"Leave...him...ALONE!" Lydia shouted, a strong burst of energy lashing out at Beetlejuice's mother to send her back a ways. She got off of his back, stumbling a little before standing between the two. She trembled occasionally, trying to suppress the overwhelming sensation of sleep creeping on her to protect her friend. "You're the one who's a piece of shit! Beetlejuice is a better demon than you'll ever be! He's stronger than most of those shitty demons who think he can take him! All you do is belittle him because you can't admit that you're a terrible, selfish, abusive mother who didn't even care when her own child disappeared! Well guess what?! He doesn't need you! You're not his family because family doesn't do any of that! Family stays beside you even when you mess up!" She exclaimed before looking over at Beetlejuice, helping him to his feet and holding his hand. "He's my family and I'm not leaving him!"
