Alice knew that there was no way that her mother was going to explain any of this to her, but Alice was done needing her to.

"I don't need her to explain it to me, I need her to explain it to my father," Alice said, wiping away a tear with her sleeve. "He's the one that needs her to say something. And Lexi...my father is all that I have. If something happens to him I'll have no one. I have no other family that I can turn to...I'd have no home left if something happened to him."

Make herself feel happy first? Alice's face showed nothing but confusion. How could she make herself feel happy knowing what she knew?

"Make myself happy?" Alice whispered, it coming out more like a question than a statement. Alice looked at Lexi, hoping to find some kind of answer in her eyes, but sadly she found none. She knew Lexi understood and she could tell that Lexi was still trying to find an answer herself.

"I understand, Alice. Moreso than you realize, I understand the fear of losing the only people or person that you have to count on." SHe had in fact lost her family... in the literal sense. She could not find them. Well, one of her families anyway.

Hearing Alice whisper the question Lexi pulled her back into a hug and petted her hair some more. Pulling back and bending down that little distance to look Alice right in her eyes she tucked a piece of hair behind her little ear and smiled. "I know it sounds SO out of order. But look at it like this. What good are you going to be at making others happy if you aren't happy yourself? Trust me. Find some peace inside of you first... then try to help others," Lexi told her in all seriousness.
