The Bodyguard: Eras Of Love

Aftermaths of Fear

It's been three days since the incident and Griffin was really worried about Sydney, she hadn't come out of her room since that night and he didn't know what to do. While trying to figure that out he got a call, is was Wyatt

Over Phone

Wyatt & Griffin

Wyatt: So you're sure she is safe?

Griffin: I'm positive..

Wyatt: That girl is gonna get herself killed 

Griffin: Like I have said, it wasn't her fault. I pushed her and she left, that's on me

Wyatt: I don't mean that, I mean she should've been smarter 

Griffin: I understand sir

Wyatt: Good, well I have a meeting so I will talk to you in a couple of days

Griffin: Okay, have a good trip sir

Griffin: *hangs up*

"She has been in that god damn room for three days, she won't answer that door, she won't eat. What is she doing, isolating herself?"  Griffin thought. At this point he was getting insanely worried about Sydney, he wanted to talk to her, he needed to talk to her. He set his phone down and walked upstairs and stopped just outside her door. *exhale* "Okay" He whispered to himself. He hesitated before knocking on the door, "Sydney? Sydney, I know you're in there. You're worrying me" He said "Can you please open up, I wanna make sure you're okay" Griffin begged. He paused before he said something else because he thought she was saying something but he could hear something, she was crying. Griffin put his hand on the doorknob before he slowly opened the door, when he opened it he saw Sydney sitting at her desk with her face in her knees. He stopped before he stepped inside, "Hey, hey" He said walking over and crouching beside her "Sydney, hey. Look at me" He said softly. Sydney looked down at him and her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were red. "Hey, no, no" He said standing up and hugging her. As he hugged her she broke again and he held her trying to calm her down. "Shh, shh, it's okay, you're okay" He comforted "I'm such an idiot" Sydney said still crying "Hey, no, no, you're not. Don't say that" He said softly "Here, some here" He said taking her hand and walking her to the bed so they could talk. "What happened?" He asked "I'm just-I just-" She couldn't finish her sentence because she was still really upset "Shh, Sydney hey. Breath, in and out" Griffin instructed. Griffin helped Sydney slow her breathing because her heart was racing, "Shh, calm down, you're okay" Griffin comforted 

After about five minutes Sydney finally started to calm down, she was nearly there and she was slowing her breathing down, "That's good. Do you feel okay now?" Griffin asked. Sydney nodded slightly and she was out of it, "Hey" He said softly placing his hand on her shoulder "You're okay" He finished "Now, what happened" He asked again "I was just up here and I felt so overwhelmed, I tried to calm myself down but I couldn't and I snapped" Sydney explained "Was it because of what happened?" Griffin asked "I-I think so, I don't really know" Sydney said shakily "Okay, that's okay" Griffin replied, he looked over at Sydney and she looked exhausted "You look tired, you should get some rest" Griffin advised "Yeah" She said softly. Griffin got up and Sydney got into bed, Griffin covered her up and shut her light off "I'll be across that hall if you need anything" Griffin said "Griffin!" Sydney perked up "Yeah" He replied "Can you stay with me, until I fall asleep?" She asked "Yeah, sure" He said softly. Griffin stepped back inside and lied down next to Sydney on top of the covers and Sydney put her head on his chest, "Thank you" Sydney said falling asleep "For what?" Griffin asked "Being here with me" She finished "Anytime"
