Chapter 7

It was three AM before Desiree got back and she was a mess. People had brought silly string and confetti, the confetti stuck to the silly string and in a matter of minutes everyone was covered in little pieces of colored paper. She was also slightly drunk. She had climbed in her room and was getting ready to change when she noticed her door was open. 'Didn't I close that?' she thought. Then the door closed, answering her question, Bob and Helen were standing there, looking extremely angry.

" Hi." Desiree said before going to the closet and changing into her pajamas. She came out and ignored the fact that they were still there. She collapsed on the bed.

" You're in such big trouble young lady."

" Can we do this tomorrow? I'm tired."

" No we can not do this tomorrow!" Helen said

" Desiree, you deliberately disobeyed us." Bob said.

" Come back in a few days. I might care." Desiree replied turning over in the bed.

" You're going to listen to us, right now or else."

" Or else what? You're gonna throw me out on to the hard cold street, to fight off muggers or worse. Or are you going to 'ground' me again?"

" We could always send you to an orphanage."

" Oh, so you're going to leave me just like my parents." Desiree said

" I thought your parents were dead."

" They are! That means they're not here, that means they left me." Desiree said almost hysterically.

" Calm down. You don't want to wake up Violet, Dash, or Jack-Jack."

" Oh yeah, god forbid their sweet little heads wake up." Desiree yelled.

" Mom, dad, what's going on?" Dash and Violet were standing at the door. Violet was holding Jack-Jack. Helen sighed and turned to her kids.

" Go back to bed."

" Is Desiree in trouble?" Dash asked.

" Yes." Bob, Helen and Desiree said, but Desiree said it mockingly.

" What'd she do?" Dash asked excitedly.

" None of your business." Bob said. " Now GO TO BED!" His three children quickly ran off.

" Now as for you, you aren't to leave this house unless it's for school, no TV, no phone and no crime fighting." Helen said.

" Oh, there's a heartbreak." She said quietly to herself.

" Got it?"

" Got it." Desiree said smirking. As soon as they left she checked her cell phone messages. There was one in particular that caught her attention, one word,

" Tomorrow."
