i will tremble a prayer (and i’ll beg for forgiveness) || friday & sebastian
Friday hasn’t been to work since the raid. She hasn’t really been to sleep since the raid either -- every time she closes her eyes, she sees Rhys with a gun to his head telling her to run before the Initiative takes him away. Her guilty conscience isn’t helping matters either: she’d drawn it. Not clearly enough to be able to stop it from happening, but still. She should’ve shown someone. Anyone.
And now Rhys is gone, and she can only imagine what they’re doing to him. Sometimes she does, just to punish herself. But more often than not, Friday is desperately, desperately trying to find him. After days and days of trying, she’s had zero success, but she won’t give up. She hadn’t when she’d been looking for him in every bar in LA, and she won’t now. When it occurs to her that maybe something of his will help her focus on him, she feels a spike of something resembling optimism for the first time in days.
It’s early afternoon when she reaches tentatively for the handle of the front door. She hadn’t thought of how to get inside, and now that she’s here, she’s not so sure she wants to. Her guilty conscience screams at her that she deserves to be surrounded by the void and lifeless place that should instead be so full of him, and she agrees. It’s with a shaking hand that she turns the handle and to her surprise, the door opens. She stands shocked, too surprised and scared to step through the door.
“H-.......hello? Is.........is someone in h-here?”
