Lauren finally exhausted herself to a point where she just curled up in a little ball and cried. She really wasn't good for much more right now. She did however turn over and motion for Jordan to join her. Right now she needed a pure and simple cuddle pile.

Jordan smiled weakly as she'd exhausted it from her system, nodding to her as she motioned for him to join her. He didn’t hesitate to comfort her, climbing onto the tattered bed alongside her, wrapping his arms around her as he laid behind the mongoose girl who sorely needed a friend like Jordan right now. He rubbed her shoulders, just trying to calm her. She was more of a mess than he was it seemed and his problems could be shared later. “I’m here for you, Lauren..” he whispered gently, resting his head near hers “ ..you’re my best friend.. I mean that.. and if it means any consolation at all, you’ve helped me through this more than anyone.. even now.. just having someone here when I’m so frightened and scared of what’s happening to me.. what’s going to happen to me..” he trailed off at that last part, rubbing her cheek with his fluffy cheek.

Lauren was too tired and too emotionally drained to feel akward at the situation. She was starting to feel numb and tired over everything. "Thank you..." She told Jordan, "I'm a ******** up little girl. I don't know why I thought I could keep it going. And sadly enough I think your pretty much my only friend now. You and Awen..." More tears came down her cheek as coherency drifted back to her brain, "What? Why would something happen to you? What the ******** did you do? Someone broke into YOUR duplex not the other way around." She managed to get out in a soft and drained voice.

“That’s probably why I like you so much. You’re not anything like the others.” He tried to reassure her positively with kind words of truth, wiping a tear from her cheek with his fluffy paw that was soft to the touch “I’m always going to be your friend, Lauren.”
At the second part, he lowered his head in shame. He whimpered softly. “The past few days have been really tough on me.. I haven’t eaten in days because I’m a horrible person.. I yelled at Doctor Moreau after I had to give myself my injections this time.. and made him mad- again..” he bit his lip and cringed against her, suddenly holding her much tighter as if that wasn’t bad enough “My rabbit is missing... and.. he’s going to kill me when he finds out the labtop he gave me was stolen..” Jordan buried his head under her arm, like a dog frightened of being severely punished. He elevated his injured paw in the bloody bandaging on a pile of shredded cloth and fluff to keep it from throbbing. “I’m sorry I made him mad again.. I didn’t mean to.. I just wanted to be a good boy..” his voice wavered with increasing whimpering.

Lauren rolled over and looked him in the eye, "Don't be such a douchebag, he'll understand if you explain it to him. I can make sure of that." Lauren believed herself to have more power than she did in the case of Moreau. "What injections? Your changes?" She wasn't sure what to think of that, if anything. Lauren had always looked foreward to the injections but thought Jordan felt the same way about them, "Did you not want to change?" She asked in confusion.

Jordan huffed a soft sigh. “I was scared to do it myself.. I.. I know I need the injections.. and I know need to change or I’ll get sick.. and that’s why I was afraid.. I don’t want to get sick or die.. and I was afraid it would hurt as much as the first time, but it didn't hurt as much.. ” he pulled back his fur on his arm where the red welts were still evident where he’d stabbed himself. “But, what really scares me is these things coming out of my stomach.. did I wait too long to take the injections? I hope nothing’s wrong with me..”

Lauren looked puzzled at him. "I've never done mine myself. I don't see why you have to." She expected he would be shown the same courtesy being pro labs. Why was he being treated poorly? It didn't make sense and HAD to be someone else's doing. She was growing sleepier and was starting to drift in and out. But she still had heard his last worries, "I.. don't know... I've seen an old man with those things... maybe you're getting.. old?" She laughed a bit behind her tears. It was a bittersweet still hurt and numb laugh but a laugh no less. "But yeah... maybe you'll seperate and be two Jordan's... ask them?" She obviously wasn't worried as she fell back into sleep.

He giggled nervously as she commented he was getting old and laid his head on her stomach as he felt himself more at ease in her company, more secure and less afraid. "I'm only twenty-five, but if I split into two does that mean I'll be twelve again?" he joked back at her, but he really did wonder what was going on with him. “Then I can be twin Samoyeds.” He chuckled as she drifted off and Jordan yawned himself. A lack of food, plus stress had drained him of his energy as he too drifted off, his head nestled comfortably on her fuzzy tummy as a pillow, paws rested on either side of his head like a big lapdog.

Lauren woke up feeling like she was next to Nita, for a second she smiled believing it all had been a bad dream, "Nita, I had the most horrible drea..." She cut herself off when she found that the person laying on her belly was not Nita at all, but Jordan. "Holy s**t what in the he..." In her drowsiness Lauren was having a hard time remembering what had happened last night. Plus, she wasn't exactly sain when she tore into Jordan's bed. It was all a blur in her memory, as if she were drunk but she knew she wasn't.

Jordan's ears twitched as they responded to Lauren's voice. He rolled his head to the side on her tummy and stretched out, as the Samoyed yawned. His eyes fluttered open as he felt like he'd had a very comfortable sleep on a very fuzzy pillow. He squinted as he tried to see. Jordan's cold, wet nose wriggled as he snuffled and smelled Lauren. Tilting his head to the side, he looked at the surprised mongoose and rubbed his face with a paw. "Hunh..?" He blinked, glancing at his shredded bed as he sat up. "Oh.. good..morning..?" he smiled meekly, trying to play it off. He'd used his best friend as a pillow afterall.

Things were comming back to her all of a sudden and Lauren's face was starting to show it. "I think it's night..." She corrected him with a sigh. "God damnit, that little red headed c**t...." She mumered to herself. She wasn't histerical but she still felt like a total piece of s**t.
"I'm sorry about your bed... I kind of blacked out and went crazy." Lauren sighed. "I've been known to do that from time to time when things get really bad."

He really wasn't upset about the bed at all. He just shrugged it off and scooted close to Lauren, hugging his arms around her shoulders and laying his head on her shoulder as well. "Don't worry about it, Lauren.." he mentioned softly "I'm actually more comfortable sleeping on my bathroom tile now anyways.." it was much more cooler against so much fur, even with the temperature turned down the bed had kept him so hot at night.
"You gonna be alright, Lauren..?" he tilted his head to guage her expression "I'm here for what it's worth."

"For a second, I thought it was a bad dream..." She said. "But nope, it's not. Geuss I got to get my stuff sometime, but she told me not to come back." She found herself petting Jordan's hair as if he were Comet, "I was so angry Comet would rather stay with her than me. Geuss I don't really deserve anything out of life."
Lauren shook her head remembering some of the things that Jordan had said last night, "You NEED to eat something and get your act together if we are going to find that laptop." She commanded. Maybe she could block it out of her mind somehow, but it was so hard to do. Right now she never wanted to get up again and just wanted to close her eyes and sleep forever.
But at the same time she wanted to do something and to never sleep so she could be sure not to dream of being with Nita.

His tail wagged as she stroked his hair. It felt good. It made him think of how Doctor Moreau had petted him on his head before his last change. "I don't mind helping you get your things back. If you want, you can store them here." he rubbed his cheek against her shoulder, closing his eyes for a few moments, before adding "Do you have a place to stay..?" it made him so sad that she'd been displaced from her home and he may not get to see Comet again..
The reminder of food made his stomach growl angrily. Sleep had quelled his stomach but now that he was awake again and his stomach was less than happy. Jordan nodded at her insistence, not willing to argue it. “Okay.”
Jordan started snuffling at the air. Something… familiar… nearby. He curiously moved away from Lauren, crawling across the shredded bed. She’d be able to see the bloodied bandage that needed to be changed now, on his right hindpaw, as he moved towards the closet. He stayed on all fours as he dropped onto the floor, keeping his nose to the carpet. His black nose twitched and inhaled and he bumped into the case the computer had been in. There was the faint scent of someone he’d met before. And then it clicked. He turned his head around in stark realization, surprise on his face “Thom…!” he said back to Lauren. “The cobra that attacked me..” he pointed to the wound that she herself had cleaned with her tongue and then bandaged.

Lauren stretched out and put her paw through her hair, knowing well enough that she probably had an extreme case of bed head. The hair on her head was thin and short however, so it was easy to keep it in check. " I think I still have my old duplex, last I checked. I havn't been there since I moved out. But you would think they would keep it open for me, I painted the walls and everything."
Lauren found the picnic basket as some bile came up her throat remembering the fight. "Here, have the rest of this for now." She said. For once in her life, she wasn't hungry.
Lauren gave him a look of concern, "the cobra?" She asked. "s**t..." Now she was smelling the snake everywhere and her tail puffed out. Lauren tensed all over. She needed to protect Jordan from this threat, or the mongoose did anyway. "Well that's sort of good news. We can find him and steal it back!" or at least Lauren was hopeing that was the case.
