"no, no no! the deal was that you guys get to come to the concert and you have to go to sleep as soon as we got back to the hotel." adam learned incredinly quickly just how impossible it was to negotiate with a sixteen year old. jane was not the same kid from when he moved away. if you want me to go to bed you have to promise to take me shopping tomorrow. "i don't—no! no! you know what, fine. stay up. do what you want." adam threw his hands up in defeat, leaving the girls room, closing the adjoining door between lily and jane's room and his shared room with scarlet. he collapsed on their bed, face first for a moment before he rolled over, staring up at the ceiling. "scarlet, please tell me how this was actually a good idea and that it'll get easier." he groaned, turning to look at her with pathetic puppy eyes. @dozenrozez
