Jess was at a loss again. It seemed anything she did or said would only make things worse. [i]Keep it together,[/i] she nagged herself, aware of several people turning in the direction of the argument. Some even moved away. The empath took a deep breath, her gaze dropping to the ground again before she looked back up, facing Roxy. She had to at least pretend to be dealing with this, make a better attempt to remedy the situation, convince her mom things weren't a complete mess. [i]Keep it together, keep it together, keep it together...[/i]
