Beth hit the ground hard and didn't try to pick herself up. She was lost in a place she didn't know, she had just been cast aside by the man she trusted just as much as her own blood, and she was emotionally drained. She had no idea how to proceed from here, and didn't bother coming up with a plan. She sat in the mud, with the rain falling down on her, and curled up and cried. She would pick herself up eventually, but she had to give herself time to fall completely apart before she could put herself back together again.
