Chloe cried with joy as her friends came to her party. Adrien was first to come. Chloe hugged him.
     "Adrien! See my new sunglasses!" She exclaimed. Adrien's face was in awe as she showed him the oversized glasses.
    "Wow! Those are awesome Chloe!" Adrien yelled. He had a thing for yelling his words. Chloe gleefully laughed. Adrien was her best friend. Her father walked into the living room at that moment.
     "Daddy! Look! Louis got me sunglasses! Adrien is here too!" Chloe exclaimed as she tugged on her father's shirt.
    "No. Ssstop Chloe. Don't do thisss righ now." Andre slurred. He slapped her hand away. She started to tear up.
     "Daddy, it's my birthday today. You didn't say happy birthday." She wimpered. Louis took another pill and looked at his sister. The tears were streaming down her face. Andre bent down to his daughter's level.
      "I don't care. Ssstop talking to me you little-"
       "Papa!" Louis shouted. The room went silent except for Chloe's sobs. She ran over to Adrien and cried. Louis and Andre stared another down. Blue eyes on blue. Andre finally waved his hand and grabbed a brown bag. Louis turned to his sister and her friend. She was calming down now. He noticed that it had been a half an hour and nobody else showed up. Chloe hadn't realized yet. He looked at Chloe, who was now smiling with her friend. Oh, well. Friends will be friends. Louis popped another pill.
