Elyse sobbed, but heard what Sierra had said. The guilt told her Sierra was lying. It was so loud and it hurt so bad. Suddenly the area felt warm and cozy, and she heard the crackling of a fire. The sobs began to recede into normal crying. Elyse looked up and stared at the flames.
Sierra was still there, ”If I wouldn’t have told her, she’d still be alive. She’s dead because of me…” she cried. ”The guilt…it’s so strong. It twists everything….It hurts so bad.”
Elyse pulled her knees into her chest. ”I feel like I’m drowning. Just getting these breaths occasionally and then I’m sucked back in.” she looked up at Sierra. ”what happens when I can’t get that breath again?”
