"Emotions Overwhelming"

Part 51

As I walked back to my room, I felt like I was going to collapse under the weight of my emotions. The conversation with my friends had been a mix of relief and anxiety, but now that I was alone, I couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt and regret. I pushed open the door to my room and stepped inside, feeling like I was finally safe to let my emotions show. I closed the door behind me and leaned against it, feeling a lump form in my throat. I took a deep breath, trying to hold it in, but it was no use. Tears began to stream down my face as I felt the weight of my mistakes bearing down on me. I let out a sob, and then another, as I felt myself crumbling under the pressure. I stumbled over to my bed and collapsed onto it, burying my face in my pillow. I cried and cried, feeling like I was drowning in my own emotions. I couldn't stop, no matter how hard I tried. I just let it all out, the guilt, the regret, the anxiety, and the fear. As I lay there, lost in my tears, I didn't notice the knock on the door at first. It was soft and gentle, but it eventually caught my attention. I froze, feeling embarrassed and ashamed. Who could be hearing me like this? I tried to compose myself, but it was too late. The door creaked open, and I saw Ochaco standing in the doorway, a look of concern on her face. "Hey, are you okay?" she asked softly, her eyes scanning the room until they landed on me, lying on the bed, surrounded by tears. I shook my head, feeling a wave of embarrassment wash over me. I didn't want anyone to see me like this, especially not Ochaco. But she just walked into the room, sat down beside me, and wrapped her arms around me. "It's okay, I'm here," she said softly, holding me close. "You can cry, it's okay." I let out a sob, and Ochaco held me tighter, letting me cry on her shoulder. I felt a sense of relief wash over me, knowing that I wasn't alone, that someone was there to support me. As I cried, I felt my emotions slowly start to unravel, and I knew that I would be okay, that I just needed someone to be there for me.
