I'm vaguely aware of someone coming into the bathroom, but I don't look up ... too embarrassed. I feel hand on my back and nearly jump out out of my skin.<br/><br/>"NO! DON'T TOUCH Mm ... Oh ... Hi Jaclyn. Sorry, I didn't know it was ... Sorry." I say, trying to calm back down, as my heart is trying to thump it's way out of my chest.<br/><br/>I return to the position I was in and take a *deep breath* as her hand makes gentle, soothing circles on my back.<br/><br/>"I'm just a mess Jaclyn. I try ... I keep trying to function, but I ... I just can't. I do fine for a little while but then ... the littlest things get to me."<br/><br/>*sniffle* "Dammit, I just fixed makeup..." *deep breath*<br/><br/>"It's like ... when you said, 'stay close to my friends.' Great advice. But who are my friends? I mean really. Who here knows much of anything about me? You probably know the most, but do you really know that much? And what exactly would I even talk about? The only things I remember about you ... start somewhere around Mackenzie's party. That's not exactly something we wanna be talking about."<br/><br/>*sniffle* "You get what I'm saying? How can I even have a normal conversation ... with<strong><em>anyone</em></strong>when I literally have nothing I can talk about? I'm in Hell, Jaclyn. No one escapes Hell. The only peace I ever feel is when I'm with Steffy, and I hate putting all of this on her."
