Lindsey was going to do this and no one was going to stop her. She stuck out her elbows as she stormed her way through the sea of students trying to make it to their buses on time. She was pretty sure Faith didn't have to catch a bus so she'd be waiting for her father in the same place as usual.

Finally she squeezed out of the door, her whole body nearly went crashing down the steps but she kept her balance and walked onwards. The air was warm today; it seemed to put everyone in a good mood. Lindsey hugged the books in her arms tightly for support. Her blue eyes caught a glimpse of Faith waiting by a large tree. Lindsey's heart skipped a beat, no wonder her mom was always smiling when she was with Sara!

"Faith! Hey!" Lindsey started, her voice was high pitched and nervous.

"Hey Lindsey, you getting a ride home too?" Faith asked, equally nervous.

"Uh, I actually came over here to tell you something…" Lindsey started. Oh god, this is it… She thought.

"Yeah, what?" Faith asked sweetly. Although, she was a little concerned.

"Faith, this isn't exactly easy for me to say… I mean, I don't even know how to put it. It's complicated, annoying. But I need to tell you…"

"Lindsey, stop rambling!" Faith giggled.

Lindsey smiled, cute she thought. "Ah, sorry. Look I… I like you, okay?" Lindsey admitted, just as her bitch of a friend Louise was approaching.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Am I interrupting something?" Louise asked bitterly.

Lindsey took a step back. How could she explain this? Louise was the bitch of the school. She could make a rumor travel at the speed of light if she wanted to. "I gotta go" Lindsey mumbled then ran off into the opposite direction.

Faiths expression was a mixture of shock and happiness. She'd never really had a real girlfriend before. Let alone have someone like her. The situation was confusing. Her eyes dragged back to Louise. She had the most perversely evil look on her face while her finger twirled her hair effortlessly. Louise chuckled then strutted off to her cluster of friends. Who started laughing the moment Louise opened her mouth.

"Bitch…" Faith muttered. Her father soon pulled up in his car, the window rolled down and he started shouting to let her know he was there. Faith got in the car without a single word. Which was normal for her anyway.

Lindsey sat on the sofa in the living room. She had the TV playing in the background while she flicked through an old photo album. Sara and her Mom had gone out shopping way before she'd gotten home. Maybe they'd bring something nice back for her.

Her fingers traced the thin, gold frames around each picture stuck firmly onto the paper. Her emotions were a mixture of happiness and sadness. Her eyes scanned pictures of herself and her Father. Even now she still missed him. She sometimes wished that he were there when her life was falling apart. If he didn't get himself into the mess he did, he'd be here. Lindsey never understood that until now.

"I miss you, dad" Lindsey whispered, her voice was crackling under the strain of not to cry.

The door flew open, Catherine briskly walked through the door while Sara staggered through after her. "Lindsey, remind me to never go shopping with your Mom again!" Sara huffed, carrying shopping bags into the kitchen and placing them on the counter. Lindsey smiled, closing the photo album shut and walking back out to greet her Mom and Sara.

Catherine pressed her hand against the cold counter and stared at her daughter with one eyebrow raised. Honestly, how bad could someone be at masking their own feelings? Lindsey was like an open book. "Linds, something up?" She asked bluntly.

Sara just sat on a stool and watched the situation while she began to peal an orange and place a small piece in her mouth. This situation could go either way, Lindsey could act like any teenager would and go into defense mode and make the situation worse OR she could let her mom slowly get it out of her.

" Nothing… Why?" Lindsey lied, badly.

Sara snorted as she got up and wiped her nose with the back of her hand. She stood behind Catherine with an orange in her one hand and her other on Catherine's back.

"What's so funny?" Lindsey asked stubbornly, her arms folded over her chest and her foot began to tap on the floor.

"Here goes little miss attitude…" Sara stifled a giggle.

"Sara, shut up!" Catherine whispered before elbowing her in the ribs.

"I'm not going to force you to talk, but is it about Faith?" Catherine asked.

Lindsey looked down to the floor. DAMN! She thought. Why on earth did she do that? It's pretty obvious now. "If it makes you feel any better… Yeah, it is about Faith. But I really don't want to talk… Okay?" Lindsey finished firmly before going back into the living room.

Catherine sighed and leaned backwards into Sara. "Why do things have to be so hard for her, Sara?"

Sara gently placed soft kisses on Catherine's neck. "I don't know…" Sara whispered.
