"Aren't you going to help at all?" Carly asked as she struggled to carry a box into the apartment.

"My head hurts." Sam was sprawled out on the couch and obviously had no intention of moving.

"That's because you spent all last night drinking."

"Well at least I helped pack yesterday."

"Yeah, if by helping you mean you ate a box of cereal and played with Pepper."

"I'm gonna miss Pepper." Sam acknowledged sadly.

"Sam!" Carly shouted indignantly. "Your sister gets dumped and kicked out by her girlfriend of two years and all you care about is the dog?"

"I don't see what the big deal is. Ellie and I just broke up." Sam muttered.

"You were only dating for two weeks and you cheated on her twice!"

"Well she still dumped me." Sam shot back.

"She dumped you because you cheated on her!" Carly responded in annoyance.

"Whatever. I still don't see why Melanie has to stay here. Can't she stay somewhere else?"

"Sam she's your sister." Carly answered exasperatedly.

"So?" Sam shrugged and turned her attention back to the television.

Carly let out a frustrated sigh. "We're going to move the rest of her stuff to storage. We should be back in a couple of hours."

"Uh-huh." Sam muttered, clearly not paying attention.

Carly sighed again before leaving. Hearing the door close, Sam turned from the TV. "Hey, where'd Carly go?" Shrugging she turned back to the TV.

Carly found Sam in the same position when she returned with Melanie a few hours later. Noticing Carly's return Sam perked up.

"I'm hungry."

"Have you moved at all while I've been gone?" Carly questioned setting down one of Melanie's bags.

"Uh-uh. I'm watching a marathon of Girly Cow."

"I thought that show got canceled." Melanie said as she set down the bag she was carrying.

"It did." Sam nodded. "That's why I'm not going to move until the marathon is over. Who knows when it will come on again!"

"Or you could just buy the DVD set." Carly laughed.

Sam snorted. "Why bother? It's on TV."

Carly shook her head in amusement and motioned for Melanie to follow her. "I took everything out of the hallway closet for you. You can put your stuff in here." She opened the door to show her the empty closet.

"All your yapping is ruining my Girly Cow." Sam complained as she pushed pass them in the hallway and moved into her room, presumably to continue watching Girly Cow.

"How do you live with her?" Melanie laughed.

"How did you live with her?" Carly shot back.

"Good point." Melanie smiled.

They walked back into the living room and Carly began pulling off the couch cushions. As she unfolded the bed from the sofa she looked over to Melanie apologetically.

"It's not the most private area in the apartment, but it's better than Sam's room." Carly smiled. "Spencer put this together using a couch, a futon, an old mattress, and some foam mattress toppers. It's actually really comfortable."

The two young women fell into silence as they made the bed. Laying the last pillow on the bed Melanie turned to Carly.

"Thank you." The blonde said softly.

"No problem." Carly replied. "I can't imagine what it's like to have your life turned upside down so quickly. If you ever need to talk or anything my room is, you know, right down the hall." She laughed softly and smiled.

"I really appreciate this." Melanie pulled Carly into a hug and laid her head on her shoulder, catching the brunette off guard.

Carly felt her stomach flip for a second and tried to push the feeling down. She knew the woman in her arms wasn't her best friend, despite the fact the two looked almost exactly the same. But she couldn't help but let herself enjoy the contact. While Sam was more open with Carly than anyone else, she was still sparing with physical affection. There was nothing wrong with taking small pleasure in the embrace of her twin. Right?
