Chapter 9. Sweet 16
"Melina!" Lizzie exclaimed, after finding the girl in her front door. "What are you doing here? Come in" Melina did and sat on Lizzie's bed, looking down. "By the way, happy Sweet Sixteen"
"I needed to talk to somebody," she finally said. Lizzie sat by her side.
"And why didn't you talk to Andie? You drove all the way to Julliard!" Lizzie exclaimed.
"I was staying with my parents in Los Angeles. Besides, it's not the same talking to Andie than to you..." Melina said. "You're like my sister" Lizzie's eyes filled with tears.
"You said it so... proudly... Why- What's wrong?" she asked, after hugging her.
"I... I need some advice. I think I like Matt..." Melina whispered. Lizzie smiled. "But... how would I know we won't fight and break up?" Lizzie sighed.
"I guess that's a risk. Not everybody end up like Gordo and I... we just... didn't belong together"
"How do you know that?" Melina inquired. "I don't wanna spend my whole life thinking 'What if I had tried something with him?'"
"Mel, don't ever thought of a 'What If'. All they do is hurt you," Lizzie said. "Everybody has different paths in his or her life... You just choose one and live it. I did"
"Well, do you regret it?" Melina asked. Lizzie sighed again.
"Sometimes... but, if I hadn't broken up with Gordo or chosen Julliard, we wouldn't be here. I wouldn't be with Isabella now. Your life is about the choices you make and, sometimes, you have to take a risk. Who knows if Gordo and I will get back together? All of this, I leave it to fate" Melina looked at her.
"You believe in fate?" she asked.
"I believe we build our own... and that you'll find out soon what to do. Don't let anyone disappoint you" Melina smiled and they hugged.
"Wish Kate a happy birthday from me... I have to go" Lizzie nodded and they hugged again.
"Bye, big sis" Lizzie smiled.
"Bye, little sis" Melina smiled back and left.
End of chapter.
"Today I'm gonna ride away
And feel the sun throughout my hair
Finally free to be who I wanna be
Who that is I don't really care
'Cuz I've got friends who love me
Blue skies are above me
My blonde hair is everywhere
Sweet sixteen
Gonna spread my wings
Sweet sixteen
It's my chance to shine
Sweet sixteen
Discovering
Sweet sixteen
So much more to life
Sweet sixteen
Drivin' down to the club where we go to dance
Radio is blastin' and the top is down
There ain't nothin' in my way
'Cept the traffic of L.A.
And I've got friends who love me
Bright stars shine above me
My blonde hair is everywhere
Sweet sixteen
Gonna spread my wings
Sweet sixteen
It's my chance to shine
Sweet sixteen
Discovering
Sweet sixteen
So much more to life
Sweet sixteen
Mamma loves me and a sister who shows me, and a daddy's always there
Sweet sixteen
Gonna spread my wings
Sweet sixteen
It's my chance to shine
Sweet sixteen
Discovering
Sweet sixteen
So much more to life
Sweet sixteen
I wanna know what it feels like
I need to see it from the inside
I can taste a bit of what I will find
So much more to life
Sweet sixteen
I wanna know what it feels like
I need to see it from the inside
I can taste a bit of what I will find
So much more to life
Sweet sixteen"
