"Is Shauna still in the shed?"
"It's freezing outside," Natalie comments, her energy low from the lack of food. She was practically leaning all her body weight on Veronica, but she didn't mind. She wrapped her arm around Natalie's waist, making the blonde smile. 
"Well then, maybe one of you should go out there and get her," Coach comments. 
Veronica watched as Taissa was heading towards the door, only to be stopped by Lottie. 

"Don't. She'll come in when she's ready."
"She's not in there doing homework or some shit Lott. Besides, that's what you said last time and look what happened," Veronica comments. 
"She's processing, I think it's healthy,"
"So healthy,' Natalie begins, her voice laced with sarcasm. "Every one who's seven months pregnant should risk getting pneumonia by staying up half the night chatting with their dead best friend,"
Misty scoffs, "It's not fair, we're always waiting for her," 

"Well, maybe we should eat hers tonight. That'll get her to move her ass," Mari says, Veronica rolls her eyes. 
"Oh yeah, terrific idea, Mari, starve the pregnant lady," 
"She wouldn't starve, we all know you've been giving her your food, Veronica," 
Veronica doesn't reply, avoiding the stare Natalie was giving her.
"No one is eating Shauna's food!" Taissa interrupts.
"No one's eating Shauna's share," Lottie confirms. 
Natalie holds Veronica tighter, resting her head on Veronica's shoulder. Veronica smiles, kissing the girls forehead. 

"Okay, who reeks?" Taissa asks.
"We all do," Van defends.
"Yeah, but this is like next level."
Everyone looks around, Taissa groaning as she looked in the pee bucket.

"Are you fucking serious? Who took a shit in the pee bucket?"
Natalie cringes in disgust, "Come on you guys, we made a rule. If it's yellow, it can mellow. If it's brown, fucking do it outside! Just fess up! Who was it?"
"Does it look like a girl poo or you know... A boy one?" Misty asks.
"What? That's definitely not a thing,"
"Seriously? You all need to grow up," Taissa snaps. "Whoever did it, just admit it and then go throw it out,"
Everyone just looks at each other, no one saying anything. "Oh for fuck's sakes! I'll do it!"
Taissa grabs the bucket, marching for the door, but pausing in annoyance.

"Where is the other lantern?"
"Akilah had it yesterday,"
"I put it back Misty,"
"Oh my god. You're all a literal shit show. Don't let anyone eat mine,"

Veronica sat outside, a blanket and Natalie's leather jacket was fighting off the cold air. Veronica shakily held the smoke in her hand, really trying to savor what she had left of her stash. 
Natalie walks out a few moments later, sitting beside Veronica, snuggling up close. 
Veronica takes another puff, Natalie grabs her chin, joining their lips, allowing the smoke that was in Veronica's mouth to blow into Natalie's. 

Veronica chuckles as they pull apart, handing it to Natalie. 
"You could have just asked for some, love," 
She shrugs, "I like my way better," 
Veronica takes it back when she passes it, putting it out on the bottom of her shoe before putting what remained back in the box. 

"I can't believe how well you've rationed those things," 
Veronica smiles, "Yeah, well I had practice from when I had to smuggle them into bible camp," 
"Bible camp?" Natalie laughs. 
"Oh yeah, every summer," 
"That sounds..."
"Fucking terrible? Yeah, it was. I mean, I don't judge people for following that religion, it's just, not for me," 
Natalie nods, snuggling closer. 

"Hey, are you okay?" 
"Why wouldn't I be?" 
"You've just been very...clingy today," 
Natalie sits up, "Sorry, is it too much?" 
Veronica shakes her head quickly, "No, no, I don't mind at all. It's kinda cute," 
Natalie blushes, "Shut up," 
"You're just like a lil puppy, I think you've gone a bit soft, Nat" she jokes.
Natalie playfully rolls her eyes, "Says you, Howard. Little miss 'I hate physical affection' has been giving out a lot of hugs and shoulder pats lately,"
