Helena put the last of the dirty dishes into the washer as Catherine approached her, Laney turned to her smiling but it slightly dropped noticing her expression.
"There's someone at the door for you" Cathy said nervously, "i can ask her to leave if you want"
"No, no" Laney shook her head, "it's okay" She smiled, squeezing her arm as she passed. Helena sighed before approaching the door.
"Hey" Harper shifted nervously, "sorry for turning up, i tried texting but-"
"Yeah sorry uh my phones off" Laney shrugged, lying through her teeth but Harper didn't need to know that.
"Do you wan- do you wanna come down the pier?" Harper asked, smiling slightly when Helena nodded her head.
The two girls rode their bikes in silence, letting them fall to the ground in sync as they reached it. They both sat side by side, gazing towards the now setting sun.
"Why did you come there?" Helena finally asked, playing with the rings on her fingers.
Harper looked at her and shrugged, "I never got to speak to you properly earlier, felt like the right time"
Laney scoffed slightly, refusing to look at her. "A little too late, no?"
"I'm sorry Helena" Harper fully turned to face her now, "i'm so fucking sorry"
"Don't be" Laney looked at her for a second, "shit happens, it's life"
"It shouldn't be ours though" Harper replied, "i didn't mean for this to happen" she motioned between them.
"Then why did you want us separated?" Laney turned to her, her eyes wide, "i didn't even get a say in that decision"
"This is Catherine and Howard, you'll be staying with them for a little while" Jonathan, her social worker smiled as Helena met the couple.
"We're so happy to have to here" Howard smiled as Catherine squeezed his hand.
"We'll have so much fun" Catherine grinned, Helena learned eventually that they couldn't have kids so they've been fostering since they were 30.
"And Harper?" Laney looked up at Jonathan, who shook his head.
"She's with a different case worker, i thought you knew?"
"What does that mean?" Laney watched as his expression faltered, "Jon what does that mean?" she asked again, ignoring the awkward shifting of Cathy and Howie.
"She's...she's staying somewhere else Laney" He smiled sadly down at her.
"You didn't even tell me" Laney leaned back on her hands, swinging her legs, "especially after the festival....i was so worried Harps, and then you just ghost me completely"
"I just needed space" Harper leaned forward, holding onto her shoulders, "i was being selfish and didn't think of you Lanes"
"Clearly" Helena rolled her eyes, sighing when she saw the hurt on her sisters face, "You're my twin Harper, it's always been you and me....and now it's not"
"It still can be" Harper squeezed her shoulders, "please, i just miss you" giving her a sad face.
"I missed you too" Helena sighed, "but we're never gonna be what we were before"
"I want to try" Harper rushed out, "i really want to try Helena"
Helena looked at her, pulling her into a hug as quickly as she could. Harper sighed, relaxing instantly into her arms, both of them just watching the sun set.
"It's you and me" Harper pulled back, looking down at her, "always forever, i promise" She held out her pinky which Laney linked to instantly.
"Better be" She grinned, pushing her back before her hand flew to Harpers hair and rubbed her head. Harper pushed her hand away laughing, "What? I like it, it's pretty sick"
"Thanks" Harper stuck out her tongue, "what time do you've to be back?"
Laney took out her phone, seeing she already had a few missed calls from Cathy and texts from Howie.
"Probably now" Laney smiled, showing the phone to her. "Cmon"
Harper let Laney pull her up, smiling as she read the texts. "She really cares about you aye?"
"Yeah" Helena nodded as she picked up her bike, "they're pretty awesome"
"Well better than mine" Harper rolled her eyes, "i've got religious freaks"
"Karma for wanting to be separated" Laney grinned, dodging the slap Harper sent her way as she hopped on the bike, "Bye cunt!" She yelled out as she cycled back to the house.
