It's perfectly normal sweetheart, it's nothing to be embarrassed about.

i jump surprised at first but then just start sobbing on his shoulder
he holds you close to him and hugs you tight, stroking your hair and back Hey hey hey.. it's okay sweetheart, tell me what's wrong..
I jump at the sudden door opening. I am wearing my clothes from earlier that day, as if I had been too distraught to change into pajamas. "oh! um..."
gently puts his large hands on your shoulders It's okay sweetheart, I'm not mad... I just want to know if something's wrong... you've been crying for a while now...
I look up at him teary eyed from my makeup smudging
he gently wipes the tears from your eyes with his thumbs, his touch warm and comforting
Aww, sweetheart... what's wrong? You know you can tell me anything.
turns to face you, tears streaming down my face I-I'm scared...
wipes your tears away with his thumb, pulls you into his chest hey... it's okay, it's okay. Why are you scared, sweetheart?
looks at him with red puffy eyes
rubs your shoulder softly and sits down on the closed lid of the toilet seat

I hug him I don’t want to be alive anymore.
he hugs you back and holds you close to him
Hey, hey.. why would you say such things... I know it's hard right now but I don't want to lose you.. please don't say that again...

wraps his arms around you and holds you tight Darling... don't lie to me. You know I can tell when something's bothering you, you know I'll always be here to listen to you no matter what it is, so please... tell me.
I drop my face into my hands as more tears come out I don't want to be here!
walks over to you and lifts your chin up gently Hey hey, calm down... why don't you want to be here, sweetheart?
shakes my head in disbelief I just can’t believe she’s gone. It feels like yesterday we were all together… tears streaming down my face
steps closer to you, puts a hand on your shoulder, speaks softly I know... it hurts a lot right now... but she's no longer in pain, sweetheart... she's in a better place...
tears welling up in her eyes, she wipes them away nothing.. I’m fine..
gently puts his hands on your shoulders, looking at you worried
Sweetheart, you're clearly not fine. Please tell me what's wrong.
still crying I-I’m sorry for making you worry…
he puts his hands on your shoulders Hey, hey... don't apologize sweetheart... just tell me what happened...
