Oliva sighed, and ran a hand through her hair. She was glad she didn't have to be a teenager anymore, with all the confusion, knowing the questions, but not the answers. The frustration. she shook her head, and rose, going to get a cup of coffee. 

Tomorrow would be a fun day, she thought sarcastically to herself.

Cassandra could hear Lorenzo and Kiddo talk, and she sighed. She curled up tighter, holding the blankets closer to herself, wishing everything could just be okay. It wasn't, and it never would be again. She had made a mistake coming here. So far, the only one who would understand was Lorenzo. 

Was this pain, this grief worth that? Worth finding Lorenzo, finding out that despite it all, she still had family? She didn't even need to debate that. It was. Even here, against the judgement, she still had her brother. She wasn't alone in the world. 

"Then why are you just laying there feeling sorry for yourself?" She muttered. She sighed. She sat up, blinking around. "go kick butt." But how could she do that?
