A/N: I know this update is long overdue and people have probably stopped reading or lost interest but I finally have some ideas for this story.

Her phone didn't stop vibrating almost the whole way home. As soon as it stopped vibrating it seemed to start again.

Why is she so annoying?

All she wanted was to be treated like an adult. She would be eighteen in a few months and her mother still treated her like she was five years old. As soon as she graduated from high school she was out of here.

She picked a college several hours away from her hometown just for this reason. She couldn't wait to get away from her mother's protectiveness and constant worry.

Her mother didn't always used to be this way. She used to consider her to be really cool. Then her father died and her mother was left to raise her and her little sister on her own. Ever since then her mother wanted to know every little detail of her personal life.

Everyone knows how well that turns out when dealing with a teenager who is dying for some independence.

It wasn't long after her father's death that she could feel herself changing. Maybe it was her father's death or maybe it was her way of dealing with her mom's reaction. Or just maybe it was a combination of both.

She started hanging out with different friends and it wasn't unusual for her to stay out for hours at night or not come home on the weekends without telling her mom about her plans.

So why her phone was ringing non-stop now she couldn't figure out because really her mother should be used to this by now. When her house came into view she decided she couldn't put off the inevitable any longer.

She hadn't even shut the front door the whole way before her mother was yelling at her. "Addison Lane! Would you like to explain to me where exactly you have been for the last two hours?"

"School…you know where I've been going every day for the last 17 years" She was sure her mother caught her rolling her eyes but if the school hadn't called her then she wasn't planning on blowing her cover.

"How about the truth for once Addison? I've been worried sick."

"When aren't you worried anymore, Mom?" Addison said with a huge sigh as she attempted to remove herself quickly from the living room area and escape up to her bedroom.

"Addison, come back here right now! I was not finished talking to you."

What else could there possibly be to say. She messed up yet again and she could almost guarantee that this would not be the last time that she would either.

"What?" Addison asked with a huff while she placed her hand firmly on her hip. "Can we maybe get this over with because I sort of have plans later."

"Sorry, to tell you this Addie but unless your plans involve staying home and finally doing some school work you don't have plans."

"This is so unfair!" she started shouting forgetting the fact that her little sister was probably nearby and listening. "I'm practically an adult. I should be able to do whatever I want."

"Maybe once you start acting like an adult. I'll start treating you like one. I'll even give you one last chance to tell me where you've been and I suggest you don't lie to me this time."

Okay, so maybe the school did call her.

"Whatever they told you mom, it wasn't true. It's a complete misunderstanding and they don't have any proof at all."

Denial was always the best way to go whenever she felt she might be in trouble for something.

"So you weren't offering to make fake ID's for your friends then?"

Shit, so she did know more than she thought. Think Addie, what could she say that would make her mother happy but also keep her out of trouble?

"Okay, so I might have told a couple people that I knew where they could possibly get some." Noticing her mother's body language quickly changing for the worse she tried to spin her story into a more positive light. "But it's not like they can proof anything and I only have to miss school for one day"

"This behavior is going to end up getting you in more and more trouble. Next time it won't just be a day's suspension."

"Mom, don't think of it that way. I wasn't planning on doing it for free. They were going to pay me. Then I was going to use that money for college" she calmly stated hoping she was making the situation sound way more positive.

Her mother definitely did not look impressed by her story telling.

"Your father would not be happy with how you've been acting lately Addison"

"Well then I guess it's a good thing that he's not around to see then. Are we done here?" the sarcasm in her voice couldn't have been any more obvious if she tried.

But right now she couldn't be bothered to care about her mother's feelings.

She was totally over this conversation and all she wanted to do now if she couldn't go out was go up to her bedroom and be alone.

Maybe she would use this new, unexpected free time to do some research of her own on that business she noticed downtown.

She was going to find out what was really going on down there. Research was what she did best anyways.
