Melinda May

She looked at me a moment before speaking.

"Hello Rebekah, come in." I walked in with her and she shut the door before leading us to her small living room.

"Feel free to set down, Would you like anything?"

"I'm alright thank you. I'm not going to beat around the bush though. How are you?"

"I don't really know."
"Phil was your best friend you are allowed to feel however it is you might be feeling."

"I don't know how to feel. I don't know if I can anymore."

"I miss him. I went by his office waiting to see him and it took a moment to remember that he is gone."

"You were there when it happened right?"

"In a way yes. I was on my way to him when I passed out."

"What do you mean you passed out?" There was the overprotective May I knew with me.

"When the explosion happened I hit my head and then passed out. I was on my way to find Phil and everything was spinning and then it was dark. When I woke up I was in a med bay and then dad told me Phil was gone."

"They didn't say that you got hurt."

"It was not too bad, no concussion or anything luckily. Just pushed myself too fast."

"I should have been there. I could have helped. I could have helped Phil and you."

"It's not your fault. At first, I kept running all of it through my head over and over trying to figure out what I could have don't differently. If I would have gone to him sooner instead of listening to the others fight. Or if I didn't pass out. Then it was brought to my attention that Phil would have had it no other way. Everything he did was to keep people safe but he would do anything to keep me safe. Just like he would for you. After everything that happened with you, Phil was different and I didn't understand until last night why he became so much more protective over me and why he got so mad when I talked to Thor.

Then I realized that he was trying to keep me safe from anything he did not know or understand yet because what happened with you scared him. Everyone knew Phil loved you and watching you go through everything you did was so hard because it was something he could not fix or make better. I know you have shut people out because you were hurting and all but right now I know you are hurting differently. We both are and I don't know If I can take you shutting me out again right now. Because as amazing as everyone is being and trying to make this all better for me none of them understand the way that you do. The way that you will.

Though if you don't want this then just say so and I will let you greave anyway that you need to and I won't bother you again. I just needed to know."

It was quite a moment before she finally spoke.

"I have not been very good for you if you think for one moment I would not want you around. Rebekah, I have loved you from the time you were a little girl and will love you my whole life. What Phil and I may or may not have had never would change how either of us would ever feel about you in our lives. I feel guilty for not being there because I did push you all away and now I can't get that time back and I don't get to tell him everything I needed to tell him. But I can tell you that nothing that has happened has been your fault at all. Phil would have done anything for you and everyone knows it. If you had been hurt trying to protect him that would have destroyed him. I know I pushed you away and I am sorry I did so because you are a light for a lot of people including me. I want to spend time with you like we use to and I want to be here for you just like you are always there for me."
