As soon as Eleanor leaves, Lana starts with her tantrums, can this girl ever breathe peace?
"Katie, why do I always feel like you're trying to exclude me from everything? I have a right to know what's going on!"
I sigh, feeling the frustration bubbling up inside me.
"Lana, let's be clear. You're Zayn's ex-girlfriend. You don't have the same level of involvement or responsibility in this situation as I do. So please, stay in your lane."
Her eyes widen in shock, her face flushing with anger. I don't care
"Excuse me? I may be his ex, but I still care about him!"
I hold her gaze, refusing to back down.
"I don't understand that, Lana. But right now, we need to focus on keeping Zayn safe. And that means respecting boundaries."
She tries opens her mouth to respond, but before she can say anything, Candy steps in, her voice calm but firm.
