After - The Society Fanfic.

1.

Luke was trying to talk to him, words were falling out of his mouth but Grizz couldn't concentrate. Allie and Will had been escorted back into the car and driven away. Lexie was storming off with a couple of the guard trailing after her. He frantically searches the faces around him, the bodies walking off back towards their homes. No one seemed concerned. Why was no one concerned? A week, they had been gone a week. Or was it longer? This is a fucked-up hole of a universe, maybe they hopped through another door? No. It had only been a week, he was sure of that.

Luke's hands grasp Grizz's shoulders and he finally meets his gaze. Sound slamming to the forefront of his mind. "Grizz? Grizz? Are you okay?" Is he being serious? Is he okay? Had he just watched the same spectacle he had!? He shakes his head and turns to his group. Gwen's wide eyes were trained on, the now distant, body of Clarke as he sauntered off, guarding Lexie. "Grizz. Look. A lot has happened okay? I'll catch you up, we'll-"

"We'll what? Tell them how everything has collapsed? How everything is-" Helena and Luke start arguing. This isn't right, this wasn't them. What the hell is going on? Had they gotten trapped into another universe?

Grizz's head was spinning, he needs a seat. He needs air. A laugh escapes his lips. I'm in the fucking outdoors. He has air. It just isn't enough. He runs his hand through his hair numerous times. Then it hits him. Sam. Where is Sam? Had they arrested Sam? He can feel his breath shortening. Is the ground supposed to feel like water? Sam. Where is he? He realises the noises have stopped. Everyone's staring at him. That's making him feel worse.

A gentle hand touches his arm, instinctively he flinches and looks at where it came from. Kelly's concerned and warm eyes stare up at him. "Grizz? Are you okay?" No. He wanted to say no. He wanted to ask what drugs everyone was on. He wanted to see Sam.

"Sam." His voice tore through his throat. He coughs but it does little to soften anything. "Where's Sam?" From the corner of his eye, he can see Gwen's eyebrows perk a little. Shit. "Becca? Where are they?" Not the best cover at all but no one else seems to notice. Kelly's previous expression of anguish is tinted with joy. Her eyes sparkle as smile bursts across her face. Grizz knew what that meant before she answered. His gut twisted and rejoiced at the same time.

"They're at the hospital. She's had the baby. It's a girl." She's speaking to him like he's an idiot. However, considering the past five minutes, he understands why.

"I need to see them." It came out more panicked than he intended, causing Kelly's smile to falter and the others to raise their eyebrows in a similar fashion to Gwen's. However, Gwen's face has added a curious smirk. Fuck.

Grizz takes, what he believes, is a determined step in the direction of the hospital but stumbles immediately. He was exhausted and stressed and confused and everything. Gordie pops up, hovering beside him, swaying slightly, uneasy. "I'm fine." Gordie's expression suggests he doesn't believe that.

"I think you need to go home. We can regroup in the morning and we'll-" Grizz stares at Gordie until he falls silent.

"I'm not waiting until morning." He starts to walk away from everyone. He hears the small crowd scrambling to follow him. Kelly runs in front, stopping him. "Kelly."

"I know, I know. You're fine but Becca isn't." She quickly corrects herself seeing the sudden panic across everyone's faces. 'No, I mean, she's just had a baby. Gordie and I are going to go back and monitor everything but she's not taking any visitors until tomorrow. Plus, you look like death Grizz. You need to sleep." He looks away. Deep down he understands that she's correct. The last stretch of the hike had really taken it out of them. The excitement of new land was overshadowed by what had felt like a hundred-mile walk.
