Chapter 6- Surprise and Tears---
Four hours later, Lizzie comes home from Rome. She'd left Rome about 8:00pm, and then she hopped on an airplane and went to an airport, where her mom and dad left her a car on her sixteenth birthday. Then she was driving the rest of the way home. She didn't even call anyone to tell them she was coming home, because she wanted it to be a surprise.
When she in her hometown, she drove slowly, because she'd saw someone lying in a yard. She wondered, so she pulled her car over on the side of the road, got out, and then ran over to the person to see if they're all right.
She could not believe it was... "Matt!" She screamed and tears formed in her eyes. "Why isn't Matt in school?" she asked herself, then it hit her, "Matt was probably at a party." She stopped and thought for a minute, "He should know better. Wait, maybe he didn't want to go to the party, but his friends and some others said he had to."
She thought for a minute again, "Why do peers have to out too much pressure on you?" Do they have any thing else to do besides ruin other people's life?"
Just then, Matt opened his eyes a little. He heard a voice, but he didn't think it was Lizzie. He thought it was Haywood coming back to hurt him some more. "No. Please, don't hurt me any more!"
"Matt, it's just me, Lizzie."
Matt was sweating terribly and his heart was pounding. "No! Just get away from me!" Without looking, he scooted across the ground, groaning and crying. He couldn't get the images from what happened to him at the party out of his head.
"Matt,"
Matt had a shaky voice, "Just get away from me, Haywood!"
Lizzie thought, [Haywood? Haywood did this to him. How rude? How mean?]
"Matt," Lizzie came to him and held out her arms. "It's your sister, Lizzie. You don't have to be afraid."
Tears were rolling down his cheeks as he ran to her and hugged her. He was glad to see his big sis there. "Lizzie, please take me home. I'm frightened!"
Lizzie started to get more tears in her eyes. "Come on, let's go home." She had helped Matt up, walked him to the car, opened up the door, and helped him in the passenger seat. Then she got in the drivers seat and drove home.
When she got in the driveway, she said to Matt, "You stay here and I'll get Mom and Dad."
"No, don't."
"Why?"
Matt was crying as he said, "Because I snuck out to go to the party. I did not tell them."
"Why did you do that? You should know better."
"Yeah, I know. But ever since I became a teenager, I'd been acting like a punk, and hanging out with Haywood and his gang."
"So, you ditched your other friends to hang out with some punks?"
"Yeah. But I wish I really hadn't."
Matt just sat there and thought for a minute.
"Matt," Lizzie said, softly. "I'm going inside the house to get Mom and Dad."
"No. Did you hear me? You can't because I was at a party, and plus they will probably hate me now."
"Matt, we both know, our parents won't hate us; no matter if we did something really terrible. They might ground us for about a year, but still will not hate us. They love us and always will." Explained Lizzie.
Matt had tears rolling down his cheeks. "You don't understand. They will hate me!"
Lizzie got out of the car, then went to Matt's side, and tried to open the door. But Matt had locked the door. Luckily, Lizzie had the car key and unlocked it.
She had to struggle to get Matt out of the car. He kept grabbing on to the seat and holding it tight with his two hands.
"Matt, please, just let go and everything will be fine!"
"No!" He was crying and screaming like an eight-year-old kid. "I'm just a kid, you know!"
Lizzie finally got him out of the car, and then was carrying him to the house. She felt like she all ready had a child that was wild.
She got up to the doorstep and tried to open the door, but it was locked. She had rung the doorbell.
She still had to keep struggling with Matt. He was trying to get away.
"Lizzie, get off me!"
Then the door opened up. It was Sam. "Lizzie! Matt!" he said, surprised.
Jo heard him and ran to the door, also. Her eyes widen. "Lizzie, you're back! And you grown a lot." She said with tears in her eyes. She'd missed her daughter for so long.
"Lizzie, get off me!" Matt yelled.
Jo finally noticed the black eyes and cuts on him. "Matt, what happened?"
Matt just kept on struggling to get out of Lizzie's arms.
"Lizzie, shut and lock that door. It's freezing." Sam stated.
She shut the door and let Matt go. He tried to run up to his room, but Sam and Jo stopped him. They brought him over to the couch and sat him down.
"Now, Matt, what happened?"
"It's not your concern!"
"Yes, it is!"
He got up, but they sat him back down.
Lizzie walked over and told them. "Matt was at a party."
Matt shook his head. "Tattle tail."
"At a party!" Sam and Jo looked angry. "Matt, we thought you were at Oscar's!"
"Oscar, Reggie, and Lanny aren't my friends anymore! We had a huge fight!"
Sam and Jo thought for a minute. They didn't know what else to say, except, "Go to your room!"
"I will! I'm better off there than with friends!" Matt ran to his room.
Sam and Jo were glad in one way, but mad in another.
In Matt's room, he thought out loud, "How did this happen to me? I feel like I'm living the worst day ever."

Authors note-if you're just wondering, this story is almost like my video script (Peer Pressure) I'm writing to make this summer with my friends (just a fun idea. And plus not to get bored). I changed some detail in the story though. I used my own characters in the video script, also. ***I am so bored right NOW!
