[CLOSED] why don't you give me a reason?

She kissed him back, following him to the bathroom. "I hope they just ask me how you're doing and they don't actually take me.." She said quietly, hopping up on the counter so he could fix her wing. She leaned over, kissing him softly. "I'm not gonna go if I don't absolutely have to." She said quietly, reaching up to stroke his cheek.

Tyler grabbed the gauze, carefully straightening her wing and wrapping it tight so it would heal properly. His eyebrows furrowed at her words. "They think I'm okay because I haven't had a drink recently," He muttered. "But they can't read my fucking mind." He tied off the gauze, letting go. "That feel okay..?"

[charlie annalise richards]

"As good as a broken wing can feel, I guess." She said, slowly moving her wing back and forth. She gently took his hand, pulling him over to her. "I'm proud of you, Tyler. I really am. You've done really good the last few weeks." She said, reaching up to touch his cheek before she brushed his hair out of his eyes. "No matter what, I'll always be your guardian."

Tyler bit his lip, trying not to show his hurt. He didn't want her to leave. He covered her hand with his own. "Not drinking means nothing," He murmured. "I still beat myself up every day." He kissed her softly, forced a smile. "Let's go before Jake steals the couch."

[charlie annalise richards]

"Not drinking means you're just a little bit better." She said with a smile, meeting his kiss softly. As proud as she was of being an angel, and as much as she knew she was meant to be an angel, if it meant being taken from Tyler, she'd give her wings back. Guarding the boy had become her life, and she wasn't going to let anyone take that away. Even if one day he didn't want her anymore, she'd still try and keep him safe.

She gasped, sliding off the counter. "He better not!" She said, taking his hand and bouncing down the stairs with him.

Tyler smirked as he followed her. He laughed when he spotted Jacob on his back on the floor, paws hanging loosely in the air and eyes glued on the TV. When he spotted them though, he perked and flipped over, obviously embarassed.

[charlie annalise richards]

"Aw, Jacob!" She squeaked, walking over to him. She ran her hand over his fur, kissing the top of his head. She heard a knock on the door, and bounced up. "THE PUPPIES!" She ran to the door, opening it expecting to greet Marc, but there was Nixon again. Before she could slam the door in his face, he grabbed her by the wrist, yanking her out of the house. "OW LET ME GO!" She screamed, and then he was gone, leaving her with scraped knees on the steps. She rubbed her wrist, tears falling down her cheeks. Taped to the front door was a piece of paper with 'say bye-bye, charlie' written in Nixon's scrawl.

Jacob huffed as Tyler smirked at them. He glanced up as Charlie opened the door. "Char-"
But he was cut off by Jacob's snarl as he moved that way. The guy was gone.
Tyler followed carefully, eyeing the note warily as he helped Charlie to the couch and sat down, carefully hugging her close, eyes locked on an agitated Jacob. "It's okay Char.." He whispered. "He's not gonna hurt you." He kissed her. "Just stay here with us okay..?"

[charlie annalise richards]

Charlie followed him to the couch, rubbing at her eye. She curled up close to him, laying her head on his shoulder. "I can't be a burden on your mom like that, Tyler." She said quietly, running her hand over his chest. There was another knock at the door, but this time it was followed by Marc's 'KNOCK KNOCK!'

"Puppies!" She exclaimed, looking up as Marc came in with one puppy in one arm and one in the other. "Oh my gosh Tyler they're so adorable." She cooed, leaning over the couch to look at them as Marc sat them on the floor.

[tyler deschon gryffon]

"She won't mind..you're staying here," He insisted, but dropped it as Marc came in. He smiled faintly at her reaction, watching Jacob ease up some and nudge Tatum over with his nose, tail waving slowly.
