“Kurt, I get you to bed okay” she whined, uncross her arm, reached him, take his arm around her waist and get him not fight walking them to the bedroom, he hugging her closed to his side, leaning close to her hair, his breath hot again her “You smell good” he mumbled to have grunted by her as she kept they balance to climb the stairs, shifting her grip on him a little tighter when she felt as if he was slipping under her hold
“Come on, work with me Kurt” she grumble as they move stumble on the stair
“I’m sorry” he said quietly as they climbed the stairs again with a little strength from him
She had no other choice but to take him to her bedroom, she forget guest room was locked and can’t stand the weight of him any longer, She grunted when they finally reached the bed, easing him into it, remove his boots, and cover him in the blanked, went to change clothes and clean herself, she come back to watched him for awhile, make sure he sleeping, when she thought so, she turned around only stop when Kurt reached her hand, she hesitated but hear him mumbled “please stay Di” make Diane turned around to looked at his heavy eyes.
She had no strength to fight, she knew that he wouldn’t rest while drinking if no one stroked his hair or stay next him, she just pull her hand away to moving on the bed next to him, she faced him, slowly move her hand, reached forward and smoothed the stray hair from his forehead, after all this time it feels weird when you have someone beside you, sleeping on your bed, they have separated their house for a year, he stay in the country and she here in the city, work always make them separate, after five years trying together
She looked at his face watched his breath change, she knew he was ready drift away, his expression calm unlike she saw in the living room, haven't done this for a long time to him, not to forget how desperate he is, she gulped, inhaled lowly, hold back her tears
“I’m sorry kurt” running her fingers softly in his hairs, she closed her eyes don’t know her sadness make her drift away too

“Hello, Cary, what’s wrong?” she answered while trying to gather her thoughts
“Director firth wants to see you this morning, before the morning News meeting” he said on the other line
“Okay, see you in nine” with that she hung up and returned to the kitchen to drink her coffee
After finishing her coffee she returned to the bedroom with a glass of water and painkiller on his nightstand, careful not to make a sound, she rushed to get ready to work, she returned with the clothes and makeup on, ready to work, she sit beside him, watched him for awhile reached forward and smoothed the stray hair from his forehead gently, feeling guilty leaving him alone, she exhaled deeply and take a note in her bag and write it, decided to leave it too on nightstand
