We're back, we're safe.

This is not something I want to make a habbit of, but I'm just so glad Piper is okay. I mean, she's not totally okay, she's pretty wiped out. I'm trying to convince Mom that stuffing her full of food probably won't make her feel any better. Thankfully, Dad had a stash of senzu beans, and we've given her two.

I'm not totally clear on what

I-I really don't know what to say. Thank you so much for being there and I'm so sorry that things happened this way. I don't feel very deserving of your thanks at all, but I'm grateful that you feel that way about me, and I'm more grateful for your friendship than you'll ever know.

Piper, I think you know by now how I feel about you. I don't think I was saying anything new. And you don't know how scard I was when I got your message. I'm just... gosh, I know I've said it over and over again, but one more time won't hurt. I'm just so glad you're alive and you weren't badly hurt. And I'm glad that my parents want you to stay with us until you're back on your feet.

But, I think we have some serious talking to do soon. I know today was hard with the mall and all, but we'll make time tomorrow. I'll need to take a break from studying.

I'm so sorry for scaring you like that. I was trying to keep a handle on myself the best I could so you wouldn't have to be worried so much, and I should've been able to 'cause I've only drilled situations like that a million zillion times before, but it was just so... I don't know. There aren't words to describe what happened. I just know I've messed up in so many ways the past few days and while I can't go back and change any of the things that went wrong, I'm relieved that things didn't turn out worse than they did, as they very well could've. And last night, you were a huge part of that.

I agree that there's quite a bit of talking we need to do. Whenever you've got the time, I'm around, though I don't know how much of a "break" this is going to constitute. :/

I know you didn't mean to scare me. And you might think you messed up, but you did the best you could given the circumstances. You're too hard on yourself.

You know I'm always here if you need to talk.
