Love is not a thing to understand. 

Love is not a thing to feel. 

Love is not a thing to give and receive. 

Love is a thing only to become 

And eternally be.

I began laughing and joking with the others... but only slightly. Yvonne shifted uncoftably in the black leather seats of our Santa fei. The car was as old as myself, im surpised the engine isnt after dying out on us yet. Maybe i spoke to soon because with a huff and a chug the engine gave its last breaths and broke down. i pulled to the side of the road with what little power it had left. I let out a small sigh as everyone began questioning why i pulled over. "Whats going on Alicia?" Arianna asked quietly. "Cars engine is gone..." i whispered loud enough for everyone to hear. "Well we better start walking!" Jerome said opening the car door and putting Arianna down outside then dragging himself and Bernadette out. Mitch and Adam got out next then i got out and helped Yvonne out. i shut the car doors and took out my phone. I dialed the first number on my speed dial... Car repair. I had it there incase the car had gave out sooner then now. Bernadette and Adam sat on the hood of the broken car and started to play on their phones.

Soon enough a large white van pulled up beside us. A man older then 30 got out with a new engine and a wrench and opened the hood of the car not speaking. "The car will take longer then i expected to repair maybe a week or so..." the man said and took out his phone. he dialed a 3 diget number and mumbled something before hanging up. "A tow truck will be here shortly." he explained as I nodded and thanked him. We all started to walk back to the house. By the time in took in the Ballet studio, collecting the guys and girl and waiting for the Car repair guy i say its about 1 pm. Jerome and Bernadette started messing and pushing eachother as the twins ran ahead laughing and gossiping, Adam on there tracks. Mitch and I hung behind. About a hour had passed before my Heel on my shoes broke. "GAH!' i slipped over the broken heel and fell face first onto the floor. Everyone ran over laughing at me. Mitch and Bernadette helped me to my feet. "I cant walk like this" i laughed with everyone else and took off my heels throwing them in the nearest bin. i went to turn arouind and felt a pair of strong arms sling me over there shoulder. "Now you dont have to walk in your tights!" Mitch laughed and carried me over to the others. thats the way we ended up walking home. Oh well those shoes were cheap anyway no wonder they broke.
