The blonde felt the weight on her heart lift a little bit when she saw Kia and Tatum round the corner, a small smile forming on her lips. She left her sunglasses on but gave them a little wave as they approached. She didn’t want either of them to see how red her eyes probably were, it was just too much exposure for one day. Nodding to her sister as she shot Mackenzie a concerned look, she waited for her sister to finish whatever it was that she was saying to the younger girl and make her way back into the room before pushing off the wall and shuffling a few feet towards the redhead.

Mackenzie almost felt the tears start flowing again as she watched the redhead run to her, and wrap her arms around her. It made her heart swell with happiness to know that Tatum had missed her almost as much as she had missed the redhead. She was starting to feel a little bit better already, although she still felt incredibly raw and vulnerable. It was okay though, especially with Tatum pressed up against her the way she was, she felt safe again. Wrapping her arms around the girls shoulders and doing her best not to sniffle a little bit, she squeezed the redhead. “Y-yeah I’m okay,” She said hoarsely, attempting to sound convincing. Her voice was rough from her break down earlier, and she sounded like there was gravel in her throat. She cleared it a few times before speaking again, “How was things with Kia? She didn’t like, say anything to offend you, right?”

She had dropped her bad hand to her side, running it down Tatum’s back before the redhead tangled their fingers together and squeezed. She had almost forgot that she had worked her hand over so badly until she felt a shooting pain up her arm, jerking slightly in surprise. Hissing in pain, she buried her face in the redhead’s hair, a few stray tears leaking from her eyes. She knew that Tatum was going to scold her for not fixing it, she had her wand poking out of her back pocket after all but Mackenzie hadn’t really thought about it when it had happened. The way the blonde figured, it would be a distraction from the anger that would most certainly return once they entered the hospital room again. If her hand hurt, she could focus on the pain instead, it would help her keep control.

“S-sorry,” She mumbled, rubbing her thumb over the girl’s hand. She was sure that it had startled the redhead the way she had jerked, and she didn’t want to Tatum to think that she didn’t want the contact they had right then. “I…hurt my hand while you were gone. You just surprised me.”
