"Mhh... I hope you didn't wake me up from my nap for nothing", I mumble, "Are you ok? Calls are not very usually between us, so I suddenly feel a bit worried.

I'm suddenly so relieved. I'm trying so hard to keep it together but everything feels like it's falling apart.

« Jay ? » My voice cracks. I'm trying to hide it, but I'm so scared. « I'm sorry to bother you, I didn't know who else to call ... »

I can feel the tears streaming down my cheeks.

I sit on my couch, still sleepy. I swear I don't do well with naps, I don't know why I still bother trying. "Ok, now I'm worried", I say. "What's going on Liz..?" I know things are complicated right now but I still think of the worse when she calls like that.

When facing, the things we turn away from.

There's something comforting about hearing her voice. It's hard to explain. I know I'm strong when I need to be but Jaycee always felt so fearless, as if nothing could stop her. I always admired that about her. She inspires me to be as brave as she is. « I'm so lost and confused, I finally reply. I try to hold back my tears. They still stream down my cheeks. I don't know what to do ... »

Hearing her cry literally breaks my heart. The worst part is that I don't know what I can do to help: I can only be the one answering the phone when she calls, the one listening to her when she needs to talk, a shoulder she can cry on. "Pros and cons", I tell her with a determined tone. "When I'm torn appart, when I don't know what to do, I make a list of the pros and the cons. Do you want to make one with me?" If it can help her calm down and think more clearly.

Salty sweet tears trickle down like streams.
Her suggestion shines like a beacon of hope, brighter than the shroud of darkness that blinds me.
When you know, you know.

Pros and cons.
I feel foolish for a moment. The answer seems so obvious that I'm genuinely surprised I didn't think about it myself. Of course, I should have made a pros and cons list. What was I thinking?

« Yeah ..., I whisper. I'd like that a lot, actually ... »

Thank heaven for Jay. She always seems to know what to say.
