"Overprotected" by Britney Spears

Spoken:
I need time (time)
Love (love)
Joy (joy)
I need space
I need me
(Action!)

Say hello to the girl that I am!
You're gonna have to see through my perspective
I need to make mistakes just to learn who I am
And I don't wanna be so damn protected
There must be another way
Cause I believe in taking chances
But who am I to say
What a girl is to do
God, I need some answers

What am I to do with my life
(You will find it out don't worry)
How Am I supposed to know what's right?
(You just got to do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected

I tell 'em what I like
What I want
What I don't
But every time I do I stand corrected
Things that I've been told
I can't believe what I hear about the world, I realize
I'm Overprotected

There must be another way
Cause I believe in taking chances
But who am I to say
What a girl is to do
God I need some answers

What am I to do with my life
(You will find it out don't worry)
How Am I supposed to know what's right?
(You just got to do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected

I need… time (love)
I need… space
(This is it, this is it)

I don't need nobody's
Tellin me just what I wanna
What I what what what I'm gonna
Do about my destiny
I Say No, No
Nobody's telling me just what what what I wanna do, do
I'm so fed up with people telling me to be
Someone else but me

(Action!)

What am I to do with my life
(You will find it out don't worry)
How Am I supposed to know what's right?
(You just got to do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected

I don't need nobody's
Tellin me just what I wanna
What I what what what I'm gonna
Do about my destiny
I Say No, No
Nobody's telling me just what I wanna do, do
I'm so fed up with people telling me to be
Someone else but me

What am I to do with my life
(You will find it out don't worry)
How Am I supposed to know what's right?
(You just got to do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected

Some people call Bridget spoiled, selfish, narcissistic or even shallow, but if there was one thing Bridget was it was a good sister. See Bridget got to be as popular as she is because of one very interesting skill of hers. She was incredibly observant, and coupling this skill with concern for her sister led to some interesting discoveries about Kerry. She'd been acting odd. Granted that was a given after that jerk Bruno used her and discarded her like on old towel, but she was crying a lot, well way more than usual.

Just before Christmas, about 4 months since they'd kicked Bruno out of the house, this behaviour hadn't changed, and had in fact gotten worse. Bridget had no choice now but to talk to her mom about it. One night after school Bridget found her mom making dinner and Kerry watching tv, sprawled out on the couch in a hoodie. She went over to her mom, leaned against the counter and began to talk.

"Mom, d'you think Kerry's putting on weight? See look,"

Kerry stretched out, lifting her hoodie to reveal a stomach that was far more rounded than normal,

"You see that, she's definitely bigger. And when she gave me my top back earlier, you know the really cute blue one that Jenna Sharp totally copied after she saw me and was like oh my god Bridget I love your shirt and I was all like yeah right Jenna this so wouldn't go with those skanky boots you like so much, anyway it was all stretched out."

"Beach, what are you getting at?"

"All I'm saying is…….."

Bridget stopped talking as Kerry walked into the kitchen and went to the fridge.

"God! How can we be out of cheese again!"

"Gees, I'll buy some more ok. I didn't know you liked it so much" said Cate

"Honestly is it too much to ask to have some lousy cheese in the house for a sandwich. I'm going to the store."

Kerry grabbed the car keys from the hook and stormed out of the back door.

"Isn't that like her third cheese sandwich today?" Continued Bridget

"Maybe I dunno, why?"

"Mom think about it, stretched out clothing, a new obsession with cheese which she didn't even like that much two weeks ago and she's been spending hours in the bathroom, especially in the mornings, and given what we know she was doing in Paris… You're a nurse, do the math."

"Oh my god. You don't think she's…."

"I think so, I just don't know if she knows yet ya know?"

"How do we ask her?"

"I don't know. That's why I'm talking to you."

"No Beach, you have to talk to her. She'll listen to you. You gotta convince her to go to a doctor."

"I'll try"

"Oh and Beach, whatever you do, do not call her fat, that's the number one way to piss off a pregnant woman. Well that's if she is"

"Got it. Wow this is gonna be one awkward conversation."

With that Bridget went back upstairs to think about what she was gonna say to her potentially pregnant 16 year old sister.
