1 x 1 with Taxi

[ShadowHunteress]

"Hey, hey, Alessa, it's okay." he said softly, he moved to her and gently gave her a gentle hug, "We don't need to talk about that right now." he soothed, trying to calm her and make her hurt less.

[Boomer]

Alessa lightly dug into Max's forearm with her overgrown claws. She wasn't pressing hard enough to make him bleed or cause pain. She slowly lowered herself onto the floor and sobbed, letting out years of pent up anger and pain.

[ShadowHunteress]

Max didn't mind at all, he held her pup close and let her just cry, knowing it was long overdue as he sat on the floor with her and just held her.

[Boomer]

After what felt like an hour or so, Alessa finally quieted down. Her eyes were puffy and a little red as she rested her head against Max's chest. She stared off into the distance as her breathing returned to normal.

[ShadowHunteress]

Max just held her and rubbed her back lightly, he looked down at her when her breathing returned to normal, he kissed her forehead softly, knowing this had been hard on her.

[Boomer]

Alessa sat there, unwilling to move. Oddly enough, she felt comfortable sitting on the floor. She shut her eyes and after ten or so minutes passed, she drifted to sleep. She didn't stir even as Max's phone went off; it was a message from Maria, letting him know that Eileen's temperature had spiked. She also asked how Matt was doing, as Mary told her sister that he was ill and that Max most likely wouldn't be able to visit until Matt's fever broke; it would be too dangerous to visit with Max and Alessa possibly carrying the illness.

[ShadowHunteress]

Matt picked her up and carried her to the couch, he laid her on it and tucked her in, he looked at his phone and texted her back that he hoped she got better soon. He went and checked on Matt, who was asleep, but mainting a high ish temperature, which really worried him. He texted Maria back that there wasn't a change in his temperature, so he was worried.

[Boomer]

Alessa stirred a little as she was moved, but stayed asleep as she was put on the couch. She was clinging onto Scarlett. As Maria received the messages, she had thanked him and said she hoped the fever would break. She too was worried about Matt not getting better.

[ShadowHunteress]

Max checked the time, he roused Matt gently, the pup whimpering softly and nestling close to his dad, it was clear he wasn't feeling well. Matt gave him some water and had him eat some crackers, even if he didn't really want to, he gently rubbed Matt's ears and the pup fell back asleep once more.

[Boomer]

Alessa woke up and looked around, a bit confused. "Max?" she mumbled, slowly sitting up. She turned to Scarlett before getting off of the couch. Thinking that perhaps Max went outside, she slipped out of the house and looked around the front yard.
