6. Dont be stupid

At least once a week Tyler would visit his grave and talk to charles. Hes seen a few other spirits around but none of them ever stopped to say more then a hello before going on their way again.

He was getting ready to head back home now hed been here a few hours already. "I'll see you soon." Tyler said, giving charles a small wave. Charles sent one back and he was on his way. He needed to go check up on dix and make sure he was doing Okay at the house.

As he was nearing the house he seen dix walking down the road, he looked angry. "Where are you going?" He asked, walking beside dix. Dix was looking down at his phone as he walked. Tyler looked over dixs shoulder at what he was doing.

He seen dixs messages open on Gordon's. Someone had recently paid gordons bail and now gordon wanted to see dix. "Dix no. Go back to the house. Lock the door." Tyler said. Dix kept walking.

"Dont be stupid. Are you trying to get hurt?" Tyler asked. Dix shoved the phone into his pocket and angrily kept walking. "Dix turn around." Tyler said, setting his hand on dixs arm to try to stop him.

It didnt work. "Turn around." He said moving to stand in front of dix. Dix just walked right through him. Tyler sighed heavily. "Dix!" He yelled frustratedly. Dix stopped for a moment and turned around. His eyes shifted over the street which was empty besides him.

He furrowed his eyebrows then kept walking. "Dix go home!" Tyler yelled, he was starting to panic. He didnt want dix to get hurt. He didnt want Gordon to hurt dix like he had hurt him. He knew Gordon's way of thinking and knew he was either gonna beat the living shit out of dix or force dix into fighting. Tyler wanted neither for the boy.

"DIX STOP!" Tyler screamed in panic, as he seen Gordon's van pull up at the end of the street and park. Dix stopped and looked around again, his breaths heavy as his eyes shifted around. "Tyler?" He whispered.

Dix swallowed thickly and took another step forward but hesitated. He looked up to see gordon looking at him through the window of the van. Gordon's face was stern. "Come on dix dont be stupid.. dont get in the van." Tyler begged.

Dix took another hesitant step forward when Gordon motioned for him to come on with a finger. He stopped though and nervously chewed on his lip. "Come on dix.. run home. Teleport home.. teleport to mommas. Just dont get in that van. Please." Tyler whispered.

Dix slowly took a step backwards. "That's it.. come on." Tyler said. Dix took another as gordon rolled down the window. "Get in dix." He said. Dix took a shaky breath but continued to walk backwards slowly.

Gordon sighed irritably and shifted gears before starting to drive towards dix. Dixs eyes widened and he turned, quickly starting to run back towards the house. Tyler looked to the ground and seen a sizable rock.

He picked it up and threw it at Gordon's van, completely shattering the windshield and making Gordon slam on the breaks. Dix glanced back when he heard the glass shatter and the squeal of the breaks but kept running back home.

"You stay away from him." Tyler said after he had walked over to Gordon's van where gordon was freaking out about his smashed windshield. "You better stay away from him. If you ever hurt him I swear.. I'll find a way to kill you." Tyler said before turning and heading to the house.

Dix was in the house when he got there. He had all the doors and windows locked and was hiding in his bedroom closet. Tyler sat next to him on the floor of his closet. "You're okay. I wont let him hurt you." Tyler said.

Dix was shaking. "I-im sorry Tyler... I'm sorry." He whispered. "Stay away from him.. please stay away from him.. block his number." Tyler said. Dix sniffled and chewed his lips anxiously.
