Surly curled up around Buddy. it was time for them to get some sleep and the feeling of being terrified returned. Surly could feel it the moment Buddy started getting tired.
"it's ok Buddy. i'm right here. go to sleep." Surly said. Buddy did nothing untill Surly curled up around him tighter. "its ok." Surly repeated softly. he straightened when Buddy rolled over and dug his face into Surlys midsection. Buddy's ears were flattened against his skull. Surly ran his paw up and down Buddy's back comfortingly, whispering words of comfort. he continued for a while untill he was sure Buddy was asleep. he made a quick look around before closing his eyes.
*later*
Surly wasn't sure how long he had been sleeping, but he woke up when he heard screaming. he instantly sat up and tried to comfort Buddy. he noticed Andie standing not to far away looking concerned. Surly finally got Buddy awake, but he was shocked when Buddy shoved him away and jerked backwards. Buddy had also seemed to notice Andie in the room and clung to her. Surly could see the surprize on Andies face, but all he felt was hurt. he stood up off the ground from where he'd landed when Buddy shoved him and ,without a word, he turned and left as queitly as he could. when Andie looked up he was gone. she'd never even heard him leave. Precious had come and got her when she heard the screaming. she watched the hurt flash in Surlys eyes and looked down to try and calm Buddy down, and when she looked up, Surly was gone. Surly sat on the edge of the roof ,where he and Buddy had sat earlier, and stared at the world like it had betrayed him. he heard someone standing beside him but he didn't look up. neither said anything for what seemed like years to Surly, but was really only about fifteen minutes.
"what?" Surly growled dangerously. the person beside him was silent and he huffed. "what do you want Grayson?" Surly muttered.
"I watched you leave. what happened? where's Buddy?" Grayson ask. Surly didn't reply, he didn't even look up.
"go away." Surly grawled. Grayson stood there for a moment before he left leaving Surly sitting by himself on the roof. the anger was rolling off of him in waves. a bark caught his attention and he sighed and looked down at Precious. he climbed down and stood infront of her.
"Andie's going to stay with him tonight. she doesn't know what it is but, he won't let her go." Precious said. Surly just blinked at her before turning and sitting down infront of the coal shoot door.
"go back inside Precious." Surly said. she watched him get comfortable infront of the door, but he didn't sleep.
*next morning*
Surly didn't sleep at all his mind to full to allow it. he heard Lana enter the store, but he made no move to follow her. he didn't hear signs of life in the basement so he assumed Buddy and Andie were still asleep. that was untill Andie tapped him on the shoulder. Surly nearly jumped out of his skin and ,normally, Andie would have laughed at him for that, but she'd seen the hurt in his eyes last night and it just wouldn't feel right. he looked over at her his eyes, for the first time since she'd known him, were void of any emotion and she almost sighed. instead she shook her head.
"sorry." Andie said. Surly nodded at her and looked away. "Buddy is looking for you." Andie tried hoping to get a smile out of him, but he didn't smile. he tensed up slightly and for a moment Andie thought he was actually just going to up and leave Buddy. when he looked up though, his eyes looked slightly distant. he jumped at Andie.
"move!" Surly shouted tackling her. a loud smash and a small yelp caught her attention. she looked to where she'd been standiong a moment ago and was shocked. a brick had fallen off the building and was now laying where she'd once been.
"Surly!" Andie exclaimed running over to him. he didn't answer and she thought that maybe the brick had hit him in the head.
"Andie, are you ok?" Grayson ask.
"yes. help me get this off of him." Andie replied and together they got the brick off of Surly. it hadn't landed high enough to hit his head, but it had landed on his back.
"what happened?" Grayson ask.
"I was talking to him and he just suddenly tensed up. he jumped at me and shouted at me to move, then shoved me out of the way." Andie replied. a grunt caught their attention. "Surly?" Andie ask.
"Andie are you ok?" Surly ask sitting up and rubbing his back and head.
"I should be asking you the same. I'm not the one who was crushed by a brick." Andie replied helpping him stand. he hissed and wabbled. after a moment he opened his eyes, he jumped ,this action caused him to fall over, and closed them again. this action surprized Grayson and Andie. "Surly?" Andie ask. he opened his eyes and stared blankly ahead.
"I can't see anything." Surly replied. Andie was instantly worried.
*later*
Andie had been extremely worried and had ,some how, convinced Surly to let them help him get inside. once again, Surly was unsure how they'd managed to explain to Lana, but he was sure that was because he couldn't see this time. Now he was sitting some where and he wasn't sure where. he could remember Lana taking him to some sort of doctor but he didn't know where she'd taken him after that. he tried sniffing but all he could smell was Lana. he stood and went to take a step but was stopped.
