Charlie's eyes had skipped across each face sitting around the fire. This whole sit around the fire and share your feelings thing was getting old real quick. How many more times would she have to relive everything that she had been through? Seriously it was bad enough when she lived it now she was reliving it more than she ever cared for.
Yet, watching everyone around the circle talk about empathy had her brows furrowing together. She felt all that anger surging, but part of her felt angry too. Empathy was great and all but most of the time people just gave sympathy or pity. She was over the pity glances from the adults. More than anything she was tired of the empathy from the village her parents had been in over the summer. Pity was like those old muggle movies where the woman looks at a young kid and says 'bless your heart' that was so much worse. But how did she say that to everyone around the fire pit?
She couldn't.
No she wouldn't, right?
Ope, here she goes. Just don't say it... "pity is awkward as well as hurtful. Because it's just kind enough to feel sincere but just sharp enough to be harmful. Sometimes without ever knowing that you've been hurt." There was no taking that quiet voice back, so unlike her.
