Carl took his gun and put it in his pocket as he walked the street of Chicago looking around. He stopped in front of a blue house and opened the fence. Angrily he pound on the door until a tall, blonde haired boy opened it. It was Tyler. Carl immediately took his gun out and pistol whipped him.
"What the fuck man!" Tyler yelled as he fell to the floor. Carl jumped on him and started to beat the fuck out of him until he was all bloody and bruised.
"Stay the fuck away from Tiana or next time i'll fucking kill you." Carl yelled as he walked way leaving Tyler barely conscious. He pulled out his phone and quickly dialed a number.
"Hey baby" Said a voice from the phone.
"We're done, Kylie. I love someone else." Carl said ask he hung up the phone and pulled out a pack of cigarettes.

"I'm so glad your okay, you had me really worried." Debbie said to Tiana as they sat and talked.
"I feel really bad that I scared everyone." Tiana replied sadly.
"Were just happy that your okay" Debbie smiled. "But why were you were always high or drunk?"
"Everything just hurt so bad, I had to turn it off."
"Maybe try therapy next time okay?"
"Yeah" Tiana half smiled as Carl walked into the kitchen with blood on his hands and shirt.
"Oh my god, what happened?" Tiana asked running over to him.
"Nothing, just something I had to take care of." He shrugged. Tiana stared at him with a worried look on her face. She hoped he didn't do something he would regret later.
"Can we talk?" Carl asked.
"Yeah sure" Tiana replied following him to his room.
"I don't think you should do any more drugs or drink for a while." He said as they sat down on his bed. "Your never sober anymore, it's not good for you."
"Yeah I know." She said staring at to floor.
"I'm serious, Tiana. You can't keep being reckless."
"I know I'm sorry, I was just so low...." Her voice cracked as she put her head in her hands. "I don't know what I'm doing anymore."
"I think you should get help." He said softly. "I love you and I care about you."
"Okay" she whispered. "I love you too."

"She's ready for you dear!" The receptionist told Tiana as she point to a room at the back. The Gallagher's and her mom had suggested that she talk to someone, so she was at the therapist office with Carl. As they walked to the office Carl grabbed her hand and gave it a little squeeze.
"So what brings you here today?" The therapist asked Tiana as they sat down.
"I'm fine honestly but my family insisted that I come here." Tiana shrugged.
"She's been acting really sad lately." Carl told the therapist since Tiana wouldn't.
"What do you mean?" The therapist asked Carl.
She's always moping around and sometimes she never gets out of bed. The only time she's happy is when she is high or drunk. She's also really reckless like she doesn't care about life anymore. She does all different types of drugs and drinks every single day."
Carl explained.
"Do you think this is true, Tiana?" The therapist asked her.
"Yeah i guess but it's not a big deal." She mumbled as she put her airpods in trying to ignore the whole situation.
"Unfortunately, it sounds like she has severe depression and substance abuse." The therapist told Carl. His heart dropped immediately as he looked over at Tiana who was staring out the window clearly not listening.
"I'm going to give you a prescription for some anti- depressants, make sure she takes 2 everyday, and as far as the substance abuse don't let her do anymore drugs or drink. It will only make her depression worse." The therapist said handing Carl a piece of paper.
"Let's go, love." Carl said to Tiana as he grabbed her hand and walked out of the office.
