Chapter 35: All of these emotions

I opened the door and closed it.

I was barely holding myself together.

I ran up the stairs and slammed my bedroom door.

I flopped onto the bed.

I felt the need to cry and I knew that once I started, I was not going to stop.

I grabbed my pillow and screamed into it.

Then there was a knock on the door.

"Come in", I groaned.

Anika walked in.

She walked over to the side of the bed that I was on.

She hugged me.

I could not hold my emotions back any longer.

She held me like I had, once done to her when she was upset.

She let go of me and then sat on the end of the bed.

" Tell me what happened", She said softly.

I explained briskly what had happened.

When I looked over at her she was fuming with Anger.

" HE SHOULD HAVE ASKED YOU FIRST!!!!", She yelled.

I looked down at the bedding , avoiding her gaze.

I scrubbed my tears away, but they just kept on getting replaced by others.

Then I heard Anika take a few deep breaths to calm herself down.

She hugged me again.

" It's okay, I know how to fix this", she said.

" How?", I asked.

" By having a girls day tomorrow!", She exclaimed.

I smiled, Anika really did make things better.

And I was glad I had a friend like her.

That I could trust whole heartedly.
