Simone and Elizabeth are seen in Simone's car, Charlie walking up her driveway as the two move on.

Simone: So. You ready to tell your parents about us yet?

Elizabeth:... Y-Yeah... I... I'm ready.

She was clearly nervous about this. Simone had expected the family had fallen apart after what she did to Mike, but she hoped she wouldn't have to do anything drastic here. Simone pulls into the driveway of the Afton household. She parked her car and the two girls get out. Simone walks up to her and grabs her hand.

Simone(thinking): it's important that this goes well. Need to get on this families good side.

Simone: If you feel too uncomfortable, or like, want a way out then just pinch my shoulder.

Elizabeth nods. The two walk up to the house and Elizabeth got her keys out, almost dropping them before shakily putting them into the lock and turning them to open the door. She opens the door and both walk in. The house was messy. Not a complete mess, but there were a few dishes in the sink, the garbage needed to be taken out, nothing was fully clean and that was just what Simone saw entering the house. They came to the living room and Simone instantly saw her girlfriend's mother, sitting on the couch sitting next to the phone, waiting for it to ring.

Elizabeth: M-Mum?

Clara flinched, glancing back at her daughter for a moment and then back to the phone.

Clara: Welcome home...

She spoke rather quietly. Simone could tell that she was broken up by Mike's sudden vanishing. It felt weird knowing that she was behind it. She had seen both of Liz's parents after the incident but she never felt like this. Maybe it was the fact she didn't have much of an escape. Everytime before was at home or work. Her domain. But this was theirs now.

Simone(Thinking): Poker face don't fail me now...

Right then a door opens and out walked Lizzie's dad. He looked tired. His clothes seemed to be reused from several days prior. His hair was messy and had bags under his eyes.

Elizabeth: D-Daddy, umm... C-Can I talk w-with you and Mum for j-just a m-moment...?

William does a double take, seeming to snap out of trance.

William: Hm? Is it important?

He says, Simone could pick up the faintest scent of liquor. The pieces fell into place in Simone's mind. He was hung over.

Elizabeth: Y-Yeah... I... I-It will be quick.

William seemed to analyse her, looking to Simone and holding his gaze.

William:... kay...

He grunted, walking to the couch and sitting next to his wife. Clara flinched again, looking to see Liz and Mona sit down on the sofa across from them.

Clara:.. W-What...?

William: Liz want's to tell us something.

He says, but then pointed to Simone.

William: I don't know why she's here though.

Simone: Emotional support.

Elizabeth: U-Umm...

Her voice was shaky.

Elizabeth: I-I know... that... t-this is a weird time t-to say this, b-but... umm... A lot has been happening, a-and I have h-had some time to think... a-and... I just wanted to t-tell you guys...

Simone lightly put her hand on Lizzie's, the girl calming her breathing.

Elizabeth: I... a-am... I-I-I'm gay... w-with h-her.

Simone smiled, Her eyes dart back to the girls parents.

William: Okay.

Elizabeth:... O-Okay?

William: We could tell you were gay since middle school.

Elizabeth:... o-oh.

She had a shocked look. She still had a smile though, happy they accepted her.

William: However.

And her heart skipped a beat.

William:... We do have a problem with you.

He pointed to Simone.

Simone:... Me...?

Clara: Yes.

William: You were the last person seen with him, the last one in the room and building with him. The cameras conveniently go out right when he's leaving. We don't trust you.

Elizabeth: D-Dad.

William: And now, out of nowhere, you start dating our daughter. Even after years of running away from her.

Simone:... I-

Clara: We... don't want to risk anything right now.

Elizabeth: B-B-But.... no! I-I...

William: Elizabeth. We just want to see what comes up. Wait a while.

Simone(thinking): They're onto me.

She tightens her grip on her girlfriend's hand.

Simone: You... must be confused.

All eyes move to her.

Simone:... This wasn't an: "ask for permission" kinda thing... Liz wanted to come out of the closet to you. This isn't ancient Rome, the father doesn't pick and choose who his daughter can and can't marry.

William grit his teeth.

William: You aren't part of this.

Simone: I am part of this. I'm not leaving my girlfriend just because you think you're smarter than the cops.

William: I'm not saying we are. I'm saying you're on the list of possible suspects, and if you did take Mike, then I'd rather Elizabeth not get too attached.

Elizabeth: I'm already attached! B-But she would never do anything to Micheal! Why would she!?

Simone: Mike was a bit of an a-... a j-jerk let's say, but he isn't a bad guy, definatly not murder worthy or whatever. Not for me at least. I'm sorry for your loss, really. I hope he's found but don't punish me for it. Hell, don't punish your daughter either!

She says, putting an arm around Liz. This clearly ticked William off. He stood up, stomping up to her.

William: You don't know what it's like to lose-

He paused, rethinking what he just said. He sighed, stepping back and collapsing onto the couch.

William:... S-Sorry...

Simone had narrowed eyes.

William:... I guess... you have us two against one in that regard...Hehe...heh...

He thinks to himself for a second.

William: Do whatever, I don't care.

He got out of his seat, walking back towards the door.

William: Just, don't do anything in front of me.

He slammed the door. Elizabeth had tears in her eyes.

Elizabeth:... T-Two... a-against... o-o-one...?

Simone: Max is a step dad. Car crash. He probably mentioned it to your dad.

She said, getting up. She looked at Clara, she was back to looking at the phone, tears in her eyes.

Simone(thinking): I'm not in the clear yet. I have to convince them of my innocence at least a little.

Simone: Liz. You coming?

Elizabeth:... S-Sorry... I just... n-need some time alone right now!

She says, getting up and running up stairs to where presumably her room was. Simone was now alone. Except for Clara, but she was zoned out again. Simone let out a sigh.

Simone(whisper): Well, I'll start where I can.

She says, walking to the kitchen. She started the water in the sink, grabbed some soap and a sponge before getting to work, one by one cleaning all of the dishes that had piled up. When she was done, she threw away the garbage lying around, wiped the counters and tables down along with the stove. She then got a laundry basket, grabbing any clothes that were lying around and threw them in. She came to the door Will had gone into, dusts herself off and let out a quick sigh before entering. William was at a desk, face down of course.

William(muffled): Liz. Please. Just leave me alone...

Simone closed the door, walking behind him to grab the clothes he had on the ground.

Simone: Not Liz.

William shot up, spinning to look at the woman.

William: W-What the hell are you still doing here!?

Simone: Well, Lizzy ran upstairs crying and just wanted to be left alone after you stormed off. I thought that I might as well help you guys out a little since your house is... worse for wear. So, I'm getting your laundry.

She put the basket down.

Simone: But... I also just wanted to say one more thing.

She walks over to him.

Simone:... You love your family... all of them.

William: Of c-course...

Simone:... Well. I want Liz to be happy. Just like you. She can't be happy however without you.

She placed a hand on his shoulder.

Simone:... I know this feels like hell right now. But please... Drinking won't solve anything... Neither will neglecting her.

William looks at her in the eyes.

Simone: She needs you to be happy in order for her to be happy. I'd do anything to make her happy.

William:...

Simone(thinking): C'mon. One question. One word. Say it drunkie...

William:... Anything?

Simone(thinking): Bingpot.
