Leila burst into tears as soon as they got out of her street. She had never been out of the country and was even more scared to be going without her family. Jacob pulled over on the side of the road. He reached over her and took of the seat belt then lifted her and passed her back to Seth. He knew he couldn't comfort her while he was driving but Seth could. Leila just kept crying while Seth sat her in the seat beside him then did her seat belt up. He put an arm around her and she rested her head on his shoulder. Tears fell down her cheeks and she cried softly, "I'm sorry. I really want to come. I'm just," she sniffs, "I'm just afraid." 

Seth hugged her gently as Jacob started driving again, and whispered in her ear saying comforting words like, "You're okay. Nothing bad will happen. You are so brave and you are safe. We're here with you all the way. We're here. You're going to be okay." 

Leila closed her eyes and she calmed down listening to Seth. He made her feel safe. Just like her brother did. She was always so close with him. She could tell him anything. But then he moved out with his girlfriend and he never came back. A few more tears rolled down her cheeks but Seth gently wiped them away with his hand. She fell asleep after a while. Safe in Seth's arms.
