[CLOSED] how to save a life.

[charlie annalise richards]

Charlie wrapped her tiny arms around him, laying her head on his back. She felt bad for him, always putting himself down. She wished she could take away his hurt.

"Please don't be so sad.." She said quietly to his back. "Life is too short to be sad. And you lose it all when you die. It's not like everyone thinks. We work really hard up there. When you look back, everything is just gonna seem like it was a moment passing. And you're gonna want it all back. Even I would give being murdered again and again to have it all back, what little I had. I'd do it again to just see you smile. So please.. don't be sad." She listened to his heart for a moment, her eyes closed. She had never before heard another persons heart.

She walked over to his side, peering around him to look at him in an almost comical way. "What if I watched over you? I could really be your angel." She put her hand over his, hoping she could make him feel even a little better.

Tyler smirked faintly. "You're not supposed to see me sad.." He murmured softly. "My job's to pretend that I'm strong, that I'm not hurting." He let out a slow breath as she broke the huug, and squeezed her hand gently.

"Come on..I need tuh' check out and start home, my brothers are probably waiting.." He smiled the faintest bit at her, but it didn't follow through to his eyes. He supposed her company wouldn't hurt... but her words bothered him. And what about their father..? He had been a werewolf..he wouldn't be in heaven would he? "Have you-...?" No...even if he was, he wouldn't be an angel..that was a humans job. Biting his lip he shook his head in dismissal, wishing they hadn't been so stupid that night a little past two years ago. everything had changed so much since then. everything was different.

Charlie noticed the way he brushed off her question, and decided to just drop it. She heard him about to ask a question, then stop. "I'm Charlie. Or that's what they told me my name was. Not even Saint Peter would tell me who I was before I died. So I guess I was just meant to be Charlie." She felt his hand squeeze hers and suddenly there was nothing but butterflies in her stomach. She brushed it off as the fact that she had never really had human contact until when she was killed.

She felt her fingers slip between his and blushed a bit, squeezing his hand gently. "You don't have to be sad at all. I want you to be happy. Your eyes are too pretty to be clouded over with sadness." She looked up at him, biting her lip.

"Well, if you gotta go, I wont keep you.. If you need me, just.. think about me. I'm sure the man upstairs will let me know you need me." She didn't want to let go of his hand, but she did, quickly tucking her hands into her pockets. 'I'm gonna smell like him later and it's gonna drive me crazy..' She thought, and heard that laughing again. She looked over her shoulder, but again, there was no one.

Tyler gazed at her curiously, smiled. "Guess I'd better hide such sadness better," He murmured. "Name's Tyler.." He gazed down at their hands, seeming to think for a moment. "If you don't have to go back yet...you could come and hang.." He could use the company on the walk back, something to keep his mind in the present. She shouldn't have seen the sadness in his eyes, he always masked it so well... but something about her..

He sighed, turning the cart around, waiting patiently for a reply as he started for the check-stand and placed his things on the conveyor belt, the shopping list soon folded up and in his back pocket. "Whataya say?"

[charlie annalise richards]

Charlie's face brightened at the thought of getting to spend some more time with him. He was almost too attractive. And he hadn't been rude to her, even when she annoyed the heck out of him.

"I'd love to come with you." She said shyly, watching as the woman put the things in plastic bags. She grabbed a couple of them, then cursed her small four-foot-eleven stature. She held the bags carefully, pretty sure they would drag on the ground if she put her arms out at her sides.

"I'm so tiny. Are you sure you wont lose me amongst all those brothers?" She teased, looking up at him. She walked back over to his side, feeling more comforted and safe by him. She really wanted to just go somewhere and sleep, somewhere no one would find her and she could get these wings out of her back. They were really starting to hurt.

Tyler laughed softly. "Mm, I'm sure I won't lose you," He taunted. There were only two or three bags and he grabbed them, heading for the sliding doors.

"And if yah need anywhere to go to, ya'know, stretch your wings or whatever, I can show you to mine and Jacob's room." He nodded, as if the problem in his head had been settled. "Our mom isn't home tonight so, no rules." Except drinking... Because Jacob was a tight ass about it now even if he sometimes slipped up himself as well.

Those thoughts really needed to stop surfacing. e slowed down on the sidewalk, gazing over at her. "we don't live too far from here, but we gotta walk."

[charlie annalise richards]

The thought of being in his room made her blush again. "I dunno.." She mumbled, following close beside him. "I don't mind the walk. I like walking. Only when the wind isn't quite so violent and wanting to literally take the hair off of my head." She shivered, holding the bags close.

"Do you normally invite girls over when your mom isn't home?" she teased, looking up and wishing she could look in his eyes again. She bumped into someone, who grumbled about her not paying attention. "Sorry.." She mumbled, walking quickly to catch up with him.

"In case you haven't noticed, there's eight year olds taller than me. Can we walk a little slower?" She was starting to get out of breath, and her back was aching more and more. She shifted the bags to her other hand, slipping her fingers between his so she wouldn't lose him.

Tyler chuckled softly. "Invite girls over? Nahh...not all the time. And they're usually human." He smirked, gazing down at her, and shifted the bags to his right hand so she could take his left. Firm fingers laced absently through her own as if it were no big deal. He didn't understand why it was so....fitting.

"Slower? We could run," He teased, but eased up on his longer stride some for her, glancing around. It was cold out, he wouldn't be surprised it there was a storm tonight. Jacob would probably want to take off for a bit. Tyler wondered if it would be better as a full human like his mom or a full werewolf like his father and for the most part Jacob, or if being right in between was the best. He had advantages of both, gazed up at the sky curiously.

[charlie annalise richards]

She looked up at him, wondering why their hands felt so right together. She thought about what his brothers would be like, if they were all as nice as him. She also didn't know what she thought about being shirtless in his room, wings protruding from her back. She squeezed his hand tighter, starting to shake from the cold.

She quickly moved closer to him, her hand shaking in his. "Are we close? It's cold out here, Tyler.." She asked him, her teeth chattering. She leg go of his hand long enough to zip up her jacket. Then she reached over, taking his hand again.

Tyler draped his arm around her, trying to provide warmth. "Yeah, we're close. He nodded up ahead. "Just another block or two alright?" And then he continued on in silence.

Soon they were approaching rosewood and city life became more structured around the houses there. He led her on, pausing to open up the door upon reaching the house. Laughter from within, probably Shawn poking fun at someone again, a soft complaint, the sound of roughhousing and then silence, curiosity as Tyler opened the door and ushered charlie into the warmth of the house.
