Andi kept her eyes on him as he pushed himself up with a hiss of pain, she winced slightly at the sound, not even wanting to imagine the type of pain that shopt through him as he did that. She fidgeted in place slightly and quietly as she felt Tyler's eyes start to study her. Andi kept the most neutral face that she could at the moment, besides the pain that made creases in her forehead and the overbearing thoughts that made the small gleam she always seem to have die down. When his eyes finally came back to her face and she was met with his question, an immeadiate frown came across her. Andi slowly turned her head away from him and just stared at the wall that was in front of her. At that moment, she sort of wished that Tyler had just stayed asleep or that he didn't know her so well... Lie, she was glad that he knew her well, otherwise who knows where her thoughts would have lead her. As Andi took a moment to think about what she wanted to say so for the moment, she just focused on listening to him answering her questions. "Well.. I am glad that you're alive.. and I don't think not worrying about you will be so easy..." Andi held back a sort of snort as she thought about all the times she had to bandage or stitch that accident prone man up. It was always endless worrying when it came to him but she didn't mind that cause if she didn't worry for him then she knew he wasn't going to worry about himself. At his last small comment, she glanced back over at him. A small smiled etched back onto her face as she saw her favorite deep blue eyes get a small spark back to them.
After a small silence had settled after Tyler's last few words, she took a deep breath, thinking about how she wanted to come back to his earlier question. "Mentally... I feel like I'm about to nosedive off a bridge" She choked up slightly but kept back the tears that wanted to form and the tightness in her throat that wanted to keep her from talking about it. "I'm... I'm really sorry for all of this happening" Andi finally fully turned her head back toward him, her eyes glossing over slightly.

Tyler shifted slightly again, his hand resting on his stomach like he wanted to hold himself together. If he shattered, he wouldn't be able to help her, so now was not the time to mentally fall apart. He was stronger than that. His eyes watched her carefully as she stared at the wall, even more worry filtering into them at her blank look. Yep, this was not good. And he did not want to be in a hospital room right now. He wanted to be in his cabin, on the couch, with her, Jasper by her side and Raven by his, comforting her and telling her everything would be okay. Truthfully. "It's not supposed to be easy. You can try, though." He pointed out lowly, looking away and thinking for a couple long moments.

There were so many things he could think about. He was human. Completely human. No wings, no powers. The angels really did it this time. And to think, he was actually doing their will for once- protecting her. Yet he was enjoying it, so of course they were pissed. Still, even being human paled in comparison to his immense concern for her. Every second felt like another she could slip away from him, into her own thoughts, not to come out again. He couldn't let that happen.

He watched her again as she started speaking, a muscle in his jaw jumping at the shimmering of tears in her eyes, just held back. His heart chipped and squeezed painfully as she apologized. "No- no, Andi, don't apologize. Why are you even apologizing? None of this is your fault. Not a single bit of it." He stated sharply, reaching over despite the pain and grabbing her hand. "Listen to me. Don't blame yourself. If you need to blame someone, blame the angels. They're screwing with your life because they're hurting me, but that's not your fault at all. I'm the person who should be sorry- and I am, so, so sorry that you got caught up in all of this." His mind flashed back to when they first met. "You probably should've just tasered me when you had the chance." He added with a crooked smile. "But the point is? This is not. Your. Fault." Tyler finished firmly, his fingers curling around hers like he was physically trying to protect her from the pain. "I wish I could fix this all." He muttered lowly. "But it *will* all return back to normal. The angels can't take anything else. We will both heal. We can return to our lives. I'll be human, but that's *good*. Then I can... just live here." He said calmly, holding her gaze. "I'm not blowing smoke, okay? I mean this. Everything will improve." He didn't even know how she could think this was her fault. It really all went back to him. It was his fault that her life was like this now, but all he could do was try to make it better every day and push away the guilt that choked him out.

Andi could see the moment her apology started to jab at his heart, she let out a shakey breath as a few tears started to stream down her face slightly. She really wasn't trying to start crying again but she couldn't help it, everything seemed like too much at the moment and all she could feel was how upset she was with herself with letting this all happen. As Tyler started to console her and reach over for her hand, that's when the real tears started to flood down. "But.. but it is my fault.. and we wouldn't be here if I hadn't left... or if I let you come with me" She tried to ramble quietly through her tears but Tyler basically talked over her, drowning out her rambling nonsense. Which was definitely the best thing in the moment. The more she heard herself spew nonsense the less anything he was going to say would get her to calm down. As he spoke more, her mind raced more to try and have a rebuttal for what he had to say. Not liek she was trying to fight him to say that it was all her fault but she refused to let Tyler shift the blame away from her.With his comment on the Angels, she quieted for a moment. It was true that the angels did nothing but seem to want to hurt Tyler but still in her mind the angels wouldn't have done anything if she had just stayed put. "but the angels aren't just to blame... I've gotten you in countless situations where you've ended up hurt... all the stitches and the bandages... Now you're not an angel anymore cause I didn't want you to go with me. I mean how stupid am I to not let you go with me?..." Andi hicced slightly as she spoke, the hics sort of rocked her whole body as she tried to not let hurt her abdomen so much but it didn't really work. As Tyler's fingers curled around hers, she felt a small bit of weight drop from her chest. Even if all Tyler was doing was just simply talking to her and holding her hand, it meant the world to Andi at the moment. Anything was better than just the silence that seemed to always creep onto her. With the little quip about the taser, she sort of huffed a slight chuckle before letting out a deep sigh. She could feel herself starting to calm down as the tears stopped and her breathes slowed. At his last few statements, she nodded her head as if taking a mental note of each word. "I'm scared Tyler.... I know what you're saying isn't smoke but what if you hate being human?.. What if once we recover from this we somehow go seperate ways?.. What if we never recover from this?... What if the angels come back again and take more from you?.... There's so many what-ifs and I'm scared of losing you through all of this" Her once half calmed voice slowly started to fill with panic all over again. Andi's eyes scanned over Tyler, her brain just running off of scraps of panic at this point. She definitely wasn't as mentally strong as Tyler was with consoling her own thoughts so anything she could think of just came out her mouth and she trusted that he would always know the right thing to say at times.

Tyler's brow furrowed in an obvious display of concern, lips twitching into a small frown when he had to visibly watch tears leak from her eyes and roll down her cheeks. Each one hurt a little more, knowing he could've prevented all this pain. Each one made him blame himself a little more, for deciding to get close instead of watching from afar. She would've never gotten hurt if he would've stayed away, and he likely would be back up in heaven by now. That was his own lapse in judgement, his own fault. Not the angels. Initially, after all the bad things started happening, he should've stepped back. But no. He got attached too quickly. Cared about her enough as to where his selfishness won and he stayed, for his good and not her own. It would've hurt her to leave, but she would've been fine eventually. She would be safe right now. Petting Jasper on her own couch, watching a comedy/horror parody film, laughing without worrying about angels and him and literal heaven shit.

"It's not your fault at all, those are things none of us were able to control. You needed things from the store, so the only plausible idea is to go to the store and get those things. No one could've possibly foreseen the fact that you would get in a crash." He spoke quietly, comfortingly, but he had to pause after that last sentence to clear the bitter taste in his mouth. If he was a full angel, he could've. He could've saved her. If he wasn't such an idiot, she'd be fine right now. Yet again, things he had done to hurt her. He cleared his mind and looked back at her with a confused look. "You have never gotten me into a situation that is your fault. Either it was completely my decision or the angels were twisting it from above. Stitches and bandages are part of life, and you made the logical decision with the information you had. If I was in your place, I'd have made the same exact decision. No need for me to come along with on a trip to the store. And who knows, maybe the crash would've hurt me worse than everything else did. Maybe it would've changed the trajectory of the car just enough to hit wrong and kill someone. Maybe I would've distracted you more and it could've been worse. There are so many unknowns in this world that all we can do is be thankful to be alive throughout whatever happens." He stated firmly, squeezing her hand slightly. He meant every word. No human could've foreseen what was going to happen.

He was glad that his comment about the taser helped, though he honestly really wasn't speaking the truth there. He had been adamant about not getting tasered, and still was. He focused his dark gaze on her, ready to just observe her emotions and say whatever the truth was. He never told people what they wanted to hear. He told them the truth. And with her? That always helped. Because she was an overthinker, blamed herself for everything. The truth was that none of this was her fault. "There are a gazillion possibilities. Every step you take has a risk of you rolling your ankle. Everything you eat has a risk of food poisoning. Life is risky, and all we can do it live it. However, I can assure you... I will never leave you and if I am with you I will always be happy. There is nothing in this world or any other that I've found that is better than your smile, and it doesn't even matter if I hate being human. I'll be with you, so it'll be worth it. Humans recover from things quite well, actually, and even if we don't fully recover, we'll still be able to go home and throw a stick for our dogs. The angels literally can't take anything else from me- they're not allowed to interfere in lives of humans unless specifically assigned to a a guardian angel, so since I'm a human, I'm safe. Even with all the what ifs and the possibilities, I can tell you this for certain. It's really fricking hard to lose someone like me. I came back from the dead for you. You aren't getting rid of me any time soon." He smiled faintly, not letting go of her hand even through the angle was making his shoulder throb with pain.

Andi stayed very quiet as Tyler seemed to pull his thoughts together and started to speak to her. She could tell by the look on his face that thte tears were paining him to have to watch. She truly wasn't a huge person to cry like this a lot but the more he sat there and comforted her, the more her thoughts formed into silent tears. It was almost like that was the only way they could leave her mind. As Tyler spoke, he was completely truthful about the way the accident could've gone. It truly might've been worse if he had come, she probably would've blamed herself for him coming with her if that's the way things had turned out and with they way he was describing it. At the moment she was grateful he hadn't come along. There would've been no way they would be able to help each other if they both ended up hurt... Well scrath that, TYler would've found a way even if his limbs were about to fall off but that's the way he's always been. Always ready to come and save her even if his life depended on it. Andi sort of wished he was more selfish when it come to that, he could've definintely saved himself a couple of scars if only he had been more focused on himself than on her. Then again, if Tyler were selfish about that, there would be no way in hell she would be alive. From the gun fight, to being jumped in the streets, getting stabbed by a homeless man, having to meet her father again... There was no way she could've survived any of that if Tyler had been thinking about himself for a lot of it. So for that, she was very grateful that he wanted to protect her and keep her safe. Like even right now, even though his wounds hurt more than imaginable, he was still sitting there comforting her as much as he could. That was the moment it finally hit Andi.. Tyler would always be there to protect her, he didn't even have to be an Angel anymore to do it but he would always be there right beside her, guiding her, supporting her, and comforting her even if she didn't think she needed it. She always knew that subconciously about him but it didn't fully hit her till this moment, causing a faint smile to find it's way onto her lips.

As Andi pulled out of her thoughts more and continued to listen to him speak. His words starting to form a blanket of security around her, as the tears started to slow and her breath evened right back out..Tyler once again was just truthful as he spoke so his words were 10x more meaning full than anything else. Every sentence just proved her more comfort, making her feel more secure with everything that was going on at the moment. With the comment about her smile, her dimmly lit eyes sort of sparked right up. The already faint smile grew into a gentle one. That small comment made her want to never stop smiling for him, so that's sort of what she wanted to do. She didn't want to hurt him anymore with her tears or her blackhole thoughts, so instead she was going to stay as positive as can be for him. Which was quite easy at the moment as he was filling her with nothing but positive. At his last small comment, she crackked a small chuckle, taking a deep breath before speaking. "I'm glad that I can't get rid of you easily... You've always stuck to me like glue, even if you were a bit of a thorn in my side at times" Her voice was nice and soft, the hurt from earleir was nowhere to be found in her tone. "You're right.. things will be better eventually and I really wish we could skip to a better part cause I'd rather be throwing sticks for Raven and Jasper than being basically tied down here" She kept her same tone, glancign at Jasper as she spoke before moving her gaze back to Tyler then looked down at their hands. She slowly dipped her head down, placing a light kiss on his hand before settling her cheek on the same spot. Even if it did hurt to be hunched over like this, she really didn't care. She just wanted to show Tyler her appreciation even if it was a small gesture.
