At Al's initial response Lola shook her head. Her face became hotter with every moment, storing threats of tears. [color=LavenderBlush]"And who do I have now, hmm?"[/color] she snaps back while standing. Her movement pushed the chair back with a loud squeak as it rubbed on the wooden floorboards. [color=LavenderBlush]"So he loved me too, good. That doesn't change the fact I'm fighting a battle alone that you got to spend with him."[/color] 

She slammed shut her textbook, looking her brother up and down. What she being childish, maybe, but Al acting like he was God's gift for offering a half-baked solution didn't ammuse his sister. She grabbed her supplies, tightening a fist around her pens. [color=LavenderBlush]"I don't know if you noticed, Al, but I'm not an adult. I can't just up and get a house. I can't even take money out of the trust fun for another two years. At least here I know I'll be fed,"[/color] she snaps, looking down at the man in the chair. It seemed no matter what Lola did it was her fault. Anything went wrong with the Leighton family's standing in the Guild? I was how low Lola scored. Was the verbal punching bag of her mother? Her fault for not moving out, even if she was still a minor. Everything seemed to come back to herself so much she was starting to think maybe they had a point.
