Lily was on her way home. She has been gone a year. She still remembered the call that she made soon after she left.
"Mom, Dad, I'm ok." She had to leave, her parents didn't understand her. "No I have lots of money, I'm even paying for the call." They were too different and they couldn't get along with her. "No you don't understand I'm a squigee kid, that's how I make money, change. You're not mad at me are you? I thought you be mad. Don't cry mom." Now she was on her way home again after a year of living on the streets. She hitchhiked most of the way. It was her last ride. In a big truck. He dropped her off a block away from her house.
Boston:
Lily was home, she went to the backyard, soaked her feet in the pool, then went into the house via the porch, she quietly looked around then went upstairs to her room and fell asleep on her own bed.

Chapter 2
Lily's parents Kane and Terri woke up the next morning.
"Good morning." Said Terri.
"Morning." Said Kane looking at his wife. They both went downstairs. Kane went to the door to get the paper and Terri went to the kitchen to make eggs and bacon for breakfast. After Kane went to get the paper he went into the downstairs bathroom to shave.
Meanwhile their other daughter Jayme was upstairs getting dressed. She was dressed in a jean skirt and mickey mouse shirt.
Downstairs Kane couldn't find his brush so he went into the hall and buzzed Jayme with the intercom.
"Jayme you have my hairbrush?" She responded back by holding the button.
"No I don't have your hairbrush Kane."
"It's dad to you." Kane was annoyed he went upstairs to Jayme's bathroom. He found his brush. "Oh no you don't have it." He took it downstairs.
Jayme found she had holes in her socks.
"Just great." She got up and went to Lily's room to get another pair. Something she has been doing since Lily been gone. Once there she took a quick look in the mirror at her reflection and saw Lily on the bed sleeping. "I don't believe this." She went to the top of the stairs. "Ka-Dad you better get up here." Kane went to the bottom of the stairs.
"I'm getting ready." He said.
"Please." She said.
"Jayme I can't keep going up and down the stairs." He went upstairs and followed Jayme into Lily's room where he saw Lily on the bed.
"Lily?" He couldn't believe it. Lily woke up.
"Dad?" They hugged eachother. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." Terri came upstairs.
"What's going?" She stopped in mid sentence and saw Kane hugging Lily. She went over and hugged her as well. Kane stepped away from Lily so Terri could get her hugs in.
"Mom I'm so sorry."
"It's ok." Said Terri in near tears that her daughter is back.
"Jayme go and check on breakfast." Said Kane. Jayme kept staring at Lily.
"Jayme go." Said Terri. Jayme went downstairs.
"She got so much taller." Said Lily.
"You been gone a long time." Said Terri.
"I know." Said Lily with a sigh.
Chapter 3
The three of them went to the kitchen where they found breakfast burnt cause Jayme was staring off into space.
"Jayme!" Yelled Terri. Jayme snapped out of it and Terri decided to make french toast. "How's french toast sound?" Asked Terri.
"Fine." Said Lily. Kane and Jayme sat down and Terri passed a bottle to Lily.
"Here."
"What's this?"
"Vitamins."
"Oh." Said Lily taking one and giving the bottle back to her mother. Terri began to make the french toast and Lily remembered what it was like on the streets as a squigee kid. She and her boyfriend Randy Orton ate what they can find, sometimes Randy actually got a job. Terri brought Jayme and Lily french toast.
"Where's yours?" Asked Lily.
"I'm getting ours now." Said Terri. The phone rang and Kane picked it up in the kitchen.
"Hello? No I can't come in today. Well Lily is home. No don't tell him that tell him I have car trouble." Kane hung up and sat down.
"You can go to work." Said Lily.
"Never mind." Said Kane.
"They were so worried how to act when you got home they went to a psychiatrist to learn how to act when you got home. But business comes before pleasure doesn't it Kane?" Asked Jayme.
"Dad." Said Kane. Terri sat down with her and Kane's dishes.
"Why only a small piece?" Asked Lily.
"We're on diets." Said Terri.
"Oh." Lily remembered what a real diet was. Going on days without any food cause they couldn't find any.
"You lost 100 pounds." Said Jayme.
"Don't think that much." Said Lily. "You sure filled out." The phone rang and Kane got up to answer it again.
"Yeah I guess so but you got the right idea don't wear a bra I feel stuffed." Said Jayme.
"Her idea of being attractive is to bounce up and down." Said Terri.
"That's not my idea of being attractive."
"Honey, ladies please." Said Kane. "Alright I'll be in half an hour." He hung up.
"You have to go?" Asked Terri.
"Yeah. If you're going Jayme hurry up."
"I'm hungry." Said Jayme.
"I need to go now." Said Kane.
"Can I get my books first?" Asked Jayme. Lily buttered some bread and handed it over to Jayme.
"Jayme."
"Thanks." Said Jayme as she got her books and followed Kane out the door. Terri began to clean up, putting dishes in the kitchen. Lily helped her.
"I'm not sick or pregnant or anything." Said Lily.
"That's good."
"I know I'm a bad daughter but can I stay?"
"Yeah I don't think we can go through it again." Said Terri. Lily hugged Terri she felt safe she was home.

Chapter 4
Randy Orton was down town in Los Angeles looking for Lily. He asked one of his friends who happened to be high.
"You seen Lily?"
"She left you man?"
"She left?"
"Something about going back home." Randy knew what he had to do.
Lily got undressed and started walking out of her room to go to the bathroom.
"You know what I want you to do?" Asked Terri.
"What?" Yelled Lily from upstairs while Terri was downstairs.
"Take a shower those clothes are filthy throw them out."
"Oh ok." She laughed.
"I want you to go to the doctor to but that can wait awhile."
"Ok." She turned on the water and hopped into the shower. She remembered her and Randy hanging around, smoking pot, sometimes using angel dust. She remembered him saying:
"Make sure you do it right." She replied.
"This is the first time I had sex Randy." He replied back.
"This isn't the first time but I'll over look it." She finished the shower and got out. She wrapped a towel around herself and looked in the mirror. She grabbed some scissors out of the drawer and began to cut her hair.
"Welcome home." She said.
Randy was walking along and saw and exterminator truck in front of a building being exterminator, he got in, rigged the wires and started to drive. The driver Booker T came out.
"Damn, who would steal my truck, how is a guy supposed to live if people keep stealing my truck?" He went inside to call the cops. Who were soon chasing Randy Orton but he ditched them.
Chapter 5
Lily was dressed in a green shirt and a green short skirt.
"Mom?" She went to the kitchen and found a note on the fridge saying 'gone shopping be back soon.' She went to her parents room and saw the two beds they slept apart in. She remembered when she was a kid.
"How come you don't sleep together anymore?"
"We do." Said Terri.
"But you had one bed before and the one you had before was pretty." She went to the hiding spot she and Jayme used to be in. It was an alcove by the steps. She went in and saw her old toys. She took some of them into a box and brought them to her room.
Once there she put some stuff animals on the bed, took out the doll house and put a Barbie and a Ken there. She remembered her and Randy again.
"I love you." Stated Lily.
"I love you." Said Randy. Then she thought about other things. As she was thinking she didn't hear Jayme home.
"Lily?" No answer so she spoke louder. "Lily?" Lily turned around.
"School out?"
"Yeah." Jayme went over to her and looked at her.
"Are you high?"
"No."
"You're somewhere else you didn't hear me come in." Lily sat in her closet. The door half open. Jayme sat on the other side. Lily turned on this talking doll.
"This is my favourite doll." Said Lily.
"That's the one you used to hit me with." Said Jayme.
"No."
"I missed you."
"Me to."
"Good grief what did you do to your hair?"
"I cut it."
"I like how you had it before."
"Jayme are you home?" Yelled their mother. Jayme knew they were in her room searching. She and Lily went in that direction to see what they could do.

Chapter 6
"What are you doing?" Asked Jayme.
"What does it look like?" Asked Kane.
"This isn't the first time you searched my room, you think I'm going to be happy about it?" Asked Jayme.
"What's going on?" Asked Lily.
"Judy Howard and her boyfriend were caught taking coke on school property." Said Kane.
"What?" Asked a pissed of Lily.
"Yes they had some." Said Jayme.
"And you're going to tell me you're not taking any?" Asked Kane.
"I'm not, you think if I had any I would be stupid enough to keep it here?" Asked Jayme.
"Dad you're doing this wrong this is the kinda stuff that drove me away." Said Lily. Jayme went into her room while Lily stayed in the hall.
"Leave me the fuck alone!" Yelled Jayme. She went back into the hall.
"Don't swear at me." Said Terri.
"You're searching me like I'm a criminal." Said Jayme.
"Dad she's right." Said Lily. Kane looked at Lily.
"Go to your room this doesn't concern you."
"You're going to drive her away." Said Lily.
"I wish I did have coke I take enough right now to blow my head off."
"Alright that's it!" Terri went after Jayme and Jayme locked herself into the upstairs bedroom. Lily lost it and went to her room. Kane followed her. Lily began to hum to herself. Kane grabbed her hands from her ears.
"Do you know where she keeps it? Lily, if you're protecting your sister you're back out on the street again." Lily looked at Kane.
"Please don't I don't know where she does, please don't get rid of me." Lily hugged Kane.
Meanwhile somewhere between California and Boston Randy Orton was eating in a restaurant, the cops showed up.
"I can't have an exterminator truck in front of a restaurant." Said the owner Eric Bischoff.
"Do you know who drove it?" Asked a cop.
"No, no, no, good, I can't eat in a place with an exterminator truck outside." Said Randy Orton. Eric and the cops went to his table.
"Something the matter sir."
"I'm not paying for this kind of service." Said Randy Orton.
"Of course not." Said Eric with a sigh. Randy left, nobody found out he drove the stolen truck.
