Celeste
I knocked on the door to Lisa’s apartment. It flew open almost immediately.
Lisa stood there her face was a mess. Her eyes were red and puffy, her makeup smeared. She looked nothing like her usual bright.
The second she saw me her face crumpled. A sob broke from her throat and she threw her arms around me hugging me so tight I could barely breathe.
“Oh Celeste,” she cried into my shoulder. Her whole body was shaking.
I hugged her back just as tight, rubbing her back. “It’s okay, Lisa… everything is going to be fine, I’m here, I’m here for you”
She just cried for a long time great heaving sobs. I led her inside and over to the couch. We sat down and she kept holding onto my hand like she was drowning.
My heart clenched, already hating that asshole for putting her in this sit
