The lights filling into my bedroom. I've been unable to sleep thinkin' about how mad Hailie got last night.

She never really does go out and she's a good girl, never gets into any trouble. She's never even touched a cup of beer without me somewhere by her. I felt terrible and I had to make it up to my little girl.

I pushed out of bed, used the restroom and brushed my teeth. I looked at myself in the mirror, my wrinkles prominent and my face worn. I disliked it and turned away. It was 12:30 p.m. And I heard a noise come outside her door while walking downstairs to make some cereal.

I thought against going down now and pushed open the door. She's here, hair covering up all of her face and only in a white shirt. I hear her light snores and walk downstairs.

I come back after breakfast, it's now 1:00. I go past her room once more and she's awake. I pushed open the door.

"You up?" I ask and she nods. I can tell whatever she did last night on Skype or whatever took a serious toll. There's lipstick on various parts of her face, her eye make ups so smudged it makes her look like a raccoon and her hairs in a flat ponytail.

I walk in, open her tightly closed curtains. She winces in the light and I sit on her bed.

"Listen, Hai. I've been thinking about last night. A lot. And I just want to say if you want to go to any other party with your friends from school, I'm down. I know you're a good girl." She's looking at me, a dazed look in her eyes.

"Thanks." She says. Something feels a little on edge. Like she's done something behind my back or something. I lean in closer. Finally it kicks into my mind, she's had a hangover. The booze is still on her breath as she grabs her phone. Rage bubbles inside me.

Why and how Hailie do something like this?!

"So, Hailie. What did you do last night after I went to sleep?" I tried to remain collected, but the outrage is forcing its way through.

"Um. Just hung out and stuff..." Hailie trailed off. I know she's lying.

"Where? At a liquor store?!" I yelled and the realization washed into her. Hailie's out of her daze and now close to tears. I know she hates it when I start to get pissed, but fug it.

"Dad, I-" She begins, but I'm not having that shlit.

"But? But? But what?! You disobeyed me, Hailie Jade! Why?! Why'd you do it?!" I was full blown enraged now, her tears rushing out. My heart broke a little at the sight of my baby girl crying, but I knew this is what needed to be done.

"Well?! Spit it the fug out!!" I never swear at Hailie, but she never goes behind my back and drinks booze.

"I-I. I don't know, Dad. I'm so so sorry!" She's in a sea of tears now. But I don't care.

"Bullshlit, Hailie! Bullshlit!" I'm so pissed I could say something I could regret so I walk out. But not before I grab her phone.

I'm stomping off to my bedroom and I'm calling Kim before Hailie can come back and save herself. Kim picks up and I answer as calmly as possible.

"Hello Marshall." She starts

"Come take Hailie to your house." I say, getting right to the point.

"Marshall, I have Whitney over right now. We can't switch in the middle of the plan." She complains.

"Kim, for fugs sake just switch! Hailie's gone to a party, drank and probably had sex with some boy I don't know. I don't know if this is the right thing to do but I need Hailie to not be here or I'm going to say some shlit I'll seriously regret."

"What! Why would she do that?!" Kim's now enraged.

"I. Don't. Know. That's for you to find out." I say.

"Okay. I'll tell Whit to go pack her stuff and I'll be there in twenty minutes." Kim says before hanging up.

"Hey." I turn around to see Hailie standing there. Her eyes are rimmed in sanguine and puffiness and I want to hug her.

"Hey, Hailie." I say, walking over.

"I'm so, so sorry. I-I swear I don't know what happened. I just-" She sobs into my shoulder and I rub her back.

"Okay, baby. You're going to go to your moms for a little bit. I just have one question to ask you, seriously and in honesty. Did you have sex with that Andre guy?" I'm staring at her and she blushes at the word "sex". Hailie shakes her head vigorously and I smile.

"Aight. Good. You're still grounded though. Give your phone, laptop all that stuff. And your mom's going to be dropping you off at school because your car is staying here."

I can tell she wants to say something offensive and rude. But she bites her tongue, thank God. She stomps off to go get her stuff for Kim's and her electronics for me. I really hate to punish Hailie, but this warranted a punishment.

In a few minutes, all of her electronics are piled onto my bed and her car keys sit atop the mountain. She's now wearing clothes and make up and a big green duffel bag. After a quick check to see if anything was in there, I let her go downstairs to get in Kim's car.

Before she goes, I give her a hug. Hailie's still pissed beyond belief but you never know when and if I'm going to leave for recording. Even though I was going to be over Kim's for Thanksgiving, I still don't know my schedule.

It's 3:00 p.m. and I'm alone. Whitney's at a movie with her friends and I'm just sitting on my couch, watching the football highlights. I decide the loneliness was unbearable and I called the only person I knew who'd be there.

Catharine. She picks up on the third ring.

"'Ello?" She says and I can hear that attractive Irish accent.

"Hey Catharine, it's Marshall."

"Hey." I can hear the smile in her voice. That made me smile.

"Are you feeling alone or something?" She asks, a hint of sarcasm in her voice.

"Yeah, I just got after my daughter because she went to some party without my consent. I'm still angry 'bout it."

"It's okay. What did you have in mind?" She's laughing. God, she's so cute.

"I kinda blocked off right now. My other daughters at a movie so when she comes back, wanna come over and watch the highlights with me?" I knew I couldn't leave a twelve year old home alone while I was with her.

"Okay, whatever. Address?" She inquires and I tell her.

"22 Mile?" She asks and I hear the smirk in her voice.

"Yup. That's where I live."

"Alright, I'll be over soon, Marshall." She says before hanging up.

She's so confident and mischievous, maybe that's what Hailie sees in Andre?
