TJ's Journey to Marriage - 15. Chapter 15

From Little Tristan’s point of view

“Daddy!” I yelled

“What’s wrong Tristan?” Daddy said coming into the room

“It’s brudder he in trouble” I said grabbing his hand.

“I just left your brothers.” He said

“Not the babies daddy, T2!” I shouted

“Honey, I am sure he’s ok. Let’s call him” Daddy said picking up his phone. He called and then facetimed and no response.

“Call Ja-wack-sin daddy!” I said

“Hold on, he said dialing.”

“Hey Kevin” I heard from daddy’s phone

“Hey JC, have you heard from TJ? Tristan is a bit worried about him.”

“No I haven’t in a while.” He said

“We called him and facetimed him and no response.” Daddy said

“Maybe he asleep or out with his dad or Kat” JC said

“Daddy he called out for help.” I said

“JC did you hear Tristan?”

“I did Kevin, let me try him and if I can’t get him I’ll call Mike.” JC said

At that moment I knew we had to act fast. I tried to contact T2’s dad but I couldn’t reach him with my thoughts. I needed help and Daddy not helping. I thought about Damian and all of sudden he appeared but was all wet.

“What wrong twistan?” Dame said

“Something wrong with T2. We need to go fast.” I said and grasped his hands and we disappeared as daddy was coming into the room; I heard him drop a glass. We got to Kat’s house but showed up in the basement.

“We got to find T2.” I said

“Let’s check his room.” Dame said and we vanished again and then were in T2’s room and he was laying on the floor shaking

“Oh no, T2” I said

“Dame can you go get my daddy pwease” I said scared and he vanished in an instant and returned with Daddy looking rather scared.

“Daddy it ok, help T2 pwease” I said and cried

“Oh no, he having a seizure; Get me a phone quick” Daddy said and rolled T2 on his side. I went and found the phone and heard Kat and some guy come in.

“Daddy I think Kat is home.” I said and Damian vanished and returned with Alex

“Awicks help T2” I said panicked

“Kevin call 911; Kat get in here.” Awicks shouted

“Oh my god, what happened?” she said

“He’s having a seizure.” Daddy said

“How did you know about and how did you get here.” She said

“Well TJ mentally reached out to Tristan and somehow he got Damian and well here we are.” Daddy said

“This is all too crazy. Let me go call Mike and JC.” She said

“Daddy why you and awicks not helping?

“Sweetheart we are doing what we can.” Daddy said

“Do more.” I said

“Damian can you go get JC?” I asked

“Where is he?”

“I think he’s visiting Amelia in Iowa” Daddy said

“I can try but might be hard, mommy is looking for me” he said

JC’s point of view

I was sitting around the backyard chatting with my cousins while Pop was cooking on the grill when my phone rang showing it was Kat.

“Hey Kat” I said answering the phone

“JC, I am calling you because TJ is having a seizure.” Kat said and I dropped my phone and Trace grabbed it.

“Hey Kat, what’s going on?” I heard him ask while I felt tears falling. I heard a lot oh uh huh and ohs.

“Let me talk to Dad and Pop and I’ll get them there asap.” He said

“Dad. Pop, and Grayson, that was Kat; TJ is having a seizure.” Trace said and pulled me into a hug

“Oh my, is he going to be ok?” Dad said

“They were still waiting for an ambulance.” Trace said

“I want to go home.” I said and started to cry Trace was holding me tight and dad was holding Grayson.

“Amelia, is there still an air field nearby?” Pop said

“Over in Mason City” Peter replied

“Maybe I can get the boys on a chartered flight back and Tracy and I can go commercial.” Pop said thinking on his feet

“Uncle Jack, one of my friend’s dad is a pilot over at the airport; I can call him.” Wesley said

“That would be a whole lot of help Wes” Pop replied

“Son, everything will be all right. I’ll get you home if I have to drive you myself.” Dad said switching places with Trace.

“Thanks dad” I said through tears

My cousins just sat there and James filled them in on who TJ was and how great he was and how he helped Dominic.

“He sounds awesome JC.” Xander said

“Maybe we can meet him soon.” Eli said

The only one not saying anything was Nick; he had been quiet the whole time. It was strange but Grayson had noticed the Nick had tears in his eyes. Nick stood up and ran into the house.

“What’s wrong with Nicky?” I asked

“Eli, go check on your brother please.” Amelia said sitting down.

“When Nicky was four, his best friend Kirk died of a seizer. Nicky was with him when it happened and didn’t know what to do other than scream for help. Kirk’s mom came running out of the house but it was too late. Kirk had epilepsy and never seemed to have a seizer around Nick but they were playing with some light and when Kirk saw it flashing that was it.” Amelia said

“The poor boy.” Dad said

“So he tends to stay to himself and rarely gets attached to people. He’s gotten bullied at school and things have been rough on him” She said

“Aunty is there anything I can do to help?” I said wiping tears

“I don’t know Jackson, he’s a very quiet person and doesn’t open up much.” She replied

“Um I know who could help.” Grayson said

“Who would that be?” she asked

“My brother Beau; he’s the quiet and reserved one out of my brothers. He always kept to himself and maybe he could help him.” Grayson said

“I didn’t know that about Beau” I replied

“You met him when he came out of his shell; you should thank Lucas for that.” Grayson said

“Maybe a dose of Little Tristan too?” Trace said

“Who is little Tristan?” Xander asked

“He is TJ’s brother from another mother and very adorable.” I said

“Don’t forget his sassiness” Amelia said laughing

“Ok, Uncle Jack I talked to my friends dad and they can get the three of them out of here whenever they are ready. He will just need to get payment and they can start the prep.” Wes said

“Ok, Trace come with me back to the hotel and we can grab everyone’s stuff and come back and get them; Tracy could you use our card and get the plane taken care of?” Pop said springing into action

“Without a doubt; Wesley can you get them on the phone?” Dad said walking into the house. Pop and Trace left and Nicky still hadn’t returned; I felt really sad for him. I went upstairs and his door was open and he was lying on the bed but I didn’t see Eli.

“If you are looking for Eli; he’s in the bathroom” Nicky said above a whisper

“Actually I am looking for you; mind if I sit a minute?” I said

“Nope” he said looking at me with his big blue eyes

“I didn’t know about your friend Nicky, I am so sorry.” I said

“It’s ok Jackson, it just makes me sad when I hear about it.” He replied

“I know the feeling bud; so your mom told me you get bullied.” I said sincerely

“Yeah I do” he whispered

“Why is that; you’re such a smart young man.” I said

“They tease me about things, like when they say there is no way you are related to a loser like me.” He said dejectedly

“Well let’s do something about that. Go wash your face and come back” I said and he went into the bathroom that Eli vacated

“ELI! Use some damn air freshener” I hear Nick shout which made me chuckle. Nick came back into the room.

“Come here and let’s take a selfie” I said

I used my phone and made sure that I also captured some of his room in the shot. Once I had a picture I was happy with I posted it to all my social media and tagged him and used the #cousins #bestcousin #iowababy

“Now let me know if someone else bothers you.” I said

“Thanks Jackson” he said

“One other thing, I want to have you come to New York at some point and meet Beau; he’s TJ’s brother. He might be able to help you as according to Grayson he was quiet growing up and when he got a boyfriend he became more outgoing.” I said

“Mom! Dad! I’m back” we heard shouting from downstairs

“Don’t worry it’s just Zack; he likes to let the whole neighborhood know where he is” Nick said chuckling

“Where has he been?” I asked

“Out with his girlfriend.” Nicky said giggling

“Really?” I asked

“Yeah, her parents don’t like him but that’s not stopping them.” He said

“Why don’t they like him?” I asked in seriousness

“Her parents are RICH” he said with emphasis on the last word

“Rich huh, so why does that matter? I asked

“They know we can’t afford anything and they want her to marry up.” He said

“Let me tell you Nick, don’t let anyone ever tell you you’re not good enough. If they don’t love you for who you are they are shit to begin with.” I said

“Thanks cousin.”

“HEY JC!” I heard Zack shout coming up the stairs

“Hey Zack” I replied

“Want to go see where the music died?” He asked

“No about to catch a plane back home, my fiancé is not doing well.”

“Bummer. You need to visit more and get your fiancé some fresh air”

“He couldn’t fly or he’d be here.”

“Bummer dude.” Zack said walking towards his room. I just shook my head and went downstairs.

I called Kat for an update

“Hey JC, the ambulance took him in and they are worried since we don’t know how long or how many seizures TJ had.” She said

“I am going to be there as soon as I can; Dad and pop chartered us a plane.” I replied

“Good; Mike, Ethan, Beau, Lucas and I are here at the hospital with him”

“Grayson and Trace are coming with me and dad and pop are coming commercial.” I said

“Ok, I will let you know if anything changes. They are trying to find the source of the seizure.” Kat said and hung up

I went downstairs and dad was sitting with Amelia looking at photo albums and the others were talking with Grayson.

I sat on the couch and closed my eyes and leaned back and that’s when I heard his voice

“Jackson, Jackson where are you.”
