Laila growled to herself as she pushed open the sewer grate and jumped onto the roof.
"I'm 17 but they still treat me like a kid. It pisses me off."
"Laila?" She turned to notice Sacks there, arms crossed against the vent.
"Hey eric."
"Something happen?"
"Argument with my brothers."
"Oh." He walked on sat on the edge beside her. "Wanna talk about it?"
"They're treating me like a little kid, even though I'm 17. It pisses me off." Laila sighed, looking down at the city. All she's ever wanted was someone who she could call family and didn't treat her like a baby.
"Well..I was gonna suggest something, but it might be a bad idea."
"Come on, say it." He was surprised how persistent she was to hear his idea. His phone ringing, he remembered he had a meeting to go to. He got up and turned his back to her.
"Why don't you go out on your own?" Laila blinked in surprise and turned to find Sacks gone.
"And he thought that'd be a bad idea." She smiled to herself before getting up, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. She took another breath and opened her eyes. "But...do I wanna abandon them?"
(A/N: yes, another cliffhanger..I am so good at these-again thanks for all the reviews.
