Summary: He's all alone, all by himself, there is no one here beside him, he's all alone. Apart from us, no one to comfort him or guide him…
AN: Okay, now it's angst time, Louie's out of the picture, Aiden is resting in peace (bless her), and Flack's laid up. This song is from Spamalot, and it totally reminds me of Danny… sometimes. The stereotype of Danny is a guy who pushes everyone away no matter who or what is with him. This is just an extreme example…
Chapter Four - I'm All Alone
Louie; Coma. Aiden; Six feet under. Flack; Hospital. Danny Messer mentally checked off everyone he could talk to. He had no one, such a vicious circle – the people he got council from were the ones making him seek it. He sat in the empty break room feeling like he was the last thing on the planet. Not even the cockroaches, Keith Richards, or Aerosmith was left. He heaved a heavy sigh,
"I'm all alone, all by myself. There is no one here beside me; I'm all alone quite, all alone." He said to himself breathily. "No one to comfort me or guide me, why is there no one here with me on the long and winding road to lift my heavy load. If there were someone here with me how happy I would be; but I'm alone, quite all alone, all by myself I'm all alone." Someone to help him, like Aiden – he remembered bitterly the last time he sought her council, he had promised her a wedding invitation and let her down on several levels. If Flack were conscious he would've said that it wasn't so, but he was in the hospital, so was Louie – so it wasn't like he could get drunk as a way out.
"I'm all alone." His words made Lindsay Monroe pause outside the door instead of head for home. Her heart broke for him, she could understand sorrow, and what it did when you bottled it up, taking a breath she crossed the room and stood in front of him saying,
"He's all alone."
"All by myself." He continued not looking at her.
"Except for me." Lindsay corrected him, crouching down in front of him.
"I cannot face tomorrow." Danny said.
"He cannot face it…" she said trying to meet his eyes.
"I'm all alone." The blue pools were closed but leaking, with her thumb she wiped away the trail of crystal.
"Though I am here." She said softly.
"So all alone."
"So very near."
"No one to share my sorrow…" He was determined to be alone, despite the fact a very willing ear and shoulder were within arms reach. Lindsay looked at her hands, the calluses were more aware of her than he was.
"You know it seems quite clear to me because I'm working class, I am just the horse's ass. He sells me down the river, so what am I, chopped liver?"
"But I'm alone." He was really not listening, Lindsay felt herself losing her meticulous control.
"Oh no you're not!"
"So all alone."
"I'm here you twat!" She really wanted to hit him.
"All by myself I'm all alone." Lindsay heaved a frustrated groan. Her emission was a call drawing Mac, Stella, and Hawkes to her side.
"He's all alone." The said joining Lindsay at his side.
"I'm all alone." Danny said, Lindsay got up from her crouch and joined the semi – circle of her peers as they looked upon the broken man before them.
"All by himself."
"All by myself."
"There is no one here beside him, He's all alone." The CSIs observed together.
"So all alone." Danny continued in utter self pity.
"Apart from us," The team said loudly looking at one another. Nothing fazed him and eventually they gave up; can't beat 'em, join 'em. "No one to comfort him or guide him."
"Each one of us is all alone. So what are we to do in order to get through - we must be lonely side by side, it's a perfect way to hide."
"We're all alone." Mac, Stella, Sheldon, and Lindsay agreed, to every man his own delusion.
"We're all alone." He was really serious.
"Yes all alone."
"So all alone, each by ourselves we're all alone." Danny finished in such a state of despair that the team couldn't take it. They left him to his pity party with nothing but a note telling him that they were all alone together at a bar.
