Mon Cheri °Tyler Down

°23. Poor unfortunate souls°

Anne reached the house of Tyler Down.
She went into the backyard and when she looked through the open window she saw the boy sitting with his back towards her. Anne could hear him crying softly.
She quietly climbed through the window and stood there a while in hesitation.
She walked forward and layed her hand on his shoulder.
"Tyler? Are you okay?" she quietly spoke up.
His head shot up and he looked at her, eyes filled with tears.
He simply shook his head and looked down at the ground again.
Anne looked at the boy infront of her for a second before walking towards him and hugs him tightly.

At first he tried to push her away but after giving up he held the girl tightly in his arms while sobbing and letting his tears fall.
He cried in the girl's arms for a some time while she just rubbed circles on his back and kissed the side of his head from time to time.

It felt like hours had passed but Tyler had finally calmed down a bit and just layed with his head on Anne's lap while he was staring at the ceiling with an empty look on his face.
Anne would stroke her hand through his head and it calmed him down.
Anne looked down and saw the boy staring at her.
She smiled at him and starting talking for the first time in a while.
"Am I so interesting to look at?"
He smiled slightly and nodded.
"Ofcourse you are. You are beautiful, Anne."
She chuckles and looks back up again.
"You have officially lost your mind, Tyler Down."
When she looks down again the two smiled lovingly at eachother.

Anne slowly started to get up out of Tyler's bed and spoke up.
"I should be going, you need to sleep."
Tyler quickly reached for her hand and softly tugged on it.
"No please, stay."
She looks over her shoulder at the boy and nods.
The boy jumps out of his bed and walkd towards his drawer.
He rummages through it and takes out a shirt and a pair of joggers.
He gives it to Anne and walks out of his room so she could change.

After Anne had changed into Tyler's clothes they both layed on his bed again.
There was a bit of an awkward silence but the boy turned his head and spoke up.
"Anne, I'm sorry about what I said earlier."
She slowly turns her head aswell and smiles sadly at him.
"It's okay. You were right and i'm finally making changes."

He nods and continues gazing at the red-headed girl.
"So, uhm are we still going on that date?"
Anne smiles to herself and turns to face Tyler again.
"Well I hope so."

He slowly reaches for her hand and interlocks his hand with hers.
Anne turns her body so she could lay her head on his shoulder and she put her arms around his waist.

"Goodnight Tyler."
He kissed her forehead and wishes the girl goodnight aswell.
And what started out as a horrible night for Tyler ended in one of the most perfect ways he could think of.

With Anne.
