"Well, Elle is my little sister and Henry is Rick's older brother."
He sat up and played with his hospital gown,
"I don't have a-any brothers or s-sisters...what's it like?"
Rick leaned over a little grinning as he spoke in a more gentle tone.
"It's different for everyone but for my case I would say that even though I'm the little brother I'm always looking after him, he always gets in trouble and can be really clumsy."
"I guess it was pretty good for me too, my sister and I were pretty close when we were little but as the years went by we drifted apart a little, maybe it was my fault and maybe I did something wrong without knowing but she doesn't really like me now but whether she does or doesn't I'm still her big sister and if she needed me...I'd be there for her no matter what."
Pip looked between the two of them, his eyes were brighter now as he listened to their thoughts on siblings, he questioned Sera.
"Why doesn't s-she like you?"
"I'm not exactly sure how it started, I never really noticed until...until our dad went to heaven. She and I were so close before but it's okay. Even if she doesn't like me we are sisters and I love her and now...all I want to do is say that I'm sorry Elle, for everything."
"I forgive you Sera, I'm sorry too."
Elle walked out from behind the curtain, her hair braided down her shoulders and her eyes welled up with tears, she looked pretty even as her cheeks got red.
She walked towards her and sat on her bed, they all waited unsure and completely still.
"I still hate that it's always about you, I hate how I get forgotten and sometimes I wish I wasn't your sister but...you are. I can't forget how you make me feel and I can't be all sisterly now but I can forgive you."
Arms circled around Elle as she found Sera hugging her, the hug lasted for several seconds before they pulled away from each other. Meanwhile Pip decided to scurry under his blankets and watch from there, Sera chuckled.
"It's okay Pip, this is Elle and she's not as bad as she looks!"
"Hey!"
His head popped out from under the blanket and Rick offered him a sweet similar to the one he gave Sera, he took it with a great grin on his face.
"Nice to meet you by the Elle, I'm Rick."
She shook his hand,
"You too."
"I didn't think you'd come back..."
Sera looked into her eyes, beautiful like sapphires.
"I wasn't going to but I changed my mind."
Elle grinned at Sera before seeing her thin arms and shaking her head,
"Do they actually feed you here? You're almost skin on bones!"
"Still pretty though."
They both snapped their heads to Rick who cleared his throat, his cheeks glowing red.
