A sibling drive (Lauren and Randy)

"Shut up" she said gob smacked. "No...you can't"

"I can't what?" Randy asked.

"I was two! You whore" she said. "And how do you know she is yours?"

Randy rolled his eyes.

"She has a birth certificate." Randy said.

"....You are an idiot" she said. "How could you let this happen?!"

"I don't know...it was a mistake 15 years ago." Randy said.

"If it was me, you would have gone mad....so unfair"

"Cause you don't need to be getting pregnant." Randy said.

"And you don't need to be having a 15 year old daughter. I bet she is bleeding you dry already" she said rolling her eyes.

"She's actually not." Randy said.

"You just wait, beofore you know it, she will act like she runs the place, and will bleed you dry. Next thing you know, she is gone with all your money, and is with her mother"

"Lauren, I doubt that will happen." Randy said.

"Well when you want money, don't come to me" she said.

"Trust me, I won't." Randy said.

"So,hows mom and dad?" she asked. "I haven't seen them...in like forever"

"They're good, worried about you of course." Randy replied.

"Great" she muttered.

"Shouldn't that be a good thing?" Randy asked.

"Yeah but...normally when they are worried, it's dad shouting and mom crying" she said.

"And how's Elle?"

"Mom's crying...dad is just upset." Randy said.

"She's doing okay, I think." He replied.

"Well that's a change" she said.

"You think?" she asked. "Have you not seen her in a while?"

"I think he's finally realized that yelling doesn't solve shit." Randy said.

"I have, she's just been through a lot as of late." He said.

"Well that's good" she said.

"And what's been happening?"

"In your case it is." Randy said.

"She had a run in with her step dad, was almost..raped, and then overdosed on sleeping pills." Randy said.

"Oh my god" she said. "Why didn't anyone tell me?!"
