All Sarah could do was stare dumbfounded at the blonde clone, hoping she could work out just how off point that actually was.

And there it was. “Yeah, I think so.” Reaching into her pocket she pulled out the joint Cosima had given her. “An’ I didn’ mean a cigarette. I meant this, it’s jus’ herbs and shite. Nothin’ bad in it.”

“Oh my god, duh! No, yeah, totally. You know, I knew from the moment we met that we were gonna get along. It’s like, I dunno, it’s like we’re completely different but also kinda the same, you know? In a way? I dunno what that is. Are you a Taurus?”

Krystal excitedly plucked the joint from Sarah’s hand before realizing she had no way of lighting it. Embarrassed, she handed it back.

“Sorry, I’m still thinking about my ex. God, men are such assholes. If it’s not crabs, then they’re, you know, moving to Alaska or stealing your identity or, or siccing their creepy twin on you. Right? I mean, you kinda know me now. Be honest, is there something so wrong with me that I can’t just find someone normal?”

Independence was something that Siobhan would never give up and that certainly wasn’t the case now. Even if she was still recovering, that didn’t mean she was completely helpless (though she wouldn’t admit that she was). That didn’t mean she would show any sign of weakness. Everyday tasks were difficult now. There was no lifting Kira up for a hug or carrying her around. Lifting anything was out of the question really though it was slowly becoming more incorporated into her daily routine. Hugs could hurt if they were too tight. Anything requiring the use of the upper left portion of her body was difficult. The aches were still there. The incision site was healing nicely though there was still a long road to a full recovery ahead. It didn’t help that she had now become the child. There was no caring for others. Any and every move seemed to be monitored by Felix or Sarah and there were even times where Kira was telling her grandmother to take it easy.

Her armchair brought her great comfort despite the fact that it had almost been her final resting place. It’s where she spent a significant amount of time these days to relax and regain her strength. Today was a good day though. She was beginning to feel stronger and was determined to prove she was doing okay even if her body didn’t feel so. “Sarah!” she called towards the upstairs as she slowly made her way to the kitchen, moving her shoulder around ever so lightly to try and work out some of the stiffness which caused an audible groan. “Join me downstairs for a moment, will you?” It was a week now that she had avoided the subject of what led to the near death experience. Sarah deserved to know and the least she could do was try to explain.

Let’s Get Drunk | Sarah

@monkeysmum continued from HERE.

Sarah was already well on her way to being drunk, beer in hand she went to sit next to him. “An’ how is your birthday going so far?”

“What is this swill? No, no, no...” Lucifer said as he picked up a glass of champagne. “If you’re drinking properly we start with this and move harder as the night goes on. My party, my rules.”

Sarah didn’t expect Felix to tease her when she asked him to stay, but she still felt some relief when she was only given a gentle nod instead. Settling a little more comfortably on the bed, she tucked her arm under her head as she stared at the closet. S’s closet. Kira had protested going to bed and so she had let her stay up until nearing midnight before she convinced her to go lay down in her bed.

She could feel her brother move to lay next to her and could almost sense that he was about to speak. “Fe, don’t, please.” The words were spoken barely above a whisper. “Jus’ not now.” Sarah was glad she was faced away from her brother so that he couldn’t see the tear roll down her cheek.

Even though it appeared that she didn’t want to speak about her right now, she spoke up again. “I keep thinking she’ll jus’ walk through the bloody front door. An’ she’d say something about how this place has gone to shit while she was gone.”

          The fact that he could hear Mrs S say those exact words, hear her voice so clear in his mind whilst imagining that situation, it caused a lump to form in his throat as he let out a sad, choked out, breathy sort of laugh, feeling that stinging sort of sensation in his own eyes as though tears were threatening to spill. 

          Somehow they seemed to be holding things together without her but things would never be the same without her... Their entire lives she’d been that constant, keeping their shit together,  ( when they let her, that was ), and now she was just gone? 

          “ She’d probably be bloody right too. ”  He agreed, before sucking in a much needed breath and sniffling a little at the same time.  “ She’d definitely be telling us to get a grip if she could see us now. ”  The pair of them, just lying in bed all blubbery and upset.

“Do you smoke?” (monkeysmum)

“Ew, no. Do you have any idea what that stuff does to your body? I had an ex who started smoking, and the next thing you know, crabs. Just like, everywhere.”

Krystal’s eyes wandered off to the far wall, lost in thought.

“I think maybe he was sleeping around.”

@monkeysmumBlue - an angsty starter

“Why did you do that? Why did you think this was a good idea?” Beth was looking at her, her chest heaving with anger and little beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.
