– ‘ I SAID SLOW DOWN, CAUSE GIRL, ’ paige sighs, ‘ are you deaf or just stupid ? ’ she doesn’t really take kindly to being cut off, especially when emma’s on one of her social justice tirades – though paige knows they’re more HARMLESS than anything. ‘ faux fur is a thing, you know, ’ she plays with the collar of her denim jacket, which is made of exactly that. ‘ why don’t you just . . . start one of your little petitions again instead of talking my ear off about it ? ’

‘ i can’t stop seeing their faces every time i close my eyes. ’ / @nelsns​

– A SILENCE FALLS BETWEEN THEM, but it’s not uncomfortable. it’s the sort of silence where paige is aware that words aren’t enough, reaching out to wrap her arms around the younger blonde. it’s been a DIFFICULT year for everyone, and emma witnessed more than most. sure, the two of them aren’t exactly friends – they’re allies when they need to be – but it seems more important now than ever that they have each other’s backs. 

‘ it’s not your fault, hun, ’ paige says, thumb drawing gentle circles on emma’s shoulder. though naturally, she can’t resist adding : ‘ what IS your fault is acting like an idiot down at the ravine. you can’t just stop looking out for yourself, especially right now. ’
