Kayla didn't dare reply, and could only bear with Maya's abuse that stung her hard. She just looked down at her own feet in a sorrowful and guilty expression. Pain was rather evident in her dark purple eyes.
"Maya, don't yell at her," Raven suddenly opened her one golden right eye and said in an extremely serious tone. "I have never allowed her to do anything close to letting anyone know of my condition.
"And although you may think that she should have; that is not necessarily the case. If she had told anyone about it, I would have lost my trust in her as well and then absolutely would have suffered from a serious breakdown like she mentioned."
Thinking about it for a moment, Raven approached Kayla and hugged her sincerely and tightly. "Sorry Kay, it must have been really hard on you. I have made you suffer. I'm so sorry…"
