"No," she chokes on the word and clears her throat around the sound of it, tilting her head back to blink away what's tried to escape. "No, you don't understand..."
She squirms, a shift of discomfort not at Kate or anything she's saying, but at the situation as a whole. At not being able to run from all the things she does not want to face.
Yelena just shakes her head, no words this time, and folds her arms around the other girl's middle, and it takes a long, silent moment for her to find her voice again. "Everything good in my life gets ruined... falls apart or is taken away from me, used against me..." Her words are thick on her tongue, "I don't want you to be ruined because of me."
