"Oh snap!" Elise said excitedly, clasping her hands together. "Come on Rosa! Stop being such a sap. Get out ya feelings!" Lehlani nudged her shoulder lightly with a grin and Rosa returned it slowly.
"There we go, baby. You know what I think? We need to have a little song break!" Victoria spoke up. All of the girls shared knowing glances and waited for Rosa to start off the song they had been singing together since they were teens.
"We are sisters. We stick together." Rosa sang quietly, looking at the circle of girls. "We make up one big family though we don't look the same, our spots are different. Different colors." Lehlani sang this time, continuing the song.
"We make each other stronger, that ain't ever gonna change." Elisa piped up, her voice ringing out. "Believe it mister! Cheetah girls, cheetah sisters!" Victoria sang the last part, the high note coming out perfectly and a wide smile on everyone's face.
"We're so damn corny! I hate us man, I swear. What group of women sing a Disney movie song in public?"
**************
There is no doubt that with a little bending, any bond can break. This holds true for a group of women who have all seen their fair share of troubles. They've told each other things that couldn't even be murmured outside of their circle. But as time passes, life isn't always as "nice" as it was and soon, relationships are tested.
These women are old enough to know that they may not be best friends forever but that won't stop them from holding on to each other as if they will be. The question is, how much can you trust your friend? How long can you hold a secret? What will it take to break a friendship? And how far are you willing to go to hold on to your "sister"?
