Shit, Hayden, what the hell are you doing here?
TigerCascade
I’m bored dude
Bored? Can't you think of something better to do than show up here in the middle of the damn night? You know damn well I get pissed when you pull stunts like this, Hayden. What do you want? Hayden: smirking Oh, just thought I'd come and see how my favorite little brother is doing. Plus, I knew you wouldn't be able to resist my charm.
TigerCascade
Broo
narrows his eyes, crossing his arms Look, Hayden, I'm in no mood for your bullshit tonight.
TigerCascade
He wants money I swear
grabs Hayden by the collar, pulling him closer You think I'm made of money, huh? Well, let me tell you something, you little shit. I work my ass off to provide for my family, and I won't just hand over my hard-earned cash to support your sorry ass. You want help? Get your shit together and prove that you're worth a damn. Otherwise, get the fuck out of my sight.
TigerCascade
Y’all, stop fighting!
releases his grip on Hayden, taking a step back Fine, have it your way. But don't come crying to me when you end up in even more trouble. You've always been a pain in the ass, Hayden, and I'm not about to change that. Just stay out of my way and let me take care of my family. Hayden: rolls his eyes, scoffing Yeah, yeah, whatever. I'll leave you to your perfect little life, Mr. "I-work-hard-and-have-a-family." Bet you wouldn't last a day in my shoes.
TigerCascade
Brother ends up leaving
leans against the porch railing, exhaling a cloud of smoke Fucking idiot. Always had to make things difficult. But you know what?
TigerCascade
Damn Tiger’s starts walking to room
turns to Tiger, a softened expression on his face Hey, you alright there, kiddo? You saw the whole thing? Tiger: nods, looking up at Jared with wide eyes Yeah, I did. That guy is always causing trouble. Why does he even come around here?
TigerCascade
She puts her hand on his shoulder well… cause mom and dad aren’t doing too good..
pauses, taking a deep breath Yeah, he's always been a screw-up, but he's family. We gotta deal with him sometimes, whether we like it or not.
TigerCascade
But babe…
puts an arm around Tiger, pulling them closer I know it sucks, sweetheart. But we can't let his stupid decisions ruin our lives.
TigerCascade
Mhm.. she then walks to room and lays down in bed
puts out his cigarette and follows Tiger to their room, sitting down next to them on the bed
TigerCascade
Cuddling while listening to rain
wraps his arms around Tiger, nuzzling their head gently I'm sorry you had to see all that, kiddo. I wish things could be different, but they aren't.
TigerCascade
Yw.. it’s ok
kisses Tiger's forehead I love you, no matter what. And I promise you, I'll always protect you and keep you safe. That's a promise, kiddo.
