"I can't go to my sister. I can't go to anyone, not now" pg. 54

I feel really bad for Nadira. She is under a lot of pressure, and she now feels like everything is her fault. Because of what happened with her and Uncle, she feels really insecure, especially now. She can't share what has happened to her best friend, who they share everything with, and now she feels she can't share anything with anyone anymore. Since this morning she has felt like a completely different person, cheating on her math test, making her sister cry, feels like everything was her fault, and doesn't know what to do. She is going through a lot right now, and to make it even more shaken up, her father has to be "questioned". How can she share what happened with Uncle with anyone, how can she say she made her sister cry, how can she talk about what happened with her father? The thing is, she can't. She's afraid she will mess everything up, more than it is now. I think she does need to branch out to someone. Maybe she can tell Tim. He seems to know a lot about what is going on, and he seems like a good listener for her, just to let everything out. Just to get it off of her chest. She needs to tell someone, but not someone who is involved, not someone she normally would go to, a new person, someone just there.
