Argument

I walked out of Tyler’s room to find my mother glaring at me.

“You have some serious explaining to do, missy.” She growled.

“Oh mom…” I began, but before I could get another word out… she slapped me hard across my face. I stared at her as tears filled my eyes.

“What was that for?!” I screamed, the tears running down my face.

“You deserved it.” She answered simply.

“For doing what exactly? Being your daughter? Or breathing maybe?” I was absolutely furious now, she had no right to hit me.

“For scaring me half to death, and then dragging me to this hospital to see some boy I’ve never met before.” My mom told me.

“Well if you waited a half second I was going to explain. Now I don’t even want to see your face.” I spat out te words at her. Just before I turned to head back to Tyler I saw the crushed look on her face. But I steeled my face and walked away.

She would have to come to her senses before I said another word to her. I walked through Tyler’s door with silent tears on my face.
