Stopped

80

POV SUNSET

Twilight left my apartment like a tornado. Leaving me still and perplexed in the place where I was. Even if I wanted to run after her, I couldn't move, I had completely stopped with the situation. I pressed her too hard, I didn't realize what I was doing, for a change, I ruined one of the few things in life that did me good.

- Sunset? - I heard a familiar voice coming from the door, but to my misfortune, it wasn't Twilight who called me.

The call unlocked my body. The first reaction I had was to release the tears that insisted on accumulating in my eye. The urge to cry was so great that I didn't even remember how to stand up. Luckily for me, there was a sofa next to me, so I didn't kneel on the floor. I threw myself over the cushions and used the back of the sofa to support myself.

I felt someone wrap me up in a hug and caress my back. After accepting the gesture, I realized that it was Pinkie who was taking care of me at that moment, I had barely noticed her presence. I poured everything I felt in salt water, I cried rivers of tears that certainly flooded Pinkie's T-shirt, not that she cared. I spent a good few minutes crying on Pinkie's shoulder until I had nothing else to go out. I got out of her hug and dry my face with the back of my hand.

- Better? - Pinkie asked caressing my back.

- A little - smiles weakly - thank you for staying here with me Pinkie.

- That's what friendships are for - she gave a sincere smile - do you want to talk about what happened?

- I'm not sure what happened - I admitted, running my hand over my forehead - I need to think well about what I'm going to do.

Pinkie just nodded and gave me a comforting smile. I settled better on the couch, sitting down and leaning my hands on my knees, leaving my chin between them. My head hurt from crying so much, at least Twilight wouldn't be the only one with a headache.

- Oh from home - Starlight knocked on the door already open - or would it be "oh of apartment"?

- Good morning Star - I laughed weakly at the comment, she always knew how to improve the mood of the place - where did you go?

- I went to see how Twilight was - he replied - I didn't think it was right to leave her alone, sorry for not staying here with you.

- No need to apologize, I'm glad someone takes care of her - smiles in the corner - how is she?

- A little lighter, I hope - Starlight sighed - she told me that Rarity was going to pick her up.

- She wouldn't go home with that hangover - Pinkie deduced - her parents would probably notice.

- The important thing is that she is fine - I took a deep breath and kept my eyes closed - may I ask why you showed up out of nowhere?

- Oh, we were going to call you and Twilight to go for a walk before Crystal's people have to come back - Pinkie explained - but I don't think you're in the mood, right?

- Yeah, I don't think so - I twisted my lip, downcast - but I can make an effort.

- Sunset, you don't need to force animation if it's not okay - Starlight watched me worried - I can stay here so we can play a little while people leave, then Pinkie picks me up.

Pinkie shook her head, accepting Starlight's suggestion. It was really a good idea to keep playing to relax my mind a little.

- Are you sure you don't want to go with the guys? - I twisted my face - it can be more fun.

- Sunset, I live with those blessed plagues since elementary school - Starlight punched me in the shoulder - an extra time with you is much more valuable.
