Her body was shaking. Trembling. Quivering.
For a moment, she felt as though she was floating. Because this wasn't who she was. And then she struggled to remember who she truly was. Forgetting herself. Forgetting who she was before Thom. Now she had to find who she was going to be after Thom.
She didn't want to be this girl.
The girl who punches cafe doors because they're locked at 3AM. The girl who is so paranoid her boyfriend-ex-boyfriend-is going to follow her and kidnap her. The girl who sits on the curb in front of the cafe, hugging her body because suddenly she feels frozen. Not even caring that there's a group of people watching her, who had watched her in her moment of mania and laughed.
Jude felt a single tear fall down her cheek. This tear was not angry, like the others had been. It was sad. Sorrow. Sympathy. For herself.
She kept her arms wrapped around her knees, and her knees against her chest. Anything to make herself feel safe in her own skin, that now felt incredibly foreign.
