CHAPTER 7
Before any of them could further react, a figure of a little girl approaching caught Vince's eye. "Stephie!"
"Steph!!!! Oh thank God you're okay." Linda hugged her only daughter tightly. "Where have you been, sweetheart? You scared us!!!"
"I just took a walk around the subdivision. Shane left me here alone, as he went inside the car and slept, and he won't let me in. So I just walked outside. Did you know that the girl from the white colored house has a poodle? It's so cute, I want one!!!"
"Oh honey, don't ever do that again okay? Don't go just loitering around without telling anyone. We were so scared…"
Seeing that his little princess was back home safe, Vince decided to give Shane a piece of his mind. "You left her alone right here outside?! Are you crazy or what?! What if something happened to her and she wasn't able to come back safe or alive?! You know what I would do to you?! I would NEVER forgive you! You're the older one here!! You should be protecting and looking after your sister when we're gone. And tonight, you proved to us what an irresponsible jerk you could be!! I did not raise you to be an irresponsible person, young man!!!" Vince's face was red because of anger.
Shane couldn't believe what was happening. Again, he was being reprimanded. Again, he was being blamed. Again, nobody cared about what he thought, felt, and how he was. It was all about god damn Stephanie. Stephanie, Stephanie, Stephanie. There was only one thing on his mind that time, and with all the emotions he had inside, he butted out: "You know what, I don't care anymore. All you care and think about is Stephanie anyway. It's always Stephanie this, Stephanie that! So fine! If you wanna have an only kid with precious little Stephie alone, THEN FINE! I'M LEAVING! SHIT!!!"
With that, he turned around, walked through the gates and wandering off to he didn't know where to finally allow Vince and Linda to spend time and be with Stephanie alone. Forever?
