Polly had been walking for what seemed like minutes but when she looked up at the sky she saw that it was getting really late. At first she was scared her mother would be mad but then she remember the days events and knew she was probably the last thing on her mothers mind. As she walked home she tried to remember what her life was like as a child but all she could remember was her mother telling them how important religion was.

As Polly walked into the driveway she noticed that the lights in the house were on. She laughed, If she walked in there right now she knew her mother would just ignore her and not even know she was gone. So she opened the door and walked in the house. Not expecting what would come next.

As se opened the door she felt someone hugging her tighter than she had ever been hugged before. As the person let her go she realized it was her mother. "Polly Lynn Pingleton, Where on Earth have been. You've been gone for hours. Do you know how worried I've been? Where did you go?"

"Let go of me!" said Polly as she walked away from her Mother.

"Polly Lynn Pingleton if you don't turn around this instant I'll.."

"You'll what, ground me?"

"Yes, You're grounded for entire month."

"Good!"

"Good?"

"Yeah good, I'm happy you've grounded me. Now I don't have to go to the hospital and listen to you a dad argue. I can just stay in my room and block it all out. Oh! And I've forgot to tell you Thank you."

"Why do you want to thank me?"

"I want to thank you for lying to me about why dad was in jail. Now I know who to trust and who not to." And with that Polly ran up there stairs to her room.

Even though she was gone Prudy continued to stare at where her daughter had been. She had never seen Polly this angry and she had known her longer than anyone else. Once her initial shock wore off Prudy was furious at her daughter for speaking to her like that. Until she realized all Polly had said was true. Everything about the lying and fighting was one hundred percent true.

As se sat in her chair one thought echoed in Prudy's mind 'What happened to my little girl?'
