Mia: *screams*

Mia's father: All I want is for you to be the best of yourself without getting harassed. Your friends always protect you.

Mia: What about Arthur, he could care more than me and his family. He doesn't have any problems or trouble lately. Did you see how Arthur got jumped and you helped him? Open your eyes and explain that.

Mia's father: Because the last time you see him, don't ever expect anything for Christmas this year and that's final.

Mia: *follows and punches him in the face* Karma is a bitch. *leaving*

Arthur: *sees Mia* Mia.

Mia: Hey.

Jennifer: You can come in.

Mia: Arthur, we need to talk.

Arthur and Mia went to the room when Mia wanted him to hear a whole conversation about her dad.

Mia: Arthur, I can't live like this. I-I'm just done. *sits on the bed*

Arthur: It's about your dad?

Mia: Yes, he still getting annoyed with you, all the time.

Arthur: Well, your dad needs to stay out of my business.

Mia: I already took him out.

Arthur: *sits next to her* Good. You shouldn't let your father run out of his mouth.

Mia: I don't need him.

Arthur: *rubbing her back*

Mia: What about my mom? I wasn't going to tell you for a while. My mom was going to divorce him.

Arthur: *hearing*

Mia: My dad doesn't like to stick around with my friends except me.

Arthur: So what's next?

Mia: Do you think so?

Arthur: *nods* My family going to the diner for Thanksgiving.

Mia: I'll be there.

*15 minutes later*

Steve: Have you learned anything, Mia?

Mia: Well...I write the journals like Rhythm, poems, and a diary.

Steve: That's good but the only thing is when you write the book, you will become famous.

Mia: To be honest, I'd like to do different things besides what was written.

Steve: *nods*

Jennifer: I know you going through a hard time against your family, your parents should forgive you as soon as possible.
