#dynamic: kimmie x cait

[badcompanys]

( @paracsmic / kimmie. ) there is something about the open road that is extremely calming. it’s the middle of the night, though despite it all, cait is behind the wheel, music blaring into the space. rather than sleep, herself and kimmie decided they’d drive through the night, stop somewhere in the morning for breakfast and maybe add a day or so to their trip schedule.

when they agreed to undertake these road trips together across country, visiting small dive bars and doing gigs whenever they had something available, the girls wanted to make an adventure out of it. they had gotten used to traveling the roads when they were on tour with their parents, but they never got to really see any of the sights.

it was more or less a ‘get there as fast as possible, do the job, then leave’ kind of deal with mom and pop. and while that might have worked for some, cait didn’t save up her funds from working odd jobs to just blow them on alcohol and drugs like most bands did. she wanted an experience unlike any other.

tucking into a bag of candy that sat in the cupholder of her space, she glances back to kimmie who comes into view out of the shower, dressed in pajamas and looking rather comfortable. it was almost time for the girls to switch over, seeing as how they had slept off most of their hike earlier that day and were rested.

maybe it was the amount of coffee and sugar they had in their systems, but both girls were raring to go by the time it reached eight at night.

just then, in the middle of nowhere, cait loses control of the vehicle, unable to stop it from nearly careening with a tree. a blown out tire seems to be the culprit, and it forces cait to collide with the guard rail in the process. it does more damage to the rv than to the girls.

immediately jumping out of her seat, she runs over to kimmie, who’s been knocked around in the process. there is smoke coming from the engine and she has a desperate need to get her sister out of there so they can further assess the situation. grabbing kimmie’s hand, she scrambles to get the door open and they both collapse into the dust and dirt as they shift away from a pretty badly damaged recreational vehicle.

“are you okay?!”

she asks, voice full of concern as she reaches to check the small cut on her younger sister’s forehead, instantly filling with regret over the situation, as if it were somehow her fault. it wasn’t. but that didn’t stop her from feeling guilty in the moment.

cait is the one who bought kimmie her first drum set. she saved up the money from her graduation present to buy an old set from some guy on craigslist. naturally, she thought it was a scam until she arrived, but she managed to knock the price down a bit so she was able to save two hundred bucks of her own money.

the black dahlia’s started as a garage band. they spent the time covering some of their parents old songs at first, just to get a feel for things. kimmie was a whiz on the drums and cait managed to pick up singing after a few instances of seeming as if she was tone deaf ( she took a little while to get acclimated ) but they got their first paying gig playing for a prom at the local high school.

once kimmie graduated from high school, she and cait  started traveling the country. they were used to it - from back in the day with their parents, but in the last few years, cait had actually stayed home so that her sister could remain in public school for the true high school experience.

kimmie and cait got matching tattoos for kimmie’s eighteenth birthday. there are matching flowers on their forearms to forever tie them together. cait has a series of other tattoos lining her body, but this was kimmie’s first. she definitely thinks it sparked something in her younger sibling, because now she’s always itching for new ink.

while cait is the singer, kimmie is actually the one who started writing songs for the group. normally used to writing beautiful poetry ( can you tell cait’s her biggest fan? ) she managed to create something spectacular with songs for the band. now she co-writes songs with their keyboard player, hunter.
