I had just visited my best friend in hospital with my mum, hadn't seen my friend since she'd gone into hospital six months earlier.
I knew where she was coming from as she was (grave)ill, but as I'd been visiting her every week I had stopped seeing the obvious; my friend (lose)most of her body weight and her hair was falling out, it wasn't looking good.
After the visit I took my mum to the station (see) her off on her train; the mood was understandably bleak but I stayed positive as well you do, don't you? I went to get (we) some coffee and my mum some food for the journey. I misread the amount of my purchase and didn't have enough money.
some reason, this was the straw that broke the camel's back; I burst into uncontrollable (tear)as a massive queue was gathering behind me. A woman came up to me and offered to pay, putting an arm round my shoulder, no questions (ask).
I could barely say thank you through the confusion and the flood of emotion that was pumping through me running off in embarrassment. After composing myself I ran round the station (try)to find this kind lady to thank
