She smiled slightly at him. Bruce was already proving to be an excellent listener and she could feel herself warming to him instantly. "I wouldn't call myself the calm one."
She shook her head at that. "Or really the one that's in control." She wasn't sure who that title belonged to. None of them were very calm or in control, she guessed they all took turns.
"I'm just not like them. When something bad happens I watch the Lifetime Movie Channel and cry and eat ice cream. They get drunk and fight with each other and break things. Not one of them will ever admit how they feel about anything. I just don't understand. I love them, so why should they be so afraid to let me in? I'd never hurt them."
The truth was, they were all too busy hurting each other to really even notice Emily half of the time.
"How do you deal with your friends?" She asked him, finally really noticing him. He was handsome, with kind eyes and she felt herself growing even more comfortable with him despite the fact that they were strangers for all intents and purposes.
