Lightning Lips

Candice collapsed onto her bed and stated at the ceiling, school had completely drained her, but that was all over now. All of her exams were finished and the world was her canvas. She picked up her phone, only to find a text from her boyfriend, Mason. They had been together since she was fifteen and known each other since preschool. Their love was a classic fairy tale that was flawless. Candice's dad barged into her India themed room with his hands on his hips and a disappointed look had stained his face.
"So your all done now, no more school. Time for you to build a life and be as successful as your old man." he said in a serious tone. She just glanced at him.
"I have told you before and I will tell you again, I don't want to be a doctor, I don't want to be you!"
This was an argument that bounced around constantly and had become worse ever since het mum had left her dad.

He kept grilling her, and inside she could feel her self builing and building,like a bomb waiting to explode. Before she could say anything, a raging storm a rushed in and curios lightning and thunder put on a show for the whole cove. Candice felt hot and upset because she knew it was het fault. Whenever she got upset, the weather became violent and infuriated and very damaging. She tried telling this to her father, mother, grandmother and boyfriend, but they told her she wad crazy. She was scared of what was inside, to embrace the unknown. So she hid it, hoping she could suppress it , if she held it in.
