Madoka played with her hair a little. There wasn't much left of the mask, so it was harder to hide it now. The more people she told, the less she could keep it bottled up.
"Lots of stuff happened while you were gone..." she began, taking a deep breath. In the past, she ended up crying her eyes out when she said what had happened, but she figured she could say something without crying that much this time. Maybe...
"Daddy... died." she finally told Keisko. She hoped she could get away without spilling the details.

Keisko gasped. "Jack... Jack died?" she sat there stupified. Jack was like Keisko's dad for a while... He was always there for the two young girls. His own daughter and his neighbor's fatherless daughter. It was also the same way for Madoka and Keisko's mother.
She looked down at the closed laptop still in shock. "Bu-but how?"

The brunette took yet another deep breath before starting the story.
"About three years ago one night, we were in bed, and I thought I heard something coming from the living room. I walked out of my room. The shouting was the first thing I heard..." Flashbacks from that night hit her hard as she tried not to show any weak signs.
"Dad was fighting with this man that had broken into our house. He turned to look at me for a moment and tell me to leave and to call the police, but while he did... the man took out a knife he had hidden." Madoka clenched her knees and closed her eyes tight. "All... all I could do was sit in the corner and watch, I was too scared to do anything else.
"Luckily, a neighbor had seen the man break in and called the cops themselves... They got there right when he was about to come after me, but he ran off when he heard the sirens." Taking another breath, she kept her gaze at her lap when she opened her eyes.
"Aunt Serenity took me in the very next day. She picked me up from the hospital and asked me if I wanted to live with her." Madoka blinked a few times, feeling a few tears leak out. "And that's what happened."

Keisko closed her eyes and shook her head, also wrapping her arm around Madoka. "I'm so sorry 'Doka..." she said softly, hugging her. "At least Serenity took you in..." she said quietly thinking about herself and having nobody to turn to... "And you're still alive..."

Madoka nodded slowly, gently pushing Keisko's arms away from her. "I'm alright..." she told her. "At least I think I am." she added the last part quietly. She had been a cry baby long enough about the whole situation; she couldn't expect others to let her do that for long.
She swiftly turned away from Keisko to wipe off the tears on her face before turning back to her friend. She smiled hyperly as she put on what was left of the broken mask.

Keisko frowned at the young girl. She knew that Madoka was all but fine but she decided not to push it.
She changed the subject. "So have you met any new people lately?" She asked with a small smile.

Madoka nodded hyperly, almost as if the prior conversation had never even happened. "There's Jack, Lilia, Tsu're, Katiana, Caitlyn..." she counted them off on her fingers, wondering if there was anymore she had met. "I think that's it, not sure though."
She shrugged. "What about chu?"

Keisko chuckled. "Well... I've met Jack and Lilia as well. Then there's Akio, Yukiko which you know too, and Tekka which you also know... then theres the Phoenix, Kairi, Leon, Tyson, and... that may be it... I can't remember..." She said looking at the ceiling as if it held all her answers. She shrugged. "There's some pretty cool people out there..."

Madoka laughed. "Yep! I like it, fun fun fun, you know!" she kicked her legs back and forth as she spoke.

Keisko shook her head and sighed. "How many dr.peppers have you had today?" She asked.

The brunette looked down, trying to look ashamed, but her wide grin got in the way. "Ooohh, you don't wanna know, Keisko... You don't wanna know." she was sure that would get a laugh out of her, yet that also might prevent her from having anymore Dr. Peppers for the rest of the day so long as the older Ookami girl was with her.

Keisko hung her head in mock disappointment but she couldn't keep the chuckle away that had escaped. "I'll take your word for that..." She said then moving the drink that she had in her cup holder to the one furthest from the young girl.

Madoka didn't notice the drink until Keisko had moved it. In a sweet, child like voice, she asked, "Keis'... what was dat...?" she pointed to the drink at it's new location, tilting her head to the side as she spoke.

"Something you're not having." She said pointedly. "I don't think the people in this theatre will appreciate you becoming more hyper and disrupting their movie... And I realy don't want to get kicked out of here... It's dark..." she said glancing around.
