[GRYFFONS] Fairy tales don't always get happy ends

She reached over, slowly rubbing his back. She didn't think she'd be able to help anymore than she already had, which wasn't much help at all. "Spending time with you has been.. amazing. You're a really great person, Tyler. I just want you to grow up and have puppies and get married and do everything you're supposed to do, okay?" She kissed his arm gently, trying not to cry. "Make me proud. And your dad. It's all we want."

Tyler's head raised. "That's not what I want, though!" He cried angrily. "Nobody's got reason to be proud of me, I don't want any of that! I've fucked things up enough..." He stood shakily, stumbling as he made a run for the back door. Jacob was up in an instant, arms wrapping around his little brother as he kicked and cursed brokenly in his arms. "Sh..Shh Tyler..." He held on tight, refusing to let him go lock himself in a bedroom, do more damage.

Charlie bit her lip, tears falling down her cheeks. 'No wonder they took my wings.. I couldn't even fix a wolf..' She thought, pulling herself to her feet. She gave each of the twins a hug before she bent down to kiss the top of both puppy's heads. "Be good, okay?" She said, patting Conrad's head. "Come give me a hug, Tyler. I gotta go." She said, wiping at her cheek. "You too, Jake."

Shawn hugged her tight, smiling at her sadly before watching Conrad look up with bright eyes. Jacob let go of Tyler, gave Charlie a hug and kissed the side of her head. "You be goood, too," He murmured, hugging her again. "Never forget us, okay..?" He bit his lip, stepping back so a sobbing Tyler could throw his arms around her.

"How could I forget my favorite pack of wolves? You guys are nicer than the people I grew up with." She said, smiling up at Jacob. She wrapped her arms tightly around Tyler, choking back tears. "I love you.. You've been my world since I met you." She whispered in his ear, knowing he'd never remember it once she left. She didn't want to go as much as they didn't want her to go. She didn't want to leave Tyler. "You've got to be good, okay? Be an example for your brother's babies." She said, pulling back to look up at him, crying just as hard as he was.

"I love you too.. I'm in love with you...I'm sorry.." He slurred, hanging onto her. Jacob stepped close, rubbing her back. His own eyes glinted with tears. "Come on, Ty... Let's go sit down."
Tyler glared at him, refusing to let her go.

"Don't be sorry." She smiled, reaching up to gently stroke his cheek. She gave him a tight hug. "I gotta go now. It'll all be better when I leave. I promise. All you're gonna remember is your new angel, and they're gonna make you better. You gotta get better." She gave him another tight hug before she let him go, trying not to sob.

[tyler deschon gryffon]

"No..." He cried angeily. "I don't wanna forget you.." He swallowed. "I won't get better.." He growled. "They can't take you away!" He turned and bolted inside, a door slamming somewhere in the house. Cole approached slowly, biting his lip. "Bye Charlie..."

[charlie annalise richards]

Charlie would have ran after him, but she didn't want to go and ruin what his new angel had to work on. She smiled over at Cole, giving him a gentle hug. "Be good, okay?" She said quietly, gently rubbing his back. "You're a sweet boy."

Tyler sat down with his back against the door, sobbing and repeating his words under his breath. But exhaustion got the best of him, and he eventually cried himself to sleep.
Cole bit his lip, nodding. "For your last time up there, before they don't let you back... can you say hi to my dad?" He glanced at the sky, then looked over his shoulder as Shawn called him over to the puppies.
