She smiled and winked, "Yeah I know, juuuuust like old times." Yeah, old times... because they were getting older.
Then there was the question. She was sure lots of people would ask it, but she was hoping they wouldn't. Although her good friend was different. She sat back down and stared at her hands. "Laura, you know I ran away, right? It was just after Christmas and I found out that my dad couldn't do anything for Raven. She was... she IS my friend who has brain cancer. They said she will probably die, but they kept it from me the entire time I was there. And they even told Gary and HE didn't even tell me!" she said, getting upset. Her mother, father, boyfriend, and brother all knew and didn't tell her. "So I wrote a letter to my cousin Shura in Russia and he said he would come and get me, which he did. And then I stayed in Russia for just over a year and went to school there. And you know, the entire time I was there I didn't hear anything from my family. They would have known I was in Russia, it's where I was born! It was where I was raised. But they didn't even try." She felt miserable, that her family just didn't care.
Laura smiled at Zhenya as she sat down on the floor, see sitting on the bathroom floor wasn't that strange. "Yeah since your getting ancient." Laura giggled as she stuck out her tongue at her friend, to show that she was just teasing her.
Laura sighed as she listened to her friends story. "Maybe they thought you needed sometime to get things together." Laura wasn't sure but it was an idea. "Maybe they want you to go and talk to them when you are ready to otherwise there might be loads of arguments." Laura looked at her friend. "I don't mean to say things I shouldn't and I hope you won't be bad at me." Laura stopped to think of the right words. "But I really think you should talk to them and see what they have to say, you know family is really important." Laura looked up at her friend and waited to see what she did next.
