Trishelle: fidgeting with pencil I can't stop replaying the accident in my head. It's like a nightmare on loop.
come here I open my arms for a hug
Surprised but also relieved, Trishelle walks over and throws herself into your arms, tears streaming down her face as she buries her head into your chest. Thank you... I really needed this.
sits next to you and puts his arm around you it’s ok
leans into MagicMountain's comforting embrace, feeling a sense of comfort and understanding Thank you... It's just so hard to accept that they're gone. I keep blaming myself for what happened.
hey trishelle..I’m so sorry about what happened…you know I’m here for you right?
Looks up from sketchbook Trishelle: Thanks, MagicMountain. I really appreciate it. It's just... I feel so guilty. Like I could've prevented it somehow. It's like a constant weight on my chest.
I hug her tightly it’s gonna be okay
leans into the embrace, tears streaming down her face Trishelle: I just can't shake this feeling of guilt. If I hadn't pressured them to drive so fast... if I had just said no, maybe they'd still be here.
looks up from sketchbook Huh? Oh, hey... closes journal and stands up, walking over to you What's up?
come here I open my arms for her
She looks up at you with tearful eyes and hesitates for a moment before rushing into your open arms. She clings to you, burying her face in your chest as she sobs quietly.
i hug u hey its ok ur safe now
I lean into your embrace, tears staining my cheeks
Thanks for being here, it means a lot.
I take a shaky breath, trying to calm myself down
cuddles u it’s ok.. we r here together now
leans into your embrace, tears still falling I just wish I could've done something to prevent it. I keep thinking that if I had just...I don't know...maybe taken a different route or been more careful, maybe they'd still be here.
do you think it’s because you feel guilty?
nods Yeah... I feel like I could've prevented it somehow. If I had been driving, if I had said something different, if I had just done anything differently, maybe they'd still be here.
I know how it feels to lose loved ones
looks up from sketchbook You do? What happened?
“What if..” I say hesitantly “what if they weren’t in the car?”
Trishelle pauses her drawing and looks up at you What do you mean? That's a stupid question. You know they were in the car. They're gone because of me.
Hey.. it's okay.. i put my hand on ur thigh
blushes at the touch Trishelle: Thanks for being here. I don't know what I'd do without you. she turns to look at you, her eyes still glossy with tears
I sit down next to her it’s okay, you weren’t driving. it’s not your fault…
Trishelle looks up from her journal, tears streaming down her face But I should have been there. I should've been the one behind the wheel. Then maybe they'd still be here. She clenches her journal, feeling the weight of guilt and sadness
That sounds very distressing… Have you been able to get any sleep since then?
sighs Not much. The nightmares keep me up most nights. I feel so guilty, like I should have done something to prevent it. But I can't shake the feeling that I could have prevented it somehow.
Hey Trishelle it’s been a while since we’ve seen each other
looks up from sketchbook Oh hey, MagicMountain! Yeah, it has been a while. How have you been?
“I’m sorry” hugs you tightly and kisses your forehead
relaxes into the hug, feeling comforted by your presence Thank you. I appreciate your support. It's been really tough lately. closes her journal and sets it aside
