Adam slowly reached a hand out to Sammy, wanting help to get up.

Lennon made a worried sound as he watched them.

Sammy gently pulled Adam up. "He'll be okay," said Monte softly. "Mama will take care of him."

Adam slowly shuffled into the other room.

Lennon nodded slowly. "I know...but he's crying again..." He said, frowning.

Sammy followed Adam, and Elliot closed the door. "He's been holding it back for a long time Len," said Monte.

"I know," Lennon sighed. "Longer than we have..."

Once the door had closed, Adam completely broke down, dropping to his knees, sobbing harder.

Sammy knelt down in front of Adam, wrapping her arms around him, holding him close.

Adam leaned against Sammy, putting his head in his hands again as he sobbed.

Subject: Re: The Past is Another Land Wed Jan 25, 2012 12:15 am

Sammy rubbed Adam's back. "Shhhhhhh Shhhh."

Subject: Re: The Past is Another Land Wed Jan 25, 2012 12:40 am

"I-it hurts..." Adam sobbed, wrapping an arm around himself, reffering to both the sobbing and the memories.

Subject: Re: The Past is Another Land Wed Jan 25, 2012 12:45 am

"I know baby, I know," said Sammy gently. "I know."

Subject: Re: The Past is Another Land Wed Jan 25, 2012 12:52 am

Adam kept sobbing, leaning against Sammy more.

Subject: Re: The Past is Another Land Wed Jan 25, 2012 12:56 am

"I've got you baby, I've got you," said Sammy. "Just breathe Bear, just breathe."

Subject: Re: The Past is Another Land Wed Jan 25, 2012 1:05 am

"I-I'm trying..." Adam sobbed, coughing.

Subject: Re: The Past is Another Land Wed Jan 25, 2012 1:10 am

Sammy kissed Adam's temple, unsure of what else to do.

Subject: Re: The Past is Another Land Wed Jan 25, 2012 1:20 am

""I-I'm pathetic..." Adam eventually mumbled when he'd calmed down enough, hanging his head, sniffing.

Subject: Re: The Past is Another Land Wed Jan 25, 2012 1:32 am

"No Adam no," said Sammy. "Why would you think that?"

Subject: Re: The Past is Another Land Wed Jan 25, 2012 1:34 am

"I...I stayed with her...even after she did that..." Adam said, starting to sob again.

Subject: Re: The Past is Another Land Wed Jan 25, 2012 1:40 am

"Adam, honey," said Sammy gently. "That's not uncommon of people in your situation."

Subject: Re: The Past is Another Land Wed Jan 25, 2012 1:47 am

"But...but I could have left earlier..." Adam mumbled. "Saved the boys from her earlier..."

Subject: Re: The Past is Another Land Wed Jan 25, 2012 2:11 am

"Honey, don't do this to yourself...." Sammy sighed.

Subject: Re: The Past is Another Land Wed Jan 25, 2012 2:20 am

"It's true though...I could have...a-and we wouldn't have to be here..." Adam sobbed.

Subject: Re: The Past is Another Land Wed Jan 25, 2012 2:30 am

"Adam, don't beat yourself up with the coulda's, and the shoulda's, and the woulda's," said Sammy, her accent coming through. "It'll eat you alive."

Subject: Re: The Past is Another Land Wed Jan 25, 2012 2:35 am

"But...but I..." Adam said, coughing again in response to all the sobbing.

Subject: Re: The Past is Another Land Wed Jan 25, 2012 2:37 am

Sammy gently pressed a finger to Adam's lips. "Shhhhhh."

Subject: Re: The Past is Another Land Wed Jan 25, 2012 2:46 am

Adam went quiet, staring at Sammy, though still in tears.
