Cara walked into the Amobi house, kicking her shoes off at the door. Her best friend, Pip, had given her a spare key years ago in case she ever needed some place to go. Barney, Pip's family dog, almost crashed into Cara when he heard her footsteps. "Hey, boy. Where's Pip?" She asked, even though the canine couldn't respond. Cara scratched Barney behind the ears before making her way upstairs.
She gently push Pip's bedroom door open. "Pip?" She asked again as she saw Pip standing in front of the mirror. "Pip." Her voice softened as she wrapped her arms around Pip from behind. Her head rested on Pip's shoulder. "Heard you weren't feeling good. Your Mum asked me to come keep you company." She whispered in Pip's ear.
