Royalty is but of the heart. Not by what you own.

Lydia.
I pursed my lips thinking about it,"My parents tried their hardest but it became too much. I know they possibly still care about me but I haven't seen them since I left. And I guess Trigger cares about me,"I said shrugging as I looked at him.

[haileyjordan]

Landon,
My lips moved to form a slight smile, but it quickly went away. "Have you ever thought about trying to go find them?" I asked, with a shrug. "You can't just lose the feeling, I know your parents love you if they loved you before."

[lauren.]

Lydia.
I shrugged,"I have thought about it but I can't really keep thinking about it. I have to keep living on my own,"I said shrugging as I looked at him.

[haileyjordan]

Lydia,
I nodded, "Well I'm here, and I mean it." I said, looking at her. I looked down at her leg, noticing it getting worse. "You're going to need medication for that, unless it's going to become extremely infected."

[lauren.]

Lydia.
I looked down at it and shrugged like it was no big deal,"I've had this happen before. It's no big deal,"I said crossing my arms. Like either of us could afford medicine for me.

[haileyjordan]

Landon,
I shook my head, "No Lydia, this one will only get worse. Just stay here, okay?" I said, looking into her eyes. "I'll be right back." I looked at her a bit longer, "just stay. Please." I turned around quickly leaving the forest. I needed her to like me.

[lauren.]

Lydia.
The way he looked at me... I don't know it was all confusing and I didn't know what to do. I sighed and leaned against one of the trees making sure to keep myself hidden. I didn't know how he was going to get medicine. It was extremely expensive

[haileyjordan]

Landon,
I made my way into the city, heading to the nearest pharmacy. I went in, careful not to make any direct eye contact with anyone. I went to the counter and asked for the medicine Lydia needed, not totally looking at the pharmacist. It was very expensive, and I wasn't sure how I was going to explain this to Lydia but I'd figure it out. I paid and quickly left, heading back to the forest.

[lauren.]

Lydia.
I yawned as I slide own the trunk of the tree, sitting down. I could easily just have nothing to do with him and leave. But for some reason I wanted to stay. I wanted to get to know him better, or to see what he is hiding.

[haileyjordan]

Gavin,
I came back, trying to hide the fact that I was completely exhausted. I walked over to her, breathing slightly heavily as I kneeled down next to her. "Do you want to do it yourself or do you want help?" I asked, already knowing the answer.

[lauren.]

Lydia.
My eyes widened as I saw the medicine in is hand,"How? How did you get that?"I asked taking my eyes away from the bag to his face. There was absolutely no way he could have afforded that and it's not exactly easy to steal from the pharmacy.

[haileyjordan]

Gavin,
I shook my head, "That doesn't matter," I told her. "I'm trying to help you so asking questions isn't going to help you heal any faster." I knew she was curious, but I had no legit explanation but telling her the truth-which I couldn't do.

[lauren.]

Lydia.
I rolled my eyes,"Of course it matters. You can explain while you help me,"I said crossing my arms as I narrowed my eyes slightly.

[haileyjordan]

Landon,
I swallowed as I looked at her. I kept quiet as I began to clean her leg, "I just can't okay?" I said sharply. "I just want to help you, not every act of kindness needs to be questioned, Lydia. You don't need to know how I got it." She was making me nervous.

[lauren.]

Lydia.
I didn't like how he got so defensive with me,"Yes this is an act of kindness but this is one expensive act of kindness, Levi,"I said wincing slightly from the pain.
