'It's okay, I'm here'

Fluttershy rustled from the other side of the bed. “Twilight, is everything alright?”

I couldn't give her an answer as I tried to pull myself together. I didn’t want her to see me crying like this.

She sat up, and I felt her pull me into a hug, her wings wrapping around me. She felt like an island in the middle of a storm at sea. I nuzzled my face into her shoulder and cried into it. She gently shushed me. “It’s okay. I’m here.” She slowly lowered the two of us to the bed, still holding me in her embrace. “Just let it all out.”

I did, exhausting myself before drifting off back to sleep.
