Mum, Why are you packing?" I asked her curiously because they didn't mention any upcoming trip.

"Darling, your grandma had a heart attack, she's in the coma. Your dad and I are going to look after her for some weeks until she recovers."my mum sobbed her eyes were red and swollen.

"You will have to stay at Mrs' Smith place. I already call her, she is very happy to have you at her place." that was a lot of stuff to take on.

"What? never! I won't stay there, I'm coming with you, I want to see grandma, I miss her." I objected.

.

"Come on, Azza. They are very good people." my dad told me.

"I will stay at home. I'm grown up and Mike will be here." I insisted.

"Darling, Mike too will be gone for some days. He will be gone to Australia for a project. It won't be good to let a girl stay alone." my parents told me.

"Pack your things quickly sweetie," my mum ordered me.

"Mike, are you going to Australia?" I asked him.

"Yeah, I'm sorry, I can't cancel the trip if I could I would have."

"Ok, it's fine," I answered desperately.

"Heyy, don't be sad. Everything will be fine."Mike told me.

"I wish it was," I said.

I went to my room to pack my things. I can't believe, l have to stay in the same house as Caleb.

I was so sad, tears flooded my eyes, I was supposed to see my grandma for the summer holidays. I heard footsteps toward my room, it was my mum she hugged me, "Everything will be okay." my Mum said.

"Mum, as you won't be here you can lend me your car?" I asked her.

"I'm sorry, but you taking my car is not happening. You are too clumsy, remember when I bought your first bicycle you broke it the same day."

"Mum, come on I was still a kid I'm grown up now, how will I go to school?"

"I'm sure Caleb will drop you." mum told me.

"Wait, what did you just say Caleb? He goes to school on a freaking bike."

"Wasn't it one of your dream to ride a bike." mum said.

"Yeah, but I would never get on a bike with a bad boy like Caleb.I'm too young to die," I exclaimed.

"Fine, fine I will give you some extra money. You can take a taxi."

"Seriously mum... It would be easy if you simply lend me your car." I tried sounding desperate but it didn't work.

She didn't reply, her silence told me everything "you're never getting mummy's car"

I've got an idea, I will call Drake one of Mike's friend he's a car mechanic, he could lend me a car.

Azalea: Hi Drake, it Azalea.

Drake: Hey dude, how are you doing?

Azalea: I'm good, I kind of need a little help, can you lend me your car for a few days?

Drake: Umm...Uhhh, my car...wait I can lend you my Chevy pickup orange truck.

Azalea: Umm...is not too old?

Drake: It's not that bad. Wait, why do you need a car?

Drake: My parents won't be at home for some days so I needed a car to go to school.
