Curing the Broken

comforting christina

Caroline and Daniel rush into Christina's house and up to Christina's room. They walked in to see Christina crying into Christopher's shoulder, while Christopher softly singing a song. The pair walked over to the others, Caroline sitting on the other side of Christina and Daniel next to Christopher. Christopher looks over at his little sister, then at Daniel. He smiles at them and whispers something into Christina's ear. Christina nodded, causing Christopher to stand up, he looks over at the pair and walks out. Christina lifts up her head, facing her best friend with tear stains and bloodshot eyes. Caroline quickly pulls Christina into a hug and softly rubbing her back.

"H-He b-broke u-up w-with m-me," Christina choked out.

Caroline sighs and looks over at Daniel. Daniel's eyes soften and he looks down. Caroline looks at him confused. He shakes his head, slowly standing up. Daniel walks over to Caroline placing a peck on her lips before walking out of the shared room. Caroline pulls away from the hug, looking at Christina, wiping her tears. Caroline smiled as an idea came into her head.

"I'll be right back," Caroline says.

She rushes out of their room and into the guest room. She sees her brother laying in bed, watching TV. She knocks on the door softly, catching her brother's attention. He turns off the TV and sits up, watching his sister walk over to the bed.

"So I was thinking," Caroline starts off, "maybe you should take Christina out to forget the breakup."

Caroline looks at her brother with hope. He quickly shakes his head 'no', thinking his sister's idea was stupid.

"Arrow, you're her best friend, why don't you take her out?" Christopher asks.

"Because I'm going to find out why Corbyn broke up with her. Come please, just for a couple hours," Caroline begs.

Christopher sighs and agrees. Caroline quickly hugs her brother.

"Be ready in thirty minutes," Caroline yells and rushes over to her shared room.

Christina looks up at her best friend, confused. Caroline just smiles quickly finding a comfy but cute outfit for Christina to wear.

"Go wash up and put this on. Chris is going to take you out because I'm going to go hang out with Dani," Caroline says, half lying.

Christina just nods and walks into the bathroom. While Caroline grabs her phone to texts Daniel.

Christina walks out of the bathroom and sits next to Caroline. Caroline looks over at her best friend and smiles.

"Chris is going to make you forget about that booty hole," Caroline says.

Christina giggles, causing Caroline to giggle too. The pair stops laughing when they see Chris leaning on the doorframe with his arms crossed over his chest, with a smile.

"You ready?" He asks the green eyed girl.

Christina nodded, quickly standing up, and hugging her best friend. She walks passed Christopher and stops when she notices he isn't following.

"You coming?" She asks.

"Yeah. Give me a sec with Caroline," he says and he watches Christina walk into the living room.

"Are you going to talk to Corbyn?" He asks his sister.

"Yeah. I mean I wanna know the meaning behind the sudden break up," Caroline says.

"I don't think you wanna know, Arrow," her brother says.

"I kind of do. He's already on his way over with Daniel," Caroline says.

Christopher huffs, rolling his eyes at his sister.

"I'll see you when we get back," Christopher says, kissing his younger sister's forehead and walking away.

Caroline sighs, worried that something is going to go wrong.
