people cry when they’re sad.
is he sad? ]
Her inner thoughts rush around her brain, her eyes screaming for help. She’s scared, scared that she’s hurt him, she hurts everyone. she’s sitting on the floor beside him, her blanket was quickly wrapped around the two of them & her breathing is slowed. Lina doesn’t know what to do, she’s praying to her voices to tell her, but they’re not there, they’re never there for her.
‘ Please…never say you’re sorry…you don’t have to apologise. ‘
Her voice is a cautious whisper, and she knows it’s not enough, but she’s trying, with all her might. Lina’s lost, until, her mind finds a grasp upon an idea. She turns & wraps her arms around him, gently encasing him in a tight embrace, she places her head on his shoulder, granting her the ability to whisper into his ear.
‘ I know you can hear them, Josh, you have to ignore them. You have to keep going, you have to breathe. Life happens for a reason, your inner demons cannot hold you back, I’m here for you. ‘
