The final chapter of Book I!
The drive back to Canterlot was as quiet as a tomb. Sunset sat there, uneasily, not knowing what to say.
“You really are worried about her, aren’t you?” Octavia said, her voice sounding a little guilty. “I’m an idiot, I swear. If I’d just listened to you, I’d….”
“It’s okay,” Sunset said, giving Octavia a wan smile in reply.
“No, it’s not okay! She and I have been together through everything, and for her to just think I abandoned her….” The guilt was ripping through Octavia now that she’d heard about everything that had happened to her best friend and cousin’s near-suicide two weeks before. “We’ve always been as thick as thieves before, and for the past couple of months, I’ve pretty much just abandoned her!”
“Tavi!” Sunset’s voice was sharp. “Be there for her when she gets back. It’s too late to do anything now, but it’s not too late once she gets back. Trust me, do you remember what I told you when we first met? That a friend of mine once told me that friendship is magic? Being there for her will be the strongest help you can give her.”
From the driver’s seat, Evening said, “Yup, listen to Sunny, Tavi. She knows what she’s talking about.”
“But I should have been there for her!”
“Don’t worry – in a couple of days this will all be over,” Sunset said in a tone that brooked no argument. Octavia looked at her with surprise; even Ballad, peeking over from the passenger seat, wondered what the older teen was talking about.
“How can you be so sure?” Octavia asked.
“Because this has to end one way or another,” Sunset said in a firm voice, “and I’m going to do my damnedest to make sure it does.”
What will Sunset do? Stay tuned!
