A girl with long, brunette hair clasped her watch onto her hand as she got ready to go to the park. She didn't have a main purpose- she just loved spending time there. Her hair lacked it's usual waves today but instead was dead straight, as it was wet. With a simple pants and top on, she searched around for her hair dryer. As she opened a few doors and searched a few shelves, she thought of how things had been since Kaelyn had died. Keira dressed simple, and rarely slept, the two hauntingly empty beds in her room seeming to mock her every night.
After a few minutes of fruitless searching she remembered seeing Felicity with her hair dryer earlier that morning. Sighing, not unaccustomed to it she made her way past Melinda's room, past her mom's room and to Felicity's room. She knocked on the door. "Felicity?" she called.

Felicity looked to the door and sighed. She was still in her pajama pants and sports bra as she was just about to get dressed. Feeling there was no time for a change, she walked over and opened the door. Her blue eyes widened as she saw her older sister, Keira, standing in the doorway. "Keira, what a suprise..." she said. "What do you need?" she asked, going back to her closet and trying to pick out what she wanted to wear. It was hard to figure out what was hers and what was Melody's as they shared a room and a closet. "But only if I can find it..." she added, with a small smirk. The room was a mess, and Felicity was bugged about it. She had been trying to clean it, but it seemed to create a bigger mess.

Keira stopped knocking only when the door opened and she lowed her hand to see her younger sister about to get dress. "Well not a surprise for me," she murmured almost too quiet to be heard, as she followed her sister into the room. She did understand the surprise comment- Keira hadn't been as close to Felicity as she had been to Lilly, but they were still sisters and they had been distant since Lilly died, even if they still talked. "I need my hair dryer," she said, pointing at her hair which was currently wetting her top as remaining water dripped from it.

"Hair Dryer... hair dryer... Where did I put it?" she wondered aloud. Felicity looked through the pile of stuff she had thrown on her bed and finally found a light blue colored hair dryer. "Sorry I took it, but I have plans and I needed to hurry, and PEOPLE KEEP ON TAKING MY DRYER!" she yelled the last bit past Keira and downstairs as it was directed toward Melody or her aunts. She handed out and looked at her sister. It was the first interaction they had in a while, which had suprised Felicity a lot.

Keira felt a stab of pain when she saw Felicity do that. She had yelled at Lilly and Linda before for taking her hair dryer as well- Linda being her roommate always mixed it up with hers, and Lilly...well she just often misplaced her own one. Ignoring it and taking a deep breath she accepted the hair dryer. "It's OK," she assured her. "Why do you need to hurry?" asked Keira, going over to a chair beside her sister's bed and sitting on it, as she had done many times before- just not recently. "You're going somewhere I guess?"

"You don't want to know where I go... You never cared before," Felicity said, heading back over to the closet. She found her white spaghetti strap shirt and her plain, maroon cardigan and put those on. Next she rumaged through looking for jeans, and shoes. Finally getting her ripped and torn pair of light denim jeans, she took of her pajama pants ond put those on. Then she put on her white and pink skater shoes. As she tied them, sitting on Melody's bed, she looked over at Keira. "So whats' with the curiousity?" she asked.

Keira looked down at the floor when Felicity said those words. She had failed in the part of a sister where she neglected Felicity and cared more for Lilly. "I deserve that," she said quietly, refusing to look up at her sister at all now. When Felicity asked why she was curious Keira felt and heard her voice quavering slightly. "Because I'm your sister," she said defiantly, despite not looking up.

Felicity got up and walked over and looked in the vanity mirror, scrunching up her bright golden hair, making it look more curly than it was. Then she started to put half of it up into a ponytail, leaving the bottom half at her shoulders. She straightend up and looked at the pictures taped to the mirror. "So, getting into that caring mode with me are you?" she asked narrowing her eyes a bit. She started to get angry bit by bit. Keira was never there before, why now?

"Don't talk to me like that," said Keira in a quiet voice though it was clear she thought Felicity was pushing her limit. She knew she had never been there for Felicity, but Felicity had always had others there for her as Keira always had Kaelyn, Linda and Especially Lilly...until two of them died. "I'm your older sister you're not supposed to talk to me like that."

"You are not my mother. You may be pretty close it Keira, but your not her," Felicity shot back in the same quiet voice. She didn't need any of it, she needed to go, like she used to. Just walk out, and no one cares. "And don't give me the older sister talk either, I'm the youngest Keira, If you haven't noticed, and like hell I'm ever going to be like you," Felicity knew she was pushing the limit, but she couldn't stop. Anger was pulsing through and out of her. She started toward the door, but something inside her stopped her.

"I'm not trying to be your mother Felicity...thankfully she's alive though you don't seem to appreciate it," said Keira. Keira stood up at what Felicity said next. "I'm glad you'll never be like me then," she replied, feeling anger herself now. "Because you're nothing like me anyway, nor mom, nor-" her throat caught here but she managed to finish the sentence. "dad."

Felicity now knew why she stopped. She had the feeling that Keira would say all that to her. She turned slowly on the spot and glared. And when she spoke, she started quiet, but got louder. "Well, maybe I'm not even a Halliwell! Is that what your trying to say Keira?!? Just because I'm not like the rest of my family! You'd be glad if I wasn't your sister, wouldn't you? Wouldn't--wouldn't--" At that point Felicity's knees buckled and she fell to the floor, tears pouring out of her eyes. She started to remember when she was younger. She used to admire her sisters, she had--and still--looked nothing like them. More tears came as she thought about it.

Keira was about to retort but was startled when Felicity fell to the floor and started crying. "I-" she began to say something but stopped realising she had no clue what she wanted to say. Going over to her sister's side and knelt down beside her. "Felicity..."

"Keira, I miss her. She was the one I went to, always. And I've taken it out on everyone, because I have no one to go to anymore," Felicity explained. Her head which was lying on the floor with the rest of her body, turned to the side, to where she could look up at her sister with only her tear filled eyes. "And I miss Daddy too," she added in a whisper. She didn;t want to go anywhere with her friends now. She just wanted to stay right there, it was a different feeling than the previous one of running away. "I-I'm sorry..."

"Me too," said Keira, hugging her sister. "I've been the worst older sister ever." It was proof- Felicity had gone to Lilly, not her. She was supposed to be the oldest, the one that was always there to support them when they needed it and she had failed. She was supposed to protect them and she had failed that too...she had failed Lilly. "Why didn't you go to mom?" she asked quietly,
