Lindsay woke up for the 6th time in the past few hours and every time she thought it was just a dream but it wasn't. She could feel her face puffed up and her heart aching. Wanting to sleep for days she put her head phones in her ears turned on her iPod and fall back to sleep. At 9am Stella was already up and making a plan. She had already spoken to Mac and gotten her and Danny the day off work. All that was needed now was for Flack to take the day off. Stella and Flack had feelings for each other but refused to face it. It's like they were in high school again. Stella knew getting him to take the day off would be very easy to do so that was the least of her worries. Instead of making two phones Stella wanted to make her life easier and use 3 way calling.
"Hello Boys" Stella spoke loudly as the two men answered their phones.
"What … Boys who is this" Danny asked half asleep
"What the hell" Don asked confused by the phone call
"God you slow. Its Stella I have you two on 3 way" She answered them while trying not to giggle at how they were so outta it.
"Oh hey Stell what's up?" Danny asked still half asleep.
"Both of you need to wake up and listen to me. Flack you are calling in sick today and Danny you already have the day off I call Mac." She started to tell them before being interrupted
"Why is something wrong" Flack asked all of a sudden very concerned with his curly haired friend.
"Yes something's very wrong, just not with me we are going to fix Lindsay." Answering his question she could help but get butterflies in her stomach knowing that he was worried about her.
"Wait what do you mean by fix?" Again Flack asked very confused.
"Her boyfriend cheated on her and we have to make her feel love, now both of you get ready and pick me up. You got 20 minutes let's move it." She told them with her "boss" voice that both men agreed
The boys got there a little late of course but Stella would let it slide because there were more important things to worry about.
"So what do we have to do for this plan?" Danny asked willing to do anything to help Lindsay. He could cut off his own arm if she asked him too.
"Well one time when Linds and I were talking she told me that when she was younger and she was sad she would get chocolate Hagen daz ice cream and watch Finding Nemo. I don't know why Finding Nemo or why it has to be Hagen daz but that's what works for her so we are going to get enough for the 4 of us go to her house watch as many sad movies talk as much as is need. We will stay as long as she needs us there." Stella talked as fast as she could to get it out so they could get on with the plan
"But what is she doesn't want us there?" Flack asked worried that they would just make it worse. He wasn't sure how Lindsay would feel about the four of them taking over her place.
"Well she has no choice she is not going through this alone." She answered his question in a tone that made sure there would be no more questions about not doing this.
They went to six different stores because for some reason none of them had Lindsay's ice cream but they were gonna do whatever it took to get it. Finally around 11 they were done and set off to Lindsay's house. On the drive over Stella double checked that she had the key to Lindsay place. Lindsay had given it to her after a case where a person had died and not been found for months because they had no family. She was freaked out that she had no one in the city so she made sure that she had someone. They got out of the car and started to walk into the building where the heart broken girl was wishing she could sleep forever. They finally made it up the stairs with all the bags they had brought. Not just the food and movies but Stella bought her a stuffed animal and a soft blanket, Danny brought one of his old sweaters that would be way too big on the small girl but perfect to be comfy in. Flack brought something no one would ever think he would have. He brought the movies Serendipity. When Stella and Danny both gave that look all he could muster up was "it's a good movie". Not bothering to knock they all let themselves in. Going right to Lindsay's room bags in hand they found her curled up in a ball dried tear tracks on her face. Stella bent down beside the bed and started rubbing Lindsay's head. Lindsay woke up gave Stella a small smile and then wrapped her arms tight around her friend. The moment Stella returned the hug Lindsay broke down again sobbing into her shoulder. After the hug that seemed like forever ended she found her voice.
"What are you guys doing here shouldn't you be at work?" Lindsay asked still chocked up but still got the words out.
Danny of course was the first to answer that." Stella called in sick for me and her and Flack called in sick to just so we could come be with you" he said with his half smile that melted anyone's heart
Lindsay couldn't help but smile. The last time she felt like this around friends was in the diner all those years ago.
She slowly sat up and looked at the guys who were holding the bags" So what's in the bags?"
"Simply everything we need for today" Flack answered very vaguely.
Stella hit him in the arm and answered the question herself" we brought Hagen daz and Finding Nemo. All the things that made you feel better when you were younger." Stella gave her a small smile hoping that they were really helping
The thought of everything they had done had brought more tears to Lindsay's eyes this time they were good tears.
"What else is there" she asked noticing that there were many bags to many for what Stella said they brought.
Danny started to blush" Well I brought you one of my sweaters it will be big on you but you know. Stell bought you a stuffed animal and a blanket and well Flack brought you Serendipity" He couldn't say that last part with a straight face no matter how hard he tried.
"Shut Up guys it's a good movie" Flank said in defence of his nice jester.
"Thank you all of you for everything." Lindsay replied with the sweetest smile she could muster up.
"Well make room." Stella told her while Flack put on the movie and Danny got the spoons.
"You guys are gonna stay here with me?" She asked truly touched by what they were doing.
"Of course Montana we are here for you" Danny said as he handed out the spoons and sat right beside Lindsay.
"Hey Danny….pass the sweater?" She asked him watching a slight blush creep its way to his cheeks. Danny happily passed her the sweater and watched her pull it on. He had never seen her look sexier than she did in his sweater.
"Ok guys no talking through the movie" she instructed as everyone got comfy and started eating the 2 pints of ice cream that had been bought.
They watched all of Finding Nemo with Lindsay laughing at her favourite part and now insisting that she will only call Danny squishy every time she sees him. Before they had knew it they had watched 5 movies Stella and Flack were asleep on each other and Lindsay was laying on Danny's chest, where for the first time in the past two days she felt safe. Lindsay was asleep but Danny was stayed awake. He held her closed and stroked her hair, hoping to keep her calm. All of a sudden she woke up like she had so many times the past night in tears but this time Danny started to dry them right away.
"Hey hey Montana why are you crying?" Danny asked as he lifted her chin so he can look in her big brown eyes.
"It hurts so much and every time I try to sleep I can hear see it over and over again" she answered him trying hard not to wake her sleeping friends beside her.
"It's ok I'm here go back to sleep." He told her pulling her tighter to his chest and started to play with her hair again.
"Can you rub my back for me?" She asked him her eyes full of tears so how could he say no. He started to rub her back and he could feel her relaxing. Before she was asleep he lowered his mouth to her ear and whispered" Anyone who would make your brown eyes blue doesn't deserve you" He slowly moved his lips to her cheek and gave her a kiss that said more than any words would ever be able to say.
