Tyler raised his head after about an hour of sitting on the couch. He stood and made sure Raven and Jasper were okay before he went over to the bed and got a new shirt on. Tyler then washed his old shirt and hung It out to dry. He limped back into the living room and sat down heavily on the couch, a sigh escaping his pained lungs.

Andi looked at the clock it was 8am and right on time her first client walked in. She put a smile on her face greeting her client before seating them, her work day had begun. She periodically checked the clock as it ticked down 10am, 12pm, 3pm, 7pm, finally it hit 9pm. Only one more hour and it was her last client who was bleaching her whole head, it was a long process but Andi timed it perfectly so that the girl would be out the door by 10pm so Andi could finish cleaning up. She sighed trying to keep a slight smile and a cheerful attitude going but it was hard. She had a day filled with bad tips and snarky clients that hated the fact they didn't get in yesterday but again she had to keep up that smile on her face so she wouldn't lose them. Somedays she wished that she could blow up and put them in her place, she shook her head erasing the thought from her mind as she cleaned up what she could. It reached 9:30pm so she took the foil out of the girls hair throwing it away. Then she rinsed all the bleach out then gave it a good wash with shampoo and conditioner. Then finally dried and flat ironed it, the lady gave her a 20 dollar tip and was the actual first nice client Andi had all day. She finished cleaning up and then headed out to her car driving to Tyler's cabin.

Andi pulled up to the cabin she got out quietly closing her car door, she walked up to the cabin openign the door and closing it quietly in case Tyler was sleeping but she had no clue since it was hard to see him on the couch. She set her bag down then sat where she had been last night, she sat there quietly for a second before laying down on the cold floor. It was actually quite comfortable laying on the floor and it felt nice to have the coolness on her back

(How many words was THAT, XD. I'm guessing... around 300? Haha)

Tyler opened his eyes as he heard a car pull in. He assumed it was Andi, so he closed his eyes again and tried to look normal... even though he was in more pain than before. When Andi came in and sat down he glanced over at her. "...that bad, huh?" Tyler asked quietly, seeing from her expression it had been a terrible day.

(close! it was 350 exactly lol)

~

Andi heard Tyler speak she let out a long sigh "Yep..." she stretched as she rolled over onto her stomach. She didn't want to go anywhere or do anything tommorrow but that was unrealistic. She closed her eyes just trying to relax trying to forget all the agitation of the day

Tyler let his head flop back on the couch. He hadn't done almost anything that day... but he was still exhausted. "I hope you sleep well." He said quietly, gently turning himself on the couch so his head rested on the arm rest nearest to Andi, and his feet went up and over the furthest armrest. Tyler closed his eyes like that, his good arm behind his head. He slowly fell asleep, the pain and stress fading away into blackness.

Andi looked over at Jasper to make sure he was okay "Thanks I hope you sleep well too." She sighed one last time before driting off to sleep but not for long. Maybe after only an hour of sleeping she woke up. She sat up leaning against the couch and looked at Tyler who she assumed was still sleeping. She stretched before getting up, she walked out the cabin door quietly opening and closing. She sat down on the tiny deck that the front of the cabin had just wanting to get some fresh air

Tyler woke to the sound of soft footsteps padding across the floor. He raised his head slightly, dropping it back down when he had made sure it was Andi. Tyler closed his eyes for a moment, trying to decide whether to go out there and sit with her or to fall back asleep. One of those heart head conversations... and it took a long time for one to win. Tyler took in a shallow breath and swung his legs off the couch and onto the floor. From there he braced his good arm on the couch and stood up slowly. Tyler almost felt like he was one Wiley Coyote... ya got three holes in ya then you break into three pieces. He felt like that. Tyler steadied himself before striding slowly over to the small porch, leaning against the doorway and looking out over the plains. It really was beautiful... the fields and forest bathed in moonlight, the grass slowly waving back and forth in the gentle breeze.

Andi looked over to the sound of the door opening, she was relieved it was just Tyler. She softly asked "Sorry did I wake you?" She was sitting criss cross at the very edge of the porch, she turned her head back out towards the plains. It was beautiful out here, so much better than living in her noisy apartment where everything was lite up with street litghts. She sighed pushing her legs out striaght onto the grass, she put her hands behind her leaning on them

Tyler smiled. "Yes, but don't be sorry. Everything wakes me." He said quietly. It was true.... Tyler never seemed to be able to fall into a deep enough sleep that nothing could wake him. He would sit down.... but he doesn't want to stay out on the porch all night, so Tyler stayed standing. He felt like one of those cowboys in the frame of the doorway, leaning up against it while watching the sunrise. Except.... there was no sunrise, he wasn't a cowboy... just scarier than one, and he had three holes in him so he wasn't leaning against the frame to look cool, he was leaning against it because if he didn't he would fall apart. Tyler smiled at that amusing thought, glancing down at Andi before looking back up at the moon.

Andi smiled softly back "Okay... I just couldn't sleep so I just wanted some fresh air." She finally just fully laid back on the porch putting her arms behind her head as a cushion "I don't plan on being out here long so you can go back in and lay down. Like your supposed to be doing" She shot him a serious but playful glance while she smiled. She took a deep breathe looking up and closing her eyes, it felt super nice out with a slight breeze. She felt her agitation from the day slowly go away
