"So... you don't know what goes on with your character?" Enolla asked as she took a right turn into Lulu's street.
She squinted her eyes suspiciously, "No... but I feel like you do so how about you tell me, uh?"
"That would ruin the fun," Enolla replied, "But I'll make sure to check your reaction tomorrow."
Lulu rolled her eyes, ready to open the door and get out of the car, "Thanks for the ride."
"Wait, just so you know, Refn's gonna be there tomorrow."
"At the play?"
Enolla nodded, "Yes."
"But... he does know I'm not in it, right?"
"Yeah," Enolla chuckled, "But he's got nothing to do and I did kinda tell him that it was worth watching..."
"Did you tell Lexi?" Lulu asked, "No, cause she's gonna freak—"
"No, no, no," Enolla interrupted, "I can tell she's nervous already. But she really shouldn't be... I can tell she could have a great career in this... She's talented."
Lulu smiled with pride, "Yeah, I know. She should stop doubting herself so much."
"Says the girl who doesn't believe in herself."
"Very funny," Lulu said with a grimace as she walked out of the car, "Okay, I'll see you tomorrow, right?"
"Of course!"
Lulu watched Enolla drive off before going inside the house where music was blasting loudly and Lulu scrunched her nose at the sight of her sister putting up a show for everyone to watch.
Selfless by the Strokes was playing all over the house and Zahia was dancing and singing under the amused gazes of Fezco, Ashtray and Faye.
"Please don't be long, 'cause I want your love," Zahia sang loudly, "I don't have love without your arm, life is too short, but I will live for you!"
She pretended having a guitar between her hands, jumping around the house and following the rhythm. She finally noticed her sister and her eyes opened wide as she quite literally jumped in her arms, "We're staying together!"
Lulu stumbled back, wrapping her arms around Zahia's body before shooting a quick look at the rest of them, "Wait, what?"
"They said we can stay together!" Zahia chirped before pulling out a letter from her pocket, "We got this today."
Lulu rapidly read the letter, feeling goosebumps covering her arms at the positive outcome. The second visit from the social workers had taken place a couple of weeks ago and Lulu had lived in the fear of receiving this final letter.
A long sigh escaped her lips and she tightened her grip around her sister, kissing her head softly, enjoying the relief that she never thought she would experience.
