10 IX (1/2)
Lizzie slowly made her way through the crowd on the side of the road. Everyone seemed to be looking at something on the side of the road, so she decided to join and see what it was.
Within the center stood four people, dancing along to the intoxicating music from the speakers. Elizabeth looked and watched the performers until one of the girls caught her eye. She had long silver hair pulled up in a high pony tail, and her eyes were glowing baby blue. At the sight of the girl, Lizzie's heart started pounding in her chest. She wanted to run and shield the girl from the rest of the world.
The final note rang as a chord of the three main singers, with one male doing an ending pose as the finished. He sound of the crowd was intoxicating and extremely loud, but for the first time in Elizabeth's life, the noise didn't bother her. As long as she was looking at the girl in front of her, everything in the world seemed to be okay again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sound of the usual yelling from her house caused her to let out a long sigh and continue her trek into the house. As she made it inside, she walked over to the couch and closed her eyes, then opened them when she heard the sound of a photo from a phone across the room. She finally noticed her brother across the room, typing on his phone furiously.
”Whatcha doing, Week?” Lizzie called over to her brother, who looked up and shook his head, before looking back down to his phone. Elizabeth let out a sigh and stared at the strange boy.
”You called me and told me to come here, what was it you needed?”
”Elizabeth!” A loud voice rang out through the house, causing her to jump and walk slowly towards her father's office with Week silently trailing behind her.
She walked into the office and noticed her dad behind his desk looking extremely angry while her mom wouldn't meet her gaze.
”Dad? What's going on? Is everything okay?”
”Did I raise you to be a liar?” he said suddenly, causing the girl to tense up.
”What do you mean?” She asked, resulting in a slam of his hands on his desk and walked slowly around it towards his daughter.
”Did I stutter? Why would you keep the fact you knew where Rose was a secret?”
”I don't know what you're talking about.”
A loud slap sounded through the room before Lizzie registered the stinging pain in her cheek.
”You do know, and you took something that didn't belong to you, didn't you, Elizabeth?”
”Father, it's okay, please just-” Week started.
”Do not interrupt me, son. I want you to have this girl here by tomorrow or so help me,” their father said. Week nodded in fear of his father as quickly walked back out of the room. The sound of crying and furniture breaking was left in his wake.
To My Rose❤️
You: I'm so sorry, Rose, I didn't mean for it to go this far
