#* aaliyah

holly was experiencing a mixed state of fear , anger , sorrow and shock all at once yet as of a few days ago , another feeling thankfully overcame all that ;  relief .   she had been trying to keep it together in hopes of aaliyah’s safe return despite fearing for the worst and as soon as she had the word that she had been found , holly had rushed to her room .   yet between the authorities questioning and her having to continue her job at the hospital , the two obviously hadn’t gotten to see each other much .   now that her shift was over , holly had her arms filled with flowers , her best friend’s favorite snacks , a teddy bear and anything comforting she could lay her hands on .  once she greeted aaliyah’s father and made her way to the girl’s room , she had to peek over behind the huge teddy bear with a small grin on her face .   “ heard that my favorite girl was here ...   oh , here she is ! ”
