Stone Circle wake up alone

She stepped back from his grip for a moment, gently eyeing him before looking down at her own paws and falling back into his embrace. It was unlike Belle to be so open, so vulnerable, but she felt that she had no other option. He asked her to explain further, but she wasn't sure if she knew how. I mean..., she began, I'm talking about my presence. It just seems that wherever I go, I bring nothing but anger and angst and, I don't know; I'm just not good for others. It was part of why she liked to spend her time alone. There was a part of her, hidden beneath the rough and cold exterior, that was afraid of what she could do. Part of Belle was still a child, afraid to take each step forward.
I already said that you don't have to be here, let alone help me get dry again but...well, I guess my question is why haven't you left yet? I know that no one here is keen on spending time with me, especially not you. So why do you care? It wasn't meant to sound as cold as it did, for Belle was nothing more than a broken woman with her mind boggled in the mystery of life. She just wanted to be reassured that she was doing okay.
