"Damn this place to hell," Matt growled out pacing back and forth in his living room, Sherman lightly sipping his tea as he watched Matt, "I should have left when Marie wanted us to maybe Marie would still be alive and this wouldn't be happening."
"Matt you can't change what has already happened, things have happened for a reason." Sherman stated as he motioned for Matt to sit. Sighing Matt plopped down onto his lazy boy chair and stared up at the ceiling praying that Tyler had gotten his baby girl out of Wolf Lake.
"I know that Sherman, I know that, but I still can't help but think 'what if'." Nodding his head Sherman sipped his tea and handed a cup to Matt, taking it Matt looked out the window as the stormed continued to rage on outside.
"Thing's will work out in the end Matt, they always do, you just need to be patient and let things roll."
"I hope you're right about that Sherman, for all of our sakes."
-Somewhere far from Wolf Lake-
"Sophia wake up," groaning Sophia curled into her self only to smack into the window and hiss, rubbing her head Sophia sat up in the truck and hesitantly opened her eyes, blinking them as her eyes adjusted to the sun.
"Where are we?" Sophia murmured rubbing the sleep out of her eyes and yawning earning a chuckle from Tyler who handed her a Dunkin Donuts cup and a brown bag, peering into the bag Sophia grinned at seeing the sprinkled covered donut, taking a sip of the drink Sophia smiled and thanked Tyler.
"Not a problem Soph," Tyler replied as he finished his coffee, hearing the old nickname Sophia smiled.
"You remembered," Sophia stated as she watched Tyler, glancing at her Tyler nodded his head.
"I always remembered Soph, but being with how things were I thought it would be best if I just acted like I didn't remember the time we spent together, it killed me to do it but it was for the best." Smiling sadly Sophia took a sip of her hot chocolate and stared out the window.
"Everything was always for the best, even when I was but a mere child." Looking at her pain filled face Tyler reached over and stroked her hair, leaning into the touch Sophia let a soft sob escape as a lone tear slid down her face, "I never wanted any of this Tyler, all I ever wanted was my mother to have never been killed, for my childhood friend to come back and my big brother to have come back, now I got what I want but not in the way I hoped. My mother is still gone, my childhood friend is now all possessive and you are back but only because you were asked." Unbuckling Sophia's seatbelt Tyler slid her over to him and hugged her small petit body to his as he continued to stroke her hair and whisper soft nothings into her ear as he continued to drive.
"Shh Soph shh, I promise things will turn out for the better, it may not be now, it may not be for another couple of years but things will get better. I may have been asked to help Soph, but I decided to help because of the bond we once and still have, I didn't come back because I was asked too, I came because I wanted too." Clutching her to him Tyler held her as she continued to cry into his shoulder, he continued to hold her even when her cries finally stopped and her body stopped shaking, "I won't ever leave you again Soph, never again."
