A Family At Last

Blast from the past

(Jerome's POV)

"We'll be right back, we're going into town to get a hotel room. Just so we're closer to you in case anything happens. See you guys in a bit." Ian and Skyler walk out the door, leaving me, Rain and Ty alone. I am still holding Rain's hand. She looks at Ty. "So, tell me about yourself Ty. I'd love to get to know you."

Ty smiles, "Thank you, well you know my name is Ty." They talk for a little bit, I know basically everything about Ty so I don't listen for a while. Until one question gets my attention. "Why did your parents put you in an orphanage?" He looks down and takes a deep breath.

"They died." I look up at Ty. He is silently crying. I walk over to him and hug him. He cries into my shoulder making it wet with tears. "Hey. You're okay, I've got you. Everything will be alright." I rub his back as I try to comfort him. I grab some tissues and hand them to him.

"I'm going to step into the hallway and wait for Ian and Skyler." I he looked down. I squeeze his shoulders, "I'm sorry." He just nods and walks out. I look at Rain, "I didn't know, I'm sorry I asked him that." I look down, "I didn't know that either..."

Rain scotches over, patting the space next to her, "Come here." I walk over and sit, putting my arm around her. She rests her head on my chest. "I love you." She whispers, "I love you even more." I put my head down and kiss her forehead. We fall asleep like this.
