Jackie took his hands, standing up carefully, leaning a bit on him and a bit on the door frame. Her legs still felt rubbery but at least she could stand on them.
She listened to his experience, her eyes looking off to the side at the floor. Her mouth twitched when he told her about throwing up. I'm not gonna smile, I'm not gonna smile, she told herself. Of course the holding it in meant when he told her she could lie about what happened it all came out in a surprise snicker and a smile that she covered with a hand. It seemed so wrong to laugh right now but maybe she needed to. Felt good to smile again.
"Ohhh, my hair..." It wasn't accusatory this time, more of a lament as she touched the fine hairs on the top of her head, running her hand down. She probably looked terrible.
...and her fingers found something metal at the base of her neck. The smile faded into worry, she wasn't quite sure what it was but it being there was creepy enough. She finally looked up at Neo with worry in her eyes.
