"It's only me mom. Don't worry." Liz's mother came into the room where she was and hugged her. "Please mom. I just want to be alone."
"OK honey. If you need me just call my name."
"Alright mom." Liz ran up to her room and she her door. She went into her bathroom and washed her face. She looked at her reflection in the mirror and said,"God your so pathetic.Crying right in front of people you don't even know. The only way you know them is by T.V." Liz started to cry some more "But Erin is gone......" It got quiet and Liz decided to go to bed. She looked through her window up at the sky. Then Liz looked down to see some lights flickering on and off. She looked real closely to see it was Tay. She waved and smiled. He smiled and waved back. She mouthed to him meet me outside."
He mouthed back Ok I'll meet you out there in two minutes. Minutes later Liz and Taylor were outside walking towards each other. "Hi." said Liz
"Hey." said Tay. "Whats up?"
"nothing much. Just thinking and stuff."
"About what?" asked Tay
"Just stuff. But enough with me what have you been up to?"
"Nothing really. When I got back from walking you home Ike and Zac were bugging me. So I decided to go in our room and listen to music when I noticed your light was on and wanted to your attention so I started to flicker mine off and on."
Liz laughed and said,"Why i think this is the first time all day I feel loved."
Tay said,"I'm glad I've made someone feel loved today." Tay blushed Liz and Tay started to walk down the street talking about their day. "So Liz it's 12:30 AM are you tired yet?"
Liz smiled and said,"No. Hey whats that?"
"Huh?" said Tay
"Up ahead whats that?"
"I don't know. Come one lets go see." said Taylor
Liz grabbed onto Tay's hand and said,"Um maybe we should go back to my house you can come over and have somethin to drink."
"No, come on lets go check it out."
"No Taylor please. Lets go back." Liz whined.
"Stop your whinning Liz you pointed it out and wanted to know what it was."
"NO! My friend died today can't we go back. I'm not really in the mod to be messed with so lets go!." Liz demanded
Taylor sighed,"Ok come on lets go back to your house."
"Now that's more like it." Liz laughed
"Liz I'm sorry I'm being so rude. It's just I've never delt with anyone who lost their best friend."
"Taylor it's ok. I'm sure I'll be fine. " said Liz. Then she murmered,"Hopefully."
Taylor hugged Liz and said,"Liz I am really sorry about Erin. If you ever need a friend just count on me."
Liz laughed ,"You know Tay that was the cheeseyest thing you'v ever said."
Tay laughed,"Yeah I guess so. But c'mon lets go back to your house." They made it back to Liz's house. Liz said,"Come on in."
"Ok." Tay said. They entered the house and Liz went and checked in the family room for her mom. She wasn't there. Liz though Maybe she went to bed already.

"Whats wrong" Ike asked with concern.
"It's it's her house Ike there's somethin really wrong.
