Brianna: never made someone cry before!

- - - - - -

nick found me crying in his lab.

i was clutching his lab coat and smelling it, just like i had with his pillow. i found his favorite black flag CD and blasted it.

just like he would want it.

i had black streaks down my face and i looked possessed, claimed nick.

but when i tried laughing, my breathing hitched in my throat and i began sobbing again.

he grabbed me up in a hug and told me greg was a fighter. he would make it through.

he cradled me in his chest, his strong arms wrapped around me. he told me that he would pull through for me.

it was almost as good as having greg there.

almost.
