Helanie:
"I cannot believe you were going through so much, and I was giving you more stress. I was such a bad friend." Lucy had been crying ever since I woke up and came to meet me. She told me she had heard about everything I had been through. Honestly, I didn't even blame her. It wasn't her fault, she had her own struggles.
"Lucy, don't say that. It makes me feel even worse." I swallowed my tear.
She raised her head and frowned. "Why would you feel bad? You did nothing wrong."
"That's because you're too nice to let me know that I'm a terrible friend," I mumbled, and she shook her head.
"No Helanie, you had your own baggage. I used to be so jealous of you, thinking you were getting all the attention while I was miserable. It makes me feel like I was so full of myself. I needed a fall to wake me up." The way she said it in her cute little tone reminded me of the Lucy I had met in the beginning, and I suddenly started crying while smiling.
