[CLOSED] heartbreaker.

[charlie annalise richards]

Charlie wanted to reach over and hug him, but she knew she couldn't. She couldn't let go of Tyler's hand. Everything was fine until this happened, and now she might just have a one way ticket back to heaven. If he wasn't the same Tyler he was before, then she had no use here. Her wings moved restlessly in her back, and she ran her fingers over Tyler's hand.

"I love you, Shawn." She said, looking over at him. "You have got to be the sweetest person ever. I love this entire lopsided family. I guess cause I never had one and you guys are like big Teddy bears. Except Cole. Maybe he's just like a blanket. But I love him too." She smiled, wanting them to know she cared, that she was thankful for them being the family she never had. She looked back at Tyler's hand, holding it tightly. She wanted her Tyler back.

"I can go get Shaun for you." She said, looking back at him. "If you need her."

Shawn smiled faintly. "Yeah? And I think you mean just as much to us..it's nice, seeing Tyler have something to look forward to every day."

He gazed down at him, then shook his head.

"I can go, you should stay here.." He glanced towards the door. "I'll be back in a little bit, kay?"

He gently let go of Tyler's hand, patting it before turning his wheelchair towards the door.

It was silent for a good ten minutes after he left, when Tyler's hand twitched, heartrate picking up some as he groaned.

[charlie annalise richards]

"Okay." She said, watching him go before she laid her head back on the railing, rubbing his arm gently. Her back was aching, her wings continuing to shift in her back. She put it off as she just was upset, nervous.. worried. She closed her eyes, listening to the footsteps walk up and down the hall, almost wishing Jacob would come in so she wouldn't be alone. She had never been in a hospital.

She looked over at him as he groaned. She stood up, bending over to kiss his cheek. She could barely reach it, being so short. She brushed his hair off his forehead, trailing her fingers slowly across his cheek before she sat down again. She took his hand in hers. "It's okay, Tyler. Just rest, okay? Everyone's here. You just gotta get better." She told him, laying her head on the railing again.

Tyler swallowed, shifting his weight with a rasping breath, grimacing. He didn't open his eyes, though he tightened his grip on her hand.

His chest hurt so bad... He felt like he couldn't breath, even with the oxygen in, like there was a weight on his chest. He tried moving again, cried out in agonized pain as blue eyes shot open with a choked gasp.

[charlie annalise richards]

"Tyler! Calm down!" She said, obviously startled. She started stroking his hair, hoping it would calm him down. "It's okay. Slow breaths, okay?" She squeezed his hand gently, stroking his cheek gently with her other. "You can't move. You're hurt." She slowly moved to the edge of her chair, ready to get up if he needed a nurse. 'They left me alone in a place I don't even know.' She thought, slowly running her hand over his cheek.

"Everything's going to be okay. Just breathe easy. I know it hurts.."

[tyler deschon gryffon]

"It hurtsss..." Tyler moaned, arching some to try and breath, but it only caused him to whimper in pain. He shuddered, trying to focus on her gentle touch, her voice. He gritted his teeth, squeezing his eyes shut.

The monitor beeped with his quick heart rate and struggled breaths, slowing down gradually, lips remaining parted as he struggled to breathe.

[charlie annalise richards]

"I know it hurts, Tyler.." She whispered, stroking his cheek gently. She started to run her fingers slowly through his hair, watching him carefully. "They're gonna fix it, okay? Just breathe slow. You don't need to be wiggling around." She propped her chin up on the railing, chewing on her lip. She couldn't reach his hair from where she was, so she resorted to just rubbing his arm gently, her other hand squeezing his.

"Everything's gonna be okay.." She whispered, praying it really would. "Do you want me to go get Jacob? I can go find him for you." She offered, wondering if having his brother here would make him feel better.

[tyler deschon gryffon]

"'Kay.." He choked, swallowing as he tried to control his struggled breaths. He eased up a bit, making faint sounds and winces occasionally. "No...it's fine.." He mumbled, just wanted someone to come take the pain away. He reached carefully for the clipboard near the bed, reading it over. "Sh-...shit.." He mumbled, careful not to say too much as he set it back down.

[charlie annalise richards]

She held his hand gently, running the fingers of her other hand up his arm. She looked up as a nurse came in with some blankets, setting them at the end of the bed. She thought the kid looked too young to be a nurse, but she just assumed it was. It was easier than asking some random kid who he was. She reached up, pushing her orange hair out of her eyes. She looked over at Tyler, stretching as far as she could to brush his hair off his forehead.

"I know it hurts.. I'm gonna stay here with you as long as they let me.." She mumbled, wishing she could lean over and kiss him. But she was far too short and he had entirely too many wires.

[tyler deschon gryffon]

Tyler shivered, nodding faintly as he closed his eyes. He was dreading surgery, but it would be better than this pain, and the feeling of suffocation. He felt like he was going to be sick, breaths wheezing softly every time he drew one in.

His free hand gripped at the rail of the bed, knuckles white.
