[Open] In the arms of an angel

[tony angel martyn]

Tony grinned at this. "You won't need me for long. "C'mon, I help coach little kids who start of faaaar worse." Barely faltering when she wrapped and arm over his shoulders, he continued to skate again. "And I never said anything was wrong with being gay. You could say I learned the hard way that I shouldn't let people's thoughts matter."

Noddig, his breath fogging some in the cool rink, he looked around. "It's really quiet today."

She smiled, watching her feet for a minute. "I may as well be a kid. I'm as clumsy as one. Maybe clumsier. I can barely walk." She nodded, listening to him quietly. "There's really nothing wrong with it. I mean, people think my bright orange hair is like.. 'unclassy and pointless'." She said, using her hands for air quotes. She reached up, fixing her ponytail not even realizing she was skating on her own. "But if you have to be like everyone else, life is kind of pointless.. Then again, this isn't life. It's like.. the afterlife. Being a guardian to a boy you barely even know.." She trailed off, biting her lip.

"Your orange hair? Nawhh," He huffed, smiling as she let go of him to fix it. "See? You're getting the hang of it. When I first did, my sister pushed me over." He gazed at her in amusemet at her next words. "Gaurdian angel eh? Your not the only one. I dunno who I'm supposed to be looking after yet though is all...how long you been an angel?"

She looked down and smiled. "Yeah, I guess I am.." She listened to him, trying not to pay too much attention to what she was doing.

"I died sometime in the.. 50's I think. So ever since then. But I just got sent back a few weeks ago to find mine. I really got my work cut out for me. It's not as easy as I thought it would be. I mean, he's got a lot to work on.. But all I could get out of him is that his father died in a car accident and he thinks it was his fault.." Her mind wandered back to Tyler, wondering what he was doing, if he had slipped. But he hadn't needed her, and she hadn't gotten the courage to go see him again, afraid she would see he had a girlfriend or something. Her face paled and she looked down.

Tony nodded. "Sounds rough," He breathed. "My mom died when I was ten, she was in a car accident a few days after I told her I was gay. Told my dad a few months ago and he kicked me out of the house... I overdosed on sleeping pills." Biting on his lip in a moment of shame he sighed. "Back here already...decided to make the best of it yaknow?"

[charlie annalise richards]

She listened to his story, biting her lip. She felt really bad for him, and wasn't quite sure how to make it better. "I was uhm.. raped and killed.. He thought I was dead but I drowned to death in a marsh in Louisiana.." She shrugged, pulling up her shirt a bit, showing him the long, jagged knife scar. "It goes all the way down to my hip." She thought she was about to fall and quickly grabbed onto his hand, laughing a bit.

"That's a slick spot."

[tony angel martyn]

"ah I'm sorry..." He murmured softly at her words. It sounded rough, and he realized she could probably relate to his sister, whom as far as he knew had only told him about the rape. And him being who he was, he hadn't bothered tell anybody else.

She grabbed for him and he snickered faintly. "You surrree it wasn't just you?"

[charlie annalise richards]

She laughed, punching him gently in the shoulder. "Shut up! I'm not that bad! I've only fallen once so far!" She pretended to pout, then smiled again, unable to even pretend to pout.

"Do you have any family here? Like, anyone you're staying with or..?" She asked, wondering about other people and what they did when they came back. She herself slept in the park under a tree. She always was woken up by someone, or had stones thrown at her because she was 'stupid enough to sleep in the park'. But she couldn't just leave; Tyler needed her.

Tony grinned, feigning a pout when she punched his shoulder. "Ah, the family that adopted me yeah, my sister and her mom." He nodded, looking around the rink a moment. "It's nice. She struggles a bit, but you know, I guess we all do at some point in our lives huh?"

[charlie annalise richards]

"Oh, you were adopted? That's so cool." She said, looking down at her skates, she looked back up, pushing a piece of hair out of her eyes. "That must be nice. I mean, not even before I died did I have a family. I was an orphan. But it was nice, I guess. A bunch of people said I looked like a duchess or a princess or something. I can't remember.."
