Laney's about to hit rock bottom. I felt that she needed to before she could come up
"What the hell!" Lillian shouted at Kana. Lillian was confused as to what Cam did to Kana to cause such anger. Cam was standing holding his nose. People had come around to help him. Kana was holding his hand wincing in pain. "What was that for?"
"You were supposed to be my date!" Kana shouted. He was angry at Cam for stealing his thunder. Lillian stared at Kana in disbelief. She could not believe what she was hearing. They had agreed to go to the Festival together as friends, she had never agreed it to be a date. She thought she had made that very clear when she had talked to him.
"Your date?" Lillian asked incredulously. "Your date? I was never your date! We were never going on a date! It was merely as friends that we decided to go together!" Lillian glared at Kana angrily. She couldn't believe the senselessness of the violence.
"I-" Kana stopped. He wasn't sure what else to say. He was angry, hurt and frustrated. He had felt something between him and Lillian when they had agreed to go to the festival together. Had he just imagined the feelings? He had thought they had made a connection. Lillian turned away from him, to check on Cam. Cam appeared to be fine, he wasn't sure why everyone was fussing over him. Suddenly Ina, the mayor of Konohana was next to Kana.
"Young man," Ina replied. "That is not acceptable behavior!" He was used to being chastised by Ina. She would often disagree with how Kana chose to live his life. People in Konohana tended to think he was irresponsible and too impulsive. Kana didn't care, he chose to live his life how he wanted. So what if he had destroyed a few things in the process?
"Sorry," Kana mumbled.
"I'm afraid that Sorry is not good enough," Ina stated. She grabbed Kana by the elbow. "You're going to have to come with me."
"Where?" Kana asked.
"I need to lock you up for the evening until Sheriff Harris can get here," Ina explained. Kana's eyes widened. Ina had always been the first one to chastise him, but she rarely locked him up.
"Is that really needed?" Kana asked in fear.
"Yes Kana," Ina stated. "You just assaulted someone! That is not acceptable!" Ina dragged Kana away, with her son in tow.
"Are you alright?" Lillian asked Cam. Cam smiled.
"Yeah, I'm alright, he didn't really hit me all that hard," Cam replied. His nose stung a bit, but Kana had not even hit him hard enough to make him bleed. Lillian was tired of the fighting. This was the second fight that was caused here in the Twin Towns as a result of her. She had moved away from the city to get away from all the drama, not to add more.
"Can I at least walk you home?" Lillian asked.
"I would never say no to that," Cam replied. Lillian linked arms with Cam, and they said their goodbyes to everyone.
Laney watched the duo carefully. She still did not understand why Cam was such good friends with Lillian. Everyone seemed to think that Lillian was so sweet, but clearly she wasn' was the second act of violence that was surrounded by her. She could not be that great if she was causing all this pain in the twin towns.
"I can't believe it!" Laney whispered to Georgia who was standing beside her.
"I know!" Georgia gasped.
"I mean who does she think she is?" Laney asked. Georgia turned to Laney confused.
"Don't you mean he?" Georgia asked.
"No," Laney stated. "I meant Lillian!"
"Lillian didn't do anything," Georgia said confused. "I thought you were talking about Kana punching Cam."
"No, I meant Lillian, she just comes into town and think that she can just take over Cam's attention," Laney sneered.
"Really Laney?" Georgia asked. "That's what you are upset about? Cam is supposedly one of your best friends, and he was hurt tonight, and what you're concerned about is why Cam is paying attention to Lillian? Really Laney, I don't even know who you are anymore!" Georgia was upset with Laney. Ever since She had called off her engagement with Phillip, Laney had turned into a self absorbed brat. Georgia knew that the real Laney was down in there somewhere, and she only hoped that Laney would snap out of whatever frame of mind she was in these days.
"Georgia!" Laney stated. Tears streamed down Laney's face. "You've always taken Lillian's side!"
"How many times do I have to tell you there are no sides!" Georgia exclaimed in aggravation. "Laney I love you, but I don't know what's going on with you. When my best friend returns, tell her I am looking for her!" Georgia walked away from Laney, she felt almost disgusted by what her friend was saying. Laney seem to think there were sides, but there were no sides. Georgia could be friends with both of them.
"So you're choosing her?" Laney stated. Georgia whirled around.
"No, Laney, I'm just not going to enable you to keep this up. This needs to end sometime. It is not Lillian's fault. None of this is. You need to realize this," Georgia chided.
"Well I guess I'm losing both of my best friends," Laney sneered, then stormed off. She started walking towards Bluebell, hoping that somebody would follow her. As she navigated through the mountain pass, her anger grew. It was evident that no one was following her. Laney started crying. She wondered when her life had become this. When had it gotten so out of hand? Why was everyone abandoning her?
Phillip couldn't help but feel bad for Laney, but there was also his loyalty to his sister. He couldn't understand why she hated Lillian so much. Lillian was a sweet person, even if she did have bad taste in men. Her latest love interest being no exception. But Lillian herself was a sweetheart. Georgia was in tears upset over the confrontation that had just occurred.
"You did the right thing," Phillip assured Georgia. Even though he was still trying to get Laney back, he knew what Georgia had done was right, and what Laney had said was wrong.
"Are you sure?" George asked. Tears streamed down her face. Everyone agreed with Phillip. Even Laney's father Howard.
"Georgia, I don't know what's happened to Laney. But you're right ever since she called off the wedding, she's been different. I wanted to blame Phillip," Howard turned towards Phillip. "Phillip, I see now that you are not the one to blame." Phillip was surprised by this declaration from ladies father.
"Thank you?" Phillip said softly. At that point, the party was all but over. Everyone started to pack up. The mood had been ruined, even though typically the festival would not have ended for another hour and a half, everyone disbursed
Kana couldn't believe that Ina had stayed true to her word and had placed him in the cell for the evening. Town hall held a small jail cell, which was rarely ever used. It was in the basement level. Kana had thought Ina had just been kidding, But when she had instructed him to get in and then locked the door behind herself, he felt devastated.
"How can you do this to me?" Kana yelled. "This is extreme! "
"You did this to yourself," Ina replied sadly. Kana had come to town and started his business. Ina had always felt like he a was younger brother. So to see him react this way this evening had been incredibly sad. She walked away from him, and continue to walk to her upstairs bedroom. She could not allow her feelings to interfere with what was right.
Kana sat in his cell brooding, and angry. No one understood his side of things. Everyone saw Cam as the good guy. But Cam had interrupted his date. And Lillian, Lillian had the nerve to say it was actually a date. Kana was angry. Who did Lillian think she was? And who did Cam think he was? Why did everyone in the twin towns continually think that they were better than him? He had been looked over one too many times, he couldn't allow this to keep happening he started developing a plan, for when he was out of the cell. He would get what he deserved.
