Millie didn't know what to do. Dave had left home after getting the news about Kurt and she was left alone. She was wrapped up in his sweater, hugging her knees as she cried.

Kurt had also been her best friend. They had some good times together, and she loved all the boys in Nirvana. Just the thought of not seeing Kurt again made her cry more.

The door went carefully up and Dave came in. Millie held her breath, looking at her miserable boyfriend. "Hi." She whispered. Then he burst out crying again. "Oh Dave."

He walked over to her and fell into her arms. She wrapped her arms around him, letting them lay down on the couch. She kissed his head and started to hum a melody.

"I hate him."

Dave talked in a low tone. Millie didn't know what to say. She just hugged him closer and started to stroke his hair.

"I hate him for leaving Nirvana. I hate him for leaving me. I hate him for leaving Krist. I hate him for leaving Pat. I hate him for leaving you. And I absolutely hate him for leaving his little bean."

Millie felt tears rolling down her cheeks. Still she didn't respond. Dave buried his face in her neck, sobbing loudly.

"Kurt needed help Dave. And sadly he didn't ask. Sadly we didn't see it in time." She paused for a second. "We'll have to be there for each other now, and we have to help raise Bean." Millie laced his hair round her finger.

Her heart was breaking listening to his cries. Then she started singing to Good Night by the Beatles, slowly feeling Dave's breathing calm down.

"This is the reason I love you." He mumbled into her neck, slowly drifting into sleep.

Millie laid awake for another three hours. They didn't move from the couch, just enjoying the feeling of each other. But those three hours were killing her. She wanted to sleep, yet her body didn't want to.

"Baby? Are you still awake?" Dave's raspy voice made her smile. "I can't sleep." She answered. He changed their position, so he was under and she laid on top of him. "Try to sleep now." He kissed her forehead, holding her close. His hand on her head while another one was wrapped around her.

"I love you too Dave."
