    Summary

    Neil jerked awake and reached under his pillow for a gun that wasn’t there. Instead, he met Andrew’s hand, and that slipped away from his fingers in an instant.
    The door was open. A soft light flooded in from the hallway, and someone padded over to the bed. Neil was alert at once, but when he blinked to adjust to the new lighting, and found that it wasn’t a stranger come to attack him in the night, he relaxed, even if only a little. It was Renee, and she was making for Andrew, who was already awake and sitting up. Neil followed suit and listened as Renee said, quietly, “Can I have the car key? Jean’s in trouble, I have to go get him.”
    Neil’s heart thumped loud in his ears as he watched Andrew flick his fingers to the key where it sat on the bedside table and lay back down. He watched Renee thank Andrew and grab the key. Before she turned to leave the room, Neil found his voice. “Renee,” he said. She looked over at him, curious he’d spoken up. “Get Eloise, too. Riko will kill her if she’s the only one left.” Renee hesitated a moment, and then nodded.
    And then she was gone.

    Ms. Gina turns the car around a corner, putting on the blinker and leaning to both sides to look around her seat first. “I know these past few days have been pretty scary for you.” Ms. Gina says a lot, he thinks. And most of the time she doesn’t really make sure that it’s all true.

    Summary

    Jeremy knew that Jean would have good and bad days, everyone had them. This was a very shitty day, and he really wished he could make it better. Jean was making it hard to make it better. But Jeremy would keep trying.

    --

    Hi it's me I wrote a fanfic. For over a week. It got long. I've been totally obsessing over AFTG again since the realese of the sunshine court, and it birthed this alternate POV of the whole end of the book from Jeremy's POV. The last 15% of the book are just one shitty day in the life of Jean-Yves Moreau. He desperately needs more hugs. Jeremy would love to give them, but Jean is skittish. They will work on it.

    (this is actually relatively fluffy aside from the canon-typical stuff from aftg.)
