Adventures Close to Home by the Raincoats
Don't take it personal
I choose my own fate
I follow love
I follow hate.
Passion that shouts
and red with anger
I lost myself
Through alleys of mysteries
I went up and down
like a demented train
Searching for something
that makes makes hearts move
I found myself.
But my best possession
walked in to the shade
and threaten to drift away.
(Searching for something
that makes makes hearts move
left you behind as if I could
possess by Quixote's dream
went to fight dragons in the land of concrete.)
Rolling in pain
discovered what hurts
and tasted hell
infatuated by madness
I danced in flames
and drunk in the depth of love
"Uh huh…yeah….no way! Did he really?" Lizzie nearly squealed threw the phone. "He's so hot! Are you sure he meant me?"
Casey sat on the couch beside her and rolled her eyes. She was engrossed in her book and didn't pay any mind to her younger sister yapping away on the phone about some guy who probably didn't even want a relationship, or rather, not an emotional one. They were all the same! Guys didn't think with their minds, they thought with another region of the male anatomy. Casey knew this well.
This is where our story begins…
Lizzie McDonald: The youngest McDonald sister in the house and also valued virgin treasure of her father George, and he intended to keep it that way. Liz was everything a sophomore girl hoped to be. She was cute, funny, rich, and popular. Girls lined up to be her friend and guys lined up to date her, or to sleep with her. She had it all and some, but there was one thing she didn't have: the permission of her father to date in high school. George had made it crystal clear that she could not date until her college years. Bummer for Liz, as she was now the eye candy of one of the hottest guys in the entire school.
Casey McDonald: Eldest McDonald sister in the house but also the "protector" of her youngest sister. Casey took on the role of mother to Liz after her mom left and has not gone back on her job of making sure no one touches Liz. Before she became the controlling and some would say "bitchy" McDonald girl she was Lizzie, only more so. There was not one guy who didn't want to date her; not even date her, they just wanted to say they were in her presence. Casey was the poster child of popularity and she embraced every minute of it…until she dated Andrew Reese. After that, she completely changed. She became a rebel, an outcast, a clique of her, herself, and Casey. She swore off all the high school parties no one dared miss, dances everyone went to, and boys girls would kill to date. She was a loner, and she was not looking for some guy like her sister was. She was independent, smart, and marched to the beat she wanted. Guys were just a thorn in her side.
Two sisters, completely opposite and one story as confusing as it can get. But let's start where we left off…with Lizzie McDonald.
