Ellie

When I entered the house, it was ominously quiet. I knew everyone was here because all of their cars were outside. This was just going to make it even harder.

I tiptoed past Brandi's room, and was almost to mine when I heard, "Ah, look who's home!"

I slumped my shoulders and dropped my head at the sound of Jack's voice. I turned around and faced my penance.

"Where have you been? We have all been worried sick about you!" He yelled

Jeez, could I just get into the door in peace?

"Jack, I am fine, I was just with a friend."

He crossed his arms tightly across his chest.

"Mhm, really?"

"Yes! Calm down." I said

"Well sorry if I don't want to 'calm down', but I have been up all night worried sick about you, and so has Amber and Brandi. We have been scouring the streets for you, calling all of the hospitals, even went to your office to see that your car was there but you weren't!"

I stared at Jack with a tight expression.

"Stop freaking out! I was with Leo, I said I was fine!" I yelled back.

I heard the door to my left open.

"Ellie, oh my God!" I heard Brandi yell

She ran to me and hugged me tightly.

"Where the hell have you been?" I heard her ask

"I was with a friend." I said, keeping calm

"Which friend?"

I sighed and gave her "the look", out of all of them, I didn't have any other friends, except for Leo of course. She should know this.

"Wait, hold up... you were with Leo weren't you?" She asked

Bingo!

I looked back at her expecting to see a look of scolding, but actually she had the biggest smile on her face.

"Yeah." I replied

"Come on Jack, there is a reason she didn't call us. She's a grown woman, not a baby. She's capable of making her own decisions." Brandi defended

I looked towards Jack who's stern look was now slowly fading into soft annoyance.
