It Was Fate

An extra blanket

~Karlies POV~
I wake up to see Kade asleep on the other side of the room, shivering. I feel bad, so I walk over to him and give him both of my blankets and pillows. He's huddled in a fetal position. He's usually always up before me... I wonder what he was doing up so late.

As I go to walk out of the cell I hear a very familiar raspy voice come from behind me. "Morning Karlie." "Morning Kade." I say back. " so.....are you ok? You usually never sleep this late.. I mean I do but you don't." "Oh.... Uh yeah I'm fine I was just up late last night." "How long did you stay up until?" I ask. " maybe around 12-1ish." " you never stay up that late! What were you doing that made you stay up until 1 am?" I ask curiously. He replies slowly. "I was thinking.." "About what? Because you must've had a lot to think about." "Yeah, I did Karlie....." There's an unusual silence between us after he says that. A guard breaks the silence as they bring our breakfast to us. I had ordered waffles with blueberries, but instead on my plate was a piece of vanilla cake with white frosting and words that said Happy Birthday Karlie on it. It's nice of them to do that for us.... Even if we are in a mental hospital.. Kade comes over and looks at my breakfast... Obviously jealous. " hey, that's no fair" he says sounding just like a little kid. " hey you never told me it was your birthday Karlie."he says. " well it's not really a big deal to me I guess... Age is just a number..." I say quietly. " now I have to get you a present Karlie." He says with a smile on his face. " no, you don't have to do that... It's really not that big of a deal." I say embarrassed. "Yes it is Karlie, it may not be to you but it is to me, and I am getting you a present whether you like it or not." He says frowning. "But then I will want to get you something because I will feel b-" he cuts me off by putting his finger over my lips. "Please Karlie, will you just let me get you something?" "Fine." I say pouting. He laughs and starts walking away. "Where are you going?" I ask. "To go get your present." I blush. I try to stop him but before I can say anything he's already gone.

....30 minutes later...

"Hey Karlie I'm back." He says happily. " cool, but you didn't need to get me anything.... Really." I say. " oh just open it." He says rolling his eyes.
I open the rainbow colored bag to see a fuzzy blanket with flowers on it. " that's so you don't have to steal mine anymore." He says chuckling. "But if you don't like it you can always take it back....." He says bowing his head. I start to laugh. "What?" He says. I don't respond because I'm too busy laughing. I finally settle down and I say " thank you I love it.........but this doesn't mean I'm not taking your blanket."
