Grey watched carefully as Emerson showed her how to sign what she had asked before slowly repeating it back. It was a little sloppy, but she felt confidant in it.

"I don't know how you feel about animation, but they're showing Spirited Away. Do you want to go with me? It's one of my favorites." She explained.

"I'd love to. I've never seen that one." Emerson grinned.

"Great, can't wait." Grey was able to sign with a grin.

Emerson let out a quick little giggle of giddiness, stopping himself at the embarrassing feeling he couldn't help whenever he laughed. He settled for grinning.

"I'm excited." He admitted.

Grey was in her room, smiling gleefully at she was getting ready. Her parents had just bought a vacation home in Portland to be closer to Grey during college, which she appreciated. Like most children, Grey had her moments with her parents; they were very strict and challenged her constantly, but she still loved them. It had been awhile since she saw them in person last, Grey moved by herself for school so it had been since summer time when they last saw each other in person. They skyped and facetimed plenty though, not just with Grey either. But her girlfriend Kisa as well. Her parents adored Kisa, possibly more than Grey. There wasn’t any kind of person they enjoyed more than a focused and ambitious individual. Kisa was indeed the posterchild for those very characteristics.

Grey was almost ready, their train left pretty late. So they would arrive almost in the middle of the night, sleep and see everyone in the morning. It was meant to just be a dinner but that’s how the schedule worked out. Grey didn’t mind, she felt happy packing for her and Kisa, finally getting a weekend away with her girlfriend. Things have been hectic, too hectic. With all the time Grey had been spending with Emerson she felt happier with him among other things. Not to mention Kisa had been spending what spare time she did have with a new friend named Elaine...This weekend would be vital to their relationship and remembering why they loved each other.

Just then, Kisa came in the room, home from her last practice of the weekend.

“Hey! I already packed your bag, I hope that’s okay. I made sure you had gym clothes so you could go running in the morning, I packed some too so maybe I could go with you? I think that could be fun.” Grey explained with a smile as she crossed the room to kiss Kisa on the cheek.

Kisa didn’t look happy. Well, that was normal. But she appeared as though she had bad news. She looked away and rubbed the back of her neck, she didn’t even bother to say hello.

“What’s wrong?” Grey asked, studying Kisa.

“You’re going to be mad.” Kisa said, not looking at Grey still.

“Why would I be mad?”

“Because...Something...Came up. I can’t go.”

Grey felt her heart sink. Almost instantly her eyes began to water. It’s not something that would be a big deal if it was the first time, or even for a good reason. The reason didn’t matter though because Kisa was always doing this, and Grey was always a good sport for understanding. But it wasn’t a secret how much this trip meant to Grey.

“Why not?” Grey asked, voice quivering as she rubbed her eyes.

“I just can’t.”

“You can’t?”

Kisa was silent a moment before side glancing at Grey. “I can’t. And, I don’t have to.” She didn’t say another word before passing Grey to climb onto her bed, immediately turning her back to Grey before laying down.

Grey felt herself wanting to be hysterical, but felt embarrassed to be that way around Kisa. Not that tears aren’t called for, but Kisa was always strong, silent, unwavering. It was hard to match that in a situation where Kisa already won by not seeming to care at all. Grey bit her lip before snatching her backpack and storming out the door. For once it was Grey who was running, she bounded down the stairs and onto the porch. Sniveling she pulled out her phone and sent a text to Emerson, asking if he was home.

Emerson was at home watching TV and eating leftovers from a dinner he'd made the night prior. It was a particularly boring night, even if it was simply for the fact that Grey wasn't around. He spent most of his time with Grey any more, but since she was going out of town with Kisa to visit her parents in Portland, he was spending an evening alone for the first time in a good long while.

Or so he thought.

He glanced over to his phone on the coffee table, which lit up and vibrated as a text came in. He stretched over to check it and blinked in surprise when he saw it was Grey.

I'm home but UR going out of town, arent U?

”Idk what I’m doing anymore, I’m really upset. Can I come over?” Grey asked, even though she had already ordered an Uber to his house.

Yeah ofc, just let yourself in. Emerson typed back, frowning at the message.

Grey’s Uber arrive in minutes, which still wasn’t fast enough since that meant sitting on her porch crying while she waited. Throwing her things into the car and crying still, the driver read the room and opted to not say much during their ride which was fine by Grey. After pulling up to Emerson's house, Grey ran up and let herself in, dropping her backpack in the doorway before practically running into the living room.

She saw his there sitting on the couch, always, Grey was happy to see Emerson and be around him. But she was still upset, she sniveled and wiped at her eyes vigorously.

Emerson felt the floor shifting before he saw Grey. He turned to face her, frowning and his brow twisting with worry when he saw her teary face and her attempting to clear it. He stood up.

"What happened? What's wrong?" He signed.

Grey sniffed and finished wiping her eyes before signing.

"Kisa bailed on me, AGAIN." Putting emphasis on again. [/i]

"Oh, Grey, I'm so sorry." Emerson signed, frowning sadly as he then approached Grey. He enveloped her in his arms and gave her a firm squeeze.

Grey welcomed the embrace, wrapping her arms around him and burying her face into his shoulder. She stayed like that for a minute, she felt calmer just being there but Emerson's embrace felt especially comforting. It felt like it had been forever since someone just held her. After awhile she exhaled from through her nose before pulling away, dabbing her finally dry eyes with her sleeve one more time.

"I'm just so disappointed. When I asked her why, she said she can't and that she didn't have to?" Grey explained, more confused now by what Kisa actually said and what she could've meant.

"Didn't have to? But you've been planning this for a long time now and...shouldn't she WANT to go?" Emerson asked, confused then.

"I would think so. My parents love her too!" Grey signed before making a face. "I'm wondering if it's just me, I don't think she likes me anymore."
