"Sorry Mama." Belle says lowering her head. "We need to talk." "But I don't want to talk." Belle says. "I want breakfast." "Annabelle." Lizzy warns. Belle swallows hard and walks to her chair at the table which is right next to the chair Lizzy's sitting in. "I'm sorry Mom." Belle says softly. "Is this about Dad giving me all that sugar?" "I wish it was baby. It's about you and your school work." Lizzy says.

"Look Liz, there's something I want you to consider." "And what's that?" "She may have ADD." "You can't be serious." "I've seen it with some of my other students. She can't pay attention and when she does its not for long. Lizzy look I understand you want to protect her but...something is going on." The tutor says. "I'll see what I can do." Lizzy sighs.

After about an hour of talking the psychologist walks out. "She doesn't have ADD." "Then what is it?" "Is everything ok at home?" "Everything's fine." "Are you sure?" "Yes. Why wouldn't it be?" "Belle wants to go live with her father." "What do you mean?" "Belle tells me she lives with her mother and her step dad and she loves you both but she thinks maybe things will be better if she lived with her real dad." "Thanks." Lizzy says. The psychologist nods and lets the pair leave. "So did you figure out what's wrong?" Bo asks later that night. "Belle wants to live with Matt." Lizzy says.
