Live Again
Breakthroughs Continued....
She took an unsure step towards him, then froze in her place as he stared over at her with the same lost look she had seen before obvious in his eyes. He swallowed the lump in his throat, and as hard as he tried to stop it his words came out in a sob,"I can't...."
She was at his side as he fell back agasint the wall and sank to the floor, and took him into her arms. As much as she hated seeing him like this, sobbs racking his shaking frame, tears running rivers down his cheeks, she thanked god she had gotten through to him before holding all of this in completely destroyed him.
Rick clung tightly to her, crying. For all the times he had forced himself to hold it in. For all the years together him and Evy had lost in those few short moments. For all the things he had left unsaid and would never get to tell her. Rick cried for his son left without a mother.... and for himself left without the love of his life.
Danielle held him like that for a long time, rocking him softly, until the sobs subsided. But when he looked up at her tears were still running down his face, and when he tried to talk he still couldn't find enough strength to let it out.
"Shhh." she whispered, running her fingers back through his hair, letting him know he didn't have to talk right now.
He sniffled slightly, closing his eyes and resting his head against her shoulder. They sat like that for a few more moments, tears still silently rolled down his cheeks. When he found his vioce he managed a megar whisper,"I rarely told her I loved her....."
Dani tightened her arms around his shoulders slightly, resting her head against his,"I'm sure she knew."
"I used to think so.......... I'm no good with words........ I always tried to show her...... and I always thought she knew.... but then....." he trailed off, sniffling again, rubbing his red eyes as another round of tears pooled in them.
"She knew." she whispered to him,"She knew. I think it's rather obvious ho much you loved her."
He let out a shuttering sigh,"She ment everything to me........... she was an angel. My angel........ she saved my life then turned me around and showed me I didn't have to live like I had been.. She showed me someone cared about me.......... she was all I ever wanted or needed...... she was amazing..."
She gazed down at him, giving him a weak smile as he talked, not quite sure what to say now. Like him, words never came easy to her. Expecally when it came to helping him now. He had always been the strong one. Nothing ever bugged him, and if something did, it had always been so easy for him to just get rid of the problem. She had never seen him cry, she had never seen him the least bit helpless. This was a weird, hard possition for her to be in. It didn't help that she hadn't known Evelyn, and didn't know much of what had happened to him since he was eight-teen.
Rick stared into her eyes for a minuet before scooting away,"I'm sorry..... I guess I shouldn't have--"
She gently pulled him back down as he atempted to stand on shakey leggs,"I told you you could talk to me, didn't I? I ment it."
He smiled faintly, leaning over and giving her a hug,"Thank you."
She pulled away enough to look up at his face,"I want to help you, Rick...... but I don't think there's much I can do besides listen......" she wraped her arms around his neck, kissing his cheek and hugging him again,"Talk to Alex..... you need him, and I know he needs you."
He rested his head against hers, nodding slowly in agreement,"I will."
