She was crying, he realized, catching a glimpse of tears before Anna buried her face back into her lap.
Well shit.
With that revelation, he suddenly felt a pang of conscience beginning to root and grow and then blossom into full-fledged guilt. Quickly, Levi squashed the feeling, reminding himself that he was still very much annoyed at her…and the entire world at that. He hadn’t meant to get angry, especially not in front of Ephraim, but what had been done was already done. It only made him more upset at himself.
He was
supposed
to be helping Eph, not yelling at people who were his friends. (Levi still couldn’t quite get over that – when did Ephraim and Anna even meet? How could they possibly get to being friends? Had she fainted all over him too…
was that like some sort of hobby of hers?
) God, if only he could push and purge his mind out for a second, just so he could shut up that
fault-tastic
brain of his. And then maybe,
maybe
he could function and speak like a normal human being who didn’t feel the need to blow up every ten seconds. This was turning out to be an
extraordinarily
bad day.
“Oh believe me,” Levi answered, “you didn’t wreck my life; you are giving yourself
way
too much credit here.”
With a heavy sigh, he walked over to Anna, and slid down into a sitting position beside her. Levi leaned back, resting his head against the wall, and stared up blankly at the ceiling for a few seconds. There was no point to moping around, even if it was what he felt like doing. Life continued on without giving a rat’s ass about how
one, insignificant, average
person felt. He would have to take in a lot more than his own feelings.
It took an exceptional amount of energy to turn towards Anna and say, “Well go in then. He’s waiting for you.”
Only for Eph.
