Caden sighed as he held Murhpy close and silently cried,tears running down his face.Eventually,they turned into non-silent yet still quiet sobs.

Rose heard Caden come inside and went downstairs. She saw him crying and quickly went over to him. "What is it, love?" She asked, holding his face in her hands. "Are you alright?"

"Im fine.No need to worry.Just......stress,anger,anxiety,fear." He sniffled

(On/off btw)

"That's fine. I'm here if you want me." She said, avoiding need because he didn't need her, he wanted her. She wrapped her arms around him and stood there with him

Caden clutched her arms with his hands and rest his head on them.He sighed and turned his head down,still lightly sobbing. "Thank you,for everything." He whispered softly

"Of course." She said, holding him

Caden stayed quiet and still cried,overwhlemed by a mix of emotions.He looked up and saw Murphy staring at the fence,barking.He darted up from the chair. "Rose get inside." He snapped,pulling a pistol from his pocket,charging over there.

(Okay! I'm at FFA practice rn, so hush you)

Rose quickly jumped up and walked upstairs, grabbing her own pistol and hiding behind the corner. "Please not again." She begged aloud

Caden snuck around and pointed his pistol at the fence,only for nothis except a squirrel to be perched utop it.He sighed as he brought the pistol down. "Murphy shut up!" He yelled,the dog sidestepping away. "Stupid dog.." He muttered,walking inside. "Rose,coast is clear,he was barking at a stupid squirrel because he is a idiot." Caden walked back outside
