At his little mumble Emily raised an eyebrow at him basically saying she didn't fully believe him. She then smiled and shook her head. She wouldn't push if he didn't want to tell her, it would probably come out eventually, he always told her everything one way or another. And just as she thought he explained what he had been thinking about. She turned her head to look at him as he explained. "Calvin, you shouldn't have to get used to it. If things aren't okay, you need to talk to someone, maybe Dr. Anderson...or maybe you could try getting emancipated, then you don't have to live here if you don't want to. Your mom and Karl would have no control over you then." She paused as she took his hand in hers, "Trust me if I think I could afford it and that I'd win, I would have tried to get emancipated years ago. But it's only one year away, and my dad's not around a lot so it's not so bad. I ignore him and ever since father's day and my video to him he seems to leave me alone." She paused, "Part of me feels a little bad...weird I know, but I think I hurt him. Or maybe he realizes how much his indifference has hurt me over the years. Maybe it will make him change...it doesn't really matter though. As soon as I turn eighteen I'm out of there." Calvin then changed the subject to the song,
"The song was good, very well written, the lyrics and the music go really well together. My next question will make it easier for me to help you and you have to be honest with me, don't dance around it just tell me...remember you can trust me with anything. Basically my question is, what were you thinking about when you started to write it, is it about someone in particular, or a particular time? If so what? Any of my poems I can look at and I remember exactly what I was feeling when I wrote it, every single one. You have to recreate that emotion and then the songwriting will come easily." Emily turned over to lay on her stomach and propped herself up on her elbows, "So...what is the song about? What were you feeling at the time?"
