Where: The Theater (to start)
Rating: R (when do we ever not have language?)
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.

Girlfriend? Fuck, that changed everything and now Sid felt badly for...well, everything, really, that had been going through his mind. "Pretty people?" Sid laughed. "Think I might be in the wrong bloody nightmare, then," he joked. Although, he did have to agree that most of the people he'd met could probably be considered as such.

Jenny asked for Cass's name and his hand stilled on the side of her head. "Cassie," he replied with a small, fond smile tugging at his lips. He resumed the stroking of Jenny's hair figuring it was better if she was calm and warm again before he suggested for a second time that he take her back to the theatre. "How long have you been with yours?" he asked, trying to make conversation.

He wondered if this was what Tony felt like. That night when Effy had overdosed and he and Sid himself had had to get her to the hospital. The whole protective thing. It wasn't really Sid's thing normally, but he felt badly for Jenny. She missed someone, too; she knew how he felt. There was some sort of bonding going on there, he thought maybe, even if it was over something so miserable. Maybe Sid had just made another friend out of this bloody mess.

Jenny opened her eyes when Sid's hand stopped against her hair. She peeked up at him, only able to see the underside of his chin from where her face was half-hidden against him. He sounded like the thought of Cassie comforted him the same way thinking about Nikki had kept her from going too far over the edge. When he started playing with her hair again, she closed her eyes once more, trying to take deep breaths without it being too obvious. She didn't want him to know she was crying or he might get weirded out. It was to his credit that he hadn't gotten angry with her for that little episode. The stress here was so phenomenal though that she wasn't sure how much more she could take without completely folding.

"That's a pretty name," she said softly and brushed tears from his shirt with her cold and trembling fingers. "I haven't been with Nikki long but I love her. I know I do." She sniffled without realizing she was doing it and sighed shakily. Without thinking about it really, she put her arms around Sid's middle in a sort of awkward way because of the angle she was at. Clinging to him she shook with the effort not to cry out loud. When was this going to be over? This fucking nightmare?
