(Hey guys, just letting you know I'm trying a new thing to distinguish my characters, basically, pink dialogue is Lillie and blue is Alex xD )
Alex regretted his tone being so sharp - for it made Callie jump - but he couldn't do anything about it now. He nodded as a thanks and turned to look at Lillie who had turned the picture back around and was frowning at it. She looked up at Alex and spoke in a small voice, "Why is there a picture of you here Alex?" He looked down at her and bit his lip, he so badly wanted to snap, to be cold and push her away from his feelings. But he couldn't. Anyone else and he would have been fine with it, but Lillie....he couldn't be mean to Lillie. "Because I used to live here with my parents Lils.." You could tell he was struggling to speak the words from the way his teeth were gritted and how he was avoiding eye contact. Lillie's eyes widened and she looked at him, "You had a mummy and daddy?" He nodded and Lillie very gently held out the picture to Alex, noticing his unwillingness to talk, "Here you go Alex. You look cute in this picture, very happy." She smiles at him and as he takes the picture and makes eye contact he manages a very weak smile. Lillie looks over at the others and grips Alex's hand in a sign of support, "Let's go, it's almost morning time!" She grins at them all, trying to cheer up the unhappy atmosphere.
