Chapter 3

***************

I know this pain

Why do you lock yourself up in these chains?

No one can change your life except for you

Don't ever let anyone step all over you

Just open your heart and your mind

Is it really fair to feel this way inside?

~*~6 months later~*~

Lizzie walked downstairs from her room so she could talk to her mom. She was so nervous. "Why should I be?"she thought."It's a legitimate question."

She walked into the living but her mom wasn't there. She looked in the kitchen and dining room, no mom. Lizzie started getting nervous. She started to run through there house looking for her mom. She franticllay searchedthe upstairs of her house.

"MATT!!!!"

"What?"asked Matt uneasily,"What's wrong?"

"Where's mom?"

"I don't know. Mabybe she's in the backyard. Did you look there?"

"N...N...No."

"Well she's probably there."

"Thanks Matt."

"No problem."

Lizzie went out to their sliding glass door by the backyard. Sure enough her mom was out there with Jeff a guy she had been dating since she and Sam separated.All of a sudden she saw Jeff pull out a little box and get down on one knee."Oh my gosh he's proposing!"Lizzie thought. She opened the door so she could hear what they were saying.

"Jo, would you make me the happiest man and marry me?"asked Jeff.

"Oh, Jeff...Y...Yes I'll marry you."she started crying and they hugged and kissed each other.Lizzie quickly closed the door. She didn't know her mom and Jeff were that close."Well, DUH Lizzie."she thought."They have been dating for like ten months."

Then Jo started turning around and Lizzie quickly walked into the living room. She turned on the tv and saw one of Matt's stupid cartoons. She really wasn't in the mood for that.She flipped on 7th Heaven. It was the episode were the Camdens thought Matt, from the show, was smoking pot. Jeff and Jo walked in and Jo said,

"Lizzie would you please get your brother?"

"Yeah, uh sure mom." she walked to the stairs, "Matt! Mom wants you."

"Oh Lizzie," said Jeff, "We want to talk to both of you."

Matt came down and said, "This better be good I was on level 7 in Zelda."

"Oh it is."said Jo,"Jeff and I are...oh you say it Jeff."

"Your mother and I are getting married."he said.

***************

Someday somebody's gonna make you want to

Turn around and say goodbye

Until then baby are you gonna let them

Hold upu down and make you cry

Don't you know?

Don't you know things can change

Things'll go your way

If you hold on for one more day

***************

Lizzie almost started crying. She didn't want anyone, any MAN to live HER house with HER mom and brother. She especially didn't want her mom to get married. And to Jeff? I mean he was nice and all but he wasn't like Sam. Sam had this way of making you laugh even when your favorite Uncle died. Lizzie thought, "Why did mom have to meet Jeff in the first place? Why couldn't she meet someone like Miranda's dad? He was so much fun."

"Lizzie?"asked Jo, "Lizzie are you okay?"

"Um, yeah mom. I'm fine. Why?"

"Because you look like your about to cry."

"Oh, no mom. I'm just really..."Lizzie started thinking abouth the right word. Mad? Angry? Upset? "Happy. Yeah for you two. I'm really happy for you guys."

"Are you sure?"

"Mo-om! Of course I am. Why wouldn't I be?"

"I don't know. That's why I'm asking."

"Don't worry mom. I'm really happy. Really."

Lizzie went up to her room to call her best friend Miranda Sanchez."275- 7843."she thought.

"Hello?" Mrs. Sanchez picked up.

"Hi Mrs. Sanchez. This is Lizzie, is Miranda there?"

"Yeah sure. Hold on one minute."

After about five seconds Miranda picked up."Hey Lizzie. What's up?

"My mom and Jeff are getting married."Lizzie blurted.

"Awsome!"

"Miranda!It is SO not awsome!"

"Why not? Yor gonna have a stepfather, and maybe after they get married they'll have a baby and if it's a girl you could finally have a little sister!"

"That would be cool, but with Jeff?"

"I thought you liked him?"

"That's the problem I already do."

"So what's the problem?"

"Won't that take some of my love away from my dad?"

"Only if you let it."

***************

You could sustain

Or are you comfortable with the pain?

You've got no one to blame for your unhappiness

You got yourself into your own mess

Lettin' your worries pass you by

Don't you think it's worth your time

To change your mind?
