Rita POV:

When we got to the mall, my daughters all rushed out of the car...well, most of them did. Luan just hoped out and slowly walked to the mall with her head tucked down. She didn't seem excited for the mall like the others...which made me think that she was just upset that she wasn't allowed to buy anything comedy related at first. But after a couple of seconds, I can see that my daughter was riddled with guilt. 

Guilt about the incident that occurred only a couple of days ago. 

"Lynn...We need to do something about Luan." I said.

"Sigh...There's not much we can do except for signing her up for therapy which will eat up into our budget." Lynn Said.

"We can't just sit here and do nothing. Look at her..she's not even running into the mall like the others and even if we didn't go then she'll lay in her bed all day and not eat anything." I said.

"Let's just see how this goes..before we make a decision." Lynn said.

Sighing...I nodded and started to walk into the mall. For some reason...I felt like something bad was going to happen to our family...again. But I squashed that feeling down....

Which turned out to be a mistake in the coming weeks.

Lori POV:

Atfer we got into the mall, everyone waited for the three missing members of our family. Luan trudged in and sat down quickly which pleased some of us. Mainly because she wasn't near us and wouldn't bother anybody with her pestering. 

"Mom and Dad better hurry up. I want to see the new nail polishes." Lola said.

"I want to see if there are any new books for me to read." Lucy said.

"Calm down...They're coming in right now. Afterwards...We can split up and go to our respective areas." I said.

"That's good. Especially since we can get away from her." Lynn said.

"Yeah. I don't want her anywhere near me. She almost killed all of our pets with that stupid prank of hers." Lana said.

"Yeah...She broke Linky. And we have to stay in a crummy motel all because of her." Lola said.

"Keep your comments to yourself now. Mom and Dad are coming in." I said. The others grumbled and some just glared at Luan who just kept her eyes trained on the floor.

Part of me felt bad for her, but she deserves this. 

Doesn't she?
