<div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/acBfN.png)</div><strong>Name</strong>:  Elizabeth Goetz<br/><strong>Location</strong>:  Apartment Parking Lot<br/><strong>Wearing</strong>: White sheer cami top patterned with red flowers over an opaque white tank, jeans, brown calf-length boots,<del>sunglasses on her forehead</del>.<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Vivian, Madelyn<br/><br/>Elizabeth realized that Vivian, strong, beautiful, amazing Vivian, was bothered more by the situation than anyone else would suspect.  She was always so in control, so tough and steadfast that you got in the habit of thinking about her only in those terms.  Vivian was just a teenaged girl.  She wasn't the heroine in a novel, or some four color mutant in a comic book.  She just a girl, in a tough place and who was feeling the world come crashing down around her.  Elizabeth's heart lurched and it actually hurt to realize how much she'd been neglecting her friend.<br/><strong><br/>"Viv-"</strong>she started, but was cut off by Madelyn's arrival.  Elizabeth wanted to be mad, but her nature was so ingrained that she set her anger aside and listened instead.  Madelyn was trying to feel better, so Elizabeth had to help her or else she was a bad person.  It was easier since Madelyn wasn't looking at her.  As she spoke, a white hand found a black one and squeezed it tightly.<br/><br/><strong>"Madelyn?  Thank you.  I am sorry I upset you and I know you didn't have to come back here to apologize to me.  I promise I'll try to be better,"</strong>she said, not quite looking at Madelyn.  She still held Vivian's hand.<strong>"Can you, just...hang on." </strong>She pulled Vivian back into the bathroom and shut the door, then took both of Vivian's hands in hers.<br/><br/><strong>"Viv?  Hey,"</strong>she said quietly, looking up into the other girl's face.<strong>"You're always there for me.  I know that and it's why I love you so much.  I need you too,"</strong>she said, voice thick with emotion.<strong>"I promise you, no matter what, I won't leave you.  You're the only one I have left, and I'm the only one you have left.  We have to stick together.  You're strong when I need it.  Which,"</strong>she said with the barest flicker of a smile,<strong>"is all the time.  I need you to tell me when you need me.  I don't always see it.  Like now.  I'm selfish sometimes." </strong>She leaned up on her tiptoes and kissed Vivian's cheek, then let go of one hand and opened the bathroom door.<br/><strong><br/>"I'm sorry,"</strong>she apologized again to Madelyn.<strong>"And you don't have to make anything up to me.  Really.  We can just take it back and share it with everyone and not tell them who found it."<br/><br/>"Madelyn?  What about your parents?  Did you...are they?  You know.  Asleep?"</strong><br/>
