Yulia knew she shouldn't hate anyone but when she woke up later that night only to see that Lena was sitting on the bed, her knees drawn to her chest, sobs shaking her frame even though she wasn't being loud.

"Lenok?"

She asked with a yawn as she sat up, turning to face her girlfriend.

When She didn't receive reply back she chose to scoot over closer to the redhead, wrapping an arm around her shoulders.

She didn't have to ask because, despite everything and how strong Lena was trying to be she knew what was bothering her and she hated Sergey for it.

Lena leaned over against her after a while, prompting the shorter girl to pull her into a full on embrace, wishing she could do anything to make her feel better.

"You know if someone acts like that they're not worth crying over."

Yulia said after a while before adding

"I know that doesn't stop it from hurting though."

An uneasy silence passed over them as Lena slowly cried herself out. Neither one knowing what to say or do that would make any difference. Though after a while Yulia lay back, bringing Lena down with her.

"Let's just pretend it's only us. Forget about the assholes and shit for a while."

Yulia stated, pressing a kiss against Lena's forehead

"I'll protect you from all their shit."

Yet Lena didn't say anything, though she moved to press a chaste kiss to the brunette's lips. Hoping the motion would convey the emotions that she wasn't sure how to express otherwise.
