"Sarah!? What are you doing?!", Cassie asks aggressively.
Sarah stands up with you cupped in her hands.
"What?", Sarah asks.
"Thats a shrink. You're taking a shrink to the hospital? They're little more than bugs now. You gonna wait around in a hospital for hours over a bugs broken foot? Just leave it here or stomp on it already."
"Cass! What is wrong with you?! This is a person. Just cuz shes small doesnt change that."
"Yeah? You willing to let your parents and your boss know you missed out on work because you were helping out a bug? You'd get fired and grounded girl!"
Sarah looks at Cassie. She wasnt sure about this anymore. Her parents could be savage and her boss at the YMCA hated shrinks with a passion. Sarah looked back down at the helpless little person rested between her cupped hands, with a look of sadness and concern... and regret.
"Umm... look I... I... I think you'll be okay here I mean... its just a foot. They owner of the sanctuary should be back soon, he'll help you okay?"
You couldn't believe what you were hearing. You use your elbows to drag yourself over to Sarahs thumb and grab it to hoist yourself up on your good foot.
"What?! Sarah no! I wont survive without you. Someone could take me and i won't be able to get away! I am a person! My name is Susanne! You cant do this!", you begged.
"Oh my god. Just drop the little fucker and lets go already.", Cassie bitches.
Sarah stares at you a little longer with grief in her eyes, then finally lowers you down to the ground and gently uses her other hand to pluck you up and place you infront of the sanctuary door. You drop on your ass and look straight up at the towering form of this girl, before looking straight ahead at her sandaled feet. Her toes wiggling due to anxiousness.
"Im sorry. You'll be okay.", Sarah said.
"Hey Sarah. You got any gum?", Cassie interupts.
Sarah stands up with you cupped in her hands.
