Why does life have to be so shit? I guess that saying is true, life is like a pack of cards - and I've been dealt the crappiest hand anyone has ever ceased to be dealt. Luckily, hopefully, maybe, I can actually deal with this. No, no I can't. But I'll have to at least pretend to be strong. I don't want no one pointing me out for being weak or for being upset for their stupid, unknown, teenage reasons. I will never have that. Ever. Any way, any how, I'll show them a lesson. I'll show them that - ha!!

I can just chase him. Chase him there, profess my love and, voila! Everything will be solved! Oh my God, I'm - or my conscience is - a genius! I'll pack my bags right now.

We could hear clattering from upstairs as the saucepan was boiling subsequently burning our dinner.  "Lizzie?" 3...2....1...

Miguel, Dannie and I stood in a line crammed closely next to each other. "Li-"

"You freakin' called?" Before we could start to shout, she has stormed out of her room and currently troopering the stairs. Mm.

"What's all that noise from your door?" She smiled.

"Oh, I'm only going to like, Canada or the United States!" She chimed happily. We clicked our tongues and tutted.

"What? Why?" Nervously, she played with her hair and fiddled with her fingers.

"Love. I'm doing this for love. Don't say no to a woman in love.." She sighed melodramatically. Dannie pushed out a full blown, fake laugh.

"Yeah. When I say love, don't think that I'm naive. I know what I'm saying."

"Yeah, yeah." They tutted again and sighed while tilting their heads at their daughter. "So this is what you refused to say."
