The Wall
By Maggie's Revenge
His arm was wrapped protectively around her as she clung helplessly to him, crying into his chest.
She didn't deserve to feel sadness; not someone as kind and helpful and brilliant as she was. It hurt him to see her so miserable, but as long as he was living, he would continue comforting her.
He would stand by her side and catch her when she fell; holding her up when she'd pushed herself too far. Even if he, himself, felt like breaking down, he would be a brick wall – solid and strong when she couldn't help but crumble.
