she's still glaring at him and swears under her breath. jay was a dead man the next time she saw him. definitely a dead man. she allows them to lead her to the dunk tank, a pout on her face. it was all in the name of charity and she knows her mother would be proud of her. at least she hopes. "fuck you, jay! traitor!" she screams out to his retreating back.

the message is sending and the look on her face is a mix between irritation and sadness. how things ended up like this, penelope doesn't know. all she knows is that she's waiting for someone who doesn't care much for her anymore, but she doesn't let go. not yet.

she chuckled to herself as her eyes glance over to the other with a mischievous gleam. "were you going to tell me? i went to such an extent because you're my best friend and milk buddy. today is a day to show appreciation without it being random and odd."

she's hunched over as the other tackles her, letting out a laugh. "elena! i love you just as much~" a big smile is on her face while she adjusts the headband. soon enough her gift is brought out of the dark. she hands the silver ring and chain to the female with confidence."thank you for the gift, i hope you enjoy mine also." her cheeks are slowly turning red and she tsks at her friend. "i'm sure that goes for you as well, elena." 

she laughed quietly at the description of phelix. the look on his face when he heard that would of been priceless and penelope wished she could see the actual thing. "that's what they all say." she said half jokingly, rolling her eyes at the female before wrapping her arms around her as well. "we should catch up on things, don't you think so?"

"ah, so it was you. well, i'll take the friendship gladly." she stares at him with a deadpanned expression. "i'm not sure if i'm insulted or grateful. thanks, jay."

she accepted the carton with a small smile. penelope hadn't seen elena in a while and it made her feel glad that the other hadn't forgotten her. yet the warm feeling was replaced with one of emptiness. her brother seemed to be a hot topic in elias and she didn't doubt why. he was always infectious, just like the girl in front of her. "ah. he's my half brother and there isn't much to talk about when it comes to him, elena. sorry for not informing you about him-- i'm assuming you met him already?" 

 the hospital always freaked her out and she was glad that kaiden was coming to keep her company despite the small meltdown she had in front of him in the music room. "it's nothing major." she lied with ease, biting her lower lip. "the room is 144. come by when you can, okay?" her voice was cheerful and penelope hoped that he would believe her. she removed the phone from her ear before ending the call with a single tap, leaning back against the pillows resting on the bed. her fainting attacks were becoming more aggressive and it scared penelope to death. she pulled her knees closer as her chin rested upon them. "i'll be okay." she reassured herself with a faint smile, her thoughts saying otherwise.
