I went WAAAAAAY too fast with the whole depression thing here. But to be honest, I don't really have time to rewrite it, and I sort of don't want to. I feel like... idk, like it would be a bad thing and take away authenticity or something? I'm just gonna leave it as is. Maybe one day, if I turn this into an ebook, I'll rewrite it. But in the meantime, APPLICABLE WARNINGS: Still dealing with the aftermath of the miscarriage, and subsequent depression from both Katie AND Kendall. You'll see. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Episode 36: Right around.
Suddenly Katie cried out; "Don't leave me!"
"I'm not," He said. "I'm just going to the bathroom, I promise." He kissed her forehead, and left. Katie suddenly realized she was hungry. She got up and fixed herself a peanut butter sandwich and a glass of soy milk. Kendall was happy to see that when he walked out of the bathroom.
"You feel any different?" He asked.
"Just... Hungry," she said.
"It's a start," Kendall said. He grabbed her meds from the plastic box they had sat in for a month. "At least take the pristiq," he said, handing her a red pill. Katie chugged it down with the rest of her soy milk. She felt better, even smiled once. Camilled invited her over for dinner the next night, and she accepted.
"Mmm! Smells good in here," Katie said, walking in the front door. She walked over to the kitchen and hugged Camille. "I missed you sissy."
"I missed you too," She said. "You've been here so long I forgot how empty it was without you!"
"So what ya makin?" Katie asked.
"Pasta," Camille said. "Come on, the noodles are done." They sat down and prayed together, and started eating. It was the best meal Katie had had since she had been kicked out.
"So, how are things between you and Kendall?" Camille asked as they were finishing up.
"Good," Katie said. "I mean we haven't really been able to do anything since... you know. But..."
"Yeah," Camille said. "I... I miss you living with me."
"I... miss having you around sissy."
"But if you're happy living with Kendall... Than stay with him. It's important to me that you're happy."
"Camille.... I wish I could live with both of you," Katie said. "I mean... I love you. We're family. You've been my big sister since... Since my own mom kicked me out. But... Kendall... I love him. I know I do."
"And I get that," Camille said. "And honestly, you two need each other right now. After what's happened, you both need each other to grieve, and to heal."
"Thanks sissy," Katie said. "But can I come visit again?"
"Any time Kiddo," Camille said, mussing Katie's hair. They did the dishes and talked for a little bit, until Katie decided to go back down to the apartment.
"I love you sissy," Katie said, hugging her cousin.
"Love you too Kiddo," Camille said. Katie smiled. Somehow things were going right, At least, until she walked into the crib.
