       Liana’s POV

   I have been waiting for almost 2 hours in front of Gaea’s house waiting for her to come out. I called her but she would not pick up also sent a bunch of text messages and voice mails all to futility, she didn’t respond. I’ve had enough and I’m about to climb out of my car and storm over to the door and bang on it aggressively when I see Gaea slamming their door shut loudly and stomping the ground that leads to where I am packed rather aggressively.

“Drama queen”,

     I mumble under my breadth as she enters the car and slams my door in like manner to her house door.

     “Careful with that G, my car ain’t the cause of your life frustration”, I say trying to douse the aura of tension in the atmosphere as I insert the key into the ignition and start the car, she doesn’t budge and just keeps her gaze on nothing in particular, she just stares deadly at the road.
   “Drive”,Gaea said with a strained voice.
     “G, are you okay?”

      “Just drive in silence please”,

     “Okay, now I know something is wrong and I’m not moving this car until we talk about it”,I say turning off the car and taking out the key from the ignition.

      “I’m just gonna leave then”,she says turning to face me, sparing me a quick glance before turning to the door opening it.

She definitely knows how to get me,

“Fine, I wont force you if you don’t want to talk but please don’t leave”.

    I start the car again and step on the gas, driving us to the only place Gaea feels comfortable, a safe space for both herself and I.
       Even if she didn’t tell me I know something is wrong because it is so unlike her to be in a bad mood on a Sunday. We continue driving in silence but the tension in the atmosphere can cause an earthquake.

I occasionally throw glances at Gaea to see if she’s okay. She’s sobbing silently and her eyes are more red and puffed than they were when she first entered the car. I’m uneasy so I apply more force on the accelerating pedal hoping that she will be ready to talk once we get to our little home away from home.

I turn off the car as soon as we are  parked at the entrance of this small house. I turn around to speak to Gaea but, she flings open the door and walk in the direction of the house. I follow suit, taking strides to catch up with her but she walks so fast into the house, enters into the theatre and shuts the door making sure to click the lock.
       I sigh looking up at the closed door and place my phone on the counter walking into our room and into the bathroom to take a shower feeling frustrated by her behavior,

“Why won't she just talk to me? It's seriously not that hard to let someone in", I mumble to myself raking my fingers through my hair.

I climb out of the bath tub throwing on my clothes and then peeping out the door to see if Gaea has left her confinement but there is no sign of her around and the door of the theatre is still closed.

I pick up my phone from the kitchen counter and order pizza. While waiting, I take out a big ice cream bowl and prepare ice cream for both of us not forgetting to add both of our favorite toppings, cherries, banana wafer cubes, chocolate wafer drumsticks, strawberries and chocolate chips, I know it’s a weird combination but we both enjoy it.

Once I’m done whipping up my masterpiece and putting it in the refrigerator, there is a knock on the door, “pizza delivery”, I say using the same singsong voice as the delivery guy...

   ”Hey Andrew”, I say as I open the door and collect the pizza from him before handing him the money,

   “Hey Emiliana, thanks for always patronizing us and here is your…”
