It didn't take long for Olivia to break the rules.

It's already eight thirty and there is still no sign of her. Heather made me dinner and now we're sitting here in the living room in silence waiting for her to get home.

Heather has already told me twice that I have to go to bed. It's already ten, and still no word from Olivia.

Finally Heather said," Okay, let's go Sarah, you have to go to bed. Let's go, now."

I got up and went to Olivia's room.

Heather said," Sarah that's not your room. You need to go to your room and go to bed, now."

I said," No, I'm waiting right here until she finally decides to come home."

She said," Sarah…ok fine. But at least lie down and go to sleep in her bed."

I said," Not until she's home."

I was still sitting in her bed at eight the next morning fighting off falling asleep. Heather had laid down and fallen asleep a little after one.

I finally picked up the phone and walked out of the room.

I called the precinct and asked for Elliot instead of Olivia.

He answered," Detective Stabler."

I asked," Were you working all night?"

He asked," Sarah? Why didn't you ask for Olivia?"

I said," Well I'm grounded so I'm not supposed to use the phone, but Olivia never called to say she'd be late so I waited up all night for her to call or come home."

Elliot said," We were on a case, but we called it quits a little after midnight. Hang on let me go check and see if she's asleep."

He came back a few minutes later and said," Hey, here."

I started to say,"No, I don't want…," but Olivia came on the phone.

She said," You are not supposed to be on the phone."

I said," and you were supposed to call. I waited up all night for you. You didn't call!"

She said," I'm sorry I was busy."

I yelled into the phone right before I hung up," and I was scared!"

Heather came in and said," You aren't allowed on the phone Sarah."

I said," I was just making sure she was still alive. Seeing as she never called me."

Heather said," It doesn't matter, you are grounded, and you are not allowed to use the telephone. Go to your room. I'll be in there to talk to you in a minute."

I stood up to her. I said," I'm not going to my room until Olivia gets home."

She said," It wasn't a question, go to your room."

I sat down on the couch and didn't move from there.

Heather said," You have until the count of three to get off that couch and into your room before you get into even more trouble. One. Two. Three."

I was still sitting on the couch. Heather grabbed my upper arm and pulled me up off the couch.

She said," I warned you. Go to your room now, and don't come out until I tell you, you can."
