"Who?" I asked.

"Your dad! Where is he?" Pepper yelled angrily.

Oh sh*t! My dad is really drunk right now. He can't talk to Pepper! He is not thinking right. I don't want him yelling at Pepper.

"Um...he is..." I started to say, but couldn't think of a lie.

Peter looked around the room until he saw a picture of a bowling ball and said, "Bowling. He is bowling."

"Bowling? Well, when will he be back because I need to talk to him?"

"Um...I'm not sure, but I can text you when he's back." I suggested.

"Ok, bye." she said as she left.

As she left, I began to think about hearing my dad say those hurtful words. I now know he didn't say them. I did need to talk to someone about it. I tried to leave the room quietly so no one would ask where I was going.

"Skyler, where are you going?" Peter asked.

I couldn't tell him where I was going or he would stop me from going.

"Um... I'm just going to go watch Netflix." I lied.

"Oh ok. See you later." Peter replied.

I slowly walked down the hallway that led to the cells. I needed answers! There were 2 guards that were guarding the cell I needed to get to. I used my powers to break the mug that one of the guards were holding to cause a distraction. It shattered in his hands.

He screamed in pain as very small pieces of glass went into his hand

He screamed in pain as very small pieces of glass went into his hand. Both guards went to get something to get the glass out of his hand. I went up to the cell and saw Ashley sitting on the cold ground.

"Ashley." I whispered.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Ashley asked, irritated.

"Trust me, I don't want to be here either, but I need answers."

"What answers do you need?" Ashley asked.

"I want to know if you and your sister tricked me into believing that my dad really thought I was a monster." I said angrily.
