"What’s wrong? Where is this coming from?"

        "I just- it’s nothing. Just forget about it." Tyler said while trying to put all her attention on the book she’s holding.

        "Oh, common now. You know how I get when I don’t get to hear the whole story. Common! You can tell me anything, you know that." Alice said while copying Bette’s pout.

        "You’ll never be able to perfectly copy my mom’s pout, you know that right?"

        "Yeah, I know. So just tell me."

        "Okay but you have to promise me that you’ll never ever speak of this to my mothers. Promise?"

        "Alright! I promise. So what?"

        "It’s because sometimes, I feel so fragile, so delicate. And I would sometimes wonder what it would be like to be able to get out and have fun. I mean, it’s not like I’m not having fun while I’m with my family or with you for that matter but I want to experience what other kids experienced. Since I was young I had been home schooled and I never get  to have friends around my age. And sometimes, I wonder what it feels like to have a crush. Most of all, I feel suffocated with my mothers’ overprotective nature."

        "Oh my Fff-God!" Alice stopped herself after remembering that she can’t curse in front of this teenager. "You’re growing up, baby girl! You know what? You should talk to your parents about that. You see, they’ll understand. Let them understand. No one can stop you. Just be sure of what you want and please take care of yourself."

        "I don’t think they’ll understand me. They’ve always been so close minded when it comes to me wanting to go to school."

        "Bette and Tina, they’re very wonderful people and I know you know that. They will only want what’s best for you but you should also know what’s best for you, too. Just let them feel that you’re serious about it. They’ll understand." Alice smiled as she stood up. "Now, I’m gonna go prepare our food and we’ll be out of here in 30 minutes. I have to drop you at your house at exactly 6 or I’ll get killed by Bette." Alice left the room while Tyler stayed laughing at the thought of Alice’s last words.
