Cal awoke alone, which was odd seeing as he knew he’d fell asleep with Dru, after stretching he got out of bed,flicking the switch on the kettle he got 3 mugs ready and made the coffees, he placed Ethan’s on the table before placing his and Dru’s down too, running his hand over the back of his neck he tried to think where she may have gone so early in the day when he thought he heard something, it sounded like someone was crying and if he wasn’t mistaken it was coming from the rooftop.
Dru was sat on the wall looking down at the street below, she couldn’t shake the feeling that shed let him down, just as she’d let many others down, her thoughts went to that of her brother Xavier, he was killed because of her and there was nothing she could do to stop it, sure herself and Arie had taken the demonic scum out one by one but it didn’t change the fact her brother was dead, then there was the Angel Cassandra, shed lost her life because she helped a halfling, all she does is hurt people or get them killed, what was the point anymore, leaning forward she closed her eyes, the next thing she knew was a pair of strong arms had linked around her waist and was now pulling her close, "Dru what the hell are you doing?!" Cal’s voice was strong but also scared he needed to find out why his best friend thought that throwing herself off the rooftop would be a good idea, pulling her off the ledge he sat on the floor cradling her close to him. Looking up at him her eyes were bloodshot from crying, she took a deep breath and started talking " I I’m sorry, I failed you and Xavier and Cassandra and I cant deal with that" he couldn’t understand why she was saying she had failed, in his eyes she hadn’t failed at all, shed brought him back, gave him a second chance, and he was not going to give up on helping her see that she’s everything but a failure in his eyes, hugging her tight he rested his chin on her head and whispered in her ear "its going to be OK, your going to be OK, I promise" he sighed slightly at the realization that this was going to be a long journey.
