Mackenzie just nodded mutely in agreement, the younger girl had a point. It was pretty pointless in the end to be violent, it had never really made her feel better in the long run, if anything it had caused more problems for her. Kia had once told her she needed to go the therapy but Mackenzie had scoffed at the idea, therapy meant sharing her feelings with some random person she didn’t know. There was no way in hell she would ever do that kind of thing, it would just end with her sitting quietly until her time was up. Punching things was as good a method as any, it was self soothing.

Hearing the redhead tell her that she wouldn’t let Kate get to her again made the blonde feel a little bit better, she was able to take a deep breath and relax her tensed muscles. She hadn’t realized how ridged her body had been as she clung to the girl but feeling all of that tension seep out of her made her realize how incredibly tired her body was now. Mackenzie slumped against the redhead a little, taking a few more deep breath to try and gain composure once again. She placed a soft kiss on the girl’s cheek, nuzzling in a little bit. She wasn’t sure what she would have done without Tatum here to reassure her and comfort her. It would have been a disaster. “Thank you T,” she croaked, her voice thick from crying. She squeezed the girl gently, her fingers slowly releasing from their death grip on the girls shirt and rubbing small circles in her back. “I-I love you. You…I just…I don’t know how to say it, but you’re amazing.”

She wanted so badly to let the girl take her back to the Rover and go home. This whole day had been incredibly exhausting and she was pretty sure she was going to sleep for several years after the whole thing was over. She wasn’t really sure what they were waiting for even, Kia had taken care of all the paper work and the funeral wasn’t going to be for several days. The only reason she had come was to be here for her mother, her brothers and for Kia. She wasn’t sure if she could face her mother again after what had happened, Kia would understand if she left and she had no idea where her brothers had gone off to.

She was about to agree that they should just go at this point when she heard the door to the door open and someone shuffle out. She hoped immensely that it was Kia, she trusted her sister to see her like this, but instead it was Hunter. Her body tensed up all over again, and she bit her lip as she felt her anger building inside of her again. Releasing the younger girl from her arms she straightened up, her hand finding the redheads almost instantly. There was no way she could hide the fact that she was crying from Hunter, and it was just going to have to be something she wore proudly. Puffing out her chest a bit, she stared at the other blonde, glaring slightly. “What do you want?” she asked, trying to keep her voice from wavering too much.
