Lexy cries in her pillow with her mom rubbing a hand over her shoulder in an attempt to soothe her down. "I know you didn't mean it, baby."
"But... he didn't know. I wanted to tell him, mom. I... I... missed my chance."
"It's not too late," she smiles, pulling her head down gently and kisses her hair. "It's not too late, honey."
"I wish we never have to move. I'm different than him, mom. He's rich, good-looking and sociable and I'm... I'm..."
"You're amazing," her mother says. It's because you're my mother, Alexandra says. She thinks that her mother is just being pitiful towards her, which leads her into crying into her pillow again.
"I'll always love you nevertheless, Sandra." Her mother tells her and pulls her into a hug.
Alexandra smells a strong stench of her perfume, her moisturizer and a faint scent of warm, motherly love.

Went out to go to Alexander that night
Her mother didn't know that she took off with her Volkswagen
It was then when she saw a truck driving towards her when she remembered
It was that she didn't know how to drive.
