Stars and Memories.
My goodness it's been a while gang!
I'm really sorry that I haven't posted in so long, (I know I always say this) but I've been having a bit of a wild ride. So, there you go.
Now I know this is just a filler chapter, but it's better than nothing while I finish up the next proper chapter, isn't it?
Thank you everyone for waiting this long! I hope you enjoy it!
"I know this might sound bad..." Thea began, as the three women sat on the deck late at night.
They were talking amongst themselves, something which had become a rarity. Thea sat between the two elder women, their legs dangling below them, their arms resting on the rail.
"Go on."
"Well, I'm sort of forgetting what it was like, before all of this." The youngest sighed, gazing up into the navy sky, the scattered stars reflected in her violet eyes.
Taylor looked down at her feet dangling over the edge of the ship. Elle, stared at Thea's face, before she also looked up into the sky at the silver stars twinkling.
She knew how the two of her 'little sisters' felt. She felt the same. Lost, out of place, confused, sometimes it just felt like a dream. Maybe not a dream, more like a nightmare you can't wake up from, no matter how hard you tried.
"Hey, tweedle dee and tweedle dum, listen."
The younger two turned their heads towards Elle.
"You see those stars?"
"Hold on a minute, you sound super gay." Taylor piped up.
"Just shut the fuck up and listen to me, alright? You can take the mick later."
Elle waited until the two of them had settled down, before she began.
"You see those stars?" the two nodded in sync. "Thea, remember when we first met? We came to stay with you, and we camped out in the front garden. We stayed up all night star gazing, d'you remember?"
Said girl thought for a minute, before Elle saw the start of a small smile on her lips.
"Yeah," she began, slowly, "We made hot chocolate on the camping stove and topped it with marshmallows and squirty cream!"
"Hell yeah we did, and Tay, remember when Thea first came over to America and we stayed at your ranch?"
"Sure I do, I taught you two how to ride a horse... T-spoon ended up having the biggest horse!" Taylor snorted at the end.
"And what did we do that night?"
Now Taylor thought for a moment.
"We ended up making muffins and waffles at 1 in the morning... then we ate them on the porch, with some coffee and smoked... and we waited for the sun to come up..."
"Yeah," Elle smiled, in a motherly way. "Yeah we did. If you ever think you're forgetting, look at those stars, and you'll remember."
