edit page 22 breaking the law

 

 

shes on holiday in Italy with Bud and their Italian friends , the others are stealing things from a deli . they are not short of money , this was about a dare . Lizzy tries to lift a sausage from the display and stands there gormlessly hysterically laughing and has to put it back 
 
then shes jumping the train barriers and bunking the fair , and hiding in the train toilet having a smoke . Either shes short of money or trying to escape from somebody  . theres a booming announcement YOU HAVE BEEN SEEN JUMPING THE BARRIERS 
 
shes tried illegal drugs but only cannabis and LSD . they took rent from friends while claiming benefits . in their peer group its a display of courage to break the law , a rite of passage to ' fuck the system ' as it were and to avoid a very uncool thing called WORK 
 
then she meets Simon and starts being a bit more straight , volunteering to visit the job centre, but they always turn her down  
 
shes pretty steady until 2013 when she starts streaking and running round the streets screaming , disturbing the peace , screaming indoors and masturbating in the garden . n the parties with Brooke where they flash their breasts at the front door 
 
n shes carried a lump of cannabis through Victoria station  
 
people think shes fine and could easily work but shes exhausted with untreated ptsd and needs money for very expensive therapy 

shes disaffected and extremely angry about her mothers suicide 
and the subsequent family arguments
