I finally got Laura to come downstairs and eat the left overs of yesterday's dinner. We were talking a bit and soon my parents walked down and sat with us.

Mark: So where have you been living?

Laura: Well they just took my house a few days ago so I've been sleeping on benches or something

Stormie: Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry

Laura: Thanks

Ross: So where are you gonna be living now?

Laura: I don't know

Then something struck me.

Ross: You can live here!

Laura: I can?

Ross:(nods) Yes you can

Stormie: Uh.... sweetie, can your father and I talk to you for a second please?

Ross: Sure mom

We excuse ourselves from the table and go upstairs to my room.

Ross:(sits on his bed) What do you want to talk about?

Mark: Son, we don't have room for her to stay here. There's only 2 rooms, your mom and I's then yours

Ross: But she's been living on a par bench for days guys, she doesn't have anywhere else to go

Stormie: What about her family? They can talk care of her

Ross: What if she doesn't have any family? She doesn't have her parents anymore, who knows

Mark: We'll just ask her

Ross: And if she doesn't can she stay here?

Stormie: We'll see

Why can't they just agree with all the other things? I walk out of my room and downstairs to see Laura still sitting at the table with her barely eaten food.

Ross: Laura, if you don't mind me asking but do you have any other family members?

Laura:(Shakes her head) My family has disowned me but I don't like them

Ross: How come?

Laura: My dad only has a older brother but he's in jail for murdering his wife, and both my grandparents are in a retirement home

Ross: What about your mom's side?

Laura: They disowned me (sighs) every single one of them. They think that my dad and I are the cause of my mom's death

Ross:(sits down next to her) I'm sorry Laura, I never knew someone could have such a terrible life

Laura: Yeah well not everyone can have their prince charming and live happily ever after

Ross: Yeah, so you don't have anyone to look out for you?

Laura:(Shakes her head) No one, if your parents don't want me here then I can just find some other place to live

Ross:(Shakes his head) It's no trouble at all. Why don't you take a bath to clear your mind

Laura: I don't have any clothes

Ross: I have clothes for you, don't worry. I'll run your bath, you rest here

Laura:(nods)

I run upstairs to the bathroom and run her bath. I was looking for the bubbles but couldn't find him. Hmm...

Ross: Mom!

Stormie:(runs in) Yeah?

Ross: Where are the bubbles?
