Rachel hadn’t been doing very well. She told everyone things were getting better, but the truth was she wasn’t. She was certain that others didn’t believe her on that. The truth was she wasn’t still afraid all the time. It didn’t matter what - she always felt it there, and she felt like giving up trying to get better. She wasn’t going to.
The family had breakfast together this morning. It was a tradition and Rachel had decided to go. That would at least help them think she was doing better. Emily had gotten a call though and had to leave due to a work emergency. Mara headed off to be with a friend. That left Rachel with Jared. She didn’t mind that. She adored Jared.
Emily had taken the car to do with whatever was happening at the company, so Jared and Rachel were left to take a cab home. After Jared paid the check, he ordered a cab.
”Can we go see Elyse?” she asked, her voice quiet.
”Of course we can. You want to send her a message and let her know we’re coming?”
Rachel nodded and sent it. Jared had smiled at her wanting to see Elyse. They saw her as wanting to go out as a good sign. In a way it was. She truthfully did want to see Elyse. The pair got in a the cab. Rachel’s wallet remained silent, and that worried her. What if something had happened to Elyse?
Rachel looked out the window as the city passed by and then looked down. She was wearing jeans. She had quit wearing dresses and skirts because of the mess with Lucio. He had always wanted her to wear them. She now knew why. She’d always liked wearing them, and now they were just a reminder of how she had ruined everything. How her stupidity had ruined everything.
She began to cry then, and she felt Jared’s arm on her shoulder. She touched his hand in silent thanks. She got her tears under control as they arrived at the building.
”You okay? You still want to be here, or do you want to go home?”
”Im okay,” she said; a lie - she was never okay. ”I still want to see Elyse.”
They entered the building and a number of people were heading downstairs to the dojo area. Elyse hadn’t responded yet, but it seemed best to follow the crowd. They went downstairs and found Elyse in a fight with Nox. At least she knew why Elyse hadn’t responded.
[color=lightgreen]”Theyre sparring - they aren’t really trying to hurt each other, you know that right,”Jared asked. It was hard to tell if the scared look on her face was real or just how she always felt now.
Rachel nodded and sat down on the floor against the wall to watch.
[[OoC: even though she looks not so great, Rachel will be enjoying and looking interested in what is going on]]
