When Liz entered the house she was met by a very angry Kid at the door.

"What is with skipping today?" he said a deep frown on his pale face.

"Oh um, y'know I just took a walk and lost track of time" she said to him uncertainly. His gold eyes narrowed and looked skeptical and doubtful at her make shift explanation. A moment of awkward silence passed.

"Well I'm going to go to my room now." Liz said shifting to the side nervously. Kid gave a sigh and moved out of the hall to let her pass. Liz felt relieved and hurried up the stairs to her room, silently she closed the door behind her. Letting out a breath the stress that pressed her was released and tumbled clumsily onto her bed. She felt something under her and shifted to the side to examine it. It was a book with a piece of paper of the cover.

Liz,

Assignment for today :D

-Patty

At the end of the short was a childish drawing of a giraffe . A smile touched her lips, It was just a few words but it made her feel that she wasn't alone and she is cared for, but only for a moment. Only for the one moment that the knock had not sounded at the door.

knock knock

Kid! Patty! door!

Knock knock

c'mon,she sighed as she pushed her self up from the bed, "BE RIGHT THERE!"

Liz jumped off her bed and trudged down the stairs. Another knock was coming from the door, she opened it, the hinges creaking. Her head swung to who was there. She froze for a moment at who was at the door. There stood the tall Kid with a lazy grin on his face he was hidden behind an armful of groceries.

"I, have decided to cook for you." he said proudly entering the house. "Doing something nice for you should help make you feel better." he said putting his hands at his sides contempt with is work.

Liz simply stood there with the door open surprised at the people outside. All of their friends stood at the door step smiling.

"We wanted to come over to cheer you up." Maka said happily. They all filed in Tsubaki, BlackStar, Soul, when Patty walked in her expression was serious and clouded like she was in intense thought.

"Patty are you okay?" Liz asked her concerned. Patty just looked at her with sad eyes, she began to open her mouth but another voice sounded behind them. A voice smooth like silk. That dreaded voice.

"Liz? Sweetheart aren't you going to let me in? I met with your friends they are such..nice people." the women cooed.

Liz's whole body tensed up she clenched her teeth in anger and frustration.

"Patty go back to the others." Liz said quietly to her sister.

"But-

"Patty!please," Liz begged.

"O-OK." Patty nodded sadly and rushed to everyone else who was setting up for the party.

When Patty was gone she turned to the women, her mother, with burning anger in her eyes. "What tricks did you pull just to come here." she hissed surprising herself with the venom in her own voice.

"Now, now, dear I could come here whenever I want to, its not a house you can miss, I have been invited as a valuable party guest." her mother replied smoothly side stepping into the room. A devilish look in her eyes. "Don't make much of a scene now." she whispered into Liz's ear, this only infuriated Liz even more than before.

Liz sat on the couch of the room with her arms crossed in a sour mood. Kid had begun to explain just how her mother and him met. It was described that his great difficulty of going shopping for the appropriate food for this 'cheer Liz up' party when this women came up next to him assisting a great deal. The room laughed at a few of her mother's descriptions of just how confused Kid looked but Liz attempted to tone them all out and she just stared and the can of soda in her hands.

"Well I decided to invite her over." Kid finished with a chuckle.

so annoying

"I'm just glad I could help."

her voice, everything, it's so annoying.

"I know, it's good that we could do this right Liz?" Kid said happily

ANNOYING!

"Liz?" Kid said his laugh fading.

"enough" she whispered barley audible

"What?" Kid asked confused.

Liz's body was shaking, she sat there watching that person convey with her friends as if she had every right. the person who abandoned her and condemned them to a street life of crime. She left and never looked back, she couldn't take it anymore. This was the last straw.

"ENOUGH!" Liz yelled her drink hit the floor fizzing. Her piercing glare at the Mother that never wanted either of them who now sat in front of them so easy going.

"How dare you waltz in here as if everything is fine!" said said desperately her voice cracking as tears began to form at her eyes. She quickly advanced towards her mother demanding an answer. "Well? Did you come here to take everything away from me again!"

"No I never-

"You never what? I don't want to hear your excuses anymore." Liz said a hint of pain in her voice.

"Liz! What has gotten into you?" Kid said exasperated.

"It isn't any of your business. Don't go around bringer HER here anymore." Liz said

"you are being so rude." Kid said softly.

"Yeah? and you should know a whore when you see one before bringing them to your home." Liz retorted before storming angrily from the house.

"Elizabeth! Please wait." her mother called her, but Liz ignored her.

"Onee-chan!" Patty also yelled after her but the sound of the rain helped drown the voices of her friends and hide the tears in her eyes, as her feet pounded the pavement

...

Liz ran with no real direction in mind, it just felt good to get all of her feelings and frustrations out, she ran and ran, cutting through alleyways sprinting threw the slippery streets. Until she stopped at the entrance of a dark alley two figures stood in the shadows one thing came to mind as she watched them. A mugging,

Her clothes stuck to her body wet from the rain that slightly made her shiver. She walked farther down towards the the two men. One was a tall lean young man with a stupid smiling expression as he held an older man to the wall with a small knife.

Amateur, Liz thought as she approached. Silently the younger one watched her closely but as she moved in between them she did nothing, and kept walking.

"What? What is with that?" the young one said a hint of irritation in his voice. "Why not go Kya! and go run for the police?" he said his expression turning ugly.

"..." still Liz said nothing.

"you..BITCH, don't ignore me." he was angry for no particular reason and by his sloppy movements it was obvious he was drunk or under the influence of some drug.

Liz turned toward him with a hard look and carefully analyzed him coming towards her his little knife in front of him. With skill she evaded his lounge and stepped to the side. She brought her leg up and kicked his side sending him off balance and to the ground. he hit the stone and blinked in confusion. Before he could recover Liz planted her foot on his chest pinning him.

"I'm not amused." she said bitterly looking down at him. The young man's eyes suddenly clouded with fear and he let out a low whimper. Poking out of his jacket pocket was a pack of cigarette and a lighter. Liz automatically reached down and picked them up. She lit up a cig placing it in her mouth.

"Now scram the both of yeah'." she said, her voice muffled from the cigarette in her mouth. Taking her foot off of on of the young one they both scrambled like rats and fled.

Liz chuckled at how pathetic they were and how pathetic she was. She slowly slid down the alley wall, watching the smoke lift to the sky.

"How, pathetic." she murmured covering her face with her arm as she sat there.

This was a lot shorter than I wanted but I think adding might ruin it, The world may never know, hehehe commercial reference :)

The chapter was dramatic maybe too dramatic but hey what the heck?
