"char? can you hear me?"

i mumble some sort of words 

"oh good your not dead" i open my eyes to see tyler or big ty as i call him for being larger than the other tyler

"what are you doing here?"

"i came to see dylan i heard you scream and ran up as fast as i could"

"im sorry i just ... nothing"

"well lets get you up and probally feed you it looks like dylans starving you" i tense at his name

"lets go out to eat i dont need to be here right now" i look around me with wild eyes 

"ok just relax ok?" i nod wearily 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

we arrive out side a ice cream parlor and i smile

" dont worry this place has your favorite ice cream i called while you grabbed your phone and girl stuff"

"they have choclate malt crunch? liar! the only place that has it is thriftys"

he shrugs and holds the door open

"youll just have to go in and see huh?" i smile and rush in when i spot it i squeal and jump on tyler wrapping my arms around his neck he catches me

"wow i should buy you ice cream more often"

"shut up! its just dylan never likes to go out unless its for public stuff"

"that sounded so dumb"

"i see that now..." we both laugh

we get our ice cream and we walk down sunset blvd getting stopped by fans frequently i might add

"your very pretty" a little girl says tugging on my sleeve her mother watching us with joy in her eyes

"do you mind?" i ask she shakes her head i pick up the little girl

"hey char whose this?"

"my name is sara"

"well sara its nice to meet you"he grabs her small hand and kisses it she squeals much like i had earlier

"your girlfriend is pretty" she says after a moment he smiles and kisses my cheek

"she is isnt she?" she nods enthusiastically  

i give her back to her mom after they take a few pictures 

he throws away our ice cream and we walk he grabs my hand cautiously i tighten my grip to allow him 

"lets go in here" its a zebra wall pattern tattoo parlor

"ok if you want to"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

twenty minutes later i we leave and i have my industrial piericed  and my nose

"you are a wild card"

"i just make it up as i go"

"thats a good spirit" i smile at him 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

when tyler drops me off and im inside dylans standing in the doorway with a angry scowl on his face

"where were you?"

"out"

"dont get smart with me char!"

"i was on a date with tyler" hurt shadows his features he does something id never expect he grabs my jaw

"dont tempt me char and dont do it again"

"your not my dad dylan i have a dad given hes dead doesnt mean you take his place!"

"im your boyfriend charolette!"

"if you dont have to be exculsive neither do i"

"can i explain what happened anyway?" he whispers with shame on his face

i nod with a expressionless face though on the inside im falling apart

"the night we were together i went to her because she called me saying she needed me she didnt feel right and being the newest member of the pack before you i needed to make sure she wasnt going to do anything stupid so i went to her and my impusle took over i swear i wanted it to be you i tried to stop i kept calling your name like you were going to show up and fix it i messed up char i know i did please just try to understand"

"im sorry dyll but i cant just forget you fucked your beta thats not ok"

"i know but can we start over"

"its hard to start over a whole life of friendship because you messed up"

"please" he begged

"i need time" i go to walk past him into our room but he grabs me and pins me to the wall his eyes glowing i stay still afraid to ruin the moment

"kiss me and tell me you dont feel the spark i only feel that with you, char just-" our lips meet in a frenzy

he grabs me thighs and wraps my legs around his waist when we pull apart for air my chest rises slowly my fingers loosen off his shirt

"i feel it but i dont know if i want it"

"i know you do char i cant beg forever please just forgive me"

i take a moment his fingers rub circles in my thighs while he supports my weight i nod slowly he kisses me with a smile and i feel lighter

that night was the first peaceful one since i got sick
