Status: Complete

Jenny stood in the doorway to the green room, leaning against the doorframe with her cheek against the jamb. She played idly with her hair, twirling one long dark tendril around her finger over and over again. Her expression was a bit dreamy but she was really thinking, struggling to decide. She'd been here a few days now and it was time for a shower or cleanliness of some sort. She'd heard that there had been a few things in the gas station but considering the snow was nearing the second story windows, she wasn't going out there by herself to fetch anything. That left asking someone to go with her and she wasn't sure about the other girls. She did not want to come across as being too helpless when she clearly was not. Still, Shannon's words flashed in her mind that this place was dangerous - and was it! - and she needed someone to protect her.

Watching the kid in the green room, her eyes followed the movement of his arms with each annoying slap of the ball he'd found against the wall or floor or the palm of his hand. Sid. She was actually contemplating asking this kid who was probably 10 years younger than her, even if he did hold the promise of some muscle beneath the layers, to help her go and get shower supplies. And then perhaps even accompany her to the shower so she wouldn't have to go alone. Why the fuck were there no other men in this theater when she needed them? Where had Logan gone after the failed rescue attempt when she'd ended up naked on stage with Leo? Where the fuck was Leo, for that matter?

Sid. She was stuck with Sid. And he was nice enough but she wasn't quite sure yet. Wasn't sure if it was even necessary for a shower now that she thought about it. She began to turn away and her dress caught on the bristled edge of the splintered doorframe. The small tear caused her to cuss. "Fucking fuck!" she hollered and glanced up quickly in a vain attempt to be sure he hadn't heard her. Of course he had, she'd been loud enough to wake the dead. The slapping of the ball had stopped and Jenny grimaced, trying to turn it into a sweet smile. "Sorry, um, my dress. I - would you come with me to the gas station?" she blurted out before she could stop herself.

When Jenny got to her feet and then told him to go on without her, Sid furrowed his brow. But, he wanted to go back and she was telling him to go. Plus, she was wanting him to go without her which meant he could move faster. Right, then.

"Right, okay," he replied with a shrug. It wasn't a new thing for Sid to be dismissed and, in this case, he certainly didn't mind. It was bloody cold in here and he wanted to get back to the theatre. If she didn't want to come, then she didn't want to come. He wasn't going to beg her. He could hear her sniffling and that meant either she was going to get sick from the horrible weather or she was crying. If she was crying, it was definitely time for Sid to go. He didn't do well with crying women or girls. The fuck was he supposed to say to make her feel better? If it was Cass, he usually knew at least what to try, but Jenny was a stranger and he had no idea where to begin. Better, then, if he just didn't bother.

"You're welcome. 's all right. Stay warm, yeah?" he asked as he started away in the opposite direction. "See you 'round, Jenny," he added. "Feel better."

With that, Sid put his coat back on and pulled it around himself tightly before heading back out into the snow.

"See you 'round," he said and Jenny turned toward him, her mouth open to say something else. Maybe reach out and ask for what she needed. Her voice caught in her throat when she saw he was actually leaving. She'd wanted him to leave. She didn't want to keep him there on her account and he should leave. He shouldn't have to stay.

An overwhelming sense of loneliness filled her then as she watched him go back outside. Sinking slowly to the ground, Jenny sat on the cold floor of the gym. She hugged her knees against her chest and set her cheek on the tops of them.

"Goodbye, Sid," she whispered and closed her eyes.
