to protect you,

Lyric finally chimes in.

Money stuff

is always hard

to talk aboutespecially

when pride is involved.

Well, I didn’t ask them

to protect me

from that.

I pout.

Can I be honest with you?

Lyric starts.

My whole body goes taut

like a rubber band being stretched

to its limit

because the way she says this

I can tell it’s going

to be

hard to digest.

I guess.

I understand you’re hurt.

But you did lie to them.

Lyric begins.

They get to have feelings too.

But just because they are mad

and won’t help fund your gap year

doesn’t mean you have to give up.

I mean, where’s your sense of hustleor pride?

This is your dream, your life, right?

I’m sure you can find a way to make it happen
