" you dont get it do you..?" said colette, her eyes filling with tears. " i left....becasue i care for you...I STEAL because i care for you...i could have taken the EASY road, and went back home with you, and your father and yourself would have never pulled together and gotten over you mother. but because i CARE for you, i don not accept it. i will not accept it. i earn it becasuse im not getting caught. i earned it because i gave up HAPPINESS so you could have CLOSURE with your parents! dont tell me you do it becasue you care for me. i know better. i know you care for me- friend of friends, but you know that i would rather do it myself until i am unable to. not until then, will i ever exept your charity.
