Illusions of the island *A LOST fanfic*

Chapter 39: 'Trusting what's in front of you'

Juliet heard blaring music coming from above her head. What in the world? She'd been mopping up the floor in the kitchen when she heard a crash coming from Hayley's room. Taking the steps by twos, Juliet quickened her pace and got to her room just as Hayley was completely disassembling it.

"Hayley Isabel Montero-Ford! ¿Qué estás haciendo?"

(What do you think you're doing?)

Juliet was having a hard time hearing over the blaring music coming from Hayley's stereo.

Stepping over towards Hayley's stereo, Juliet stopped the music and took the CD out of the machine and held it up.

"What is this?"

Hayley completely ignored Juliet at the moment and tore a picture from the wall. She burst and started yelling in her direction.

"Why weren't you there for me!? WHY!? I used to imagine that you would come back and we'd be one big happy family! Estoy perdido mama! I'm lost! No quiero gastar tiempo buscando más."

(I don't want to spend time looking anymore.)

Juliet was sure that Hayley was done with her little tirade, but then she threw more stuff around the room. It was a complete mess in there. Grabbing for her arms, Juliet tried to pull Hayley closer to her, but she pushed away.

"You didn't answer my question young lady. Where did you get this CD?"

Hayley lay eyes on Juliet for a moment, her nose still flaring.

"Jaime's cousin Canelo gave it to me."

Juliet tried not to scoff and stay neutral with her attitude.

"Canelo is 16, you are 11. I don't think your old enough to listen to that music yet. I want you to give it back. When you come back, I want you to clean up this mess. Tomorrow your going to come to my therapy session with me."

Hayley started to cry.

"Mama, I don't need therapy. I'm fine."

Juliet pulled Hayley into a hug.

"We'll get through this together baby. I promise. You have to trust what's in front of you."
