I don't think I slept the entire night. Everything seemed to pass by me in a blur, I wasn't sure what to do or what to feel anymore. Everything was numb. It took me hours to get off the floor. I could hear my cell phone ringing not eh floor next to me, and as I poked up to see who it was, my heart sank a little deeper each time that it wasn't his name flashing across the screen.

Eventually it died and the room was filled with nothing but my quiet sobs. It had begun to snow and it didn't seem to stop. I wasn't what time it was that my front door swung open. Normally it would have freaked me out, no one had keys to the apartment except Grey, Seth and I.

But I didn't feel a single thing, I heard the door slam against the back wall as it hit it and I didn't even flinch. Delta came around the corner with Jarak in tow. Grey must have called them.

I felt dead inside, even seeing them, I should have felt something, but nothing. "Oh my god." I hear Delta say in what was barley a whisper. I was still laying on the living room floor, not having moved. My eyes moved up to see her. She had tears in her eyes and looked worried. I was trying to find my voice, say something to make her feel better but I couldn't manage to move my lips. I was just holding onto my body like if I let go all of me was just going to fall apart.

I couldn't look at Jarak. That was Grey's best friend, he shouldn't be here. If we were going to break up, he shouldn't be coming over to comfort me, he should be talking to Grey. That is how friends worked, I was just going to be more upset if we had to split Delta and Jarak because of it. They were never going to break up, but hanging out with them was going to hard. He reminded me of Grey, every memory I have with him is also with Grey.

Jarak made the first move, walking over and leaning down to me. "I am going to take you to the bed okay?" He said softly. I didn't say anything but I didn't stop him as he picked me up, carrying me gently to Grey's room.

I got under the covers, pulling them up to my chest and rolling over so I could see outside the window and watch the snow fall silently. Delta said something to Jarak and he nodded, looking at me and shaking his head.

"please leave." The words came out barley audible but Delta heard them. she looked at Jarak and hen back at me.

"I am going to stay with her tonight. Text me when you get hoe and let me know how  he is doing okay?" Her voice was quiet like she was hoping I wouldn't hear. I was trying not to listen to be honest. But there was nothing else in this room to listen to.

I heard Jarak's footsteps as he left the room as Delta crawled into bed with me, making it sink under her light weight.

She got under the coves, and she didn't say anything, she didn't touch me, she just laid there with me and silently watched the snow fall.

~~

I don't remember what time my eyes eventually closed, but I was hoping that a week had passed by the time i opened them. Unluckily for me though, nothing changed. When I opened my eyes again, Delta was still there, the snow was still falling, now covering everything with inches of white fluff. Everything was exactly the same.

Delta didnt say anything as she got up, taking her cell phone with her. She closed the door behind her but I could still hear her talking not the phone lightly to Jarak in teh kitchen.

"I don't know, a few hours maybe. I am going to call Dylan today, I don't really want her to be left alone while she's like this." She paused but kept going. "Yeh, I guess you can call in Seth, is that what Grey said?"

Grey. hearing his name hurt. I wanted to call him, to talk to him. But I wasnt going to be able to. I wondered if he felt the same way, if he was hurt as much as I was. He was supposed to be coming home tomorrow, was I supposed to stay here or should I go back to Lakens?

"What do you mean he extended his trip til Monday, what is he planning on doing."

So he wasn't coming home tomorrow. That gave me a day to lay in bed and do absolutely nothing and then tomorrow I would pack a bag and I would go back home, at least until I figured out what to do about this mess.

I listened to Delta talk for a few seconds more, none of it really making sense as she responded to whatever Jarak was saying on the other end. Once she hung up she came into the room and stood at the edge of the bed, looking at me.

"Grey called Seth into work today, so he is going come over and hang out tonight since you are alone, is that okay?" I shrugged. I didn't really want Seth here, i wanted him to spend the day with Cecilia and have fun, have a normal life and one babysit me because my boyfriend and I are on the verge of a breakup.

"Don't really want him here." I responded, y lips dry and hard from not talking or moving for over 12 hours.

"okay, well, that was more of a suggestion, he is coming anyways." She was trying to be nice, but I could tell she was just doing as told. I loved her, and I was grateful that she came here for me, I just wished that I wasn't such a burden right now.

"Okay, thank you."

"Would you like me to stay until he got here?" She asked and i shook my head.

No, I really just wanted to be alone, for a few days but I knew I wasn't going to get that so I was going to use the few minutes I had between her departure and Seths arrival.

Seth showed up a little before 1 pm. At least that is what it said on my digital clock on the nightstand. I still hadn't gotten my cell phone from the living room floor and charged it. I hadn't moved, not even to get up to get food or pee.

That was short lived however. As soon as Seth arrived he made food, bringing it to me in bed on a tray with a glass of orange juice.

"You should eat something." He offered as he set it on the nightstand. I didn't say anything, just stared out the window past him. He left and let me do my own thing. He offered to talk to me a few times but I just shook my head, not really wanting any social interaction at the moment.

Today sucked.
