If You Love Her, Let Her Go.

..............................

I rushed down the hallway, I knew my hair and eyes were crazy, but I didn't care. I ran through the halls of the human school, but skidded to a stop as the three human pets blocked my route. "What are you doing here?! Raf, call Optimus." Arcee's pet yelled at they all stood in my way, blocking me from reaching the hallway. "Get out of my way!" I yelled before practically shoving them aside to running farther into the school.

I reached the cafeteria and reeled at what I saw, Jackson was clinging to a body as paramedics tried to drag her away. Jack had called me telling me about the gunman and I rushed here as quick as possible...but I was to slow. I knew the body was her friend Britany, that's the only other person in the world she would cry over. Primus I know the feeling of losing your best friend. I tried to run to her but two police officers barred my way, "Who are you? The building is locked down, how did you get in?" One of them asked. "My girlfriend called me, panicked, and told me someone was in the building. I got here and went in but then I heard the gun shots and I heard Jackie scream so I ran here... t- that's her, Jackson Perry, the one holding onto....the body. I'm positive it's her best friend and roommate Britany Hiro, she attended here as the school nurse... can I go get her? I don't think anyone else can convince her to let go." I said softly as I looked past them at my sobbing Jackson, I hope I'm some sort of reassurance to her.

They permitted me past and I crouched next to Jackson on the floor and put my hand on her shoulder, but she shrugged me off. She probably assumed I was one of the paramedics trying to pry her from her friend so I gently whispered in her ear "Hey Jack, it's me." In a nanoclick she whirled around and clung to me as she sobbed into my holoforms shirt, why did this have to happen to her? "The paramedics need to check you over." I said gently, "No! They need to help Britany!" She yelled as she grabbed her friends cold hand. My spark shattered at how she refused to except her friends death... Just like me... "T-They need to check you over, she's gone Jackie." I said as I held onto my broken girlfriend. She let out another agonizing wail and collapsed into my arms. I brought her over to the paramedics who soon gave her a green light, but warned me to not leave her alone. The police tried to question Jack, but she was just staring off into space. When it was all said and done I picked her up bridle style and carried her from the school. I recognized all of the autobot vehicles outside, but paid them no mind as I put Jip in my alt mode.

"Why are you here? And why did you take that Jack girl?" The annoying female human asked, well demanded. I ignored her and turned to get in my alt mode, but the human wouldn't shut up. I watched as Jackson got out on shaking and unsteady legs, "Can we please go knockout? I- I can't stay this close...to her..." she asked brokenly. I walked over to her in quick strides before wrapping her in a tight hug, partially to comfort her, and partially to keep her from collapsing. I knew her pain and I don't care what it takes, but I will help her through this. I carefully helped her back in the car before turning to the humans and autobot holoforms, "You protect who you care about, I'm just doing the same, I don't want trouble." I said before getting in and disengaging my holoform. I immediately drove off and hoped the autobots had the processor to not follow me. "Remember when I found out what you were?" Jackson asked softly as she averted her gaze from the road to look at my radio where I normally spoke from. "Yes, I thought you were going to kill me!" I mused, remembering her surprise... then her murderous anger at me for not telling her sooner that she was sitting inside of someone every time we drove somewhere. She just shrugged and turned back to the road, empty eyes mirroring an empty mind. The rest of the ride was painfully silent. I kept thinking of how there was the chance Jackson could have been late to pick Britany up and didn't have to see her friend die in front of her, or if she was early and got hurt instead. I wasn't sure weather to be releaved it wasn't her or horrified for thinking that way, I don't know what I would do without Jackson. I focused on the road and silently continued on, praying that Jackson will be stronger than I was losing Breakdown. I didn't want to see her sit for hours in the dark, missing someone who will never come back like I did, fall apart like I did. I tightened my my seatbelt around Jackson like an quick embrace, or 'hug', and continued to drive in silence.

A few hours later I pulled up in a familiar field and waited till Jackson got out before transforming. "Knocks, why did we come here?" She asked as she looked around at the field that we often raced in to practice. I gently picked her up before laying on the ground and placing her to my spark. "Sometimes when you lose someone you care about, you just need to sit and look at the stars, hoping they're up there somewhere." I said softly as I stared at the earths sky, different from cybertrons own, but still captivating. I knew I would have a hell of a time cleaned the dirt from my backstruts, but Jack needs this. "Your thinking of Breakdown aren't you?" She asked as she looked at the sky, her voice choked with I unshed tears. I nodded sadly before letting me head fall back to the earth. "Yeah, the universe hates people like us huh?" I said half-sparkedly as I remembered my best friend. "You helped me when he...died, I'll help you." I whispered softly as I held her closer. "You know, I think that one's Breakdown." I said pointing to a star, "See how it's big and different, but still captivating like the other stars? That's definitely him." "And that one is Britany, the way all the other stars keep their distance because she is to awesome for them to handle." I could hear the pain as she said this and said the only thing that I knew would help.

"Cry. Don't hold it in." That said she collapsed onto my spark panel and cried, sobbing at how unfair the world was. I lost my best friend, she lost hers, what did we do wrong? I knew that if she pretended it never happened it would hurt more, and not letting Britany go would kill her mentally. I let her Jackson cry herself to sleep and drove her home, using my holoform to bring her inside her house. I knew that it would be hard for Jack to deal with this, but she won't be alone. It was hard to lose Breakdown, I don't want her to feel the same pain. I can't move in with her due to my duty as a medic, but I will be with her whenever possible. I tucked her into her bed and sat on the side, putting my face in my hands. I never meant to fall for a human. I never wanted to care so deeply for someone, but I did. Now that I'm with Jackie, her slag is my slag, that won't change. I laid beside her and held her in my arms, Primus help her let Britany go.

Just like Breakdown.
