Maddie's POV

I made my way through the bushes to my backyard. I was beaming; I had missed my best friends more than anything!

Now that wasn't such a bad day, was it Maddie?

Maybe I spoke too soon. Instead of coming back to a dark, quiet bedroom, I walked into my mom sitting on my bed, waiting for me.

"Where have you been?" She demanded.

I awkwardly placed my hand on the back of my neck, debating whether to tell the truth or fib.

If you get caught in the lie, maybe it'll be worse than just coming out with it. But what if you won't get caught?

She waited silently for me to answer, making it that much more awkward.

"Umm...ok, honestly, I snuck out to meet my friends at the park! I haven't gotten to see them, and I knew after tonight's dinner you wouldn't let me go!" I spilled.

I carefully examined my mothers face. She was very hard to read; unlike my dad, who was an open book. She didn't look too angry, but honestly, her face just looked blank. After what seemed like an eternity, she stood up and held out her hand.

"Give me your phone," she whispered.

"What?"

"I said, give me the phone."

I let out a small whimper. My phone was like a small piece of me, my mother wouldn't know, she never even heard of a cell phone when she was a kid.

"Mom, you don't understand! You can't take away my phone," I pleaded.

But she didn't budge. She kept her hand extended out. Something tells me I won't be getting my phone back for a while.

"You don't get me!" I screamed, letting out a sob.

"Don't get you? No Madison, I don't! You sneak out without my permission in the middle of the night, and you don't expect to be punished?"

I threw the phone into her hands.

"Take the damn phone! Get out of my room!" I screamed, slamming the door behind her.

I plopped down in my bed, and wiped away my tears. I reached out to my bedside table to text Paige, when I remembered I didn't have my phone. I let out a groan and slipped under my covers. Without even turning off the light, I fell into a deep, dark sleep.

I'd like to see her live my life, ha.
