Lily's way out

Chapter 5:

It has been a few weeks since my parents had sat me down.

And I have been such a good daughter, I stayed inside the house. But it is driving me insane, it actually is. I have read all my books, I have listened to all my music and I have seen every movie that is available. I just can not do this anymore.

"Okay Lily, we can do this" I said to myself. "We are just going to the library to pick up some new books and then straight home.

I got my coat and a backpack and went out of the door. The walk to and from the library was amazing. I never knew that you could miss something like walking as much as I did.

I opened the front door and was still thinking about the walk and I was just so happy.

But then I looked up, my parents were standing in front of me. They looked worse that the last time I could properly see them. Mom was skin over bones and my dad was missing a tooth. But what shocked my the most were there eyes.

They looked black. "Oh honey where have you been!!" my mom screeched at me. "We came home and you were not here and we got so worried about you." She was almost yelling at this point. "Why would you do this to us" my dad asked me. I looked down, I never realised that going out would be such a big scare for them. I didn't even leave a note or a message that I was going out. Tears were dripping from my eyes when I finally looked back up.

"I am so sorry mom, dad. I am so sorry I didn't think I would be out for so long, I didn't want you guys to get worried about me. Please forgive me"

A set of arms went around me, it felt weird. We didn't hug in our family, my parents just didn't like it. But my mom was hugging me and holding me very tight. "You scared us so bad young lady, how could you do this to us". My dad was looking at me expectantly, but I didn't know the answer.

The silence seemed to agitate them, my mom let me go and looked me over. "Victoria let her go now, it is time for some discipline. Mom looked my into the eyes and held my head, "You know we don't like doing this to you Lily, but you have been so bad today."

My dad looked at me once more and then turned around and walked away. I dropped my head and looked at my shoes again, how could I do something so selfish. I'm such a horrible person and whatever mom and dad come up with I will go through, maybe I will remember what is right and wrong.
