled, an image of Caleb and himself using like the time that night at Nicky's in the ally crossed his mind.

"Either way, get up and get dressed, were going" Pogue ordered, throwing some random black hoodie at Reid which gracefully landed on his thighs.

"Smooth Pogue, if you want me, you just have to say, you don't have to hint at me" Reid winked sarcastically as he pulled himself to his feet, with help from his bed and walked normally as best he could into the bathroom to change.

Once Reid had finally got changed he and Pogue walked outside the school, leaving Caleb and Tyler to talk about something that Caleb refused to mention while Reid was in the room. He was angry, Caleb got to talk to Tyler whenever he wanted, but no, for Reid it was like he would have to book a ten minute appointment a week in advance, just to see if he could be fit in.

"So, this thing with Tyler, what's happened?" Pogue asked casually as they walked along the school grounds. Reid sighed; he should have guessed that they would do a tag team on himself and Tyler sooner or later.
