Lexi listened to him talk about Jaime as she thought it over and had to agree that Jaime tended to be a busy body, but at a time like this they needed someone with their head attached.<b>"Jaime was the closest though to start getting everything in order and figured out though."</b>She stated as she looked to Andrew as she debated on how to possibly get away from him though once his pizza came he would probably go back to his room like he used to.<b>"I have just been doing what she asks me to since I wouldn't even have a clue of knowing where to begin with all of this."</b>She admitted sadly as she thought of her mother and she would never be here to visit again.<br/><br/>It was tempting to just move back here and live the rest of her life here while doing something that is different then what she had gone to school for. The thought of it had entered her mind before, but she never really decided on it and even now she wasn't sure it would be the best. Not making her dreams come true was a hard thing to get over for her and even though performing in bars was fun, it just wasn't the same and even teaching dance wasn't the same. As she studied Andrew, she felt a bit envious that he was able to make it all happen for himself though he did work incredibly hard to get there. Lexi doubted he let anyone close that would drag him down or make him feel so inferior that he wouldn't be able to make his dreams a reality. Pinching the bridge of her nose, she knew that these thoughts wouldn't help her either and if anything just made her realize how far apart they had become over the years. Dropping her hand, she glanced to the photos again wondering what their mom would say seeing them like this. Lexi hadn't even told her the whole truth of why she hadn't had made her dreams a reality, it was something she couldn't even tell Jaime.<br/><br/>When Andrew turned towards her, she glanced at him as he spoke once more filling the silence with the sound of his voice. He explained how he was kicking himself for not visiting sooner and seemed to have so many deadlines that he had to meet that he couldn't afford the time. Lexi figured as much since she tended to ask her mom if he had been by to see her or not, but it seemed he let himself get wrapped up like always. Hearing how he was asked by Kadokawa to come design for them had her even feeling more down as she noted the distance just growing further as she contemplated making her escape soon just so she didn't have to compare herself to him. It was good he decided to stay where he was comfortable and he still made money either way, way more than she could as she worked both jobs part time and hardly afforded to scrape by. The trip here had drained what little she had left as she had to figure out how to pay her rent next month among other things.<br/><br/><b>"Sounds like you have been having a pretty exciting life, but it's good your staying where you feel happy to be at."</b>Lexi stated with a small smile though it didn't reach her eyes as she glanced away and then tensed at his question. Of course he would ask that question and she couldn't really blame him since he must have thought she had made it just like him, but it didn't change the fact that it bothered her. Now she had to decide to tell him the truth or to lie and keep him in the dark since she doubted they would see each other again after this. Just knowing that had her drawing into herself as she gave another smile that was fake, but was practice so well it looked genuine.<b> "It's been great and pretty busy."</b>Lexi lied easily as she glanced at him.<b> "I have only met a few famous people in passing, but I am working on reaching their level soon." <br/>
</b><br/>Lexi hated lying, but she didn't feel like she had any other choice as the door bell rang announcing the delivery of his pizza. Thankfully, this meant her escape as she quickly went for the stairs and headed to her room to escape her lies. Closing the door to her room softly, she walked in further before sitting on her bed and sighing. Lexi always hated lying and was usually an honest person, but admitting to him that she hadn't gotten far in life just didn't sit well with her. Plus, it wasn't like he was going to stick around after this and she wouldn't have to talk to him again. It was the easy way out as she got back up and went through her suitcase before going into her attached bathroom to shower. Lexi just wanted to clean up a bit and possibly head out to a new club that had opened up since her last visit. Getting out of the house to drink and dance sounded pretty good at the moment. Making the shower quick, she got out to dry off and reapply her make up before slipping into her change of underwear and bra. The weather had been decent as she located her favorite ripped up dark blue jean shorts and pulled out a black top that was in the style of a vest. It hugged her upper body as it showed a bit of her chest as well as her midriff before slipping on a pair of socks and her favorite dark brown knee high boots. The boots had a small heel on it, but heels never bothered her while out dancing and gave her a few extra inches of height.<br/><br/>Deciding to leave her hair down, she finished getting ready and paused at her bedroom door as she looked at her phone and saw Jaime had text her. It seemed she was going to be late handling a few things and would be by in the morning to take them to see their mother's attorney. It seemed Jaime asked her to let Andrew know since he didn't look at his phone too often was her excuse, but she had a feeling Jaime was trying to get the two of them to start talking again like they used to. Sighing, she opened her door and went to his bedroom before knowing on the door and opening it to look at him.<br/><br/><b>"Jaime said she can't come by tonight, but will be by in the morning to take us to see our mother's attorney about the will."</b>Lexi explained to Andrew even though she had wanted to avoid talking to him so she didn't let anything slip.<b> "I was going to head to a new club that opened up and don't know if you had planned on doing anything. Do you want me to find the extra key for you real quick just in case you want to go do something?"</b>She asked as she glanced at his window seeing it was late afternoon and the club probably wouldn't be too busy yet, but it didn't mean she couldn't start drinking to forget it all.<br/><br/>Lexi wasn't an alcoholic, but she found drinking made the pain she felt a bit easier to handle at time. It was something she discovered early on when going to her college and when she dated Matt, who was the guy who destroyed her and had her turning to the alcohol to just get by. She still had a scar on her shoulder and on her hip that reminded her of it all the time. Even though she loved being with her current band, she was only in it for the female vocals, but once they started getting big she would step out and let them find someone that could help them go up and not drag them down. Glancing at her phone before glancing at Andrew, she waited to her what he decided before she would take off.
