I walk into the Huxley's house, completely distracted. I'm really taking this to court! I run a hand through my hair, is it worth it though?

I head towards the living room. When I enter the room, Axton's sitting there with a game controller in his hand, staring diligently at the TV across from him. I watch him for a couple of minutes before his person is killed. Axton stands up and throws the controller angrily, yelling out a string of curse words.

"AXTON KING IF I HEAR THOSE WORDS LEAVE YOUR MOUTH AGAIN YOU WILL BE SORRY!!" Kaid yells from what sounded like the kitchen.

Axton rolls his eyes and turns around. I begin laughing at the expression on his face. "Yes mother!" He yells back. Then sticks his tongue out in the direction of his aunt and begins making faces.

I laugh harder, thankful for the distraction.

"How'd it go?" Axton asks, walking closer to me.

I shrug. "We're taking it to court, Axton."

Axton's face falls. "Oh, Fallon." He gathers me in his arms, and I sag against him.

"I can't believe this is happening. I can't believe my own mother... Would do this to me." I voiced, tears filling my eyes.

"Sometimes the people you've known the longest are the first that turn on you." He whispers to me.

I pull back and look at him, "how poetic, Ax."

He grins. "I try."

He pulls me to sit on the couch with him. "So do you know when you're going to court?"

I shake my head, biting my lip.

"Do you have a lawyer?" He inquires.

"No.." I whisper.

"Do you have a plan?"

I furrowed my brow. "No." I say.

Axton hums. "What ar-"

I shoot out of my seat, cutting Axton off. "I don't know!!" I shout. "I don't know what I'm going to do! I don't know when all of this will take place! I don't know if my dad had a lawyer! I don't know what's going to happen! Please; stop!" I turn around and run out of the room and up to the room the Huxley's have so kindly let me use.

I throw myself on the bed and roll over so I'm staring at the ceiling. What is going to happen? I wonder.

My dad's business is everything I've ever wanted. It's the only thing I've ever wanted, besides my family. I roll to my side and stare at my open computer on the desk. And now, maybe something else. Someone..else.
