Sorry for the delay I've been on holiday :) I know I haven't been focusing on Chloe and Evan but that will play a large roll when I return from my holiday. I just wanted to get into the way of writing first and really get clean who Kisaiya and her sensitivities. Although I didn't know all this was going to happen to Chloe so apologies if it's a bit all over the place.
Chloe knocked on the door and walked into the house. She had received a text from her cousin earlier saying she needed to speak to her. Chloe replied and said of course she could but Kisaiya had wanted to speak to her face to face. Chloe knew that she would be finishing work later but didn't want to let her cousin down. The girl was just starting to open up and Chloe didn't want all that work to be shot down. She replied to the girl stating that she would pop around after her shift.
Ange looked at the door as Chloe walked in confused.
"Everything okay?" She said surprised to see her daughter at her door.
"Yeah" Chloe said before looking at Kisaiya
"Kisaiya text me and said she needed to speak to me about something" Chloe said looking at the girl. Kisaiya bite her lip. She was worried that Ange would be angry with her for texting Chloe.
"Ah okay" Ange said slightly taken aback. She thought that she and Kisaiya had really taken a step forward recently but she had noticed that the girl seemed really on edge today. Kisaiya didn't move she just looked around.
"So em, do you want to speak to me privately or…?" Chloe asked noticing the tension but not wanting to make things hard for Kisaiya. Kisaiya nodded and stood up. She walked to her bedroom and Chloe followed close behind. She closed the door behind her and looked at Kisaiya sat on the bed.
"Are you mad I text you?" Kisaiya asked nervously.
"What? Of course not. I'm more than willing to come around and speak to you. You are my little cousin and it's been a while since I've seen you anyway" Chloe said trying to ease the girl's anxiety. Kisaiya nodded and looked down. She was really nervous now.
"So, what's up?" Chloe asked sitting down next to the girl.
"I've made sure a big deal of it now. I'm so silly. I shouldn't have texted you but I didn't know what else to do and now, now it's just awkward because you are looking at me and probably a million things are going through your head as to what I might say and then I'll say it and you'll laugh" Kisaiya said in one deep breath.
Chloe noticed the girl was getting in a state so she put her hand's on Kisaiya's shoulders.
"Sweetie, you need to breath" Chloe said "Copy me"
Kisaiya copied her cousin's breathing until she had calmed down and her breathing had returned to normal.
"Now I want you to remember that I am your cousin. You can speak to me about anything and we will work together to sort it" Chloe said and Kisaiya nodded.
She took a couple of deep breathes before looking directly at her cousin. She just wanted to say it. She knew that the second Chloe found it what was going on she would help. She curled into her cousin's side and Chloe took it as a hint to put her arms around the girl.
"I got my period" Kisaiya whispered. Chloe nodded.
"We'll deal with it. Well done for telling me" Chloe said. Chloe pulled away from the girl gently and looked into the girl's eyes.
"So I'm guessing you haven't told my mum?" Chloe asked and Kisaiya shook her head.
"No, I just couldn't. I can't tell her yet" Kisaiya said.
"I don't understand. She can help you" Chloe said.
"But, but can't you help me?" Kisaiya said letting tears come down her face.
"Of course, I'll still help you. But I just don't understand why you won't tell my mum" Chloe said honestly.
"I will tell her. I promise, I'll tell, just not today" Kisaiya said and Chloe nodded.
"Okay, don't worry" Chloe said knowing that she needed to calm the girl down first.
Kisaiya nodded. She looked at her cousin unsure what to do next.
"So I'm going to nip out and get you stuff because I only have tampons in my bag. Mum will have stuff for you but because you don't want her to know I'll have to buy some" Chloe said and Kisaiya nodded.
"Do you want to nip in the shower or come with me?" Chloe asked.
"I'm dirty" Kisaiya said not knowing how to explain it to Chloe.
"Do you want to have a shower and get cleaned up?" Chloe suggested and Kisaiya nodded.
"But what will you tell your mum?" Kisaiya asked concerned.
"I'll think of something" Chloe said and Kisaiya nodded. She walked into the main bathroom and jumped in the shower.
Chloe walked into the living room where Ange was sitting.
"Kisaiya's just having a quick shower. I'm away to go and get ice cream from the shops. Do you want me to get anything for tea?" Chloe asked.
"Nah, I'll put it on and we can eat when you get back. Is Kisaiya okay?" Ange asked and Chloe nodded.
"She's fine, don't worry about it. She will speak to you, she just said not today" Chloe said and Ange nodded. She trusted her daughter. Chloe left the house and Ange disappeared into the kitchen to make the tea.
Kisaiya sorted herself out before stepping out of the shower. She quickly dried herself and then sat down on the toilet. She had just sat down, when she heard a knock at the door.
"Kis, can you let me in?" It was Chloe. Kisaiya opened the door quickly and allowed Chloe into the room. She had the pads in the bag and opened it.
"Do you know what you are doing?" Chloe asked as she handed one to the girl. Kisaiya shook her head.
Chloe explained to Kisaiya how to put it on before turning around. She talked the girl through it again and Kisaiya pulled her pants up. They headed back to Kisaiya's bedroom and the girl changed into her pyjamas.
"So change your pads every 4-6 hours. If it gets heavy let me know and I can get you heavy pads. I don't think you need tampons yet but just speak to me or mum if you want to try them. It'll last about 3-7 days on average but it just depends. Try to mark when your periods are but you will probably be irregular just now. Don't worry about that. Em, just speak to me if you have any problems" Chloe said and Kisaiya nodded and smiled. She was glad her cousin was being so supportive to her.
"What do I do with the pads once I've used them?" Kisaiya asked.
"Mum has bins in both of the bathrooms. You just put it in there" Chloe explained.
"But then she'll see" Kisaiya said panicking.
"But she won't even be in your bathroom and when she does get around to cleaning your bathroom you will have told her" Chloe said not knowing what the big deal was. Kisaiya nodded. She was sure she'd be able to bin the bin liner before Ange cleans anyway.
Once Chloe was 100% sure that Kisaiya was comfortable and understood what was going on they headed to the living room.
"Just text me any issue you have" Chloe said and Kisaiya smiled and nodded.
"Good timing girls, that's tea ready" Ange said as she was just dishing up. They ate tea before moving onto ice cream which Chloe had bought. Once they had finished Chloe left. She kissed her cousin on the head.
"Remember just text me if you need anything" Chloe said and Kisaiya nodded. Ange smiled and looked at the girl. She really wanted to know what was going on.
"Remember you can talk to me as well" Ange said putting her hand on the girl's knee once Chloe had left. Kisaiya nodded. She just wasn't ready to tell her aunt yet.
Kisaiya soon excused herself and got ready for bed. Chloe text Ange and told her that she was to text her once Kisaiya told her what was going. She told Ange that the girl would definitely tell her.
So do you want Ange to find out or should Kisaiya or Chloe tell her? What do you think?
