"Because you let me. You wouldn't let me help you and you didn't stop me from leaving."

Anah felt her heart burning. She’d tried, but something inside her stopped her and she couldn’t explain it. How would her sister understand? “I tried,” she said, sounding futile.

"No, you didn't. You didn't say 'Elina, stop' or 'Elina, don't go' or 'Elina, I'm sorry'. You said none of those things."

“I… I couldn’t,” she whispered.

"Why?! It's not that hard! It's one word, Anah! One word!"

"I don't know! I wanted to say it and I couldn't and I don't know why!"

"It's too late now. I won't help you anymore."

"Why?" Her throat closed around the question, making it a whisper.

"Because you didn't accept my help."

Anah bit her lip. How could she say that she wanted it, but couldn't have it?

"So I won't give it anymore."

Anah fought the rage in her. “No… I… I need your help…”

"I won't give you help if you won't let me give it."

“I…” No!!! Something inside of her cut her off and she flinched wildly.

"I want to give you help, sister! I really do! But I can't if you won't let me."

Anah groaned. Something was eating up at her from the inside. She attached one word to the growing feeling: anguish.

"Do you want my help?"

Yes! Help me! This pain is consuming me from the inside!
She looked at her sister. Her lips moved, forming the exact words she wanted to say: Yes, I need you. Instead, nothing came out.

"I said, DO YOU WANT MY HELP, SISTER?!"

Anah let out a sob. She collapsed onto her knees, weak and trembling. "Yes…" she whispered.

Elina knelt next to her sister. "Then let me help you."

Anah felt something inside her screaming at her to not let her sister in. "I… I don't… understand," she managed, then shakily pointed to herself, so she could clarify what she meant.

"You don't understand why I want to help you? You're my sister, Anah."

"My mind… My mind is telling me to stay away from you, and I don't understand why," Anah explained sadly. "I need your help, Elina, please."
