This Woman's Work

Title: This Woman's Work by Kate Bush

(Crowley's Pov)

Crowley had cried the whole way home while he listened to sad music, which only made it worse. 

His mom wasn't home yet when he got home, which was probably for the best. He needed to calm down first before he saw anyone. 

Honestly he isn't quite sure why he is so upset, I mean obviously Azi's boyfriend is going to ask him to prom I mean why wouldn't he. Crowley just had silently hoped Azi would come his senses and realize he loved Crowley as much as Crowley loved him. However he knew he was just being too delusional.

That's when he heard a knock on the door. 

He ignored it.

Then he heard what sounded like many different people pounding on his door so before they could break it, he decided to open it. 

"Are you ok?" 

"I saw what happened"

"Are you crying"

And a bunch of other random questions filled his ears as he was confronted with his ragtag little group. Of course they came to check on him, why wouldn't they. Honestly, he appreciated the gesture but he really just wanted to be only just then. 

Nevertheless he let them in and they all pooled in his room, taken up a seat where ever they could. 

"Seriously Crowley are you ok?" Bee asked, surprisingly sincere.

"Yea" Crowley lied however no one believed him, not even himself. 

"Crowley, we literally saw the man you love get asked to prom in front of the entire school, and he said yes, so obviously you are allowed to not be ok" Muriel tried to reason with him.

And in a sense Crowley understood that but he couldn't shake the feeling that he was overreacting.

Crowley decided to stay silent but the group didn't like this and insisted on intently staring at him until he broke. 

"Fine I'm not ok" Crowley exclaimed finally breaking the wall he had put for himself. The emotions came flooding in and the tears starting falling again. 

Suddenly everyone in the room was up and on there feet, strutting across the room to engulf him in a giant bear hug.

Crowley had to admit this felt nice. He felt good knowing he had friends who cared about him this much.

They stayed in the embrace for quite a bit and only broke apart when they heard another knock at the door. 

"Who's that?" Newt said staring wearily out the door. 

"I dunno" Crowley confessed.

"Maybe Azi?" Muriel added hopefully.

The group all nodded in agreement however there was also a silent agreement that it most definitely not Azi.

Crowley got up and jumped down the steps, the gang following behind.

He opened the door.

It was John.

"Hey Crowley I heard about what happened, you ok?" John said walking in and hugging Crowley.

"Oh John Hi, urm not really"

"Crowley's who's this?" Gabe asked from somewhere behind Crowley. 

"Oh uh right sorry guys this is John Smith, he's a friend of mine," Crowley said pointing at John then turned to the group and started introducing them, "and this is Bee, Gabe, Muriel, Anathema, Nina, Maggie, and Newt" to which they all smiled and waved at John.
