Chapter I
'''Silence. A small breeze. It's summer. It's quite hot outside, yet not boiling. Sweet, actually. Lilith opens her eyes. She's laying in Pleasantview park. She gets up. Her friends are playing soft ball near the small lake. A hand appears, and tries to hold hers. She turns her head to the person that is trying to hold her hand. Dirk.

"You're back, she whispers.

-I never left sweetie."

His lips are getting closer. So close to Lilith's ones. So, so close.'''

The doors slams. Mary-Sue shouts some insults. Lilith opens her eyes. It was only just a dream. She had been dreaming for weeks that Dirk would eventually go back to her, tell her that he regretted so much breaking up with her. Tell her that he wanted her back. Unfortunately, he wouldn't. He had a new girlfriend now. He got sick of Lilith always complaining, always brooding, unhappy. Now he was gone. The teenage girl got out of her bed. Her room was already enlightened by the sunshine. She took a quick look at her clock. 10:30am. Way too early to get up. Lilith opened the door of her room. Now she could perfectly hear what her parents were saying. They were arguing. Again. Arguing seemed to be the only thing they were able to do the last three weeks. Sometimes, Lilith just wanted to step between her parents, and shout "Please stop!". But she couldn't. She descended the stairs and glanced in the living room. There they were. She tried to avoid them. Suddenly, she heard her mother shout:

"No Daniel, I'm done with you! I can't handle it anymore. You're leaving this house. -C'mon Mary you can't be serious!

-I am. I'm deadly serious. And stop calling me Mary, my name's Mary-Sue.

Lilith quickly turned to face her parents. Her mother was heading towards her room. Daniel followed her.

-What are you doing?

-I'm packing your stuff, don't you see? You are going to leave this house now! I don't want to see you ever again. Nor your "sweet" mistress.

-Her name's Kaylynn!

-No matter what her name is. You're leaving, that's all.

As she was listening to her parents' argument, Lilith heard some cries. She opened the door to the bathroom, and saw Angela. She was lying in the bathtub, her face bathed in tears. Lilith entered the bathtub and took her sister in her arms.

-Seems more violent today, doesn't it? she asked Angie.

Angela didn't answer, but she nodded.

-Here's your suitcase. Grab your coat. Goodbye Daniel.

-Mary, please...

-There's no 'please'! Not anymore! Get out of my house! she shouted as she pushed him outside.

Daniel wanted to go back in the house, open his suitcase and throw his stuff in the hallway. He wanted to tell his wife he wasn't going to leave. But then he realized he had to. He raised his head, taking a last look at his wife's face.

-Goodbye Mary.

Then he left. Mary-Sue violently slammed the door. She then froze in the middle of the hallway. So she did it. She eventually kicked him of the house. She eventually told him she knew everything about Kaylynn. And now? What would she do? She had no idea. Mary-Sue fell on the floor, and started crying. She didn't hear that in the bathroom, her daugthers were also in tears.

---

Later that day, Lilith logged in Messenger. She had stopped crying for hours now, but Angela was still in tears, laying on her bed. Mary-Sue couldn't comfort her. A few hours earlier, she left to visit her parents, Herb & Coral Oldie, who lived in SimCity. She would be back tonight. The girls were left alone a second time this day. By their dad, then by their mom. Lilith was lost in her thought when she heard the noise that meant someone sent her a message. Ripp Grunt: Hey! How are you today? She stared at this question several minutes. How was she? Awful, to be honest. She didn't want to tell him. She didn't want to bother him with her annoying problems. But then she had to.

Lilith Pleasant: Awful...

Lilith Pleasant: You remember that time you told me about your mother? How sad you were when she left? And the pain you feel everytime because you have to live with only one parent. The one you don't like, and who don't like you either.

Ripp Grunt: Unfortunately yes. Why?

Lilith Pleasant: Now I know how you feel...

Ripp Grunt: Wanna talk about it?

Lilith Pleasant: Let's meet at SimCity park. Tonight at 7:00pm.

Lilith waited a few seconds before she sent this last message. She didn't want to sneak out. She knew it would cause even more pain to her mother. But she had to talk to someone who would understand her, without judging her. She sent the message. She wanted to tell Angela she was leaving tonight. But she couldn't. Because Angie would tell Mary-Sue, and they would find her. Right now, Lilith didn't want to be with her family. Actually, she didn't what she wanted... As she raised her eyes to her computer screen, she saw Ripp had replied to her last message.

Ripp Grunt: Ok, see you tonight.
