"Callie?"

"Hey Hanna,"

"Kale's here too," Hanna mumbled.

"Hey Callie," I whispered.

"Hey,"

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah,"

"Why'd you leave?"

"I don't have anyone to talk to you,"

"You have me," Hanna whispered, a tear slipping from her eye.

"It's different."

"How?"

"I want someone else."

"You have me," I whispered.

"Yeah,"

"We talked about this, Cals!"

"Yeah, but you and Hanna were fighting, and I didn't want to bother you."

"We weren't fighting," Hanna quickly said.

We both sat down in chairs next to Callie's bed.

"Yeah, you were."

"Yeah, I guess we were." I whispered, setting my hand on Hanna's knee.

"Yeah,"

"Even if me and Hanna fight, Cals, whenever you need to talk, I'm here."

"Really?"

"Hell yeah," I said.

Then I realized that it wasn't Hanna I was talking to, and Callie probably wouldn't find it funny.

"I mean--yeah, always." I corrected myself.

I heard Hanna let out a giggle, and I smiled at her.

"Can I talk to Kale alone?"

"Uh," Hanna whispered.

She was obviously hurt that after everything, her sister didn't want to talk to her. Yet, with nothing else said, she stepped out into the hallway, closing the door to leave us alone.

"Kale, I'm scared."

"I know,"

"How?"

"Because I'm scared too. And Hanna's scared."

"Why did you hurt her?"

"I didn't mean to."

"Well, you did."

"I know that."

"Sorry."

"Nah, it's fine. You're right, kiddo."

"That's what Hanna calls me," her eyes brightened at the name.

"Kiddo?"

"Yeah," She smiled again.

"Cool, kiddo. So, I was talking to Hanna,"

"Uh-oh."

"I think it'd be a good idea for you to talk to someone about your feelings."

"I'm talking to you."

"Wow, you're just like her."

"Who?"

"Hanna,"

"Yeah, well she is my sister."

"True, kiddo. Well, I think you should talk to a professional."
