Lost and Found ❁ Malia Tate [2]

04;

Intoxicated

Lydia, Mara, and Malia had all agreed that as long as no one asked what happened, Carter wouldn't say anything. They could just have a fun night with the girls, and Carter could come clean some other time.

Surprisingly, Kira and Carter were actually getting along a lot better than the others would have thought. (Then again they didn't know about Kat's little peacekeeper advice.)

Lydia was talking to Kira about shoes while downing the last of her glass, Mara was looking at her phone in both fear and disgust, and Malia was watching as Carter downed her third glass.

"We should watch a movie." Carter offered, jumping up from the couch. She let out a groan and held her shoulder, having jostled it too hard. "Ow. I forgot about this. Hey, Malia help me."

Malia let out a sigh and pushed herself up off the couch and poured Carter another glass, shaking her head slightly. She still wasn't exactly sure how she felt about letting her get drunk, but she smelled happy and content, so it eased her nervousness.

"I hate this sling." She announced, letting out a huff of air. "I really hate it."

"What happened anyways?" Kira asked, all the other girls turning to stare at her.

"Another story for another time-"

"Actually, it's kind of a funny story. Well, not really, but I'll tell you anyways." She laughed, grabbing her glass and sitting on the floor. "So, I'm a hunter, right? Yeah, I am. Anyways, we have this code where if you get bit by a werewolf, you're pretty much dead. But that comes later."

"Anyways, I have this little sister, she's like thirteen. My mom thought it would be a good idea to bring her hunting with us." Lydia looked over at Malia with wide eyes, but the girl returning the favor. "Naturally, she gets bit, because I didn't push hard enough to make her stay home."

Carter's voice broke slightly, but she cleared her throat anyways and took a drink from her glass.

"So we had to do this stupid ceremony, and instead of standing there like I was supposed to, I jumped in front of the bullet. Not that it mattered, because Jade is dead anyways, so I got shot for nothing. Even though it should have been me." She brought the wine glass to her lips, but Malia took it from her hand carefully.

"You don't need that anymore." She whispered, helping her up off the ground. They all sat in an uncomfortable silence, not even Mara knowing that Carter wanted to get shot instead of jade. "Let's get you to bed, alright? We'll have a sleepover."

"Mm." Carter nodded, letting Malia guide her down the hall, her uninjured arm waving at the others. Once they hit Lydia' room Carter started to hum to herself, letting her help her into the bed. "You're always taking care of me, you know that? I love it when you take care of me."

"Mmhmm."

"You wanna know a secret?" Carter yawned, snuggling deeper into the pillows.

"I think we've had enough secrets for tonight." Malia replied quietly, shaking her head and starting towards the door. She was about to turn off the light when Carter's voice made her freeze.

"I think I'm falling in love with Malia."
