It's quiet uptown

Lin' s pov

I'm crying into Jonathan's shoulder right now. I can't believe she's dead, she can't be dead. This is all just a bad dream and tomorrow I'm going to wake up next to my Vanessa and make her and Sebbie a breakfast.

" Lin?" I hear Groff asking. I sound out a choke that kind of sounds like yeah. " Do you want to go get Sebbie and get out of here?" I again choke out a sound that sounds like yeah and start to get out of Groffs warm embrace. I kind of want to get back in his embrace, his safe arms and stay there until I am no longer in the world. Groff tries to look in my eyes, his blue eyes full of compassion and sadness, he must have seen in my eyes that I wanted to keep on hugging, because he pulled me back in his embrace for a few seconds. Whispering "I'm so sorry Lin". When we get out of the hug I look into his eyes and there are tears streaming down his face. I wipe away his tears and he in turn wipes away my tears even though it's not much use, because my eyes immediately fill up with new ones.

"Can you stay for a few days?" I choke out, almost afraid for his answer, what if he says no, I need him right now, he is my best friend. "Of course, whatever you need Lin, I love you and Sebbie"

time jump to Lins house

When I get through the door I immediately crash on the couch, this day was so emotionally draining, that I'm mentally and physically exhausted. I'm staring into space too tired to think about anything or shed any tears, Groff comes in. He says that he made a bath for me and practically carries me to the bathroom. I take of my clothes and step into the warm bath, the water feeling like a warm hug, washing of all the worry and sadness of this day away.

Groffs pov

Lin's been in the bathroom for a long time now. Is he all right? I should probably go check on him, no he is probably just trying to process today I should give him his time. After another half an hour I decide that I should really check on him, what if he like slipped in the bathtub or hurt himself?? I knock on the bathroom door " Lin??" I ask in a soft voice. No answer. I knock again this time a little bit louder, still no answer. Oh my god, what if he is hurt. "Lin, please answer?" I say again, just like the other times no answer. I decide to kick down the door. I give it a good kick. It doesn't budge. Another kick. Nothing. Third times the charm I think before throwing my entire body into the kick. The door pops open, ouchhhh my foot, fuck I curse under my breath. I quickly look around, to thankfully find Lin in the bath, asleep, the poor lad must have been so tired that he fell asleep in the tub.

I quickly drain the bath and lift him up to his bed, making sure my eyes don't drift to more... southern regions. He looks absolutely adorable but at the same time a look of sadness is in his face, even in his dreams the sorrow of today follows him. I quickly put him in bed, deciding not to put a pj on him, considering that would be invading his personal space too much. Still, I can't help myself giving him a kiss on the forehead after tucking him in and whispering in his ear " You' re going to be okay, I'm going to take care of you and Sebbie" I exit the room, checking on Sebbie one last time and then settling down on the couch with a blanket and pillow.
