          MACKENZIE LAY CURLED up on the couch, some cheesy movie playing in the background though she was only half paying attention. it seemed as if they were all fighting some inner demons after that battle, and after the shit they’d seen, she could hardly blame them. nudging her youngest sister’s shoulder with her own, there’s a soft expression that settled on her features as she watched her. ❝ c’mon, kiddo, talk to me. how’re you feeling ? you can’t shut me out like this. i can’t help you out if you don’t talk to me. ❞ that’s what she was best at, after all, being the listening ear for her siblings.     /     @scgarcoated.

          SMILE WIDENS AT THE sight of the girl, one of few familiar faces within town. ronnie’s friendship with seth had led to their own unlikely friendship, but the girl’s flirtatious statements were harmless and serena had come to enjoy her company, regardless. when she’d heard about what had happened at the safe house, she had, of course, been very concerned for the human, which is how she’d found herself on the front porch of the scott residence, hands knocking gently on the front door. the hybrid rocked back and forth on the ball of her feet, waiting for someone to answer the door. when her familiar face appeared on the other side of the door, an easy smile settled on her lips. ❝ feeling up to some company ? i brought snacks. ❞     /     @scgarcoated.

          HANDS CUP HER sister’s face in her hands, serious expression replacing the usually lighthearted one she wore for her siblings. gone was everyday mackenzie, replaced by protective big sister mackenzie. ❝ of course i’ll stay, ❞ and her heart broke at the statement, arms shifting to pull ronnie into a tight hug against her chest, next words soft against the temple of her head. ❝ i’ll stay as long as you need me to. ❞ followed by a chaste kiss, a soft promise of reassurance.
