Henry stayed in the holding cell for some time. His parents were able to bail him out. They waited for him to be released outside. When he had came out of the police station, his parents and sister picked him formed a circle around him and had family hug. Violet was the first person in the circle to run up to him to give him a big hug.
"Thank God, you're okay.",said Violet.
She had a smile of happiness across her face which evaporated when, all of a sudden, she grabbed and started dragging Henry by the ear.
"What were you even thinking!?",yelled Violet.
The family let their arms drop and knew it was time to be headed back into the car.
On the way back home Henry, Venessa and even their father, Charlie, during the drive back home,had to listen Violet shouting. It went from how disappointed she was at Henry getting arrested, to him being brainless. Once they had finally had gotten back home, the family got out of the car and the mood did not change. As they were walking up to the front door, Violet was trying to open the front door, shout and pull Henry's ear.
"Mom…it wasn't me.",said Henry.
"I don't care who started it! You shouldn't gotten arrested, you shouldn't be in a fight,you shouldn't be going to a party at all- if you know there is going to be chaos!",yelled Violet.
She finally got the door open.
Meanwhile in Henry and Vanessa's room they could still hear Violet shouting from downstairs as Henry was laying in bed,Vanessa came in.
"She's still shouting right?",said Vanessa
"Yes.",said Henry sadly
"Look, alright, I understand what Jonah did. To you, this was horrible. You can't fight back. You could get in trouble again." ,said Vanessa
"I know,but this went on when we were children ! Everybody looked up to him. I thought he was cool but he bullied me through years. I couldn't handle it any longer and now he is dating my best friend.",said Henry.
He looked at Vanessa sitting on the bed with him. Instinctively, she knew clearly her brother was talking about Emma.
"Henry, I know you guys were close, but, she no longer hangs out with us. You have got to accept it. Friends don't always stick together, they grow apart.",said Vanessa.
Henry let out a sigh.
The Next Day
———————
Meanwhile, at the Teavee mansion, Mike came home from a business trip and now he was headed to the kitchen to get breakfast.
"Hello?",he asked.
Veruca was already in the kitchen.
"Hey honey.",he said .
Veruca and Mike gave each other a kiss.
"How was work?",asked Veruca.
"Good. How was being at home?",asked Mike .
"Uhhh..not so great.",said Veruca
"What, why.. did Aubrey get in trouble again?",asked Mike.
"No . it's not that. It's Emma, she's still not listening to me…",sighed Veruca .
"Ooh..well, she will grow out of it eventually.",suggested Mike.
"Grow out of it!? You don't even know what is going on in the house when I'm home with the kids!! Emma is out of control,I can't get Aubrey to listen and Jose is mad at me that I'm not home enough! I tried to get a hold of you,but, you wouldn't pick up the phone!",yelled Veruca.
"Honey, I'm sorry! You can call work, THEY can get a hold of me..sometimes.", said Mike.
"That is not a excuse, Mike ! You don't even know what I am dealing with any step of the way!",yelled Veruca.
The both of them were silent when Emma came downstairs in her pajamas and went straight to the kitchen to get a bowl of fruit .
"Hello Mom.",said Emma.
"Hi,good morning.",said Veruca.
Emma didn't say anything else and went back up the stairs and into her room. Mike and Veruca took another look at each other, as they are now unsure of what to say about what they just witnessed.
