I pound on the door in hopes of getting whoever it was making all this noise's attention. Instead, a woman in her late 30's to early 40's answers the door with a look of sympathy.

"I am so sorry for the ruckus. I have told him to not play his drums after 9 but he won't listen to me." My neighbor says sighing. "Feel free to give him a piece of your mind. Maybe he will listen to you." She grumbles making me laugh slightly. "I am Rosanne Michaels by the way. You must be the daughter I have been hearing so much about." Mrs. Michaels greets making me smile.

"Yes, my mother does tend to brag about me." I say with a laugh. "I'm Ava; Ava Moore." I greet back as I step into the house.

"Like I said, you are welcome to give him a piece of your mind. His room is up the stairs, last door on the right." She says smiling. As soon as she gave the word, I was up the stairs and banging on his door. It takes a few seconds but then the boy who was keeping me up opens the door.
