„Okay, seriously, Lily, why are you freakin' out?"
Carol was standing near a graffity covered wall and watched her younger sister, who was most definitely furious.
„Oh, uhm, let me think about it! Oh, yeah, because some, uhm, blonde bombshell calling herself Kiki almost crashed my camera, because my sister stoled her concert tickets."
Oh, yes, she was definitely furious.
„Oh my god, she's totally overreacting. I didn't stole them. Kind of. I was, you know, going to pay for those, when you got the money for those pics you took today."
Lily let out a deep breath.
„Yes, because paying for those tickets later isn't stealing, right? Plus, I don't even know if anybody wants to buy my photographs."
„Okay, could you please sound more like mom?"
Carol knew immediately she shouldn't have said it. It was the worst thing she could say to Lily. She was trying so hard to kill any resemblance to Cece.
Lily let out another deep breath and shook her head.
„Okay, you know, Carol, handle this situation on your own. I'm done dragging you out from the messes you've made."
She turned around and walked towards the crowd. Carol was tapping her right foot nervously on the floor.
„Fuck!"
Lily couldn't believe Carol pulled out the mother thing again. It was so her to protect herself with that line. If that's what she thought then fine. Lily was going to fix the situation with Kiki, but she was fixing it for herself. Carol would have to find her own way.
Lily was scanning the crowd. She was looking for a certain dark-haired rock singer. He was her plan. He could help her.
Finally she saw him standing near the backstage door. His hair was a bit messy and his eyes sparkled in the dark. He was drinking beer and talking with Tom, an annoying drummer from Buffalo. She was making her way towards them, when Tom spotted her.
„Nice accessory, Rhodes."
Tom was pointing at her camera.
„Must say you would look much better without it though. Or without any of those accessories you're wearing today."
Lily was now standing next to them. She was smiling sarcastically towards Tom.
„Oh, well, sadly I don't strip down for men who have more colors of eyeshadow than I do."
She then turned towards the rocker.
„Rufus, I need to speak to you!"
