Author's Note

Yeah guys I'm so sowwy I took so long to get this out. It was my b-day and I was (still am) studying for finals and it was just crazyness. Anyhoo that's my lame excuse and…here you go! J

"C'mon, let's go." Thinking of my insane curfew at 9:30 I asked, "What time is it? How long was I out?"

"Only a couple minutes. It's 9:15"

Damn. I'm going to be late.

"I already called your dad for you. He knows everything."

WTF!!

"Wait, what!?", I very nearly screamed at him walking out of the theatre. The girl at the ticket counter quickly put her window closed sign up.

"What?" He looked surprised and a little confused at my reaction.

"You told him?! Why would you tell him?! Do you think that's okay with me? What were you thinking? How could you do this to me?! My Dad's gonna' kill me! Damn it, Justin!…" I continued like this the entire trip to my house, right up to the scarlet red front door.

"I'm so going to kill you…" I fumed as I unlocked the door.

As soon as we were in I head my dad on the stairs and I braced myself for the fury he was sure to unleash on the both of us. Justin leaned back against the door, totally calm.

"Jane Marylin Outlaw!"

Gulp. "Yes, sir?" I answered trying to look ashamed. I had no idea how I was supposed to get out of this one. I had always been Daddy's little angel and sex was just one of those things he simply expected me not to do; like drinking and doing drugs he assumed I'd never take interest in either. Well I did and now here I am, up to my eyebrows in doo doo.

And then Daddy said the strangest thing, "What time is it?"

Errr…what? "Time for you to get a watch?", I tried. Justin snorted behind me and my dad glared him into silence.

"Jane, it is 10:15. Almost an hour past your curfew!" Daddy pointed menacingly at the clock on the kitchen wall as proof.

"So?" I said. My shock making me rude. Why did he want to talk time when his daughter had just been finger-freaked in a crowded movie theatre? How did that make sense?

Unfortunately Daddy took my confusion as insolence and his fury grew.

"Jane Outlaw you are grounded!"

"For what!" I didn't get it and like an idiot I was mad that for the first time he was acting like a parent.

"For talking back to me! I don't know where you got such impudence, but I don't like it!", his eyes flickered to Justin who was still calm as the sea. "You", he snapped, "Out. Now."

Justin nodded his head once and disappeared out the door. He turned right though, I noticed, not left the way back to his house, so I knew I would see him in my room later. Good. I can murder him.

Dad was more composed with Justin gone. His shoulders relaxed and the vein at his temple settled. I suddenly realized that Justin made him nervous. Weird.

I opened my mouth to apologies, but closed it when he jerked his thumb in the direction of my room. I'd been dismissed.

As I walked the familiar, creaky hallway I had two thoughts at once. One: Crap, I don't even know how long I'm grounded for! And two: I am going to kill Justin. I am going to kill him in the face until he dies from it.
