“Renée what’s wrong?” Sheryl asked as he embraced her friend.
“I’ll be okay” Renée said as she cried into Sheryl’s shoulder.
“What has upset you” Sheryl asked.
“I’d rather not talk about it” Renée sobbed knowing she could not tell Sheryl the real reason why she was crying. She couldn’t tell her that she was crying because her father had shouted at her for losing tapes that showed her killing Sandra. She couldn’t tell Sheryl that she had killed her friend; the one person she trusted; the person that had protected her apart from her parents since she was young. She couldn’t tell Sheryl that the person who had made her cry was the same person who had tried to kill her. She couldn’t tell her that she was a phony; that the main reason she was here was to get the formula away from her.
She couldn’t tell Sheryl that she felt awful; that she wanted all this to stop. That she wished she hadn’t gotten involved in this whole thing in the first place. She couldn’t tell her that she wished she had stood up to her father and said ‘no’ when he had told her to do him this favor. She couldn’t tell Sheryl that she was afraid that she was becoming more and more like her father everyday; cruel and selfish.
“Whatever it is; I’m sure it will all be okay” Sheryl comforted her.
“It’s never going to be okay” Renée sobbed.
“Yes it is; things are never as bad as they seem and in time you will see that” Sheryl said in a soft tone.
“I’m a bad person” Renée whispered.
