Who: Dylan Hayes and Emily Cauldwell
What: Consoling Dylan
When: Wednesday night
Where: Dylan's apartment



There was not a lot of concrete evidence in Dylan's apartment that would indicate that he'd just had his heart shattered into a million billion pieces. No broken pieces of furniture, no cracked windows, no toiletries flug across the room, no upturned glasses, no bottles. He was fine, really. There was no physical expression of the sickening, simmering rage he was feeling. He was just sitting in the kitchenette, one leg curled under him, the other tapping almost manically against the floor. He was in this position for roughly twenty minute straight, until a knock at his front door broke him from his revelry. He rose slowly, his arms and legs not quite cooperating.

He opened the door to find Emily Cauldwell standing there. There were no words. His left hand began to visibly shake.

Emily was nervous and reasonably so. She had no idea what kind of state she was going to find Dylan Hayes in. He hadn't sounded good on the phone, like he was trying to contain everything that Emily knew from experience had to be let out. If you kept those sorts of things in, they just built up and built up until they became too much and you exploded at all the wrong people. Emily knew that.

Taking a moment in his driveway to collect herself, she hurried to his doro, caught off guard by just how broken he looked. "Dylan," she breathed, stepping out of the cold and shutting the door behind her. Her arms quickly moved to wrap around him in a hug, not considering he might be uncomfortable or that it put her in a vulnerable position were he more angry than she'd originally thought.

Dylan made a soft sound of protest as Emily closed the gap between them. Logically he knew that if his outward appearance was reflective of the way he was feeling inside, then he must have been in bad enough shape to elect a very large degree of sympathy from her. So he let her hug him, for quite a while, and it was almost comforting.

Almost, because he'd already snapped.

"I'm alright." He murmured after a while, lightly touching her shoulder. He didn't pull away from her, instead he raised both arms to hug her back firmly. "But I'm glad you're here."

Emily was surprised he actually moved to hug her back, especially with any sort of firmness to it, but she wasn't complaining. Hey, Emily wasn't exactly having the best day of her life either. "I'm sorry," she mumbled. "I should have known better. I should have told you to stay away, but I wanted him to be different. I wanted to believe he was a better person than he is."

"You and me both," Dylan replied, "I don't blame you." That was the truth, he didn't find Emily at fault in this horrid, horrid mess. Every single little ounce of blame fell squarely on Evan Elkins' shoulders, and he was going to pay for it. Oh, was he going to pay. Dylan let go of Emily and drew away a few inches. "Do you want something to drink? Or - something?" He asked stiffly.
