Emerson
She stood up and hugged me gently, I returned her action, "did you really fight my dad?" She asked and I nodded not letting go of her.
"Are you okay?" She asked, "that doesn't matter, what matters is that you're safe" I said.
She shifted in our hug slightly but didn't let go, instead she placed her head on my chest.
I held her close to me, resting my head on top of hers, we stood like that for a while before I heard her sniff, "Hazel?" I said pulling away slightly, tilting her chin up.
My heart broke as I saw the tears flowing gently down her face, "Hazel what's wrong?" I said frantically.
"Emerson I was really worried about you, Larisa told me about how upset you were and m-my dad could have hurt y-you, a-and I-" she started but I cut her off pulling her back into a hug.
"Hazel, I was upset because I was just as worried about you as you were about me, I'm not hurt, okay? And your dad is going to jail for a long time so I promise you will be safe " I said and she cried into my shirt as I comforted her.
