43 Back Home

Her first time being around so many people was physically and mentally exhausting.

Each step taken back towards her home seemed heavier and heavier.

The closer she got to her home, the more relieved she began to feel.

Despite herself calming down a little upon reaching closer to her safe space, she still clumsily searched for her keys awkwardly putting them into the key hole before unlocking the door.

Once the click of the door unlocking was heard, she pressed on her handle and opened it while quickly removing the keys.

The door was slammed shut behind her and the keys were inserted again turning them enough to lock the door behind her.

Her back turned towards the door as she leaned against it.

Her body slowly slid down as if her strength was weakening until she finally found herself sitting curled up with her back against the wall, her arms wrapped around her knees and her knees up to her chest.
