Anna let her cry. Sometimes that’s just what someone needed to do. To say Elyse had a rough week would be an understatement. It wasn’t a situation Anna could even comprehend. Anna and her parents may have their own issues, but neither one of them would ever try to murder her. When her crying came to an end, Anna held on still. She would hold on until Elyse let go.
”Its okay to feel that way. A lot has happened to you. It’s going to take awhile for you to process this, I think,” she backed off a bit, still holding on to Elyse, but loving so she could look her friend in the eyes. ”May I offer some advice?” Elyse nodded and Anna continued. ”Dont be so hard on yourself because you’re confused and don’t know what to feel yet. I don’t think it’s possible for you not to be at this point. Recognize that this is gonna take time for your to sort out. Allow yourself to be upset. These feelings are all valid,” Anna gave her an encouraging smile. ”Remember you’re strong, and if you forget, let me know and I’ll pound it back into your head again.”
