struggles

Later that night, James was at his bar with Lily, where he encouraged Lily to drink a lot of alcohol to get over her parent's death.

He got a text saying, “hurry up, we don't have all night.” That is when he encouraged Lily even more, to drink till she almost passed out. He then snuck his hand inside her bag and took out her wallet, collecting a credit and debit card. He asked Lily for her account number, social security, and PIN. Out of drunkenness, she told him.

He then left her in the bar, thinking of what he had done. He drove to the warehouse and met some people. Who he gave the card and the account number, and Pin.

Mike then asked James where Lily was. James said. “She is still at the bar.”.

“You left her there alone, half passed out in a bar at night.” Mike said as he entered a car, he drove back to the bar. He spotted lily on the counter, almost lifeless; he picked her up and took her home.

The next morning, Lily woke up in her bed as Susan was opening the curtain.

“Susan, your vacation is not yet over? What are you doing here?” Lily asked, trying to block the sunlight from hitting her face.

“I heard the news, so I had to come back.” Susan said.

“The news that my parents died, I thought it was a dream,” Lily said.

“Mike brought you in last night because you were drunk at the bar and half passed out,” Susan said.

“Could my day get any worse.” Lily said, then there was a notification on her phone saying she withdrew 8 million dollars from her account.

She screamed with anger.

“My day is officially ruined. It couldn't get any worse than this.” Lily said as she received a call from the police department, who claimed that she was a suspect in her parents' death.

“Could this day get even more…” Lily said as she was interrupted by Susan.

“Shh, be quiet. Okay.” Susan said.

Susan left Lily's room, and went to Brina and Alyssa, who were in the living room, wondering if she was okay.

“'She is fine, but her problem just got worse, she was robbed, 8 million dollars from her account, and she is a suspect for her parents' death.”.

“Poor girl, could this day…” Brina was about to say, then Susan interrupted saying. “Please don't say it, it would only make the situation worse.”.

“What is wrong with saying could this day get any worse.” Alyssa said, then there was a scream from Lily's room. Alyssa, Brina and Susan went to go check.

“Lily, are you okay?” Alyssa asked.

“Do I look okay to you?” Lily asked angrily.

“I just lost another 2 million dollars, sum it up, and that is 10 million dollars. One day, my parents are dead, and I am being held as a suspect. So, does that sound okay to you?” Lily said.

“Slowly back away from her, IED(Intermittent explosive disorder) is back and this time for a good reason.” Susan said.

“You mean that thing that used to happen to her as a kid? I thought she no longer had it.” Alyssa asked.

They backed away slowly until they left the room and shut the door behind them.

“Oh gosh, I have to go, I have customers waiting for me, tell lily I said she should give me a call when everything is alright.” Brina said.

“Same, I have to go, I have 6 children. Tell Lily everything will be alright.” Alyssa said.

As soon as they left, Susan walked back into Lily's room. And sees Lily crying and holding a box of tissue on the bed, Susan goes and sits next to her.

“Lily, listen to me, I know you lost your parents you have every right to be sad, to cry, but you also have to be strong. Yes you're facing obstacles, but that shouldn't put you down, there are many other people that lost someone important to them, but if they see you strong, it would give them the strength they need. Now get up; you have a lot of issues to fix.”.

“But I miss them already. I didn't even go to see my dad after he was bailed out.” Lily said, crying even more, Susan hugged her and comforted her.

A few minutes later, Lily came out of her room.

James was standing outside her room with flowers” hey babe how are you?”.

“Not now, James, I have a lot of things to do.”.

“Mary-Ann?”.

“Yes, lily.” As soon as Mary-Ann came, Lily looked at her up and down.

“What happened to your uniform?” Lily asked.

“Are you trying to be like Susan? “Lily said, crossing her arms. “Don't be like her; I liked you how you were, and you and I both know we don't need more than one Susan In the house,” Lily said jokingly.

“Yes, miss lily, what do you need me to do.”.

“I need you to call my bank and tell them to block my account and, if possible, trace where the transaction is being taken from.”.

James hears what Lily said and enters the nearest bathroom, calling his boss, “Lily is blocking her account, withdraw as much as you can quickly.”.

Lily received a notification that 9 million had been withdrawn and another notification, the thief had removed 1997 dollars.” oh, we will catch you, lily,” she said to herself while staring at the notification.

She drove to her parent's house and stepped out of her car.

She tells one of the maids, “tell me everything that happened right before my parents.” the maid tells her everything she can tell.

At the police station, as a lily was entering, camera flashes were everywhere.

“Lily, is it true that you had a hand in your parent's death?” Lily smiled at them, then put on her glasses and walked into the police department.

“Hey lily, you came, I am sorry that you were picked as a suspect, but our evidence is pointing at you, your aunt and cousin, and the workers.” Gina said.

At the interrogation room.

“Your aunt said, you were supposed to be there during the lunch that they had, but you skipped it why.”.

“Because I was with my friends at a restaurant, and before you ask any questions, I did a little digging of my own. I asked the maids at my parents house and most of them that were there at that moment said that my parents ate my own food…”  lily paused for a moment.

“That means You were meant to die.” Gina said and sighed.

“This sends the investigation in a whole new direction, thank you lily for the information, I will call you if anything else comes up.”.

“Welcome back, dear viewers, to talk, talk and talk news, today there is a huge debate on the Internet concerning if humans are really causing climate change or if it is happening naturally. So we invited DR' Manny to tell us more about climate change.”.

“Hi, I doctor Manny a climate change specialist and, climate change is both affected by humans and naturally, humans affect it by burning fossil fuels, cutting down forests and farming livestock. And naturally by volcanic eruptions, ocean currents, the Earth's orbital changes, solar variations and internal variability. But natural events are not always that occurring. Um which makes humans the main cause of the problem, and it could lead to rise in temperature, the Earth could be a huge ball of heat, insect outbreaks, that's why we humans have to be careful before effect comes.”.

We just heard from doctor Manny, such educational words, unto our next topic, Lily's parents recently passed away and people are worried that lily had something to do with it. Gibson85. Posted “I am sure Lily had something to do with it. I mean look at the picture with no emotion in her face, she walks into the police station smiling, if she could sue her father there is no doubt that she could have killed them.” After that hurtful post, Lily's fans attacked him saying.” her father literally sold her rights and if you actually google correctly there is an updated version by CCPD that lily was the one that was supposed to die.” Another supporter said, “I just lost my mother due to cancer, and seeing lily, trying to fight off negative emotions just inspired me, so back off haters.”

 Susan Lily's maid went to Twitter, and she said, “that night, lily heard such horrible news, she was hurt so much that she decided not to leave her room this morning. But she is showing so much courage, getting over it, and by the way, she has other problems to worry about, like the 19million dollars she lost.”

Well that problem is over with. Lily just released a snippet of her new song called keep on dreaming, and it is fire, it has over 15 million likes on YouTube already, imagine what would happen if the full song comes out.”
