Calm after the storm - Felipe - open tag

[Fallon Cotton]

Fal listened as Felipe talked. For sme reason just listening helped. And then when he admitted to shaking inside she found that comforting. Of course that made her feel guilty. She should not want him to be as scared as she was. "I think we have all been through a lot no matter who was where and who saw what. We all experienced something that was traumatizing." She said as she finished her tea.

"That was just what I needed thanks." Fal just held his hand. Fal definatly felt she had a friend in Felipe. He was nice and sweet and that was good. Fal needed friends. Especially now. "Must have been hard where you lived...." She felt for him. To leave one violent place for another. "I would like to hear that story, about the ladle." Fal could imagine the story, but right now was not the time.

"Yeah...we are close." Fal smiled a small smile as she talked about her siblings, "We are all different but similar. Thad likes make up and he can be a little crazy. Si...she is something...she likes to wear fangs...like a vampire." Fal gave a little laugh. My siblings are all I have...my mom and I have not been getting along. Or rather its more like my moms partner and I do not get along, so its nice to have siblings once can be close to." Fal told Felipe, "What about you...any brothers...sisters?"
Fal was finally calming down. Sure, she neede dher brother, but Felipe was doing a damn good job.

He told Fallon all about his brothers, Ricardo and Victor, and his sister, Ana Izabel, maintaining his gentle hold on her hand the entire time. "We are also very close but my brothers being older are working and so I am a little closer to my sister. I admit I am scared at the thought of her walking alone and more so now I know the battle is basically between Hispanic and Asian people." He frowned slightly as he spoke. On one hand he knew Ana was over-protected and yet suddenly that seemed more appropriate than ever. His parents, too, would be more cautious with all of their children. So much for leaving the threat of violence behind.... as it now seemed it had followed them here.

The series of events today were sure to make friends of many people who otherwise wouldn't have even known the other existed. As with anything, there was a balance in life. A balance in this case of sorrow against joy. Yes, the violence today had been terrifyingly upsetting but eventually time would heal and they would each emerge stronger than before. Not only that but the friendships forged on this dreadful day would last far longer than the pain that had been caused.

At least, he prayed that to be so.
