Snippet #1695470

Leila sat up with a harsh gasp for air... and met forehead to ceiling. For a slight moment she groaned under the feeling of sharp pain then her hazy mind cleared. Damn woman wont leave me alone... her mind grumbled. She sighed and brushed away semi dry tears from her face. It had become a ritual of sorts, to wake up like this. So she wasnt suprised when her eyes felt slightly puffy and her cheeks mostly wet. She rubbed at her irritated eyes and shaked away the nightmares straggling effects.

After getting her mind back to order and her ears back in check she heard a noise; of he tearful sort. She peeked over the edge of her bunk bed and noticed Cass huddled in a corner, Naomi comforting her and Andrea looking at them in a questioning manner. She slithered down and met the cold floor with her warm feet. The contrast sent a small shock to her system but she moved forward silently. She hunkered down next to Andrea and in front of Naomi and Cass.

Tilting her head to the side she studied Cass for a moment before leaning forward and raising her head up softly with her hands. She semi-smiled at the crying teenager then leaned forward and kissed each of her eyes. This was all done unconciously, of course. Leila, as a child, often cried alot and her mother would do the same thing. She picked it up and does it every time she see's a person cry. She leaned her forehead against Cass's and softly rubbed her cascading tears away.

"There now. It's alright, Cass. Everything is fine. I'm here for you, you hear me? Cry unil you feel you cant cry anymore but know that we're here." she said in a soft and soothing tone. "There's no shame in crying. Let it all out." A small part of her mind told her to shut up and keep out of it. Lest she say something stupid like yesterday but she really couldnt help it. Leila could never NOT do anything when a person cried in such a sad way. You could call her nosy all you want but she really did care.
