I reclaimed the notes and pen that Raine had taken from me and began doodling again, appearing wretched and despondent, and Raine was having none of it. She sprung from my bed and took a position before me, her hands on her waist. Her eyes, which were fixed on me, were furious. "I can't take it any longer. I don't want to see any more of your dismal side, so I'll come back here tomorrow, Saturday, at exactly 10 a.m. and pick you up. I'll make you forget about your sadness. We'll have a good time."

I leaned back as to not laugh in the mic. This was both ridiculous and awesome at the same time.

Flora's lips curled into a mocking smile as she seemed about to say more when Shaun Gabler hurried in from outside. Her expression changed instantly, and she reverted to her innocent and delicate persona while calling out helplessly, "Shaun…" By then, the first wave of the earthquake had ended. What was once a clean and orderly office was now a chaotic mess. Debris was scattered everywhere on the floor, and the hanging lights on the ceiling swayed precariously, mirroring the unease in everyone's hearts during the quake. Shaun scanned the room and saw me trapped under the heavy cupboard. "Nancy, are you okay?" His gaze flickered, but he didn't step forward to help.

------------ "And I pick myself up And I dust off the words You tried to stick me with 'Cause I know words are words Angry little vowels And conscientious letters Surrounded by derogatory question marks And accusatory exclamations. And at the end of the day I remember words are power (But only power if you believe them) So I pick my vowels and my letters And I stick myself with my own word: Strong I am Strong.." -----Raven White

There's a rainbow always after the rain" Zach and Raven duet "Life's full of challenges Not all the time we get what we want But don't despair my dear (coz I know now)

We were blasting, Icona Pop whilst dancing in his living room. "I got this feeling on the summer day when you were gone, I crashed my car into the bridge, I watched, I let it burn", I sang. "I threw your shit into a bag and pushed it down the stairs I crashed my car into the bridge, I don't care!" he chimed.
