A/N: Hey y'all! I know... yet another story. But hey... I have updated in the last few weeks okay? Anywhoo, tell me what y'all think! Enjoy!

Disclaimers: I own nothing! I know nothing!

The pictures on the wall shook as Catherine slammed the door.

"Lindsey Elizabeth Willows! Get down here now!" Catherine yelled angrily as she heard Lindsey coming down the stairs.

"What do you want?" Lindsey huffed crossing her arms.

"Drop the attitude! Your principal told me you were cutting English class today." Catherine started as Lindsey rolled her eyes.

"So what. It's a stupid class anyway. What do I need to read about Shakespeare for anyway?"

"You need everything they teach you. You may not understand it, and what you read doesn't have to be interesting, it just helps you to understand things."

"Whatever. I don't care."

"Don't whatever me. I do care." Catherine said sitting on the couch. Lindsey turned to walk away. "Sit down. We're not done yet."

"Mom, it's no big deal. Can you just drop it?"

"I said sit! Now!" Lindsey huffed as she plopped down on the couch. Catherine stared at her daughter. Lindsey just looked away. Catherine's eyes began to tear. "What happened to you Linds? We used to be able to talk about everything. When you had a problem you used to tell me." Catherine sniffled and Lindsey turned around. "Please baby, tell me what's going on."

"Nothing. There's nothing wrong."

"Linds, you're fighting, skipping school, hitch hiking... and you are trying to tell me there is nothing wrong?"

"Yup." She said simply.

"There has to be something."

"You wanna know what my problem is?"

"Yes."

"It's you. I hate you in my business all the time. Pretending to care. You don't have to pretend okay? Don't even bother. Just leave me alone!" Lindsey screamed running to her room.

"Lindsey!" Catherine ran after Lindsey. "Linds, come on!" She banged on Lindsey's door.

"I said leave me alone!" Lindsey yelled from her room.

Catherine leaned her back against the door and slowly sank to the floor. She brought her knees up to her chest and began to cry. From inside the room, Lindsey could hear Catherine crying. She rolled her eyes and turned her stereo on, full blast. Catherine got up and went into her room to get ready for the next shift. Lindsey came down for dinner and all was silent. Catherine brought their plates to the table, and Lindsey moved to the other side of the table away from her mother. Catherine was the first to break the silence.

"Linds, can we talk about what happened earlier?"

"I don't want to talk to you anymore. There is nothing to talk about. Just leave me alone."

"Linds- Never mind." Catherine said taking a drink of her milk. "I'm bringing you into work with me tonight."

"What? No way! I don't want to go there. It is so boring."

"What are you talking about? You love hanging out with Greg, and don't pretend you don't." Catherine said trying not to smile. She looked at Lindsey, she was trying not to smile either, she scrunched her face to keep her angry look.

"Fine. Whatever." Lindsey said getting up to put her plate in the sink. She retreated to her room and put her stereo on again. Catherine just sat in the silence. Wondering what she could do to earn Lindsey's trust and confidence again. She decided to finish getting ready for work so she wouldn't be late.

A/N: So? Here in good old Connecticut, we have a great country station, they have a thing called 'Make It or Break It' it for new songs. So... make it or break it? Meaning should I go on or should I remove it? LOL. Plz r&r.
