Sirens (Cheryl fanfic)

Chapter 124

Max froze forgetting the fact that her mother saw her in that racing track and both her parents doesn't seem to be happy about it.

"Well?"

"Well, I was going through the internet and came across to it. I didn't tell you cause I'm being distant and you're not gonna agree with it anyway s-"

"So why did you do it? You said it yourself that we're not going to agree with it so why..." Max had gone mute. She admits that she doesn't have the answer to that.

"And you even bought a car. F*cking where did you got the money!"

"Cheryl"

"Tell us where did you got the money to buy a f*cking car"Cheryl snapped. She was cool earlier but now she's boiling. She just hate the fact that Max is being stupid for making a bad decision.

"Mam, I race for money" Max whispered. She suddenly felt so small with the tone of her mother's voice.

"For f*ck sake Max that's illegal!"Cheryl shot up and let out a groan.

"It's my escape!"Max shouted back tears already forming in her eyes, She didn't know that was illegal but she doesn't seem to mind that, because racing makes her feel good.

"Escape? What, from us?"When Max didn't respond Cheryl felt like a thousand knives just stabbed her in the heart.

"D'you know what, You're grounded."

"B-"

"You will stay in this house for a whole month. I will get your car towed and no more racing!"

"Mam, I have a race ne-"

"I said no more racing! Done!" And eith that she stormed out of the room leaving a shocked Katy and a dumbfounded Max.

"So, guess I'm locked up here for a month." Max let out a shaky whisper after a long silence making Katy shot her head to her daughter to see that her back os already turned to her.

For some reason, Katy was upset with Cheryl.Maybe its too much that she had to ground her daughter or maybe she just loves Max so much that she can't handle the thought of her thinking and feeling like she's a prisoner here for a month.

"Sweetums, I'll talk to your mam okay. Everything will be okay soon. " Max didn't respond making Katy sigh and just planted a kiss on Max's cheek before getting out of her room, immediately finding for Chetyl who she found at their bedroom, sat at the edge of the bed with her head in her hands.

"Can I come in?" Cheryl looks up as Katy walked in closing the door behind her.

"You know you should've had talked to her properly."Katy walked towards the bed and sat beside the brunette.

"Katy...I'm trying to discipline her. She's not the old Max I use to know before. Now, she's doing illegal things that could make her go to jail. She's being a rebel"

Silence.

Katy doesn't know how to answer that. But she believes that there are other ways for this to be solved.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Hmmm..."

"Do you think that keeping her locked up in her for a month eill straighten her up?"

"Ka-"

"No, wait. Do you remember what Max have been through all these years." This made Cheryl think and look at the other side of the situation.

"And do you remember what is her state back then. Babe, you need to understand that Max is a fragile teen. She's so fragile. And keeping her locked up in here can be more dangerous than her racing out there."
