"I'm sorry. We can go somewhere else." he said. He watched as she huddled into a ball. He was not good at comforting girls when they were going to cry.
"No, we can stay here" she said.
"I'll be okay, really I will." Maybe if she told herself that enough she would actually believe it.
"Besides, even if I wanted to go somewhere else I don't think I could get back up right now." Her head was pounding, her body was aching and now her face was all puffy. All she wanted to do was sleep. She leaned over and put her head on Carter's shoulder just like she had done when they were way up on thre fifth floor.
"Carter, thanks for being here for me and for being so understanding. You really are a great friend." She closed her eyes again wondering if she would actually be able to fall asleep sitting there.
