When the redhead met her gaze she felt a flicker of hope in her chest, maybe things could be normal between them again. She wasn't sure because of the darkness, but she could have sworn that the redhead was blushing as she looked away. There were too many emotions that had flickered through that brief eye contact that Mackenzie couldn't even begin to figure out what it all meant.

"Y-yeah," Mackenzie's voice cracked as she glanced at Bekka's bed. She hadn't heard anything about Bekka's parents but she wondered if they were worse off then Craig. Honestly, it hurt that she was being banished to the spare bed in the room. "I heard they might have found her parents too?"

She was so angry at herself for ruining one of the only good thing's she had going for her. If she hadn't opened her big mouth things would have been different right now, she would have been on Tatum's bed. They'd probably be touching knee's or something, they alway's had some kind of physical contact. It was like Tatum knew about her need for little physical touches, even though she had never told the girl. She couldn't believe she had ruined something so fucking good, just for her own selfish satisfaction.

She crawled onto Bekka's bed, scooting as close as she could get to the wall and drawing her knees up to her chest. She burrowed into her Batman sweatshirt and watched the redhead from across the room. She really wanted to just give up and let the tears fall. Everything just sucked so much right now, it would be a relief to just let it all out. But she couldn't cry in front of Tatum again, especially not with the way things were right now.

"I...um...thanks. Again I guess," She fumbled awkwardly. She really wanted to talk about it, talk about something. She wanted the redhead to comfort her, to tell her it was okay to be upset. Who was going to be strong for Kia and Kate if she wasn't though? She was acting man of the house, so to speak. "I just couldn't spend another night on Hunter's floor."

She could feel the tears pricking at the corners of her eyes, this was fucking ridiculous. Since when had she become such a god damn sap? She couldn't keep herself crying in front of this stupid red headed girl who was going to put her forever in the friend zone.

She just loved Tatum so much it hurt.

Trying to sniff discretely, she swiped at her eyes quickly with her sleeve. Part of her was hoping that Tatum hadn't noticed, the other part of her was hoping she did. She just wished there was someone who would hold her and tell her it was okay to cry.
