Lola is wrestling on the floor with Ericka and Jason and I call them over for dinner
"I thought we were having paella," Lola asks dismayed when she gazes down at the carbonara
"Amber forgot to get the seafood," I answer placing the plate in front of her
Her eyes instantly burn with anger and she swallows hard before slamming her Fork into the pasta
Ericka and Jason sloppily eat their food against the backdrop of Lola stabbing and chewing in irritation on hers
"I don't want to go to therapy anymore, it's boring and we always talk about the same thing," Lola States slamming her fork down and folding her arms across her chest
"It's mandatory," I simply answer clearing the plates
"Why don't they just give me tablets like they gave you? You never went to therapy," Lola retorts narrowing her green eyes
"You don't have depression -well at least I hope not- and it's not that simple. Anyway this isn't up for discussion," I say firmly
Rolling her eyes, Lola scrapes back her chair and is followed eagerly by two carbonara adoring covered siblings
Just as she's about to leave Amber enters with shopping bags
Gazing at her up and down Lola peeks into the bag and her cheeks flare up
"So now you bring the seafood!" She spits angrily before shoving past Amber with Ericka and Jason toddling gleefully behind her
I call out after but she doesn't reply
"You can't let her speak to me like that," Amber States placing the bags on the kitchen counter
"I'm working on it," I reply
"You've been working on it for five years," she retorts venom thick in her voice
It's my turn to roll my eyes
