That I worked so very hard on with IfamousImagination! They're great check them out too! But with out further a due let's read!
"You're spending to much time with her!"
Shepard paced back and forth in her room, "Yeah?! Am I Kelly?! The girl has cancer for Christ sakes! And you don't even give a damn?!"
Kelly stood up from shepard's bed, "I do care! But…"
"But what? She's your bestfriend, you're suppose to be there no matter what! You know the shit she goes through and how much suffering she's endured! And you have the audacity to give me shit for giving a damn?!" Shepard yelled furiously.
This argument was going nowhere. It had been this way since Kelly had arrived two hours ago, this were spiraling out of control and it would be any moment now that someone snapped.
"Maybe she was right…" Kelly whispered.
They looked at each other, Shepard in astonishment and Kelly in fear. Shepard walked over to Kelly quietly.
"What? Who's she?…Kelly."
Kelly bit her lip, "Sky…jack-"
"No. Don't sky me. You have no right. No god damn right." Shepard wrenched.
Kelly tried to touch shepard's arm but like ninja Shepard pulled away, she didn't wanna be touched by anyone…except…
"God damn it sky! Jacks in intensive care! You might have beat her to death!…if she dies, death penalty for you…or lifetime in priso-"
"I don't care!" Shepard clenched her fists, "I don't care!…just get the hell out of here. No more talking. Just get out."
Kelly opened her mouth to say something but Shepard turned away. She swallowed the lump in her throat before leaving Shepard to wallow in her own nightmarish thoughts. (A/n: Shepard would like to thank the academy. :p)
Shepard had decided to visit Miranda, it had almost been a week since she had talked to her, of course Oriana always kept her up to speed with Miranda and how she was doing.
Oriana had told her that since she had been spending time with Shepard her moods had been better, also helping her health, it never hurt to give a smile every once in a while it helps the heart and the mind.
Shepard smiled at that, she loved making people feel happy. Especially the people she cared about.
"What's up Lawson!" Shepard smiled at the girl.
Miranda's eyes lit up as soon as she saw Shepard, "Skylar?! I thought you would have given up on me since it's been a year since you've seen me."
Shepard pulled up her chair with a laugh, "A year? Miss me much?"
Miranda grabbed shepard's hand that sat lazily on the bed unconsciously to both of them. "As if… I've just been watching the static on my mini tv for the past six days… it's now my all time favorite show."
Shepard played with Miranda's fingers without even thinking, she gave a little chuckle.
"What's it about?"
Miranda flashed her million dollar smile, "oh you know…stuff."
Shepard shook her head with a cheesy grin, "You look beautiful…as always."
Miranda intertwined there fingers, "You're such a lier, I don't have any make up and god knows when I've actually brushed my hair and took it down from this bloody bun."
Shepard rubbed her thumb against the back of Miranda's hand. "I know. I like you like that, it's the real you. The best you."
Miranda shook her head with a blush grazed across her cheeks, "Thank you. But anyways, what's on the agenda for today?"
"Well! I'm glad you asked Miri! Because for today! Were gonna do everything and anything you wanna do! Then I have a special surprise for you when I pick you up again at eleven."
Miranda beamed, "So we're spending the whole day together?"
Shepard rubbed the back of her neck, "Yeah sorta, I've got a couple of things to do before the big surprise. Don't worry though, it'll all be fine."
Miranda nodded and stuck out her pinky. "Pinky promise?"
Shepard laughed, "Pinky promise!"
Interlocked pinkies gripping tight to make sure they both had an understanding of each other.
"Hm." Shepard smirked.
Miranda cocked a brow with a small smile, "What?"
"I don't think that was a strong enough pinky promise…I think a kiss might seal the deal." Shepard waggled her thick eyebrows suggestively.
"What?! No!" Miranda laughed. "You have a girlfriend!"
Shepard smiled, "No I don't…not exactly. And besides we're friends…bestfriends! It can be our thing!"
Miranda smiled, "You're so pretty." Miranda laughed as she ruffled shepards hair.
Shepard grabbed Miranda's Miranda's hand and laid her lips on her palm. "If we had kids I hope they have your eyes…and your smile."
Miranda laughed, "Okay, let's pretend we did have children…why would you want them to have my eyes? Your eyes are so beautiful. And so is your smile."
Shepard gave a grin, "Okay, Let's have three children, one that looks like you. One that looks like me. And one that looks like both of us, it has one eye like mine and one blue one it has blonde and black Hair too. He'd be awesome."
"Okay, let's pretend I took you up on that offer for that kiss…" Miranda blushed.
Shepard's eyes widen, was Miranda serious? Shepard had just been joking. "I-"
"Sorry I'm late randa I ju- oh I didn't know Shepard was here," Oriana smiled, "…am I interrupting something?"
Shepard pulled away, "Uh no…we were just…talkin' that's all."
Miranda nodded, "Yeah…just joking around…isn't that right skylar?"
"Right. Joking." Shepard rubbed the back of her neck. "Oriana what are yo-"
"Sky, can I speak to you in the hallway for just sec?" Oriana demanded more than asked.
"Well I don't see why we can't talk in-"
Oriana pulled Shepard out the door and slammed it shut.
"Okay, first you Godamn e.m.a fighter then you're a two timer! Skylar what's gotten into you?" Oriana whispered.
"I…I don't know…it's her." Shepard mumbled.
Oriana cocked a brow,"What? Who?"
"Sh! Will you keep your voice down?!…it's Miri…I think I might like her." Shepard blushed uncharacteristically.
"What about Kelly? What about jack?"
She didn't give a fuck about jack, what the hell did she have to do with this? As far as shepard's concerned that bitch is dead. And Kelly well…
"Skylar!" Kelly came charging down the hallway in rage.
Uh oh. Shepard ran to meet Kelly halfway, "Kelly? What are you doing here?"
"Y-you pig! I k-kknow why you-you're spending so my-much time wit that bitch!" Kelly sputtered.
Shepard pinched her noes, "Godamn you smell like a fucking mini bar, have you been drinking? No stupid question, of course you have. You look like a one nighter that was a ten last night and then a two the next morning."
Kelly pounded on shepard's chest, "Why! W-hy we were gonna have wide eyed children!"
Shepard pushed Kelly off her, "We were! No you're a mess I didn't do this to you, you did it to yourself."
Kelly almost cried but her face hardened, "Fine!" Kelly ran to Miranda's door and kicked the door opened Shepard bolting after her along with Oriana. But it was too late.
"Yeah that's right, Shepard nearly killed jack! No Shepard killed jack! She's dying-"
Oriana pulled Kelly by the hair and pulled her out the door slamming it shut.
Shepard stared at Miranda, the tension was so thick in the room that if something fell of a shelf it would be stuck In mid air.
"Miri I-"
"Out…Shepard I can't look at you right now." Miranda said coldly.
"But Miranda I can-"
"Explain? Even if you did there would be no reason for doing that Shepard!" Miranda's wet eyes shot daggers at Shepard. "Go! Before I call security."
Shepard didn't say anything else she grabbed her coat and left the room, she greeted by Oriana who was standing right behind the door.
"Kelly had to be escorted out…listen Sky-"
Shepard held up a hand, "No. It's okay, just take care of her she needs you now more than ever, can you do that for me?"
Oriana nodded, she gave Shepard a hug before going into Miranda's room.
Shepard pulled out the ring she had gotten Miranda, she read the engraving: BFF'S till the end m&s…
She had gotten one for herself too, but now it was pointless.
Who knew now would be the end?
