Reuniting Tornedalians

Geo moved to wrap his arms around Andre's torso, helping him up onto his feet and whispering, "Lean in to me." Still trying to save face in front of everyone, though it probably would of been obvious to Andre that he was heartbroken as well as shaken by the whole experience.

"Lets just get you home," He answered, voice shaking slightly as they walked. Using his foot to push the front door open when they finally got there and calling for his mother.

Peyton wandered into the entry way, looking them both over with a confused expression. Opening her mouth to ask what had happened, but not managing to even get the sound out before Geo gently pushed Andre towards her and within the blink of an eye was upstairs in his room. "Your not looking too good, Dre." Peyton finally whispered, slipping her arms around him to hold him up.

Peyton just frowned, helping him to their bedroom and onto the bed. Sitting herself down at the top of it so that his head was resting on a pillow on her lap, brushing her fingers through his hair affectionately. "Your lucky to of walked out of there,"

----
"Come in," Geo mumbled hoarsely, in the middle of tidying his room after having spent the last few hours trashing it to release anger. Though, the hoarseness of his voice made it obvious he had been crying too.

"I don't feel like going for a walk anywhere Belle, I'm tired. I'm just going to get some sleep."

---
Peyton nodded in understanding, leaning forward to pull the covers up over him. "Your a good father, my love."

Geo just nodded subtly, getting to his feet and heading out of his room, toward his sisters.

----
"Mm, you are. You couple how brave you are with that protective instinct and your a force to be reckoned with. Though, for now, close your eyes - rest. Even super dad's need their sleep."

"Get out." Geo mumbled, tensing when he saw her, backing up to the doorway. "Your dad nearly killed mine today, he said he'd kill me, and mum and Belle to if I saw you. I- I can't - I tried to fight for you, I tried to be brave. I'm terrified, and tired and now my whole family are in danger. I'm no hero from a book." he ranted, terrified.

---
Peyton played with his hair in silence then, determined to not leave his side until he had fallen asleep.

"Thanks for the damn sympathy! We don't need your help, and I am not doing some stupid goodbye session with you. All you left me was a note - that was your goodbye. Leave. Get out!"

----
Peyton frowned when she heard the yelling, silently slipping away from Andre and heading up the stairs to see what was going on.

"You don't have to interact with her if you don't want to, Geo," Peyton interuppted them, "It's okay, go back to your room."

Geo nodded subtly and left the room, heading back to his own and closing the door - locking it behind him.

"I don't know what has happened exactly yet, I've not had a chance to ask." Peyton hummed, looking back at Isadora. "If you are here to help Andre, then come with me. I don't think Geo is ready to have an adult conversation with you yet though, give him time."

"He tried to take your father on, so your correct, he has made his feelings clear. That is a big deal for him, remember your version of courage and his are different." Peyton whispered, taking the vial from her with a thank you and heading to her and Andre's room.

Peyton sat herself down on the edge of the bed beside Andre, resting her hand on his shoulder and squeezing it to try and wake him gently. "Dre, Isadora brought you something to help."

"Dre," She frowned, moving him gently to sit just behind him - letting him to lean against her so she could open the vial and pour it down his throat. "This should help."

She exhaled slowly, resting her head on top of his. Just holding him in silence then.
