"You don't get to dictate my life, Dad! I will kiss whoever the hell I want and you can't do anything about it!"

"Watch your language, Satine!" Lux snapped. "And I do not approve of my daughter going out with that little skug."

Satine slammed her fist on the table, only inches away from Lux's face. "What's so wrong about Aaron Offee? He loves me! Clearly more than you!" she spat, trying to refrain from hurting him via the force.

"You know what his mother did to Mom!" he countered, knitting his brows together to create an agitated look. The wrinkles from constant stress from the Senate and with worry about his children made Lux age possibly ten years older than otherwise, and this problem wasn't making it any easier.

"Maybe Mom shouldn't've have trusted her, then! Mom's betrayal has nothing to do with this, Dad," she seethed. "Aaron loves me! He doesn't restrict me like you do."

"By 'restrict' you do you mean not allowing you to do drugs and alcohol? By keeping you safe from all the perverted creeps who would give anything to—to violate a pretty girl like you? No, Satine. You are staying here. I forbid you from it." 

Satine hissed. "So you don't trust me, then? You don't think I can pick a man that works for me?" She shoved the table slightly into Lux's chest and huffed a very obnoxious huff.

"You are fifteen, Satine! You don't need a man! And I know that he is the spawn of some horrible creature. I won't have you be manipulated into things you don't want to do! I don't want you to wind up pregnant."

"Don't be such a hypocrite, Dad! You knocked Mom up when she was seventeen! How am I any different? You can't say you were 'mature' and 'ready' because if you were really ready, then we wouldn't have had to live most of my life in a two-bedroom house in the middle of nowhere!"

"Satine Mina Padmé Bonteri, go to your room right this instant. You are grounded."

"Piss off!" she growled deep in her throat, moving her hand to create the middle finger.

"Your behavior is completely ridiculous," Lux scoffed. "No need to be grumpy over a boy who will use you like a tissue and toss you into a sarlac pit."

Satine snarled, brown locks flying in disarray in front of her face. "You don't care about my feelings!" she accused, using the force to knock over Padmé's flower pot.

"SATINE!" Lux called out as she stalked out of the house, slamming the wooden door behind her. What did Lux do wrong? She used to be such a sweet and innocent girl, but now it seems she's turned into a monster.

For the first time in a long while, Lux slumped into his hands and started crying.

Aaron Offee protectively wrapped his big, muscly arm around Satine's rib cage. The touch made her slightly uncomfortable, because as they were walking he'd "accidentally" slip a finger over her chest for a second or two. She didn't want to say anything, however, because if she did Aaron would get upset and would think she didn't trust him when he said it was an accident.

Despite Aaron's quick-to-anger disposition, Satine loved him, right? He was handsomely tanned with muscles that rippled down his body. If reminded of Dad in pictures of him and Mom when they were younger; before Rex was born.

Sometimes Aaron would get mad at her when she talked to other boys in her classes when she was working with projects or cracking jokes to a group of people; he'd accuse her of cheating and force her to sleep with him to prove she still loved him. He was just being protective of her. At least, that's what she told herself. Many teenaged boys seemed to want to date Satine, so Aaron had every right to get mad. . . . Right?
