I can’t catch my breath.

My knees are tucked into my chest.

A brown bear dressed as a hufflepuff is crushed between my chest and legs.

He’s overworked.

His head is wet.

My face is wet. 

I sit in silence.

The silence being broken only sometimes by my sobs.

I don’t want anyone to hear.

I want everyone to hear.

I want to call my friends and scream their names.

I want to erase this moment from my life.

I want them to reach out their hands and help.

I want them to rush to my rescue.

I won’t give them the option.

The only one to see me will be my little hufflepuff.

I know they’d help if I asked. 

I know they’d make me feel better,

If I asked.

So why won’t I ask?
