"You are not allowed to take Luke down with you and you are certainly not allowed to deny the help everyone is offering you because you are too damn selfish and prideful to get up and ask for help to move on from what has happened to you." I looked at the frail girl in front of me, not recognizing her at all as the tears streamed down my face rapidly. My hands rose to wipe the tears away quickly, wanting and yearning to be stronger than I had been in such a long time. "You are strong. You are fearless. You went to hell for six months and are still here fighting. You are not allowed to give up now." Tears streamed down my face as tilted my head down once again to wipe the tears before facing myself again. "You are not allowed to give up," I spoke to myself as I saw the girl I was before the raid again for the first time in nine months. Second installment of 'The Code' trilogy.
