Girl A

All of the nurses were tender, and sometimes, when they had left, I would cry in the clean, quiet room, the way that you cry when somebody is nice to you in the middle of a terrible day.

If I had been kinder, I might have let her know that I didn't begrudge her that day in the corridor. People have done far worse things to survive being a teenager.
