"So you're telling me that at least three times a week you sneak out with a boy!" My mom yells.
"Kind of." I say sheepishly as I play with the ends of my hair.
"So what's your name son?" My dad asks Hunter.
"Hunter sir. Hunter West."
"Why does that name sound familiar?" My dad asks himself. Hunter just shrugs his shoulders.
"Just to be clear, you're not pregnant?" My mom asks for the tenth time.
"No mom, I am not pregnant." I tell her.
"You're the schools quarterback!" my dad yells as he stands up and points at Hunter.
"I am sir." Hunter tells him.
"What are you doing with my daughter then? You could have any girl you want."
"DAD!" I shout a little hurt and trying to help Hunter out of this predicament.
"Just asking baby girl. Can't have just anyone dating my daughter. Besides, I know what quarterbacks are like. Don't forget I used to be one." He says to me.
"Oh, um, we're not dating." Hunter tells my dad. "I actually have a girlfriend."
"I'm sorry son, I just thought with you two sneaking off to who-knows-where in the middle of the night, you two would be dating."
"Nope." I tell him popping the 'p'. "Well since it's like 3 in the morning, I'ma head to sleep. Night!" I say going toward the stairs.
"Night Sweetheart! Don't forget when you wake up we are talking about how long you're gonna be grounded for!" I hear my mom say as I head up to my room.
Great.

I woke up to water getting splashed on me.
"Get up honey, time for hell!" my dad shouts.
"Why must you torture me everyday?" I ask him, soaking wet.
"Because it's fun." he says while shrugging his shoulders.
"Not for me."
"I never said it was fun for you" he tells me, "Now hurry up and get ready, your mom wants to 'talk'."
"Oh great." I mutter as dad walks out the door. When my mom wants to 'talk' it usually means that she is going to yells at me then give me the number of weeks that I would be grounded for. Fun, I know.
I brush my teeth, do my hair, and put my clothes on and go downstairs to the kitchen.
"Three weeks." I hear right as I enter the kitchen.
"What?" Where's the screaming and yelling?
"You are grounded for three weeks. No going out, no friends over, no phone unless during school." My mom tells me.
"That's great and all but, are you okay?" I ask her.
"What do you mean?" She asks flipping a pancake.
"You're not yelling. Are you okay?"
"What do you want me to do Lydon? You have been sneaking out for who knows how long! Something could've happened to you! Do you not understand that? Not only have you been sneaking out but you have been sneaking out with a boy! He could have taken advantage of you! Have you ever thought of that? When I woke up and I saw that you weren't in your room or anywhere else in the house I was terrified that something had happened to you!" She said, her voice getting louder and louder by the second.
"Nothing happened to me! Nothing has and nothing will ever happen to me! And that comment about Hunter? He would never do that!" I say angrily, How could she think of Hunter like that? I mean, it's Hunter. He cried when we watched 5 Feet Apart in the back of his uncles pick-up on night. Hell, he even cried when we watched Big Hero 6. He would never take advantage of anyone.
"He could've though Lydon! That's how boys are these days! You don't think I don't know how teenagers act nowadays? I do! And I really thought you were smarter than them but I guess not! We raised you better than this god dammit!" She is screaming on top of her lungs now.
"Hey, anyone hungry? I'm hungry! Are you guys hungry? Let's go back to cooking the pancakes! Then, guess what we should do next? Eat the pancakes!" my dad butts in with a smile and energetic words.
"I'm not hungry," I tell him. "I'm gonna get going, don't wanna miss the bus." I say heading out the door.
