#26: He's Crying

Sal: You walk into your bedroom to find Sal hunched over his side of the bed. You're unsure as to what he's doing so you let him be, making your way to the bathroom instead to wash away the sweat of the day. When you come back out several minutes later, Sal's in the same position. "Are you alright?" you ask him, sliding over the comforter to press against his back. You're still wet from your shower, dressed in only a towel but Sal doesn't seem to care as he shows you the sonogram in his hands. "I know, I know he wasn't mine but sometimes I wonder about him. I wonder what he would have been like. I wonder, how can a man make you terminate a pregnancy" Sal cries softly, tracing the features of the child you would never meet. "I just wish, I would have known you then. I wish I could've told you that one day I would be the one loving you and I would've loved any child you had" he chokes, leaning back into your embrace as he clutches the sonogram picture that never fails to make him emotional whenever he comes across it.

Brian (Q): "Are... are you crying?" you question, staring at him from your spot in the doorway of his kitchen. He buries his face in his hands and your eyes widen before you're rushing towards him. His cheeks are blushed from his tears as you slide onto his lap to hold him in your arms. You run your fingers through his hair, hoping the movement is comforting. His tears subside as he leans against your shoulder, catching his breath, as you stay silent.

James (Murr): You had been on tour with him for the past month, yet he had been on tour for the last four. You had stepped out of the room to go down to the bar to find something to eat since ordering room service was getting old. You ran into Brian and the two of you stayed down at the bar to talk and eat for a little longer than you had expected. You get back up to the room and notice he is inside talking to someone. You walk through the door to see James hunched over the side of the bed on the phone with his hand covering his face. He ends the conversation with his family once he notices your presence. But when he looks up at you, you notice his eyes are swollen and his shirt is stained with tears. You immediately walk over to him and hold him and he begins to cry in your arms. "I just miss her so much." He says choking on his emotions.

Joe: Joe is silent beside you on your bed in the tiny dorm room, eyes trained on the TV to distract him from whatever's going on in his mind. You hear him sigh and when you roll over, you see tears streaming down his cheeks. He rolls onto his side to face away from you, not wanting you to see him in a weak moment. You press against his back, arms wrapping around him as you press a soft kiss to the back of his neck. His tears subside after several moments but he doesn't turn around to face you; he's fallen asleep.
