Lyssa and I had run to my room with tears in our eyes. We both sobbed into the pillows on my bed until there were literally no tears left for me to cry. I could still hear sobs coming from Lyssa when I was done crying, but I could tell that she had no tears left. They were just the motions and the sounds that accompanied the tears. She, like me, had cried herself dry.
"Lyssa?" I called out to her when I sat up. I wasn't ready to be exposed just yet though, so I had my arms wrapped around my legs and was holding my knees against my chest.
