"I believe
This is heaven to no one else but me
And I’ll defend it as long as I can be
Left here to linger in silence
If I choose to
Would you try to understand."

Carrie smiled as Kelly crawled onto her lap while she sat on the living room sofa. "Morning."
"Mornin'," she replied, curling up in her lap.
"I didn't wake you, did I?"
Kelly shook her head before resting it on the country singer's shoulder.
"You were seriously out cold, and it looked like you needed the rest, so I just let you sleep."
"Thanks," she yawned, nuzzling into her neck at the feeling of Carrie's nails grazing over her back comfortingly.
"We have that meeting with Michael today," Carrie reminded.
Kelly didn't reply as she curled up tighter.
"I know you don't want to be in that hospital, Kell, but we need to do this. Remember that this is to help raise money so other little kids like Alex will get the chance to beat this thing."
Kelly's jaw clenched.
"It's ok," Carrie soothed, feeling the silent tears against her neck. "Maybe we should reschedule."
"No, it's ok," she sniffed.
"You sure?"
"Yea," she nodded as Carrie wrapped her arms tightly around her.
"Now, I know this is seriously pushing it, but will you at least think about going talk to Luke?"
After a moments hesitation, Kelly nodded.
Carrie titled her head, kissing Kelly's forehead, "So, we have the morning off until then. You wanna lay with me right here? Or go back up to my room?"
"Here's fine," Kelly replied, lying down with her on the couch, wrapping her arms around her waist tightly, their legs intertwining as Carrie draped the blanket over them.
"What do you want to watch?"
"Anything you want," Kelly said as she snuggled into her once more, facing away from the television.
"You're going back to sleep?" Carrie asked.
"Yep."
"Ok," she laughed softly.

"So bury your burning hatred
Like a hatchet in the snow.
Darlin' do not fear
What you don't really know."

Carrie held onto Kelly, cradling the back of her head as they stood beside her car in the hospital's parking lot. "You're ok. I got you."
Kelly sniffed, pulling back some, "I wanna go back home."
"Shh," Carrie soothed, pressing her lips against the shorter girl's forehead, leaving them there. "You're gonna be perfectly fine."
"What if I can't do this? What if I walk in there and see those kids, and I break down? That's not good for them, Care."
"You're just going see Luke for a few minutes before the meeting. He's not gonna be with the rest of the kids. The nurses said he hardly ever leaves his room."
Kelly nodded, looking her in the eye.
Carrie shook her head, nodding upwards.
Kelly frowned at the surveillance camera that was slowly swiveling back and forth on the light post they had parked by. "I can't even kiss you when I want to now."
Carrie smiled, pulling her into a hug, burying her face in the crook of her neck as Kelly hugged her tightly. She parted her lips, kissing the side of the Texan's neck slowly, feeling Kelly melt into her. She pulled away reluctantly, sending her a wink as she wrapped an arm around her shoulders, guiding her inside.

Kelly shifted her weight from foot to foot nervously as she stood outside of Luke's door. Carrie felt that this was something the Texan needed to do alone, so she went play with the other kids in the game room. Kelly knocked on the door before sticking her head in, "Luke?"
He didn't bother looking up as he sat on his bed, thoroughly emersed in a handheld video game.
"Hey, Luke, mind if I come in?"
He just shrugged.
Kelly took it as a 'yes', entering the room, closing the door behind her, "So how have you been?"
"Wonderful," he replied sarcastically, still not looking at her.
"Really? Cause I've been pretty crappy," Kelly admitted, pulling a chair up next to his bed.
Luke shook his head, "You still haven't learned yet."
"Learned what?"
"To not get close to people," he replied, finally looking up at her.
Kelly shrank back in her chair. She couldn't remember ever seeing a ten year old's eyes that were so cold.
"It's something you learn when you're living over here," he added, going back to his game.
"You know, you're wrong."
He rolled his eyes.
"I did learn that. I was much younger than you when I learned it, actually, and I've learned it way too many times since then."
"Some would call a person that kept making the same mistakes over and over again an idiot."
Kelly frowned, "It's ok that you cared about her. She looked up to you like an older brother. I know that it hurts--"
"You don't know anything," he shook his head.
"Luke..."
"I'm tired," he replied.
Kelly didn't move.
"I'm tired, and I have cancer, that's usually the signal for you to give me some privacy."
"Fine," she sighed, standing. "Have fun not caring."
"Have fun hurting."
Kelly winced before walking out of the room.
