Can't get it out of my mind at the moment

She took a deep breath before continuing

“I’m scared Clare” she said softly.

“W-Why?” I said sitting on the bed beside her a little nervous.

“I-I don’t want my parents to slit.” She said continued softly, running her hand through her hair.

”Why would your parents separate? They love each other.” I asked a little confused.

Shan looked at me, her eyes brimmed with tears but she quickly looked away.

“They’ve been fighting a lot and-“she paused and looked at her hands.

“I feel like they don’t love each other.” She continued her voice wavering a little.

“or t-t-that it’s me…” she sniffed and a tear rolled down her face.

All I could feel was pity and sorrow. I engulfed her in a warm embrace.

Tears continued to trickle down her face.

She leaned into me and rested her head on my shoulder.

“P-please don’t l-leave me.” She pleaded, her voice a little strained.

“Shhh, Shhh. Don’t cry Shan. Don’t cry.” I whispered, trying to sooth her.

I thanked God I didn’t say what I had thought.

I won’t ever leave you Shan!

We stayed in that position until my mom knocked on the door.

“

I slowly got up to open the door. Shan started sniffing, I guess to try and calm down.

“Yes mom” I said opening the door, my voice sounding a bit tired.

“Is everything okay sweetheart?” my mom asked, her voice laced with concern, “I heard a sound like someone was crying.” She said.

No kidding I thought. 

She must have spotted Shan’s tear stained face because she asked to come in.

“Uhm, sure” I said opening the door further.

 “Are you okay hon?” she asked making her way towards the bed.

“Yeah, I guess” Shan said a little shaky.

“Are you sure?” mom pushed.

“For now I guess.” Shan admitted

I felt a stab of guilt stab me when she said ‘for now’, knowing I might not be there when she really began to hurt.

I tried to reassure myself that if anything happened mom or our friend would be able to comfort her in my absence, and if things go bad I could skype her

right?

“Clare did you hear me?” my mom asked, again snapping me out of my thoughts.

“Uhh?” I asked confused.

 Mom chuckled.

“I said I’ll leave you two so you can pack.” She repeated.

“Okay.” I said picking up the both the yellow blouse and the plaid skirt and throwing it into the suitcase.

“Have fun” mom said getting up and exiting the room.

Did she really just say that? Couldn't she see Shan was in pain and in no mood for 'fun'?

I quickly discarded my thoughts and turned back to the matter at hand

 A soft click was heard before Shan turned to me.

“You have a great mom you know.” she said earnestly.

 I smiled lightly at her.

“I know.”
