"I'll meet you there Bryan," Lyss whispered into the phone.

"Yeah babe," Bryan said. "Why you whispering?"

"Parents," Lyss said. "So you have the tickets."

"Yes I do, see you there."

"Bye." Lyss said louder.

"Who ya talking to?" Mere asked.

"Oh it was just Ali," Lyss lied.

"Does she need a ride," Mere questioned.

"No," she answered quickly and angrily but when Mere looked surprised she added. "She has a ride, but there isn't enough room."

"Wait, who's going."

"Ali, Nikki, Hannah, Britt, and Ava." The truth was, she hasn't spoken to her friends since the first day of school but she hoped they would cover for her though. The only time she ever saw Ali was on the bus, and now Ali was afraid of her.

"Okay, but I can't drive you, Kelsey has dance, and Paige has softball." This got Lyss angry, she had to drive with her father.

"What!"

"Lyss, you're father is driving you or you aren't going at all." Lyss rolled her eyes and groaned. Mere gave her a look and turned to the kitchen. Lyss ran upstairs and threw on a mini jean skirt with black leggings, a black t-shirt with a large silver skull, and black slip ons with skulls on them too. She grabbed her clip in hair streaks and threw them in her purse that also contained 20 bucks. Before she left she cut her arms very slightly just to give it the satisfaction, so she would not be in a bad mood for her "date." Slipping on her arm sleeves she left her room.

"Dad, you ready to take me," she called harshly down the steps to where Derek was sitting on the couch.

"Sure," he said calmly until he saw what she was wearing. "No, you are not leaving the house like that young lady!"

"God Dad, it's just my friends!" Lyss screamed trying to control her anger.

"I don't care," Derek said.

"Dad, I am gonna be late, they are probably there already!" Lyss pleaded her eyes blazing with anger.

"You are not going out in public like that!" Derek yelled.

"You're impossible," Lyss screamed.

"What's going on," Mere said, Sophia, Hayley, and Kelsey behind her.

"She is not leaving the house like that," Derek said gesturing to his daughter's outfit. Kelsey snickered earning a glare from Lyss.

"Derek, you guys are late, it will be dark in the movies, plus her friends have seen her dress like this," Mere sighed.

Sophia and Hayley narrowed their eyes because they both knew she hasn't been speaking with them. Lyss shot them a look to keep quiet and looked back at her father.

"Let's go!" he said grudgingly. He angrily snatched his keys from the counter, glared at Mere, and stormed out the door to the car. Lyss exited equally as angry. The two drove there in silence. When they finally got to the movie theatre Lyss opened the door and tried to slam it but Derek stopped her.

"Where are your friends?" Derek said raising his eye brows.

"Inside, I was late because of you," she screamed sensing her father's mistrust and slammed the door.

"Goodbye," Derek added silently.

Lyss ran trying to avoid the rain and went inside. She avoided the ticket kiosk since Bryan had her ticket. She spotted him and ran towards him.

"BRYAN!" she said hugging him.

"Hey babe," he said hugging her back. "Let's go." They grabbed popcorn, candy, a soda, and went into the theatre. As the movie started she put her head on his shoulder and cuddled. He looked down and pulled her up. She looked into his eyes as he leaned forward. They began to kiss passionately and for that moment Lyss felt like she didn't need to cut, she didn't need to act out, everything was perfect. How long do you think that would last?

Derek drove home angrily, he got home. Meredith dropped Paige and Kelsey at their activities probably taking everyone out somewhere. He went inside and sat down on the couch with a huff. He heard a beep outside so he got up and looked out the window. There he saw Hannah, Britt, Ava, Nikki, and Ali outside looking like they were having a sleepover. He rushed outside where Izzie, and Alex were talking to the other parents.

"Girls, I thought you were at the movies?" Derek said making Izzie and Alex turn around.

"Why would we be at the movies Uncle Derek?" Ali asked him.

"Lyss said you were going with her."

"We haven't seen or talked to Lyss in like 2 weeks," Nikki told him.

"She... she sorta abandoned us," Hannah said not meeting his eyes.

"Derek what's wrong," Izzie asked.

"That girl is in so much trouble!" he screamed.

"Derek man, who do you mean?" Alex said coming up next to him.

"Alyssa! I just dropped her off at the movies where she said the girls were with her," he told them and ran off to the car. Everyone's eyes widened. He got to the movie theatre quickly. Derekstormed inside where the ticket lady stopped him.

"Ticket please," she said.

"Uh...." he stuttered. "My daughter just came in here, she is in trouble."

"Say no more, what did she look like."

"Black t-shirt with large silver skull."

"Oh, her," she said looking at Derek with a look that said 'I can't believe you let your daughter dress like that.'

"Yes. Where did she go?"

"Theatre 5, she was with some boy."

"BOY!" he screamed and ran toward the direction of the theatre. He stormed in and immediately noticed the shape of a boy and girl kissing. Squinting he automatically recognized Lyss.

"ALYSSA DANIELLE SHEPHERD!"

"Shit," she muttered breaking away from Bryan looking at him sorrowfully. "Dad what are you doing here?"

"Shhh," the people surrounding them hissed.

"You're coming with me," he screamed grabbing her wrist and pulling away. She winced as he grasped it right on her cuts.

"Bye Bryan," Lyss said desperately as Derek drug her across the theatre. Her eyes were looking around embarrassed by she was welling up in anger as her father started screaming at her again.

"Dad, not HERE! YOU'RE EMBARRASSING ME!"

"You deserve to be embarrassed!" They were getting shocked and sympathetic glances. Lyss stormed off to the car tears welling up. The entire way home Derek was screaming at her at the top of his lungs. Lyss flinched at every word as the tears started falling.

"Dad, stop!" she screamed.

"I'LL STOP WHEN I'M READY YOUNG LADY!" He looked angrily over at his daughter who was looking more scared but her eyes were wild with anger. She looked the least bit repentant making Derek even angrier. As they pulled into the driveway Lyss opened the door and slammed it. Alex and Izzie were still outside. Izzie's eyes widened at the sight of Lyss and Alex's mouth dropped open.

"STOP TREATING ME LIKE A BABY!"

"I WILL WHEN YOU STOP ACTING LIKE ONE, WE TRUSTED YOU!"

"YOU WEREN'T TRUSTING ME IN THE FIRST PLACE!"

"BECAUSE YOU NEVER GAVE US A REASON TO, LOOK HOW YOU'RE DRESSED!" Lyss mouth gaped, Alex and Izzie stood their in silence.

"YOU ARE SO UNFAIR!"

"I DON'T HAVE TO BE FAIR, I'M AM THE FATHER!"

"I HATE YOU!" She stormed inside, slamming the door. Derek looked over at Alex and Izzie, he shook his head and followed her in. Meredith had come to the door at the sound of the two of them fighting. When Lyss tried to storm past her she grabbed her by the arm.

"Lyss what happened?" she asked. Lyss didn't answer, she tried to get away from her grip but Mere kept a tight hold. "Lyss what happened?" she repeated.

"Oh, I'd like to hear her explanation," Derek screamed from behind. "Her friends were not at the movies, she was with Bryan!"

"YOU WERE WITH WHO!" Mere screamed at Lyss.

"He is my boyfriend, GOD!"

"That doesn't make it right!" Derek screamed.

"You shouldn't have lied to us Lyss," Mere said trying to calm everyone down.

"SO!" Lyss screamed.

"ALYSSA DANIELLE...."

"Don't middle name me mom, i am not a baby!"

"Again with the baby thing, IF YOU WEREN'T A BABY YOU WOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT!" Derek yelled grabbing a hold of Lyss's arm as she tried to run.

"LET GO OF ME," Lyss screamed accidentally hitting Derek.

"YOU'RE GROUNDED FOR A MONTH ALYSSA DANIELLE!" he screamed is face turning red.

"FINE I....."

"And you're gonna have more chores to do, walking Hershey, dishes, vacuuming, etc."

"FINE, I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU BOTH! YOU ARE THE WORST PARENTS EVER!"

"ALYSSA!" Derek screamed.

"I HATE YOU!" she repeated and stormed upstairs.

"Derek," Meredith said exhausted. She put her hand on his shoulder and turned to look at kids who gathered to watch the fight.

"IF YOU DIDN'T AGREE TO LET HER GO, NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE EVER HAPPENED!" he screamed in her face making her cringe.

"Derek don't blame me, it's neither of our faults."

"I TOLD YOU NOT TO LET HER GO! I SAID NO! YOU SAID YES!" His children's mouth gaped as Meredith eyes began to well up with tears.

"Derek please!" Mere cried starting to shake.

"I can't believe I am married to you," Derek hissed under his breath. Everyone gasped and Meredith's tears started to spill over.

"Derek," she whimpered.

"MEREDITH IF YOU WOULD HAVE RAISED HER BETTER......" This got her angry.

"ME YOU RAISED HER TOO!"

"SHE ALWAYS LOVED ME!"

"AND SHE DIDN'T LOVE ME!"

Upstairs Lyss was crying and listening to their conversation the blade sitting next to her.

"MEREDITH......" Derek started but stopped. He looked at her then his kids, he turned around, grabbed his keys and his coat and stormed out the door.

"Derek," Meredith cried out desperately. She started sobbing and shaking staring at the door he disappeared from.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

When Lyss is in her room crying it is because she is afraid of herself. She has destroyed her family, and is crying more because of Meredith and Derek's fight rather then her own with her parents. This is the brinking point when her pain and sadness becomes uncontollable. I am still open for ideas if anyone has any. THANKS!

Don't worry Lyss will get help eventually, but it's not from therapy well a little but what happens is kind of therapeutic. Something big happens to the family which makes her realize...... WOOPS! Giving to much away here. :) Hope you Enjoy!
