The following morning YingYue had awoken with a headache. But it was not a headache she associated to alcohol. No it had been from the thinking she had spent the majority of the night doing. She had barely slept after the information thrust upon her the night before and she just knew she had to talk it through with the girl.

Therefore, she found herself stood outside of Jing's house at 10am that morning a bag of junk food in her hand and the strong urge to cry already taking over. 

Her fingers pressed rapidly against the call button on the outside of the door. Four, five, six times before the door was hastily thrown open by the very person she wanted to see. 

"You owe me an explanation." The younger girl found herself stating as she was quickly let into the house and directed to the older girl's bedroom. 

Settling herself onto the bed, she truly didn't know where to start. And she was sure she had never felt this awkward in this room before. The looming dread of the conversation held over the two as neither spoke. YingYue could only watch as Jing cast her eyes over her and refused to open her mouth.

"Why didn't you tell me?" YingYue spoke quietly, the words of which sounded as loud as thunder in such a desolate space. 

"I thought we told each other everything. That's what best friends are meant to do. We're meant to help each other through everything and have no secrets. But you kept this from me Jing. You kept one of the most important decisions of your life from me. And you just expect me to be okay about it. " She could only watch as the older girl remained quiet.

"You know I would have supported you. I would have helped you practice what you wanted to say. I would have stood there with you as you told everyone. So why Jing? Why wouldn't you tell me?" The younger girl continued as her voice broke and the tears which had gathered in her eyes before she had even arrived at the house began to fall. 

"It was meant to be me and you against the world. You're like my older sister and you not telling me, makes me feel like you couldn't trust me. Do you not trust me?" YingYue could no longer look at the girl she wished was actually her sister. Instead casting her eyes down to her hand as she played with the ring which sat on her left ring finger. 

The silence soon returned to the room as the cogs in both girls heads began to turn. YingYue didn't know if she wanted to stay there anymore. She felt as though the world was crashing down around her and she just wanted to get home. 

"YeYe it was never meant to be like that." Came Jing's voice as the elder girl reached out to hold the younger girls hand. 

"I just didn't know what words to use for any of it. I thought perhaps it would be easier to just tell everyone at once when I didn't have to overly think about the different ways to phrase something. But the real truth is that I wanted to be selfish and enjoy our time together as if there wasn't this massive thing looming over us. I wanted to be truly happy and carefree in our last moments." YingYue found herself clasping onto Jing's hands tighter

"I didn't want it to pan out like this. I just wanted to spend our time together happily making memories which would fill the time we will be apart. Good things to look back on when I feel homesick and I miss my little sister." And before both girls knew it they were in each other's arms. 

"I can't believe I only just got you back and you're leaving again. You just have to have these big beautiful plans that lead you all over the world." YingYue spoke though her words were muffled by the way her head was pushed into Jing's shoulder. 

"Just promise me you'll be there to see me off?" Jing spoke as she held on tight to the younger girl who was on her way out of the door.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world."

I know this is short and I'm sorry I just wanted to write a little chapter between my brotp before caring on with the actual show.
