Mark: Eli--zabeth... I-i... *speechless*
*Elizabeth slams the door shut and runs to her room waiting in the parking lot. Mark runs after her. *
Mom: honey, what happened? are you okay?
Elizabeth: Im fine says aggressively can we pleas go home now.
By the time mark got to the parking lot they had already left and he didn't get to apologise to her.
Elizabeth runs to her run crying while pushing her face against her pillow, after getting herself together she goes to her table and writes to the stars.
Dear Stars, I don't know what to feel but i know im scared and sad and just frustrated, i also took it all out on mark without even thinking of what he might feel... Im just sick and tired of always taking medications and worrying if im gonna live the next day or tomorrow... what am i gonna do just sit here and feel hopeless? I know i always go to you help i need help and guidance i definitely need it now. I just hope by the time i see him again i'll be able to show my face... plus he called me pretty today... thats something right... but he probably hates me now.. What am i gonna do?
Love, Elizabeth
* folds paper and puts it into the jar with the rest of her letters.*
Ends the night with a heavy heart but somehow a changing one, could mark be the one to change her point of view in life or make it better?
