“Im- just not sure, Im what they need. I mean look at me. Im broken in like a million ways. How am I really gunna help them?”
Hawk kicked Jacks foot to make sure she was paying attention to him. “God gives the strongest shoes to those he calls to walk the hardest paths.”
“Gosh,” She groaned, “I hate it when you spout wisdom like that. Its annoying.”
“I'm not even slightly sorry.”
“I know.”
“Ok,but honestly, your a strong person Jack. You shouldnt be surprised that this is the case. Heck you should be surprised it took this long.”
“I- I dont know if I want to be strong right now.”
“Strength is finding fuel on an empty tank. Not wanting to find the fuel or even wanting to get the darn car started. It just doing the next right thing. Finding fuel, then starting the car, then finding out where your going.” He kicked her again. “Because its completely normal to be overwhelmed by the unknown. What's not normal is being willing to act on the “known” part of the unknown. No matter how small it is.”
