Loren slammed down her phone after her mother hung up, annoyance visible on every inch of her body. She was lucky the force didn’t crack the screen, not that she cared as the moment. “Jesus fuck,” she practically yelled, dropping her head into her hands as she rubbed at her eyes, an irritated sigh following the words. Another typical lecture from her mom, going off about her cousins and the importance of her being better than them, no doubt spurred on when they saw the photos of her halloween costume. You should’ve worn something more appropriate, like Helena’s gown. Yeah, go fuck yourself. Loren looked back up, noticing Alfie’s eyes on her, immediately flushing slightly as she realized she was very much not alone anymore. “Sorry. I did not mean to be so loud about that. Does your family ever just...drive you insane? Makes you just want to scream, you know. Which I guess I did. Sorry, again.”
