Can't Trust a Girl in Blue

“Stop it Echo!” shouts Kat through giggles. “No one likes to be tickled.”

“But it makes me feel better to hear someone laugh.” She replies. She looks down. Her wrists show scars that neither sister wants to remember. Worry and regret, desperation and despair show through. Sad by each other’s thoughts, showing to be the same.

“I know it does. But I don’t need tickled, you dork.” Kat explains as she tries to lighten the mood again. “Why don’t we try to eat?” she says as she hands her little sister a small slice of left over pizza from two nights ago. Kat pulls out some beads to make some kandi.

“What do we get to do for my birthday next week?” Echo asks looking at her sister.

“What do you want to do?” Kat says without looking up from her beads.

“I don’t know.” Echo pauses in thought before she continues. “Maybe we can go to the big park across the town where Mom would take us when we were young. Can we do that?” Smiles bright at the idea.

Kat pauses and looks up at Echo’s excited expression. “Now, I can’t promise,” She looks away knowing the distance is much, “but we can try.”

“Yay!” Echo exclaims hugging her sister.

“Hush! You know how Mr. Way takes to us already. He might kick us out if you keep shouting.” Kat looking worried at her younger sister. They continue on silently, making random kandi. Kat looks up suddenly at the clock for the time, 2:38 am. She frowns and looks to Echo, “We should get to bed then.” Echo nods and they both stand up from their places on the floor by the door. They walk across their one room apartment to the bed they share. Pulling out the covers and climb in, lying face to face. Echo's cheek gets a tear as she closes her eyes. Kat wraps her arms around her tight. Both their blue eyes fill with tears as they think of their mother. Kat dismisses the thoughts, closing her eyes too. Soon they’re both asleep.

Notes

Kat and Echo are close, and I mean close, close. This chapter shows that their ties can't be broken at all. I tries to show hints of their past and details of their pretty blue eyes xP
