“Oooh! Sleepover! C-can we order pizza?”

“You realize we’re always having a sleepover, technically, right?”

The girl was breathless with laughter as she sat cross-legged on Nicki’s bed, her hands folded in her lap as she looked at the other girl, and then over at Jameson. It was exceedingly rare for him to actually be sticking around overnight, so she decided technically, this was a sleepover.

      “Pizza! Pizza and those sticky cinnamon things. Let’s do it. Don’t tell Seth.”

Mostly because he’d eat all the cinnamon things, she was sure.

"Your arm is not supposed to bend like that."

They had run out into the woods. Kailee was covered in mud, her shrieks of joy and laughter now muffled into little huffs of breath as she chose to look into the face of her scared friend instead of at her arm. Her hair, usually shiny and thick with wild curls, hung wet and dirty around her face from the rain and her tumble into the ditch. Her arm, laying crooked and useless, was starting to bruise and swell. 

Ever quiet, she struggled to climb to her feet. Her body language seemed more like that of a startled child who had done something wrong than a teenager with a broken arm in the middle of the woods. Then again, most days she acted more like a six-year-old than a sixteen-year-old.

          “It---it’s not that bad, is it? Don’t tell Seth---”

She wasn’t afraid that he would be angry. It wasn’t him. He got frustrated with her but he would never raise his hand to her. She was afraid of his disappointment, of causing him more anguish and stress. Kailee winced as she walked, her head ducked.

                            “You think we can fix it? I can be quiet if you’ll--put it back right.”

(2/2) She checked her hands to set down the drink, but it looked like she'd already done that, somewhere along the way. Nicki plopped down into bed, lying side-by-side with the girl, and letting out a squeak of a yawn, followed by a giggle at her own noise. She gave a little hum, looked up at the ceiling, and stretched out her toes. "Kai?" She whispered, as though she might've already fallen asleep. "I kinda wanna be more than friends."

Kailee had already crawled into bed when she heard the pitter patter of Nicki’s feet coming into her bedroom. One eye opened to sleepily peer at the girl, a brief, tired smile crossing her face as she was joined. Kailee shifted a little to allow the other tiny girl some room and get comfortable, not even bothering to question her presence.

Nicki’s whisper was a comforting thing, but her words confused the tired teenager. Kai rolled over so she lay shoulder to shoulder with Nicki, staring at the same ceiling and scrunching her eyebrows together.

“We’re much more than friends, princess. We’re best friends, remember?” Kailee giggled softly, but an idle hand reached and lightly squeezed Nicki’s.

             “What do you want to be? We can be anything.”

             "Nicki!" 

The tiny girl was wearing a coat that was easily long enough to hit the ground if she wasn't careful, her cheeks flushed from the col winter air and her hair tangled from the wind. She had been gone all morning, citing nothing to her brother or Jameson or anyone, really, about what she was doing. Of course the whole ordeal was probably going to make everyone upset with her for at least a week: running off without notice was enough to give her parents an aneurysm when she was at home.

But right now there was a grin on her face wider than any smile that anybody had seen on her face in months. Kailee skidded to a stop in front of Nicki, reaching carefully into her jacket. For a moment, it almost looked like she was hurt, but as she opened the coat a little, she revealed a tiny calico kitten that was tucked into her shirt. The little animal was asleep against Kai's chest, mostly covered by her sweater.

                         "I could hear her crying last night.                          She's all alone, Nicki, please----" Her tone was pleading, desperate, as if anyone would have the heart to tell either her or the kitten no.

"Nicki!"    She's been laying on the floor, surrounded by paper and various pencils, for what seems like days, but it really was about four hours. Bright blue eyes watched the other, before she sat up, producing a large piece of paper.

            "Look, I made us!" She held up the paper, which took some effort, because it was almost as big as she was. On the paper was a painstakingly detailed sketch of the two of them. It was in black and white, save for the eyes, which were colored carefully in shades of violet and blue for her own and amber with caramel and golds for Nicki's. She had sketched them in such a way that they almost looked like queens of their own little world, all regal but also keeping their playful qualities.
