She... they don't think she's going to be okay..."
She was unable to talk any more, her whole skinny frame was trembling. WHY DID IT ALL HAVE TO HAPPEN TO HER?!
Blink.Blink.
Kennedy did not know how to respond. He also didn't know how to deal with crying girls. His green eyes shifted nervously around the room, almost as if trying to find answer as to what to DO.
Okay...
First, comfort right? Right. Wait, but does he pat her back or rub circles like his mom used to do when he was younger? Maybe both? Kennedy began to gently pat and then rub circles on her back. Gah! Was he even doing this right?
He took the letter from her and stared blankly at it. What was this language? He only knew Spanish and English.
O__O
Gosh, Kennedy did not know what to do. He perfectly...kind of, understood what she said. It was horrible and he didn't know what to say. He was a good for nothing just like his...
He didn't want to think about that now. Instead he began to say whatever popped into his head.
"Shh, Aurora...you just have to have faith that she'll be okay." He smoothed her hair back, just like his mom would do to him.
