We need to talk.

*Small tw*

I quietly get out of bed and put my shoes on, I sneak out of the front door and sit on the porch.

"Can't sleep?"

"Oh my God I didn't see you there!" I quietly yell at Claudia.

"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you! But what are you doing out here?" She asks concerned.

"I don't know..I just thought I'd clear my head.." I say looking up at the sky.

"Well..I know I don't know you that well because we never really got a chance to get close but I promise I'm a good listener.." She suggests.

"I don't know if you would understand Claudia.." I say truthfully.

"Hey I might not...But I'm willing to try..I'm here for you.." She smiles.

I sigh. "Well...a friend of mine..Is in a situation because her significant other wants her to go out of town with them..For a few months to even a year. And you see that's kind of an issue because she has a friend that doesn't want her to go. So in a way she has to choose between her best friend or her lover..." I try to explain blandly.

"Oh hmm, and why does this have you up?" Claudia asks slowly putting the pieces together.

"Well because...She's a really good friend of mine..aanndd I want to give her the..Right..Advice on what to do. But the truth is I don't think I would even know what to do if I were in that situation." I try to derail any assumptions she might be making.

"Well..You should tell your..Friend..That if her friend was a true one then they would have no issue with her spending time with someone she cares equally about, and if your..Friend spent time with her friend before she left, I don't see why there would be an issue, her friend has every right to be sad or even miss her but her friend can not control her like that. It's not fair." Claudia says.

Honestly what she's saying makes a lot of sense and it's a very mature way to look at things.

"Wow...You're very right." I say realizing that Kit has no control over me like that. She isn't my mom.

"Come here." Claudia says patting the seat next to her.

I do as she said and she wraps her arms around me and hugs me...I needed this. A hug, a real hug wow. If I had a loving mom this is exactly how I imagine her hugs would have been. I feel my eyes getting heavy and the next thing I know..I'm asleep.

Billie woke up and noticed that Allison wasn't there with her, she got up and looked all around the house. With no luck so she checks Finneas's room "Hey Finn have you seen Allison?" Billie quietly asks.

"No. Have you seen Claudia?" Finn asks her.

"Nope." Billie says.

Finneas gets up and looks around before opening up the front door. "Hey Bill I found them." He whispers. Billie walks over and sees Allison curled up in Claudia's arms as they're both asleep.

"Oh my God I need a picture of this." Finneas says grabbing his phone.

"Me too." Billie says smiling as she grabs out her phone and snaps a picture also.

"Should we wake them up?" Finneas asks.

"Probably, it looks like Allison is about to fall off" Billie giggles.

"Alright. Hey Claudia Allison wake up its 8a.m" Finneas says waking the girls up.

"Oh my God did we fall asleep? I'm so sorry Finneas." Claudia say rubbing her eyes.
