"Why does my life have to be crappy." Lana muttered as she was walking to somewhere that wasn't near her home, and totally forgetting her cardigan and is now freezing her arms off. When she made it into the nearest Tim Hortons and ordered herself a hot steaming cup of coffee and a box of twenty Timbits, and sat at the window, watching the traffic go by, she instantly got warmed up and smiled for once in her life. Despite problems in her family life, social life and life in general, she was happy with her life, like, she only has one, she wants to spend it wisely.

You see, I'm a psycho, a sicko, I'm crazy
I see I got my knife pulled, I kill you, you made me
They wanna see me shot up, locked up and caged me
I'll come back bigger, stronger and angry

"Who the hell is calling me?" Lana asked as she saw the caller ID to see Mother "Oh crap." Lana muttered as she took a gulp from her coffee and pressed 'Accept'.

"WHERE ARE YOU?" Joanna exclaimed in the phone.

"Uh—trying to forgot about my crappy life, that's what I'm doing." Lana replied smoothly.

"Not what are you doing, where are you?" Joanna asked again.

"Oh—you could've just said that." Lana said. "I'm enjoying my life." Then hung up on her mom and took another sip of her coffee and a timbit and had another smile on her face that for once in her life she doesn't have her mom breathing down her throat telling her whatever her mom wanted her to do.

Her soon to be step father on the other hand, well…that's a whole 'nother situation all together. As soon as Lana was done with her coffee and food, she walked out of the small restaurant and continued walking to somewhere that would get her more warmth in her body. And the only place that she wouldn't get frostbite at this point was her home.

Ready to make it or be murdered trying.

She noticed that the car wasn't in the driveway so she was in the clear on that. But as soon as she was just about to enter the home, she saw a red car enter the driveway.

Fuck.

Lana quickly entered the house, kicked off her shoes, and just pretended that she didn't notice them as she was on the couch, trying to get warm and watching whatever the hell was on TV.

"Alana, you do not know how much trouble you are in!" Joanna exclaimed as her and Wade entered the home.

"Three months more grounded and you taking away my cell phone and computer. I get it by now Mom, I ain't dumb and stupid for you to repeat it." Lana said.

"Worse." Joanna said.

"What's worse than that?" Lana asked.

"You know the semi formal that's coming up?" Joanna asked.

"The one that I'm going with John, yeah, what about it?" Lana asked.

"Consider yourself not going." Joanna said.

"WHAT!" Lana exclaimed as she got off the couch. "I did everything that I could to get myself a freaking date, now you out of all freaking people are taking that away from me!" She added.

"That's what you get for being a snippy little bitch towards your mother." Joanna simply said.

"Look who's talking." Lana said before sliding her way to her room.

"Watch how you talk to your mother." Wade said.

"FUCK OFF!" Lana screamed as she entered her room and slammed the door behind her.
