lani groaned and shoved her head into my neck as she started to wake up. she tightened her arm, "lani-"

"hmmm" she groaned even more. I sighed and turned to face her. She opened her eyes, "your not a morning person are you" i asked. she stared in my eyes, "not at all." Her eyes were blue and glowed in the light breaking through the window.

"what" she asked. I lost focus to her eyes, "nothing" i replied. a couple minutes passed before I heard faye yelling and something crash. me and lani both jumped up and ran out the door.

"its not even that big of a deal!" she yelled. She ran back to her room and slammed the door. "What the fuck" I mumbled. I looked down the stairs to see my mom with grace and Jason and karina and my dad arguing once again.

i went to Faye and dragged lani with me. I banged on the door and twisted the locked door handle until chantel swung it open. I pushed past her and Faye ran up to me. I hugged her as tight as I could while lani and chantel talked.

The yelling continued while people started banging on the front door. Lani walked over to the window, "get dressed" she rushed. I let Faye stay with chantel and ran to lani. She grabbed her stuff after dressing herself quickly. I stood out her way confused.

She came to me and closed the door. "you don't know how much I actually like you Kylie" she trailed. "lani..."

"But I don't want to hurt you anymore" she cried. "it's okay" i tried to reassure her but she pushed me away. "Kylie im so sorry" she added. She wrapped her arms around my waist and pushed her lips onto mine. "you're leaving" i mumbled after she hesitated to pull away.

I looked down and she let me go then walked away. I heard her speak to chantel before the door shut completely. Once they left the yelling stopped. I layed on my bed with the jacket she gave me the other night.

"Me and mom is leaving" Grace said. "Thought you were fighting for custody" i replied. She sighed, "Jason just got arrested and moms onna line so" she admitted. "Dave and karina-"

"Okay" i interrupted. "Kylie" she tried speaking. "Please go" i interrupted and she left without saying anything else. I layed in my bed for hours until someone knocked on the front door. I went downstairs and opened it to see someone I wasn't expecting.
