An hour later, he got woken by the sound of the opening door.
Lincoln opened his eyes because he thought Lori came back but instead of Lori, a three people came in, a man a woman holding a little girl in her arms, and stopped immediately when they saw him sitting there.
"Please, excuse us, we thought this one would be empty." "Leave." Lincoln said cold with a serious expression, shoving his hand in the pocket with the gun, pulling it out a little to threat them to leave. The woman noticed something before wispering someting in the mans ear. "Is that a baby", the man pointed at the little blanket bundle in Lincolns arms, making him angry while holding Lio closer on his chest.
"Let us take it with us, it will die if it-" "FUCK OFF", Lincoln yelled pulling out the gun complettly and pointed it on the man, making the woman flinch and turned away to protect the little girl. But the man didn't flinch only had rasied his hands slowly.
"Please, hear me out. If it stays it will die of hunger, both of you will. We can help the baby and you, we have enough food for it too. So, would your food last for more than a week, probably. Otherwise you had to give most of to it, right? Please, we will take good care of it." The man explained while stepping slowly closer, against every please of the woman.
LIncoln lowered the gun but didn't let go and looked at Lio's sleeping face, deep in thoughts. The man was right with everything he said about their situation. He would be the one overing his own life for Lio's sake. It break his heart to know that he was right. Lincoln got no other option. That will give at least Lio a little chance to survive the shit they're in.
He leand his forhead against Lio's for a moment before looking back up to the man, who was already half way by the matress, his arms already lowered as well. "How can I know that you're telling the truth." The man sighed. "You can't. I'm sorry."
"Fuck", Lincoln growned under his breath before giving Lio a last look. "Ok." He sighed and gave Lio a kiss on the forhead before Lincoln handed him over to the man, slowly. Letting his head sank as the man was holding Lio in his arms. "What is it name?" "Lio. He's a boy", he said as he pulled the hood of the jacked deeper into his face while bitting himself on the lower lip, sobbing.
The man nooded and headed towards the door. First letting his woman and kid leave than he left but stopped in the door frame, turning his head back to Lincoln. "You, won't regreat the choice. Take care." And with that he left, closing the door behind himself.
As soon the door clicked into the lock, he threw the gun against the side wall and sreamed his lunges out out of frustration and sadness, tears rushing down his cheeks. "WHY! WHY! WHY!" He punched with his balded fist repietaly the foor before knocking himself out as he slammed his, already injured head against the floor, immidatelly collapsing.
When he had regaint back his sinaty, he crawled slowly on the matress and laid down on it, with a bleeding forehead. 'Please Lori, hurry up.' He thought while curling himself up into a ball, crying himself to sleep.
*A few days later*
Everything went wrong, that could be going worng, like the food went out earlier than he thought even with only him eating it, the front door of the arparment block was frozen shut like the windows of the flat he was in but worst of all he was alone, no Lori, no Lio...nobody. Only himself, left alone with his haunting memories and the constantely reminder and thought that Lio better taken care of, by the other family than him. Regreating his decision, tough.
"I wish Lori would be here, she would telling me I did the right thing...before beating my ass because I let him go or something." He giggled slightly, getting slowly tireder and tireder because of the lack of sleep, he had the last few days. Plus the lack of food and the raising cold in the room and out side.
'I'm so tierd I just want to sleep' Lincoln thought and closed his eyes, letting out a deep breath. "I'm...sorry...", he said with his last breath, before falling into a deep sleep. The best one he ever had.
The last thing on in his mind, was Lori, kneeing next to him reaching out for him with a warm smile, stroking his head. He could feel the warmth going out form her, while the others were standing behind her, including their parents and Lily, some having her arms laid around eatchother while smiling.
It was so nice to see everyone again. Even Lucy had a smile on her mostly cold looking face.
Only Lio was missing in the picture, meaning that he was fine, where ever his is and knowing that made Lincoln happy. His eyes got heaver the more he tried to stay awake. Lori gave him a last kiss on his forehead and everything faded slowly into blackless.
'It's alright Lincoln. You can rest now.'
