~~Time skip to a couple days after you heal~~



"Okay, but i'm SO ready for this party! Aren't you guys as well?!" Tatum exclaimed as she put makeup on, totally distracted though.



"Hell yeah!" You scream, meanwhile Sidney just nods. All of you had decided to get ready at Tatum's house, and of course she was taking the longest. Had to look pretty for all the boys, of course (even though she has a boyfriend..).



"I'll be right back, I gotta head upstairs quick and finish my hair and go to the bathroom!" Tatum shouts as she runs up the stairs.



"We didn't need to know but thank you anyway" You snicker as you look over at Sidney, who had remained mostly silent.


"Hey, everything alright Sid?"




She looked over at you, "Huh? Oh uh .. not really. Honestly."





"Scared Billy is going to be there?"




She simply nodded, a verbal response wasn't needed. You totally got it, you were terrified as well.




"Hey, you know we'll be able to protect each other, right? I mean, we've both gone through the same shit." You speak softly as you slide closer to Sidney. She jumps a little, but doesn't move away.



"Yeah but .. since everything went down, I generally think people only use me to get information. What if that happens here?"





"Yeah, it might, that's when you stand up for yourself and say 'back the fuck off, i'm a strong woman and i don't need your advice on shit!'" You snicker, and so does Sidney.



You notice as a smile goes across her face. She actually looked happy for once. No forced smile, no faked happy mood, true joy. It put a smile on your face.



"You know, I never realized how close we could actually be."





"What do you mean by that Sid?"



"I'm not sure what I mean by it honestly .. I mean I see you as a friend don't get me wrong but .. I see us closer as well?"



"Yeah, I get where your going at. Your actually pretty cool. Cooler than someone like Stu anyway." Sidney snickers as you proceed to do a horrible impression of Stu. Was it bad? Yes. But did it make Sidney smile? Yes, and that's all that mattered.



"What's taking Tatum so long?"





"If you were listening, she said she was finishing her hair and going to the bathroom. Knowing her it's going to take a good half hour to an hour."



"Oh, yeah you have a point, she does take forever doesn't she?"




"Mhm."
