(A/n just want to thank you guys for all your lovely comments!!)

Lizzie woke up in her bed, with a small chill hanging in the room. She dressed up in a jumper and some joggy bottoms. In the corner of her eye, Lizzie saw a slip of paper half underneath the door. She slowly picked it up:

Elizabeth- Chores:

Hang the washing up
Dust the house
•Mop the kitchen

L= Great, didn't know we had to do chores! I'll still meet Joel..

La= (bursts open the door) is Joel your ex?

L= Oh! Uhh

La= Sorry for barging in and everything (cheeks turn rose)

L= It's fine

La= We get chores three times a week and they mist be completed before 4pm or there's a consequence.

L= What's the consequence?

La= Well mostly it's that you miss supper and you don't get a star.

L= A star? (Laughs)

La= Yes. We get stars if we've done something good like chores.

L= What's so important about them?

La= When you get 5, you can have half an hour outside the care home and have to return. When you reach 10, you get an hour.

L= Oh. I was going to meet Joe-

La= Well you can't until you have 5 stars, and why are you meeting your ex?

L= It doesn't matter. (Walks out)

Lizzie thuds downstairs in anger. Why can't she go out? Why is it a policy? These questions fly about in her mind like a hurricane.

D= Try not to break the house down why don't you!

L= Why the hell do I need stars to go out??

D= Language! And it's a sensible reward system.

L= No, it's not!

Suddenly, Mindy pops out of no where.

M= It's not that bad, you can get stars quite easily.

D= Not if you speak with that attitude, Eliza-

L= CALL ME LIZZIE!! (storms upstairs)

Lacy is walking down the corridor when Lizzie bumps into her.

L= OUT OF MY WAY

La= Eek sorry

Lizzie slams her door shut and from below, she can hear Jaxon howling downstairs.

C= If you carry on like this, you'll have no phone and no supper. (From outside door)

L= I don't give a SH*T.

C= That's it no supper and no phone. (Opens door)

L= You can't take my phone away!!

C= Oh but I can, and I am.

L= This place is terrible!

C= Get used to it sweetie

Caren takes Lizzie's phone and shuts the door behind her with disappointment. Lizzie looks at the clock, she and Joel had arranged to meet at 11, it was 10:29. Lizzie looked at the window. That was the plan. She quickly sat up and opened the window. Her shaking feet slid down the roof ledge, and she found herself falling onto the cobble below. She stood up, brushed herself off, and started walking to meet Joel.
