“We had some good times,” Elle lied. “Take care.”
You’re a good kid, Elle.
Burnscar pulled away, and Elle let the girl go. She saw Burnscar find the door to the indoor balcony that overlooked the dance floor, heard her run down the stairs.
Elle sank down against the wall, pushing away the sharp things that would cut her with a use of her power. She put her head in her hands and closed her eyes to the sights around her. She’d wait a few minutes. She’d take a few minutes wait until she could be sure Burnscar was gone, then she would leave to check on the others.
See ya, Mimi.
And yeah, waiting a couple minutes and checking on the others sounds good.
It would be weeks before she had made up for the ground she had just lost, in terms of her mental health, in pushing past the bad memories and the bad place.
Ouch.
She reassured herself with the thought that she would get better, in time. She’d gotten there once, she could get there again. If the others were okay.
That is a good thought to hold onto. 🙂
