Christy's POV
I stared at the girl's face in shock and it took me a few seconds to finally snap out of it.
"Kara? What are you doing here?" I asked and quickly helped her up.
Her eyes were swollen and it seemed like she had been crying for quite a while now.
"Is it really you? You look so different" she said while observing my face thoroughly.
"It's me" I said as I pulled her into a hug.
I noticed that she has lost weight and was now a little skinny compared to a month ago.
"What happened to you?" I asked her with a worried expression and she started sobbing again.
"My…my Mom passed away" she said amidst sobs and I pulled her into a hug again.
I slowly rubbed her back until she became a little calm before pulling away from the hug.
"How did you end up here?" I asked her after sitting down on the garden bench.
