"Why's that?" she asked softly.
Louisa hugged her knees, forgetting about the hidden vial between where Vashti sat and herself, and rested her chin on her hands. "
I don't know. Nobody cares enough about.." me. But she didn't say it. It made no sense and she wasn't about to babble nonsense to Vashti. Instead, she dropped the spotlight on her friend, "
Do you?" She demanded, "
Do you really think that our parents, the closest grown ups to us, care so much that they do stupid things and make us just go with it?!" She knew this might hit a nerve on Vashti but she didn't care not when her anger had risen to the surface.
