This was originally so much shorter. Okay, originally, originally, it was completely different. It was originally set much later and under different circumstance, but since I elected to pretend Tristan’s death did not happen, I had to rework it. Then I posted the rework and it was more of a little snippet than anything else and didn't really ( Read more... )

Kaitlynn Winston could be a messy drunk. It wasn’t one of her finer personality traits, but she dealt with it by only having a glass of wine periodically, and only really getting drunk once a year.

"Are you listening to me?" Kaitlynn demanded, waving a hand in front of Adam's face before resting her elbow on the counter in front of her, hand outstretched. "I need more sugar."

“Kaitlynn Marie Winston, in god’s name-what have you done to your face?”

Kaitlynn dropped her backpack on the floor by the front door and gazed despairingly up at the dry-erase calendar that hung above it. Their parents weren’t supposed to be home until tomorrow.

In an instant her mother was in ( Read more... )
