"I get that boo," she said gently, reassuring her. "I worry about you is all because I've seen what she's done to you..." she swallowed hard. "The only way it will stop is if you leave her and you're right. It's something that you have to do by yourself. It's... for me it was something immensely private but it had to be done and it had to be spoken about. If I didn't tell anyone that bastard would still be out there, hurting people."
"You'll be alright though," she said confidently. "Of course I think you can do it. You're the fucking best," she grinned, giving Emma another kiss on the top of her head. "You're going to get through this. You have Ruby and you have me, and you have a million other people to back you up."
"Trust me when I say, that all the bruises, all the pain and the shame, and the tears, all of it is worth the feeling of freedom. Like... have you ever held your breath for a long time, like made yourself dizzy and almost passed out?" she asked. "That feeling when you finally take a breath, it's like that only a million times better. You can feel every little bit of yourself finally relaxing and after a little bit of time, you start to stitch back together. That's worth it."
