Looking at the fence she frowned, "Maybe we really should go looking for her or Mr. Gibbins. Maybe we could just take Millie with us so she's not alone." She knew they shouldn't take Millie out of the play area, but Mr. Gibbin's couldn't be upset if they were doing it for Millie's safety or well being, right?
Minerva picked up on something was wrong and looked at her first year friend concerned. "Alexa are you alright? You know if you need to talk about anything I'm always around. I have had enough family issues of my own the last few years. So I get it.." Then she talked about a best friend and Min smiled. "Well that's nice that you have a muggle best friend. When I lived with my parents before here, we moved so much that I never really got to know people. So didn't really have many friends." She looked at the ground a bit and then back up, "So when I go back to the States it's just myself and my grandparents for the entire summer." Not that she minded her grandparents, but it would be nice to be around some people her own age.
Lex took what the girl said into consideration before giving her response.
"No...I don't think we need to go find him...them being here means he's near by so he must have heard me calling." The girl had been loud enough; she was sure of that.
"I think we should stay here with Millie and see if Pepper comes back. It'd be awful if she came back and couldn't find anyone including her friend; she might run off again." And don't even suggest one staying behind. Nope. That's how people got killed. Lex was an expert on survival, she should know.
Hearing Minnie say that only reminded her of the horrible situation that fabricated itself at her home. Her eyes lowered as she wondered whether or not to even say anything. The girl seemed genuinely concerned afterall and it couldn't have hurt to tell someone, especially someone else who had 'family problems'.
"It's nothing really, just...my Daddy's trying to replace me...Amanda got a baby and now I have to share..." And it was terrible!!! While she was here that
CREATURE was at home receiving all her father's love and affection. Once she got home it would have to be returned to wherever it was coming from. Yup.
"And I'm sorry to hear that." Her grandparents weren't her favourite people so she couldn't see the girl enjoying it. If that was the case she wouldn't have wanted to go home either.
"Can't you just go home with a friend?"
