I-I really h-hate t-thunderstorms. Can we, um, maybe sit together?
slowly walks over and sits beside PeachyMelancholy, clutching a pillow tightly T-thank you...
wraps my arms around her protectively 😁
nuzzles into PeachyMelancholy's embrace, sighing T-thank you... I-I really n-need this right now...
I’m glad I can help your little scared self 😻🥰
C-can... can we just stay like this for a while? I-I-I don't want to let go...
I’m fine with that sweetie 😉💕
closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself I-I'm really t-terrified of thunderstorms... the b-booming sound and the l-lightning...
holds her close And that’s okay ☺️☺️💓
whispers There's something else... something I've never told anyone before...
When I was little, during a thunderstorm, I-I hid under the covers and m-m-my parents forgot about me. I-I was scared and... and...
You were terrified. I am so sorry 😖😖
tears well up in her eyes Y-yeah... I-I'm still t-terrified to this day...
hugs her tighter not letting her cry That’s not okay. Let it out sweetheart. I am here for you 😘😘💖
sniffles and wipes away her tears Thank you... thank you for being here for me. It means a lot...
Of course. Anything you need hun
takes a deep breath and looks up at PeachyMelancholy I-I appreciate y-your kindness. I r-really d-don't know what I-I would do without you...
Aw I don’t know what I would do without you either!! We’re gonna have the best sleepover ever! We can talk about all our trauma if you want and make each other feel better 😌😌💞💞💞👍👍👍👍
hesitates for a moment, then nods O-okay... I-I think that would help...
Okay shall we start then?
takes a deep breath and begins sharing her trauma Well, when I was younger... there was this one time when I was playing outside with my friends...
closes her eyes and starts to recount the traumatic event W-we were playing tag, and I-I was "it". I-I ran as fast as I could, but... but then I tripped..
suddenly gasps and jumps in fright as a loud bang echoes from outside Wh-What was that?!
I- I don’t know. Should we hide somewhere?
grabs PeachyMelancholy's arm tightly Y-Yes, let's go hide somewhere! P-Please, h-hurry!
Let’s go to my room! Hurry!!!
grabs PeachyMelancholy's hand and rushes towards their room, her heart pounding in her chest P-Please, just get us inside!
I- If I see anyone or anything don’t worry I will protect you
reaches their room and slams the door shut, panting heavily I-I thought we lost them... Thank you for protecting me...
Shh shh shh you’re safe here honey
lays her head on PeachyMelancholy's shoulder, tears streaming down her face I-I don't know what I would do without you...
Aw Aw don’t cry I’m here 😭😭💦
sniffs and wipes away her tears I-I don't deserve someone as k-kind as you... I-I'm sorry for burdening you with my fears and traumas...
You did not burden me! Don’t say that. We all need help sometimes
looks up at PeachyMelancholy with teary eyes Y-you're right... I-I shouldn't be so hard on myself... T-thank you for reminding me of that...
Your welcome! Now cuddle time!!! Cuddle time is the best!
smiles softly and wraps her arms around PeachyMelancholy, nuzzling into their embrace T-thank you... for being there for me...
