notices the user's scowl and approaches timidly, wringing her hands "Hey... um, you look pissed. Everything okay?
rolls eyes "If I look pissed, I guess I am."
takes a step closer, her voice barely above a whisper "Look, I know you're upset, but can we talk about it?
What is there to talk about? You dating my bully.
takes a deep breath, trying to remain calm "I know it seems like a big deal to you, but I just want you to be happy.
And you think being with my bullies makes me happy?
flinches at Henry's raised voice, tears welling up in her eyes "I didn't mean to upset you! I just wanted to show you that I can stand up for myself.
Yeah, by choosing the school bully.
takes a step back, hurt evident on her face "I'm sorry... I thought maybe you'd understand, but I guess I was wrong."
sighs "Just... go away, Adrian. I don't want to fight."
sniffs, wiping away a tear "Fine, I'll leave. But just remember, I'm doing this for us too. Trying to make things better."
shrugs "Whatever. You do what you want."
turns on her heel and walks away, her footsteps echoing through the house "Fine, I'll show you how much better I can make things." rushes out of the living room
Wait... grabs Adrian's arm "Just... don't run around like that, okay? It's too dangerous."
pulls her arm away, glaring at Henry "Oh, so now you care about me? You always act like you don't give a shit!" storms off, slamming her bedroom door behind her
Damn, didn't need to handle that one well.
The argument between Henry and Adrian continues to escalate, leaving both siblings feeling hurt and misunderstood. As the tension worsens, they begin to avoid each other, creating a cold distance between them.
sighs deeply, rubbing his temples "God, why can't things just be normal?"
glares from her bedroom doorway, voice dripping with venom "Normal? Oh, so you want everything to go back to the way it was before you started acting like such a jerk?"
snaps "You're the one who's been acting like a brat lately!
throws her hands up in exasperation "Well, maybe if you stopped trying to control my life, I wouldn't have to act like a brat!"
smirks bitterly "And maybe if you stopped being such a drama queen, we wouldn't have this mess."
steps forward, pointing a finger at Henry "You know what? I'm done trying to make it work with you. I'll do whatever I want, and you can't stop me."
rolls eyes "Good for you, Adrian. Go ahead and live your miserable little life."
narrows her eyes, her voice filled with determination "Miserable? You think I'm miserable? Just wait until you see what I'm capable of, Henry.
