The silence kept dragging on for what seemed like forever. I knew my mom
pretty well so I knew that if she was being totally silent she was thinking hard
about something.
I looked over at Brittney and saw that she was practically in tears.
“You hate us, don’t you,” I sighed rubbing the back of my neck.
“It’s not that,” my mom said. I could tell that she was very close to tears herself.
“It’s just that I gave you that one rule to follow, and you broke it. I’m not mad or
disappointed, but you two are going to learn from your mistakes.” My mom was
smiling but it was not a nice smile, it was a somewhat evil one.

“I think that we’re going to go over to Kate’s house,” I told her as she left the
room. Her response to that was a thumbs up.
“She hates us,” Brittney sobbed once my mom was out of hearing range.
“She doesn’t hat us, she just needs time to think this over,” I assured her. I
wrapped my arms around her comfortingly.
“No, how could we have been so stupid? We knew that something like this was
