Wait

You await, quiet and still, hoping to avoid making the situation even worse with a mindless word or gesture.

Soon enough you hear CARA's voice.

Sara, Jessica is at the door, should I let her in?

You take a deep breath and tell CARA to open the door, you barely have time to be surprised at how feminine your voice sounded giving that order before Jessie rushes in.

The girl who comes in is barely the Jessie you remember. Dental correction, better hair care, contacts instead of thick rimmed glasses and being in something that's not an old hoodie and sweatpants surely turned her from a kid who was picked on for being a ginger into someone they refer to as a redhead. She's surely the same girl, the freckles and green eyes don't lie about it, but the clothes in an adequate size show how curvy she actually is, and her bright eyes really stand out when not hidden behind the glass. She wasn't ugly before, she was cute, in a very 'little sister' way, now though she'd be considered hot by most accounts.

"Sara! What's wrong you look so pale and you're shaking..." She stops for a second and looks puzzled "{firstname}...?"

Jessica, good to have you here. Sara has been weird all evening, maybe you can talk some sense into her

She looks at you and smirks.
"Sure CARA, that's exactly what I'm here for, we'll go out for a few drinks and she'll come back home feeling better, isn't that right Sara?"
