You arrived at the mall with Monica and Carol singing a dumb song that you guys thought of in the car when all of a sudden you stop and your smile fades. They don't notice at first but when Carol does she stops singing also and ask you what's wrong.

"I just remembered I don't have any money." You say as you stop walking. "How will I pay you back?" you start to bite your nails, a old nervous habit you recently picked up again. Carol looks at you and tilts her head, taking you hands from you mouth she smiles softly at you.

"Y/N, I don't expect you to pay me back. I know you have no money right now and I suggested this anyways. Because I care about you and I want you to feel, I don't know. Cared for?" Carol says, suddenly becoming nervous. You're taken back, it isn't like her to be nervous and Monica catches on to.

"Y/N and Aunt Carol sittin' in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Monica starts to sing before she's cut off by a hand over her mouth, that hand belonging to Carol. Monica licks the hand and Carol pulls away, disgusted. Monica laughs and runs off into the mall while you and Carol chase after her.

'Maybe this will be a good day' you think as you are chasing them, smiling at the laughs of Monica as Carol swoops her up and spins her around.

*Two Hours later*


Your arms are full of bags as you go to the food court. You enter and Monica runs off to get in line at Panda Express. As soon as you enter you're hit with smells and sounds all over the place, you feel nauseous and grab onto Carol for support. Swaying ever so slightly she takes you to a table and sits you in a chair. Taking the bags from you arms and putting them on the floor, she looks at you to gauge your reaction to the sounds, lights and smells. You feel as if your senses are going to explode, there's too many smells, too many lights, too many voices, the cool of the table along with the stickiness that feels like blood is what sets you off.

"I have to get out of here. I need to leave. Now." You whisper as you stand up and start pacing. Carol takes your face and guides your eyes to her. You see her lips moving and you can barely make out what she's saying. She's asking you where you want to go? "Quiet." You get out before you cover your ears and close your eyes tightly. You feel Carol pick up the bags in her arms and then give some to Monica. Then Carol picks you up while you're still covering your ears and closing your eyes. The next thing you feel is the cool air on your skin, you open your eyes and see the parking lot, but you don't uncover your ears.

Carol sits you in the car and closes the door, only then do you finally uncover your ears. you look at her and buckle your seat belt. "I'm sorry." You say as tears choke up in your eyes. Carol looks at you and brings her hand to wipe the few tears that have fallen.

"It's okay darling. Sometimes we just need a break. Do you want to go home now?" Carol ask you while giving you a reassuring smile. You nod and she takes your hand and squeezes it. She let's go and immediately you miss her warmth.

She drives you home and ask if you are able to walk to the house, you nod and unbuckle. Getting out of the car, you ask if she needs help with the bags, to which she declines. You nod and head inside. After getting inside you go straight to your bedroom and lay down.

Carol walks in with the bags a few seconds after, you acknowledge her and go back to staring at the celling. She walks over to your bed and takes off your shoes, and then sits you up so she can take off you jacket. You smile appreciatively up at her and she smiles back at you. Climbing into your bed with you she turns over to looks at you. You guys make eye contact and you blush, sneaking a quick look down at her lips. You apparently weren't quick enough because next thing you know she's kissing you.

"Wow." She whispers after she lets you go. You are speechless, she starts to get up off the bed to let you rest but you grab her hand.

"Stay." You plead quietly up at her while still holding onto her. She smiles down at you and sits back on the bed. Taking off her shoes and her jacket, she lays back down next to you. She brushes a strand of hair out of your face and closes her eyes. You fall asleep not shortly after that, with Carol in your arms and feeling content.
