"So what do you think?" Her father asked,
Lola and her father both stood in front of the two-story house, with a cardboard box full of their belongings underneath their arms. From the look of it, Lola didn't consider the house to be bigger than the one they lived in before, but she didn't care. She liked the look of this neighbor hood already. It was a lot different than the other neighbor hoods in the upper part of Beverly Hills.
"It has potential." She nodded,
They both looked over the house once more, and walked on the pavement to take a look inside the house. Lola's father, David, took out his keys from his pocket with his free hand, and opened the front door while Lola stood behind him. And once they got inside, she took notice of the big grin on her father's face. She could see he was pleased with the place.
"Yeah, it has potential." He mumbled satisfied,
He tucked one of his stray brown hairs behind his ear, and scratched his unshaven chin. David, was not like other Fathers, he was a lot more laid back. That was one the qualities Lola liked in her Dad, it made him appear cooler than other Fathers that she knew. She also admired his style as well, similar to the type of guy that wears a rock band logo t-shirt and jeans. David was similar to Lola as well, seeing as they both liked Rock'N'Roll. In fact, sometimes when they had been doing chore duties together, they would play Pink Floyd on their stereo and sing together to keep themselves from being bored.
"Well, let's start unpacking then Dad." She smiled, "Don't want to leave everything to the last minute do we?"
David looked over to her daughter and smiled back, he could see this was going to be a long day or unpacking, but as long as they were together it would not seem so bad.

While Lola put her clothes away in one of the bedroom closets upstairs, she heard her Dad playing the Jimi Hendrix Experience on their CD player down stairs. But while she organized her new room, she took notice of her favorite song playing. In fact, it was actually HER song.
Well she's walking Through the clouds With a circus smile That's running wild
When she was a little girl, the time when her mother was alive, her Dad would sing 'Little Wing' to her before she went to bed at night. Just like a lullaby, except she felt it had more meaning to it.
Butterflies and zebras And moonbeams and a fairytale
Riding with the wind.
She knew her Dad would be humming to it down stairs, which's what he normally did when this song played. And whenever it did, she couldn't help but smile. It reminded her of the times when she lived the good old' days with her Mom and Dad. Without worrying about fitting into high school, or caring about being late with the rent.
Lord, when I'm sad. When I'm sad she comes to me. Without a thousand smiles she gives to me free
Once her Mother died, she knew her Dad would be in debt. At times he couldn't look after the both of them without his wife, and knowing that she wouldn't be coming back made him even sadder. Living in the upper side of LA made their money problems even worse, but since her Mother passed away David had felt they should have kept the house. It was the place where so many of their memories remained. But that was going to change now that he had a good job, and they could start over again. Things would be different.
'It alright' She says 'it's all right' 'Take anything you want from me'
Once the song ended Lola memories of her childhood faded away from her mind, and she now paid more attention to the things she had to unpack. That would often happen to her, remember one thing and the next forget about it like it never happened.
Lola was always the type to not dwell on the past; she tried her best to look towards the future and hope for the best out of life. That's how she always managed not to feel depressed. However she wouldn't have to worry about using that technique too much now, given that she knew her life would start all over again. Not having to worry about the troubles they once had.
