Chapter 4: Trouble
Note: Sorry it's taken me so long to update I was suffering from writers block so if I run out of ideas I'll jost post what I have and let everyone tell me what they want to see.
Morning came, and Anna didn't get up early and go home as she had planned. Her father walked into her room knowing she was probably mad at him for ignoring her, as well as spoiling she, and Evelyn's fun, so he decided to take a day off and spend it with her.
As Rick walked into her room he found the window open, and saw that she wasn't in her bed. It didn't take long for it to dawn on him where she had gone.
Rick went back to he and Evy's room trying not to wake her, but failed. Evelyn sat up and stretched noting her husband looking like he didn't know what to say or think.
"Rick, what's wrong?" Evelyn asked her husband while pulling on her robe. Rick turned around and gathered her into his arms.
"I think our daughter decided to spend the night with a certain boy she happens to love." Rick said feeling her sigh.
"She told you she loved him?" Evelyn questioned. She couldn't believe their twelve year old was in love. There were times, she had to admit she thought she was in love, but it wasn't until she found Rick that she truly found what love really was.
"No, I've heard her tell him and Alex before. It's hard to believe how close she is to Alex. I think it's good he's comming back this afternoon." Rick said while moving to finish getting ready.
"Rick, don't be too hard on Anna. You really can't blame her after last night." Evelyn walked over to Rick giving him a good bye kiss before he left.

As Rick was driving to Derek's he tried to think of what he would say, then gave up, deciding he would just say what came to his mind right when he saw her. Big mistake.
As Rick pulled up the driveway he noticed Derek's window open just like Anna's had been, and he figured the door would be open too.
As Rick walked to the front entry of the house, anger and understanding built up inside of him. He really didn't know what to say to Anna.
Finally, Rick got to the door, and knocked. It didn't take long for Derek's mother, Emily, to answer.
"Yes?" she asked wondering what Rick was doing at her house at this hour.
"I think my daughter might be here." Rick said walking in, and up the stairs. He heard Emily protest, but didn't really know what she said because he wasn't listening.
Rick soon found Derek's room. Sure enough there was his daughter in bed with Derek, with Derek's arm around her waist. Right when Rick saw that, he knew exactly what he would do.
"Kirianna O'Connell, what the hell do you think you are doing?!?!" Rick asked, and yelled loud enough to wake every dead person in all of England.
As soon as Anna, and Derek for that matter, heard his voice they knew they were in deep shit. They both sat up looking at him, as he came over to Anna, and threw her over his shoulder saying "You Miss are grounded until further notice."
Anna looked over her father's shoulder and waved good-bye to Derek not even daring to breath a word.
Rick rushed down the stairs, and pushed past Derek's parents before anything else could be said.

Back at the manor Evy had just gotten off the phone with Alex, when Rick rushed in with a tear-stained Anna.
"You know what she did Evy?" Rick didn't give her a chance to answer before continuing. "She slept in the same bed as Derek, and let him sleep with his arm over her waist." Rick yelled making Anna cry harder.
"Rick, be easy on her, nothing happened and we did kind of neglect her last night."
"Be easy on her? She's going to be grounded until she's forty is that easy enough for you?" Rick questioned her.
Seeing as her mum was going to take her side, Anna walked over to stand next to her. In return, Evelyn put her arm around her shoulders and gently squeezed her.
"Rick, lay off a little. Please for me. She didn't do anything that wrong." Evelyn said soothingly.
While her parents debated, Anna went into the parlor until she heard the door open.....
