"Tiffany's New Doll" (Chucky Series - Tiffany x Nica)

Chapter VII

-Maybe take a seat. - she suggested.
-All good. I'm fine. - declared the second woman. - It's just nerves, that's all. - there was a long moment of silence, which was broken by Tiff - Thank you for standing up for me. Does that mean that maybe you don't hate me in some small way?
-You know the answer to this question well.
-So why did you do it?
-Because he treated you unfairly. He hurt you too, Tiffany.
-Thank you for your words. Your presence here with me makes me so happy. - the woman wanted to add something else, but then Nica hugged her without a word.
-Do not worry about him. Not worth it. - Tiffany snuggled closer to the girl.
-It's sad, what he did to your mom. And you.
Nica pursed her lips, but still didn't let go of Tiffany.
-If it weren't for Chucky, she would still be alive... - she whispered. After a moment, she realized she was still hugging Tiffany, so she quickly pulled away. - I want to be alone for a while. - she said and moved towards her room.

Tiffany knocked on Nica's bedroom. She hadn't seen her for several hours and she was already tired of being alone. She found her lying in bed in a state of collapse. The girl looked at the blonde out of the corner of her eye.
-I see you were crying. Your makeup is all smeared. - said the younger of them. Without a word, Tiff sat down on the corner of the bed. - Betrayal hurts, I understand.
-Will you come for dinner?
-I'm not hungry.
-Do you want to drink?
-I do not want.
-You don't want my presence now, do you?
-Actually, I've never needed her as much as I do now.
Nica turned towards her and Tiffany sat behind her and started combing her hair.
-You know... you have beautiful hair, Nica.
-Why are you doing that?
-To calm down. Your presence makes me forget about what worries me - she said and then brought them both dinner. Nica ate her meal very quickly.
-You said you weren't hungry.
-But they are tasty... - she replied with her mouth full, and Tiff raised the corners of her mouth.
-Do you really like them?
-They are perfect.
Tiffany smiled, and that made Nica smile too. Then they changed the subject and started telling each other about other things in their lives. At the end, they both even started laughing.
-Do you feel happy now? - Tiff asked, looking deep into her eyes. Then Nica became sad.
-No. I don't know. I will probably never experience happiness in my life again.
-What can I do to make you happy?
-I'm afraid nothing. Unless you bring me back my family.
-I know it's not the same, but you have me.
-Yeah, great. A madwoman who cut off my limbs. A great choice. - she said ironically. -Sorry. I'll fix it.
-How? - she snorted.
-And when the two of us live together and you're free and I buy you some better dentures, will you be happy then? Will you stop hating me?
-Why do you care so much about it?
-Because I love you, you make me happy, I want to give you the same. What can I do to make you hate me even less?
-Do you have any cigarette? I haven't smoked in a long time.

Tiffany took her to the balcony and they smoked together. The night was warm and there was a pleasant wind. The moon and stars were visible in the sky. Nica was looking somewhere deep in thought. Tiff thought about the sentence she wanted to tell her.
-Ever since we met, I've always wanted to see your sincere smile. And not the ironic one I know well, not Chucky's, not the one when you pretended to be him, but your own, sincere laugh. And today I finally saw him. Is beautiful.
-Um... Thanks, Tiff. - there was a short moment of silence - Tiffany? Why do you keep trying even though I say I hate you?
-You know... Because the more I try, the less you hate me. Maybe someday I'll be able to fix what I messed up.
-I think... you're on the right track - she said and kissed her. The wind blew the hair of both women left and right and they continued to kiss for a long time. Afterwards, they both burst into mad laughter and she ended up hugging each other.
-Well, at least we have each other. - Nica said, putting her head on her shoulder. - I hate you, but you are all I have, all I have left in my life.
Suddenly there was a bang and a knife flew between Nica and Tiffany and bounced off the balcony floor.
-I fucking missed it! - Chucky shouted.
-What are you doing?!
-I'm trying to kill you, but you can't see? - he shouted and started running towards them with another sharp knife. Then something unexpected happened. Tiffany threw Nica off a ninth-story balcony.
