I groaned and leaned back into a near by wall.  If I get emancipated I could be free of all this but I’m not ready to handle things as an adult.  I get in trouble without even trying.  Like the night of the party things could have been much worst.  But living with my aunt and uncle?

“Where do they live?”  I asked much to the shock of everyone around me.

“In Maui.  But they’re willing to move here for you.”

“Fine but when does this happen?”  

“After you meet your dad.”  He motioned to me.  “And your uncle.”  He pointed to Kyla.  She looked ready to pounce. 

“But Ash what am I going to do.  I don’t want to live with them but I don’t want to lose you.”  My sister asked panicked.  

Shit.  I don’t know.

“You can live with me.”  Aunty Lisa said putting her arm around Kyla.  She offered her the best smile she could and hugged me.

“we’ll get through this.”  I whispered into her ear.

“You always say that.”  She sniffled back.

“But I’m always right.” I tried to lighten the mood.  It didn’t work well.  Just sounded like a bad joke.

“Sorry to break this love fest but I’m still here.”  Dinkle said.  We all glared at him.

“Come on lets go.  Were done for today.”  Arthur said ushering everyone out the door.  

I stopped when I reached the threshold.

“Mr. Dinkle, you called me and Kyla your clients.  So does that mean your our lawyer to right?”  I inquired innocently.

He nodded.  “Yes.”  

“Good.”  Fake smile.  “Your fired.”  I growled then shut the door.  More like slammed it but I like to believe I left calmly.  

I leaned against the heavy wood and slowly sunk to the floor.  Spencer was next to me in an instant.  She hugged me and just plain held me.  A small kiss was placed on my forehead.  And then we left.  

As soon as I got outside to the harsh sunlight and blinding blue sky’s I cursed it.  The perfect weather was just mocking me.

I took two steps and looked around.  

What now?
