Colin: 

The next day I am sitting in the kitchen with everyone else. Well, everyone but Zachary and Alexis. Zachary is still in Axle's room and Alexis is still asleep. "Hey man I think I heard some moving around upstairs. I was going to go check on Zackary if you wanna go see Alexis." Axel says as he leans on the sill of the doorway. I nod and walk behind him up the stairs. As he goes left for his bedroom, I go right for mine. Slowly opening the door, I see an empty bed. I look around the room and see her standing, looking out the window

I walk closer to her and stand beside her. "Hey..." I say as she stares out the window into the forest. She glances at me and moves back to the bed. I follow and kneel in front of her sitting form at the edge of the bed. We make eye contact for a second before she looks down at her lap, playing with her fingers. "Sweetheart, can you look at me please?" She sniffled as she looked up at me with teary eyes. "What's wrong?" I ask softly as her shoulders start to shake. "I-I'm brok-ken." She sobs and her head falls onto my shoulder. I sigh as I take her into my arms and sit on the bed. Rubbing her back, I whisper reassuringly, "You are not broken. You were hurt and now you were finally able to talk about it. I dont see you as broken Alexis. I see you as a girl who has had a shit life and just needs a better one with someone to take care of her. I want to do that for you, I want to take care of you and love you, but you have to let me. Okay?" She sits there for a couple of minutes and nods her head. I smile at her and hold her as we head downstairs.

I walk inside of room and see Zachary clawing at his cage door. I walk over and kneel down in front of his cage. "Ready to come out?" He nods eagerly. "Ready to shift back?" Another nod. "Ready to be nice?" He nods again. "Ready to apologize?" He hesitates, but nods his head slowly. "Alright come on." I open his crate and step back. He steps out and immediately shifts back to his human form. When he goes to take a step his legs buckle underneath him and I catch him before he falls. I walk us over to the bed and sit him on the edge.

"Careful. You haven't used your legs for a while." He sighs and looks up at me. "I'm... I'm sorry. For what I did." He says as he looks at his hands. I shake my head and nod towards my door. "I'm not the one you're going to be apologizing to. She's downstairs."

Hey guys! Sorry this is so short and that it has been so long but I will be updating more soon. I had writers block and I just moved into a new house which takes up a lot of my time and focus! Vote and comment and I will be back with another chapter soon!
