Starting Over

Chapter 8

"We need to get him inside to doctor these scratches." Kirstie says as she hands Tim a bottle of water. "They don't look that deep but they could still get infected."

"How bad are they hurting, Baby?" Adam ask, brush Tim'a hair back to see his face.

"They just stinging. It could have been a lot worse." Tim says taking a drink of water. He looks up meeting Adam's eyes and gives him a small smile. "Thanks again."

They go into the beach house and Tim lays down on his stomach on their bed. Avi and Kirstie searches for a first aid kit while Adam whispers sweet nothings to Tim leaving feathery kisses on his cheek, neck and shoulder making him smile and forget about the nightmare.

"FOUND IT!" Avi shouts as he skips out of the bathroom and childishly sticks his tongue out at Kirstie.

"You're such a punk." She laughs rolling her eyes, snatching the kit from him. She sits down on the bed and begins to search through it until she finds what she needs.

"Now, this might be be cold and it will probably sting some. Just warning you." She tells him as she puts on the rubber gloves that were provided. She begins to gently put the antiseptic onto the scratches.

Tim sucks in a breath, closing his eyes tightly as the scratches begins to sting. Adam takes him by the hand and kisses it. Whispering to him that everything will be okay.

"All done." Kirstie says as she removes the rubber gloves. "See that wasn't too bad, was it?"

"No, not at all." Tim says sarcastically, through gritted teeth.

From the living room, Kirstie's phone begins to ring. They all share hopeful glances as she gets up and runs to answer it.

"IT'S KEVIN!" She shouts to the guys as she sees the caller ID.

"What if this Hawes guy can't help me? What am I going to do?" Tim ask as he slowly raises up from the bed.

"They deal with stuff like this all the time, Timbo. Don't give up yet." Avi says with a comforting smile.

"I'm trying not too. But just how much are we going to have to tell this guy about what actually happened that started all of this?" Tim ask, giving them a worried look. "I killed McGriff."

"In self-defense, Tim. He was trying to kill you." Adam says as he gently rubs Tim on the arm.

"Alright guys, I have good news." Kirstie says as she walks back into the bedroom. "Kevin got in touch with this Jason Hawes and gave him an outline of what was going on. It turns out, that Hawes knows this physical medium name Amy Allan. It's like, she can communicate with dead people. And he could almost guarantee that they could get rid of your problem."

"Oh Thank God." Tim says quietly hanging his head.

"So when do we get to do all of this?" Adam ask.

"Kevin gave me Mr. Hawes number. When we get home we're suppose to call him and he'll get in touch with this Amy and they'll come right over." Kirstie says with a smile.

"Well then, I think we need to get packed up and head home." Avi says standing up.

"Are you sure? I hate to be the reason that y'all cut your vacation short." Tim says.

"Sweetie, we can always come back when all this is over with. But right now, getting McGriff off of you is top priority." Adam says grabbing their suit case to start packing.

Avi and Kirstie heads to their room and begins to pack.

"So you think this will work?" Tim grimaces as he slips on a shirt.

"What are our other choices? It has to work. These people know what they are doing." Adam says giving Tim a reassuring kiss. "Think positive, alright?"

Tim nods and begins to help Adam pack.

Soon they have everything packed, loaded and are on the road heading back home.

"You nervous?" Adam ask taking Tim by the hand as they sat together in the back seat of the car.

"Extremely." Tim answers, gazing out the window. "This has GOT to work. If it does, I'm sleeping for two straight days."

"It will work." Adam chuckles. "I'll fight anybody that tries to wake you up."

"Promise." Tim laughs as he looks around at Adam.

"Home Sweet Home, guys." Avi announces as they pull into the drive way.

They quickly unload the car and carries everything into the house.

Kirstie fishes a piece of paper out of her pocket and hands it to Tim.

"This is Mr. Hawes phone number. We'll take care of the luggage, you go and give him a call." She says as she picks up a suit case and heads upstairs.

"Good luck, Baby." Adam says giving him a kiss then heads upstairs with his and Tim's luggage.

Tim runs a hand through his hair as he looks down at the number. The number that could save his mentality and possibly his life. He pulls his phone from his pocket and head to the den for privacy.

Tim stays on the phone for about twenty minutes with Jason. Filling him in on a few things that Kevin had not told him.

After hanging up, Tim walks into the living room to find the other three waiting.

"Well, what'd he say?" Avi ask.

"He's calling that medium and they'll be here within the hour." Tim says as he sat down next to Adam, wringing his hands nervously.

Adam reaches and takes Tim by the hands. "Honey, Please relax."

"I can't, Adam. I'm just so tired and sleepy. If they can't help me, I just don't know..." Tim rubs his tired eyes.

After about a 45 minute wait, the doorbell rings causing them to jump and look at each other.

"Well, this is it." Kirstie sighs as she gets up and heads to answer the door.
