Kacela smiled through her tears. She desperately wanted to embrace Lu. But at the same time she didn't want to effect his life by showing him her secret. She hadn't yet gotten her own grief. She was still internally mixed. Kacela hugged Lu tightly. Burying her face face into his shoulder. She felt his broad back and his muscles. She pressed herself close to him and simply cried for a minute. Letting herself let our her pent up emotions. She drained herself of all the hate,fear,sadness. She simply let it flow. She knew that this wasn't something she should do, but Lu seemed willing to accept it and Kacela didn't care. Her body heaved with each sob until she calmed down. Kacela then stepped back sniffled and blew her nose on a napkin again. She didn't know how to face Lu. She showed her weaker side. She was so fragile and sensitive. 

[i]Why am I so stupid? Why did I cry like a kid?[/i]

Kacela thought this inside her head and she looked down at the floor that was wet with her tears. Kacela then looked up and smiled at Lu.

"Thank you. Sorry for making you comfort me...... B-but could i get some time alone? I-I'll see you tomorrow."
 
Kacela then turned and opened the door to her dorm.
