Cole huffed, finally looking up to smile half heartedly at the vet before reluctantly standing up to grab Holly - who still seemed like she was going to die - and returning to Lili's side.

Lili looked up and watched Cole pick Holly up, when he came back over she gently, and slowly, held her hand toward her, so she could sniff her hand and possibly let her pet her.

His smile returned - this time being genuine - holding the puppy out to her.

"I sort of just noticed this, but she's kind of small for a german shepard. I know she's just a puppy but I feel like they're a lot bigger by now. Maybe she's the runt? Or maybe I should just shut up."

Lili looked at Holly, a soft look on her face as she wiped away the tears, a soft smile appearing on her lips. She sighs softly then looks up at Cole with a soft chuckle, "No no you don't need to shut up" She chuckles, "And I've noticed that aswell, she is quite small" She says picking her up and admiring her with a soft grin,

Cole sighed, leaning on Lili's shoulder and staring at Holly.

"...You want her?"

Lili looks over at him slowly. "Cole... she's yours.. I can't take her..." She says softly to him.

"But she won't be safe," Cole murmured, stroking the puppy gently, "I'm giving up on myself but I don't want to give up on her. And I've made a plan to move back to my own house, whether my dad is there or not. But if I go back he'd hurt her. And I know she loves you."

Lili looks down and sighs softly then looks toward the pup who gently nudged her head against Lili's hand. "But... she loves you too Cole... And he tried to hurt you too.. he tried to hurt me.. Cole you shouldn't go back there. I'll... I'll help you find somewhere for just you" She says softly, placing one of her hands gently on top of his.

"Youre too damn amazing. You can't do that, I won't let you because I'm not worth it." He argued, squeezing her hand tightly.

Lili looks at him, her eyes soft. "No, I'm not letting you weasle your way out of this. Cole you don't fucking deserve what he does to you. I will and am going to find you a place away from there. No arguements, end of descussion." She says, rubbing her thumb over the top of his hand.
