He hugged her tightly. “Jen, no matter how good of a person you are, and you are a very good person, there will always be people who don’t like you. Someone is going to think that you’re acting the way you do for selfish or bad reasons, someone is going to dislike what you do to try to make them feel happier or accepted or loved. You can try your very best to do exactly what they want…” his voice broke a little, “but they can still not like you. Does that make sense?”

“But very few people like me. I understand that there are people out there who won’t like someone no matter what, but so many people hate me. If everyone you meet thinks you’re awful, then that means something. Not everyone is the type of person to hate someone no matter what. Most people are good.”

Jenny hugged her knees, staring at the ground again. She fought to keep back tears.

”There’s gotta be something wrong with me.”

"Well, I was falling through a void. There were these distant screams, but they died out quickly. Then a voice said something along the lines of: Stop messing with things you don't understand, you stupid kid! I responded with a confused what? and the the voice told me to wake up. And I did."

 

"Hm." Terrance seemed to consider this.

”There’s gotta be something wrong with me.”

He hugged her. “How many people actually know you well? Because the one I know that does…well he more than likes you.” He smiled at her. “In fact, he thinks you’re the most wonderful, beautiful, kind person he’s ever met. And he thinks that the people that hate you don’t know you well enough, otherwise they wouldn’t feel like that.”

Jenny smiled and looked up at Ed. What he said made sense. Maybe people just didn’t know her well enough.

Then why don’t people ever want to get to know you?

Her smiled faded until it was slight, but it remained. She needed to hold out hope, assume the best. It’s what kept her going; she couldn’t lose that. She finally hugged Ed back.

She smiled, but then almost stopped. What was she thinking? Should he ask her.

“What are you thinking now?”

“What are you thinking now?”

“I’m thinking that I want to believe you. The voice is thinking that I shouldn’t.”

Jenny spoke quietly. She didn’t want anyone else to hear about the voice. Only some people knew about it, and they didn’t know the full extent. Ed was the only person who understood it completely, and she wanted to keep it that way. She didn’t want everyone to think she was even crazier.

“Well who do you trust more? Me or the voice?”

That took longer than expected. Sorry.

“I trust you.”

You shouldn’t.

”It’s just very persistent. I think it isn’t winning right now, though.”

It’s only a matter of time.

Jenny hugged Ed a little tighter. She trusted him. She had to make sure she wouldn’t hurt him.

He hugged her tighter too. “Good. We need to figure out how to get rid of it don’t we?”

 He liked hugging her.

“We do.”

You can’t.

”I just don’t know where to start. I don’t want to make it too mad, either. It gets cruel when it’s angry. It scares me.”

She pulled back slightly and looked at Ed with fear in her dark eyes.

”What if I accidentally bring it to your dreams again? What if it hurts you?”

“If it hurts you, then it’s not worth it.”

Jenny said this forcefully, staring at Ed with deep sincerity. Her voice then faded into a quiet terror, breaking slightly.

”I don’t know what it can do. I don’t know how it can hurt you. I could lose you, Ed. I love you. I’d much rather have an annoying voice in my head than put you in that sort of danger.”

She…really thought that? After all this time…after everything they’d been through together, it was still hard to believe she cared about him that much. But she was scared, terrified, of what the voice could do to him. He would find a way to get rid of it.

 But for now, he was perfectly content to try to comfort her. He leaned in, putting his forehead against hers. “I love you too, and I won’t let anything come between us. I have someone to fight for, to survive for. I’ve never really had that before.”

Dang. He's smooth. That was an amazing line.

Ed would fight for her. Maybe… maybe he could help, somehow. He already was, in a way. She closed her eyes, focusing on his arms wrapped around her, his forehead against hers. Jenny found herself trusting that he could help her despite all evidence seeming to point to the contrary.

”Thank you.”

She wanted to say more, but she was choking up. He said she gave him something to survive for. That meant he was starting to feel better, too.

“Of course. Always.” He didn’t know what else to say, or even if he needed to say anything. So he just held her there, not wanting to ever have to move.

"Another good point." She said. She paused. "Quick question. You all are going to LA, right? Well, why not take a taxi to a bus stop or something?"

Jenny eventually opened her eyes again. She didn’t say anything, just looking at him. He made her feel safe. She was terrified for herself, for him, for the quest, but he somehow managed to make it all seem ok. Jenny knew that when she let go it would all come rushing back, so she continued to hold on. It felt like she was in the eye of a storm.
