went outside
and I could not contain myselfany longer. I started to bawl. I was screaming and crying
and
holding onto
the
pole right out side
the
chapel.
I
cried
and

I
cried really loudly
because
of

but
mostly because
I
was
in
so much
pain

took
me
and
put me
in
her vehicle. She started questioning me I didn t respond I just.cried and cried.
Then she left the vehicle for a brief while. When she came
back
I was still crying she
told
me
to
try
to contain myself because everyone is going
to
hear me. Eventually I
stopPed screaming. I just wept bitterly. I then told her I wanted to go to the bathroom.
At
that point I felt like I wanted
to
throw up I went
to
the bathroom washed my face and
pulled
myself
together. I went back into the hall where
