Chapter 2: Sway
Lisbon leant her head down on her desk and let a single tear escape her usually tough facade. Her brother had just been found as a drugged-up murderer, barely conscious with all the cocaine pulsing in his system, and she had been the one to tackle him to the ground while his own arm pointing a gun at her. His own sister, the one who had been there for him, through everything.
When the sun comes down
When the rain wash away
All the hopes I can bring
To another day
Another day
He was in the hospital, they still didn't know whether he was going to make it, a drug overdose is regularly unpredictable. She hugged her arms tightly around herself and let another tear drift down her pale cheek. She couldn't help but think that this was all her fault, if she would have checked up on him more often, or visited him, and then this would have never happened. The whole team had been silent on the way back, and knew that she needed some time to herself right now.
When your trees start to sway
And the wind makes them move
I can tell that
You don't know
"Lisbon?" spoke a tender voice from the doorway. She lifted her head up sharply and wiped away the stray tears.
"What do you want Jane?" She asked in a tired voice, resting her head on her hand.
"I need to see whether you're ok, I...the team are worried sick about you" Jane stuttered, he looked as if he didn't know what to say, which was a first.
"Do I look ok Jane, really?" She sighed weakly. The phone on her desk started to ring obnoxiously. She didn't even look at it.
To all the fights I've conquered and beyond
The times have changed and I will now move over slowly...
But through it all I still feel lost without you
Hard to find a new soul
The silence takes its toll
"No, and I think that's for you" he said, gesturing at the phone. She sighed again and answered the phone.
"Lisbon... Thank you" She put down the phone and broke down. Jane ran over to her and wrapped his arms round her. He didn't have to ask what the call was about, her brother had just died.
Jane knew what it was like to lose someone, but he handled it the wrong way, leading eventually to a mental hospital. He knew that Lisbon would blame it all on herself, and it would be unlikely that he would be able to convince her otherwise.
Just sway
You don't know...
Just sway
You don't know...
Just sway
When all you want is to find home...
"It's Ok, I'm here...shhh" he soothed while rubbing slow, comforting circles on her back. She sobbed into his shoulder, clutching at him like a lifeline, because that was what he was to her. Always there to get her through anything, she knew that, when it mattered, he'd be there for her. Jane was reminded of when he lost his wife and child, all the weeks of nothing but mindless sobbing, and the constant feeling of alone. He would never want Lisbon, his Lisbon to feel anywhere near to how he had felt. He had had no one and that is what lead him into spiralling depression. He would be there for Lisbon, always, not even Red John could get in the way of her.
Theres a light pausing
Feel the volume of the sky
Mark your place in time with another question why...
Tiny flickers in the night
Always lookin to be right
"Lisbon? Lisbon? Teresa?" She looked up when he spoke her first name. Her eyes were red and she had a look of pure grief on her face.
"Lisbon, I know you probably won't believe me the first time, but this is not your fault, If there was anything you could do, You can't do anything now, he's gone" He knew that she wasn't going to be one of the people who just needed false reassurance, she needed the truth, no matter how hard it was. He knew that saying that there was nothing she could do would make her either angry, or even more upset, and he knew he had said the right thing.
You don't know
Just sway
You don't know
Just sway
When all you want is to find home...
For the next, God knows how long, they both sat there, she was talking about him, and what he was like. Jane holding and comforting her when her voice cracked and the tears started to fall again. She looked up at him with a small smile on her face.
"Patrick?" She said quietly. Jane was taken slightly off guard when she called him by his first name.
"Yes?"
"Thank you" She hugged him and he smiled slightly.
"Any time"
Just sway
And you don't love
Just sway
And you don't know
Just sway
When all you want is to find home...
