The Other Dunlap Girl

007. - The Memorial

007. - The Memorial

Everything was happening so fast, Cassidy couldn't keep up. One minute they were on the stairwell with Cate, and the next Andre was running down the hallway with the seizing girl. Cassidy was so worried about Cate, she hasn't had a blackout like this in such a long time. Neither of the girls have had a blackout until recently, until they realized about the woods. Cassidy was struggling to catch up with Andre as he ran towards Cate's room and kicking the door open. He quickly put her down on her bed and begged the girl to wake up.

Cassidy just watched the scene unfold, she knew there wasn't much she could do for Cate. She just had to wait for the girl to wake up, it's all either of them could do. Suddenly the blonde girl jolted up and started panting for air. Cassidy ran to her sister's side, wanting to be there for the girl.

"Jesus fuck, are you okay?" Andre yelled out while helping Cate steady herself and calm down. Cassidy tried connecting with her sister, but Cate was already blocking her. It was like she was trying to hide something from the other girl.

"I'm fine, how long have I been out," Cate gasped out, looking between Cassidy and Andre. The boy kept rambling on, clearly stressed over the girl's status but she just kept reassuring him she was fine.

"Umm Cassidy, can you grab my pills from over there?" Cate asked as she pointed at some corner in her room. Cassidy quickly rushed over and searched for the pills, once she found them she handed them to Cate. Andre kept on ranting to Cate about how she pushed too many people and the girl bantered back with the boy.

"I think I'm gonna head back now that you're okay," Cassidy said before stumbling out of Cate's dorm. The sexual tension in the room from Andre was suffocating the empath. It was always something she would feel between the two, but this time it was so much stronger. Cassidy wanted to gag from how suffocating it was. As she was headed down to her dorm, she saw Marie sneaking back into hers. "Hey Marie, wait!" Cassidy yelled out to the girl before she could close the door behind her.

"Hey, what's up?" Marie asked, confused on why the girl was talking to her after everything that happened with Luke.

"I just wanted to see how you were holding up," Cassidy casually said as she followed Marie into her dorm. "I feel really bad about everything that's happened the last 48 hours, it's been really intense for everyone," she continued as she sat on the bed next to the girl.

"Wait, do you hear that?" Marie paused the girl, looking around her room to find the source of the barely audible noise.

"Marie, Cassidy, down here!!" the voice yelled out, but still barely audible for the girls to hear anything. The girls searched the room before Cassidy saw Emma peeking out from the leg of her desk. "I need food, please," the girl who was as tiny as an ant begged the girls. Marie ran towards Emma's mini fridge before grabbing the girl a 'Brave Maeve' bar.

All three girls sat around in a circle after Emma had eaten enough to be her regular size. Cassidy was quiet, not knowing what to say to either girls after everything she's been through today.

"So.. everytime, you eat to get big, and to get small" the girl asked, knowing what the answer would be.

"Yeah.. listen I'm really tired, I've been fighting off ants all night so..." Emma announced before looking from Cassidy to Marie.

"Oh yeah, no I can head out," Cassidy acknowledged, before grabbing her bag and heading towards the door.

"No, no, no, that's just a tiny bit fucked, isn't it," Marie countered, stopping Cassidy in her tracks as she slowly turned around to face both girls.
