## Early History

Lily and Sofia used to skate together all the time. They were partners, up until they were eight. After that, Sofia had to move away as her father had to move for work. They tried to stay in touch for like a month or two, but at the age of eight, they didn’t really have the attention span or many possibilities to stay in touch with someone that’s six hours before their time.

Sixteen years ago, her parents decided to split up. And as it is, everything gets split in half when a divorce doesn’t go through peacefully. The house had to be sold, the money for it got split in half. Every single one of their belongings; sold and the money split in half.  Their children. Split in half. They thought, “good thing we have two kids, twins even. Makes it easier.” Her father got one, and her mother one.

“*Lily is staying with me. She is a girl. She needs her mother. You can take the boy,*” she said. Lily was five, well four but soon to be five. She didn’t understand what was going on. All she knew was, she would never see her brother ever again.

Her dad wanted her in his life, and he wanted to be part of hers. So before he left, they made a deal. Aaron and Lily would meet up every Sunday at the ice rink in town. Lily told my mom she had new skating lessons every Sunday. So every Sunday, her dad would meet her there, together with Aaron. They would skate for a while, then grab some food before he took her back to the rink so her mom could come pick her up.

When Lily grew older, she used to lie to her mother about where she would spend the nights. She would tell her she was going to a friend’s house, when in reality, Lily went to stay with her father and Aaron for the weekend.

Her father remarried when she was eight. Lily didn't take it very well. She took it even worse when she found out Liz had a daughter. Aaron loved Ana right from the start. He played with her at all times. When Lily went to see her dad and Aaron, Aaron only ever wanted them to play with Ana. Which led to Lily getting mad at him. Eventually her jealousy got so bad that she didn’t even want to look at Ana anymore. She would do cruel things to get attention. She even cut Aaron’s cuddle-blankie in half.
