"I need to know what's going on"

"It really isn't my place to say.Thank you for calling me.Though I wish you would have done so sooner."

"I didn't know about the nightmares"

"Night terrors"

"How long has he had them"

"Since he was a kid.They were supposed to go away but the ptsd made it worse"

"He has ptsd?"

"I shouldn't have said anything.Dont tell him.Listen my advice;be patient with him.

I know it isn't for you to see him like this but just remember that its worse for him because he's actually going through it.When he's ready I'm sure he'll tell you.

That guy I brought is a doctor.He'll take a look at him and probably leave some medicine.He'll be okay,he's strong."

"Thank you"

"Sure,that's what family is for"

"You guys are related?"

He laughs softly "give him time,call me if you need anything"

The doctor said he doesn't think he's bleeding internally.Which is a good thing.But he said the bruises are serious so he needs to rest.

I sat on the bed with him.Just staring.

Look at what you've done yo me Liam.Youve turned me into a creep

The tattoo on his chest is a dragon next to it is the name Ladon

I've heard that name before.According to Greek mythology Ladon was responsible for guarding the golden apples.He was considered a true dragon.

What are you guarding Liam and why are you keeping it from me
