-Livia's Pov-

I toss and turn in my bed until I can't take it anymore. I get up and check the time, It's 4 am.

Great.

I sit down at the desk and turn the light on, I begin to draw, something I haven't done in a while. I like drawing, but Isabelle also liked drawing, much more than me. That's why I don't enjoy drawing as much as I used to, I just think about her every time, and that hurts.

I sketch the outline of a face and then start on the facial features, it's pretty clear I'm drawing her again. I have so many drawings of my little sister and I can't even look at them for too long or I might burst into tears. I miss her... so much.

I keep drawing for a little while before my eyelids start to fall closed and I fall asleep again.

.-.

I wake with a start and immediately notice that I'm not in bed, I'm in fact on the floor, my drawing book lying next to me. I pick up the book and close it, placing it back on my desk. I check the time again, it's almost 9 am. That's sleeping late in my book.

I get up and walk down to the kitchen, Lucy is cooking something and it smells delicious. I remember last night and mentally facepalm.

Did I really argue with her son in front of her? Oh god, I'm about to get kicked out, aren't I?

"Oh, Livia! You're awake, I'm so sorry about last night, sometimes Kaden just gets a little confused and angry when... it doesn't matter, let's eat!" Lucy smiles at me and I just stare at her with my mouth agape.

Isn't she angry? Also, when what? Don't pry, then you'll do exactly what Kaden says you do. With that thought in mind, I don't ask about the when.

"Aren't you angry with me?" I ask with a frown.

"Why would I be? Kaden shouldn't talk to you like that, I can bet you my whole house that he'll come to his senses eventually and apologize," Lucy puts some eggs and toast on a plate and hands it to me.

"You're really that certain?" I ask.

"Yes, he's got a good heart, just remember that," Lucy says with a small smile.

Does he? I hope so, he's going to have to try hard to get me to forgive him though if he does, I'll give him another chance. That is if he even wanted to be friends with me in the first place.

I sit down at the counter and eat my food while talking to Lucy. A little while later June comes in but there's still no sight of Kaden, is he even home?

"Where is that boy now?" June interrupts my thoughts.

"Out with his father, I tried talking some reason into him," Lucy frowns.

Kaden has a dad? Well, I mean Kaden has a dad that's actually around? I've never seen him before so maybe he's not around that much.  And then I wonder the even bigger question, which dad?

He's adopted so that means maybe Lucy has a husband? No, she's never mentioned him before. But if Kaden's biological dad is still around, why doesn't he live with him? I should really stop over-thinking everything.

"Oh, okay," I say. What am I supposed to say to that?

"Well, he should get home right now cause I've decided I'm grounding him!" June exclaims and I hold in a laugh at her angry expression.

Lucy laughs, "What is he grounded for?"

"Everything! He's also hardly home, that's just more reason to ground him!" June says angrily. I just sit quietly and eat my toast.
