Tristan's High School Life - 18. Chapter 18

Hunter’s POV

Everyone looked at Dad as he took a seat on the couch and had tears in his eyes

“I used to hear my dad all the time” Dad said “I stopped hearing him a long time ago”

“Maybe you just weren’t listening” I retorted

“Maybe” Dad replied softly “Where did you see him”

“In Grandma’s lab” I said

“Lab?” Grandma CC asked curiously

“She never stopped working” I said “She was with us before we were born”

“Sounds just like her, always working” Grandma said sarcastically

“I heard that” Jillian said telepathically

Tristan’s POV

While everyone was grilling Hunter on the Lab I decided to occupy myself

T: Hey Jus, How r u?

J: T! Been better; Julian and I were jumped and left for dead

T: OMG!

J: Yeah someone found us they think and set off the fire alarm to help find us

T: Are you hurt?

J: Just a few bruises, cuts and nasty head wounds

T: I’m glad you’re ok. How about Julian?

J: He had more injuries and they have him in a coma so he doesn’t feel any pain

I was fuming since I knew my dads were the root cause of the injuries but I couldn’t tell Justin that.

T: Is there anything I can do?

J: He’s not allowed many visitors but I’ve been by his side when they let me.

T: I am so sorry Jus.

J: Thanks T gotta go mom and doc are here

T: Keep me posted

I sat there and started to get angrier by the minute and decided something needed to be done so I stormed downstairs where everyone was talking

“Where are my dads” I yelled at Hunter

“Dead” he replied

“Are you sure?” I said

“Tristan, what’s wrong” TJ said looking at me

“Julian is in a coma and he sustained a lot of injuries from being jumped” I growled

“I see” TJ replied “Can you heal him?”

“I didn’t think of that” I replied cooling down

“Can you be invisible?” Hunter asked

“Never tried it” I said looking between him and Damian

“Don’t ask me, never done it” Damian replied

All of a sudden Hunter disappeared and I felt someone hug me

“Hunter?” I said skeptically as everyone looked at me and Hunter reappeared

“Back in a jiff” Hunter said and was gone again

“TJ did you know he could do this?” I asked

“I had no clue” he replied

“Me either” CC chimed in “It’s like he’s an improved version”

“It is infuriating” I said

“Why because he can do things you can’t?” TJ asked

“Yeah it’s like he’s showing off” I said

“Maybe he can teach us?” Damian asked

“Maybe” Grandma CC said

All of a sudden Hunter was back and grinning

“So I checked on Daddy and he’s doing better and got some tips on how to help him and Julian from Grandma” Hunter began “ Grandpa told me to remind you that it always doesn’t fix stuff”

“So you can help Julian?” I asked

“I think so” Hunter replied

“Do you know what won’t be fixed” TJ asked and Hunter look down at his feet

“This doesn’t look good” I said taking a seat

“Julian will have memory issues and as for Daddy we have to be really careful” Hunter said on the verge of crying

“What’s wrong” TJ said sitting next to Hunter

“Daddy has to be so careful and no stress at all; it could kill him” Hunter said breaking into a sob and TJ embraced him but I could see the tears in his eyes

“I can’t believe my dads could do this” I said

“They wanted to destroy you” Jillian said telepathically “They took every avenue possible”

“Why couldn’t they be stopped?” I said sniffling

“We knew they were up to something but not what” Jillian said “Once we knew we worked with Hunter to destroy them and before you ask why him; he was the one with no connection and killing them was easier for him”

“That an interesting fact” Grandma CC said

“Now that we know they are gone we can only work to fix what they messed up” Some guy said

“Ddddad?” TJ said

“He is finally listening” the man said laughing “Yes mini it is me”

“Hi Dad” TJ said sounding like a little kid causing us to laugh

“Now that everyone is listening, we need to make sure you understand what Hunter told you” TJ’s dad said

“What will be the issue Julian’s memory” I said jumping in

“Ah Tristan right to the point, he’s going to have a lot issues remembering the past and more so his time with his brother” TJ’s dad said

“That could destroy Justin” I said “They were so close”

“I know Tristan but when it comes to memory it can be difficult to restore” Jillian said

“Restore?” TJ cut in “Did they wipe his memory?”

“Yes and they were about to do Justin when you showed up” Jillian said

“Can I go back in time and fix it?” he asked

“No because it could have dire consequences” Jillian said

“Well what can we do?” TJ asked

“Hunter is going to speed up Julian’s healing but outside of that we wait” Jillian said

“What about Jackson” I asked

“He is going to recover but has a long road ahead of him, not only were they destroying you but it put TJ in the crosshairs” Jillian said

“So what happened to them?” I asked

“Well you know I put Jeff in the crystal ball” Hunter began “He attempted to break out way too many times so he was trapped for life, so I decided two birds one stone and I blew Kevin up”

“Blew him up?” I shrieked

“Yeah that’s why there was so much debris” Hunter said “Then I restored the room in seconds”

“So they are both gone?” I asked

“Yes, we made sure of it” TJ’s dad said

“What about Grandpa Bob?” I asked

“Ah poor Bob didn’t see Hunter coming” Jillian began “He had just began learning to do what he calls the Weasly move and he had a lot of success”

“We were all surprised by the results” TJ’s dad said

“So what happens now?” I asked aloud

“We can still go through with the adoption” TJ said “I am going to need to take care of Jackson”

“No honey you can’t give up your life” Grandma CC said

“I talked to the board this morning” Grandpa Tracy replied “I am going to step back as President and take a part-time roll in admissions”

“Pop you can’t do that” TJ said

“I will do anything for my son” he replied “It was me or Jack and what he does it more valuable”

“I am also going part-time with the law clinic at Shepard Tower” Jack said “Grayson is stepping away from the firm and taking over my duties at the clinic”

“When did this all happen?” TJ asked

“When everyone was here discussions happened” Jack replied “Tracy and I are in a place where we can step back.”

“He said you were still working” TJ said confused

“True but me being part-time is still a lot of work and I am giving a lot of responsibility to Grayson that allows me to step away” Jack said

“We can help too” the great-grandparents said at the same time

“Did you ever sell the place in Pennsylvania?” Great-Grandma Helen asked

“Yes it was sold quite some time ago, as preferred to live in the city” TJ said

“There are still places in the building TJ and I are in” Grandma CC said

“They are out of our reach financially” Helen replied

“Non-sense, I own the entire building. I will have Jasper my project manager contact you to design the space” CC said

“We can’t ask you for this” Stan said

“You’re not asking I’m giving it to you to be close to your son” CC said “The spaces have been empty for a while now”

“We can live together” Beth replied

“While the floors are quite huge and I know it would be a lot for you but you may enjoy separate quarters especially when you have visitors” CC said “Talk with Jasper and he’ll go over everything”

“Wait until you see the view” Hunter said excitedly

“The view is nice” TJ agreed

“Can I have my own floor?” I asked amused

“What? Why?” TJ asked

“I’m just joking or am I?” I said laughing

“He just wants a sex den” Hunter blurted out

“A what!?” everyone said
