[CLOSED] Welcome to our...humble home?

[tyler deschon gryffon]

Tyler nodded, sighing faintly. 'Watching them from where..?' he wondered. Biting at his lip, he eyed the closet, knew there was a bottle or two of alcohol there, licked at his lips.

Damn he needed to stop thinking about it, realized he did more and more nowadays. He huffed softly, felt he needed to get it together more than he currently did. "Mm..guess you're right," He murmured, smiling vaguely her way. He blinked, heard the others downstairs but none of it mattered much right now.

Charlie looked up at him and saw him smile. She got butterflies again, and smiled back. "You don't talk much. You have a nice voice. I like it." 'I like everything about you, what am I talking about?' She instantly felt bad, like she was taking something from him that was meant for his special someone, not her.

She pulled away a bit, pulling her knees closer to her chest. She rolled over, then sat up, using her arms to over her chest. She bit her lip, looking down at her blanket covered feet. 'This shouldn't be me..' She thought, then distracted herself with her finger nails, that one forever broken nail drawing her attention.

Tyler hesitated, shrugged. "I usually do.." He murmured softly. "Just, kinda a down day I guess. She had pulled away, seeming distracted, and he sat up, gazing warily at the door. After a moment he stood, actions faltering and hesitant, and opened it a crack, gazing around before closing it again and heading for the closet.

He pushed things aside, grabbing a rolled up jacket, and pulled a beer from within it before burying the other two in there again, sitting back down on the bed. He stared dejectedly at the bottle, realizing he needed to admit he was becoming more and more alcohol as time passed and guilt ate at him.

Charlie saw the bottle and sighed. She had seen many people go downhill, and use alcohol as their crutch.

"Tyler.." She pleaded, her wings sinking down further, almost flat against her back. "Please don't.." She climbed into his lap, taking the bottle from him and laying it gently on the bed. She wrapped her arms around his neck, hugging him tightly. That was when she realized it was him she had been looking for. She clung to him tightly, one of her hands stroking her hair. She took his face in her hands, looking into his bright yet troubled eyes.

'He's so broken.. I don't know what to do..' "We can find something much better for you to be addicted to than alcohol, Tyler.. Please.. Tell me what I need to do to help you.." She kissed the corner of his mouth, tears falling down her cheeks.

Tyler didn't fight her, letting her take the bottle and climb into his lap. Tears glinted in his eyes as he gazed back, swallowing. "I just wanna forget..." He whispered brokenly, usually smooth voice rough in tight control.

He shuddered, eyes closing. But behind his eyelids remained the visual memories of the accident...the deaths, the hospital, all of it. "I don't wanna let any of them down...they all still hurt so much.. I just-...I dunno what to do nomore... I should have stopped Jake from driving that night... I should have done something Charlie... And I didn't."

[charlie annalise richards]

Charlie stroked his cheeks, gazing into his eyes. "You couldn't have known, Tyler.. I-I couldn't have stopped the man who raped and killed me, you couldn't have stopped him.. I can't make you forget.. But I.. We can make new memories.. Better memories.. I'm your angel, I'm here to protect you." She kissed him gently, cupping his cheeks in her hands. She would settle for just distracting him for now.

"I can be everything you want me to be, Tyler.." She whispered, stroking his cheeks. "Everything.. As long as it makes you okay.."

"I could have...I knew he had been drinking but I was too worried about saving my own ass that I endangered all of us.." He barely realized she had kissed him. But of course, going to Jacob, he would take the blame instead, wouldn't understand why Tyler felt guilty.

He sighed faintly, collapsing back on the bed and pulling her gently with him, gazing up at her with gentle blue eyes. And suddenly that sorrow was being masked again, a rather bad habit. "..Sorry....I.."
He wanted to hide it, didn't want her to see that side of him. But everyday it got harder and harder to mask, and everyday he wondered if he would finally crack and make the mistake of hurting himself.

[charlie annalise richards]

Charlie blushed, but was glad she didn't weigh much. Feeling his hands around her waist made her feel safe. "Don't hide it, Tyler.." She pulled her knees up on either side of him, nearly straddling him. "It's okay to hurt.. It hurts worse if you hide if.." She laid her head down on his shoulder, her breathing becoming even slower; so slow she was only taking a breath every three minutes.

"Don't drink it away, Tyler.. Do you want me to stay here with you tonight? Do you need me here?" She didn't have anywhere else to go, but she didn't want him to feel alone. She tipped his head to the side so she could look at him. She ran her thumb across his cheek, her eyes wandering across his face. "You're too perfect to be so hurt, Tyler.." She whispered, running her thumb across his lip.

Tyler swallowed, heart racing and he didn't know why. But he knew if she left, he planned on drinking that alcohol. "I don't wanna hurt though...that's why I hide it..."

He nodded at her questioning, raising a hand to keep hers held to his cheek. "Please.." He whispered softly, dropping his hand to hold her closer. He didn't know why, but despite the sorrow and hurt, right now with her he felt complete. It was the oddest feeling, honestly, and he didn't want it to go away, didn't want to feel empty inside while he continued playing as happy on the outside.

[charlie annalise richards]

Charlie nodded, stroking his cheek. She knew he didn't want her to let go. And she wouldn't. "I'll stay here as long as you need me, Tyler.." She whispered, gazing into his eyes. She loved the feeling of their bodies next to each other, his warm and hers cold. He was like the warmth she could never get.

She leaned up, kissing him gently. She ran her hand through his hair, then stopped at the base of his neck, her fingers resting there. She pulled away slowly, her lips so close to his they almost touched. "I'm never going to leave you, Tyler.." She wondered what would happen if one of his brothers came in and saw them like this. But she didn't want to move, either. She was happy there.

"Never, okay? I promise. I have forever to wait on you.." She kissed his cheek gently.
