⠀ OUT OF POCKET. ⠀

⠀ will they take my tag off if i end up with two dead aunts? ⠀

⠀ gently knocking on 𝐄𝐥͟𝐥𝐞’s bedroom door. “ellie bean?” ⠀

⠀ “i promise i’m on my own.” addie said whilst pushing the door open. letting out a gentle sigh, she sat down on the edge of her bed. “what’s up?” ⠀

⠀ frowning, she immediately climbed into bed and pulled elle into her arms, nodding slowly, “i’ve got you,” she started, holding her sister tight, “it’s okay, i’m here.” ⠀

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ pulling 𝐄𝐥͟𝐥𝐞 into her arms as soon as she finds her, hugging her tight. “none of this is your fault. none of it— do you hear me? i’m so sorry.” ⠀

⠀ shaking her head, one hand rested on the back of elle’s head to hold her close as she spoke softly, “no, it isn’t. mom would never blame you for this, i know she wouldn’t.” ⠀

⠀ “you have no reason to blame yourself, and he’s just being an idiot,” addie shook her head, her arms wrapping around her sister even tighter to keep her close, “it’s not your fault. i mean that.” ⠀

⠀ pacing the hallway outside her mom’s room, nervously cracking her fingers— she can’t bring herself to go in. ⠀

⠀ eventually walking into the room after hesitating for a while outside, lingering by the door with a nervous look on her face. “mom?” ⠀

⠀ with a small nod of her head, adeline walked over to the bed and hesitantly reached out to take her mom’s hand, scared to do anything that might hurt her. ⠀

⠀ walking in. spotting him. walking straight back out. ⠀

⠀ storming up to 𝑱𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐞. ⋆˙⟡ and punching her square in the face. “fuck you.” — aaaand she’s walking away. ⠀

⠀ turning around, her brows furrowed in a frown. “my problem? you’re my fucking problem!” addie snapped, leaping at josie and knocking her to the ground before her first once again collided with her face. repeatedly this time. ⠀

⠀ stumbling back slightly, glaring at the girl. “she’s not even your mom, dude. jo’s your mom, and i didn’t touch her.” ⠀

⠀ attempting to use a knife to get the tag off her ankle— horrendous idea? maybe. ⠀

╱ ⠀⠀ someone needs to confiscate honey’s phone. it’s not FUNNY ANYMORE.

⠀ i love you. 🫶🏼 ⠀

⠀ fresh in the slammer. 😛 ⠀

⠀ see you … soon? ⠀
