Blackbird Fly Away

I talked to Leah, Laura's best friend. They hang out all the time, and tell each other everything.

I sent a text to Leah later that night and told her what I'd done. She said Laura hadn't said anything to her about it. She said Laura had been really scared of the whole situation. She said it was a very big step for Laura to even speak to me. She said I'd done the right thing by apologizing.

I told her I just wanted Laura to be herself again. To be happy again.

Leah said she was.
I'm not sure I believe that.

She's seemed so different since all this happened, but maybe it's only because I pay more attention to her now.

I told Leah the truth. Told her that I would do anything if it would cause Laura to be even slightly more comfortable with the situation.

Laura hasn't said anything to me. She hasn't done anything from her usual.

I just need her to be happy. To be herself.
Because I really would do anything...
