Me: *glomps* There really isn't anything to do. :/

[Vanessa]

Me: Sorry, I was just freaking out. My dad was the only one home, and he'd told me, and it's not like I could talk to him because he's been so drunk he can barely walk since Sunday. But my mom's family came and they calmed me down.

[Jo]

Me: Oh my god. Van, I am so, so sorry for you and if there were any way I could help you I would. *glomps*

[Vanessa]

Me: No, it's fine, I'm fine. I was just in shock.

[Iviana (The Sign Painter)]

Me: You don't need to apologize. :( *huggle* We're always here if you ever need anything.

[Vanessa]

Me: I know. Thanks, guys.

I don't want to go to school tomorrow. I didn't do any homework because I slept for like five hours after I found out, and I can't just sit down and do chemistry right now.

Me: Oh my darling :( I'm so incredibly sorry for you and your family's loss ... I hope you have support in at least your mother's side of your family :( I wish I could transportalize to Virginia and be there for you :((( I think that's the main thing that bothers me about technology, that you can only be there with words as opposed to presence when one of your friends needs support. But we all love you dearly, and we are here for you now, and we will do what we can to help you through your shock and grief <3

[Iviana (The Sign Painter)]

Me: Maybe you shouldn't, then? I don't think you'll be any more functional then than you are now. :/ Take a day off and then try to get back.

Me: Don't go to school! You'll end up regretting it if you do :( I agree with Ivi, take a day off and relax, take a walk if the weather is nice, watch a movie you like with some calming tea :)

[Vanessa]

Me: My mom said I need to go.

But thank you all, really.

[.]

Me: Okay. Well, talk to your teachers, make sure they know you're going through a hard time. Speak to a guidance counsellor at your school, okay? You can do this. We're all behind you.

[Vanessa]

Me: Okay. I think I'm going to try to eat something and then go to bed. Night~ I love you all so much.

[Iviana (The Sign Painter)]

Me: Night, Van~ :)

[Vanessa]

Me: I knew my grandparents were going back to El Salvador but I didn't my mom was. She's already gone and I'm so scared because she's left me.

[Jo]

Me: That happened when my grandfatger died and my dad took a flight to Costa Rica without warning.

Me: Oh gosh :( Why didn't she tell you? Van, if you need to Skype or anything just add me, I'm tulik.tee. We'll help you with this, okay?

[Vanessa]

Me: I don't know. She could have told me yesterday. I only knew because I heard her at the door with me father, telling him to take care of me. He didn't say yes or okay or anything. He just asked her when she was coming back. And when she said it again, he stayed silent. Then she left.

So going to school was easier than staying at home, because at least then my friend Ivania was more concerned. She was so nice to me and just made things less hard.

[Jo]

Me: *hugs Van* I wish I could help you, Van. It's really, really hard, but I'm glad your friend helped.

[Vanessa]

Me: You are. Just listening to me helps, honestly. More than you know.

[.]

Me: Anything you need we'll be here to give you <3 When you come to Toronto for your music trip I'll buy you endless amounts of poutine and nanaimo bars :3

I'm glad that you enjoyed school, though :) Be sure to tell your teachers so they don't unknowingly pile things on you, okay?

[Jo]

Me: Oh my god guys I made a scene at school today and it was so embarrassing but thank God nobody said anything.

[Vanessa]

Me: I don't know how to tell them. I don't want it to look like an excuse.

[.]

Me: ... I know how you feel, Van :( I really do, I didn't want to use my father's death in any way to make life easier for me at school. But I ended up regretting it, because my friend had recently used an acquaintance's suicide as an excuse not to do any work, and watching how the teachers were treating her versus treating me was incredibly ... hurtful. I felt stressed, like my emotions were stretching out, and I couldn't handle them ... Thus began a series of anxiety/panic attacks coupled with severe depression at the end of March. Eventually I told the teachers where I was having difficulty completing assignments, and they completely understood.

Bottom line: You know it's not just an excuse. It's a real, living grief for you. So treat it like one - it needs care and comfort; take as much stress off as you can. Approach them after class/during lunch and quietly inform them of your loss, and say that as a result your school performance may be altered. They will understand.

[Vanessa]

Me: All right. I think I'm going to just tell my counselor and ask her to tell them, because I'm not comfortable telling all of them.

I have a question. . .(view spoiler)[I know it's okay to cry and such, but is it normal to be feeling tired? I just cry for some time and then all I want to do is sleep. (hide spoiler)]

[.]

Me: That's what I did :)

Of course! I feel exhausted after I cry. Your body is weak and all the wrong hormones are being sent through it thanks to the negative emotions your mentality is experiencing. It's very common if not usual. <3

[.]

Me: Non sequitur but I'm changing Ingrid's model ^_^

[Vanessa]

Me: Oh, okay. Thanks.

I think I'm gonna go to bed. Night.

[.]

Me: Good night Van. I really hope you feel better :(

[Vanessa]

Me: I feel better at school. My government and Spanish teachers were gentler with me. My counsellor was a bit insensitive because she told me not to be sad and to start moving on. I dunno. At least she got done what I told her to do.

Me: Wow, what an idiotic counsellor :/ Clearly she's never dealt with grief. I'm glad you feel better at school <3

[Jo]

Me: Everything's chaotic over here even if we're several hours away from Waco.

[.]

Me: What?

[Vanessa]

Me: Waco, Texas. There was a plant explosion.

I'm so glad and relieved that you're all right and safe, Jo.

[Jo]

Me: Thanks, Van.

I hope your moron of a counselor stops being a jerk.

[Vanessa]

Me: I never really liked her. I think I get a new one each year, though? I had a different woman last year, but she's still there, so I assume so.

[.]

Me: Oh my god! I had no idea D: Are you alright, Jo?!

[.]

Me: Why are there so many explosions going on :( My older sister was in New York and not Boston when it happened, thank goodness. This is so scary. I'm really relieved to hear you're okay, Jo <3

[Jo]

Me: It was an accident, not a attack. Thanks, Whim.

[.]

Me: I know, it was still an explosion though! :(

[.]

Me: I have a nice dance song you guys should listen to :D

[Iviana (The Sign Painter)]

Me: GRAH.

D: I just heard about what happened in TX. Glad you're okay, Jo.

Also, terrible counselor is terrible. >_O

[Vanessa]

Me: It's okay. I have you guys and my friend at school.

[Iviana (The Sign Painter)]
