a/n Hello again! Alright, so I realized how short the passed two chapters were, so I decided to post both at once. So, I hope you enjoy! :)


Tegan

I look out the window at the setting sun, relaxing at he soft pitter-patter of the shower echoing across the other wise silent house. My mind dances along the summer trees outside. My thoughts keeping me too preoccupied to notice Sara had been the shower for almost an hour now. A childish paranoia creeps up my spine and engulfs my body. Teenage stress often brought long bouts of depression to My Sara- Her fits of war against her self were often fought in the solitude of the shower. The one place in a house of four where she could be alone, and shield the world from the destruction she forced upon herself.

I used this excuse to justify the quick dash I make to the bathroom, my hands frantically clash against the door, I beckon her to let me in.

"Sara? Sara, open the door!"

"I'll be out in a minute!" She calls back quietly.

"Sara darling, let me in." I jiggle the door knob and find it open. I burst through the door.

"Tegan?" She whispers from behind the curtain. I go to open it, when scribbles across the steamy mirror catch my eyes. My lips start to quiver, tears threaten my eyes when I come across the last sentence sprawled the entire length of the glass surface.

"I CAN'T TAKE IT."

"Sara!" I rush across the bathroom and pull the white curtain back, tripping over my feet and falling face first into the full tub. I scramble up and look over to her, expecting to find this angle fallen and lost in a dreamless sleep.

But, I find her wide eyed and bashful, protecting the childish smirk threatening her lips; A shaving razor in one hand, and a can of foam in the next, her extremely thin legs covered in the blue mess.

"Fuck..Uhm..Hi." I slip against the porcelain and hit my face against the tub, instantly I push myself up and take off my drenched shirt.

"Do you normally break into the bathroom while women are showering and strip for them? Your nose is bleeding by the way there, love." I step back and put my hand to my nose, I let out a loud groan.

"Fuuccckkkkkk. My life." Sara smiles and stands herself up in the shower.

"Awe, love. Come in and wash up." She says, spreading her arms out towards me. I take comfort in the lack of normality in this scene. I smile and finish undressing, putting my body close to Sara's under the stream of hot water. Sara smiles and wraps her arms around me, touching my legs with the cool gel. Life seemed better now. Life seemed okay. I seemed okay.
