Emma finished cleaning up Ruby's face as best she could and tossed the wet-wipe away. She pulled the other girl closer so she was sitting on her lap again and brushed the hair out of her face. Inside, Emma was a mess. Marney was taking the blame for something she did, something much more serious than stealing from the 7-11 or drinking underage. She had killed someone in cold blood, and even though the concept made Emma want to cry, she didn't regret her actions one bit.
"Sh, Ru, it's going to be okay." she cooed, leaning forward and peppering Ruby's face with soft kisses. She had to be strong for Ruby, it was her job to protect her now that Mars was gone. "We're going to tell them we were down here the whole time, okay? We weren't even at that party. No one will rat us out to the cops, not with the amount of shit we have on them. Plus, you're in charge now, babe, they aren't going to mess with you, I won't let them."
She hadn't meant to let that small term of endearment slip, it had just fell out. As much as Emma's mind protested that Ruby was hers, it wasn't exactly true. Best friends were different than the girl you were in love with, right? She coughed awkwardly, and loosened the tight grip that she had on Ruby to search her pockets for another joint to try and mask her embarrassment.
"Sorry," she muttered again, a blush creeping onto her cheeks. Perhaps Marney had been right, and it was only now that she was realizing exactly why their older sister had been teasing her so diligently all those years. "I shouldn't call you that."
