Summary: Caroline and Cassidy have a chat. Should be read after the drabbles for Discordant and Narrow. | Written for the dvlwears_prada community ABC challenge prompt of 'Whisper'.
I was staring up at my ceiling when Cassidy crept into the room and climbed into bed beside me.
"Why are adults so stupid?" she whispered, and I turned so I could hug her against me.
"Don’t know," I answered. "Are you okay?"
"I miss Becky."
"You’ll see her at school."
"Yeah, but what about summer? I can't go two months without my best friend. I'll die." She started crying. I hugged her tighter, trying to be comforting.
After a moment she rolled away and wiped at her eyes with the back of her hand. "I don't hate Andy," she whispered.
"I know."
"I yelled at her when she came to my room. I made her cry."
"Yeah, I heard. Mom was mad. Andy told her to leave you alone, though, and wouldn't let her call Becky's mom, either. She thinks it'll make things worse."
Cassidy smirked. "She's probably right, but it would be really funny."
"Becky's mom is the dumb one, you know. Andy didn't do anything wrong."
"I know. I wish people didn't care who Mom dated.”
“Do you care?”
“Not really. I just want her to be happy, and Andy makes her happy. She wasn't this happy with Stephen. None of us were."
"Stephen was dumb, too."
Then there was a tap on the open door, and Andy peeked into the room. “Hi. Um… can I come in?” she asked. Cassidy sniffled and sat up, patting the empty spot at the bottom of the bed.
