Abby had a feeling that she would be in trouble the moment she got home.

The tone her father had with her when she brought the phone back to her ear was one that informed her of the trouble she would be in once she arrived home. Currently, after the amazing night she had with Andy, Abby found herself looking down in shame while her mother gave her a look of utmost disappointment. Her father however, was looking out the window that overlooked the front of their home, and she could feel the anger coming from him. After a moment of silence, Ray, her father finally decided to speak.

“Do you think the Evans name is a joke, Aberdeen?”

Abby looked up with shock, “W-What! No father why would you even sugge----” Ray turned around to stare at his daughter fully, a cold fury shining in his eyes. Abby clamped her mouth shut, fisting her hands into the pretty dress she was still wearing. Ray continued his questioning:

“Then WHY did you feel the need to toss our last name around like a petulant child?!” Abby opened her mouth to speak but Ray held up his hand to stop her, “It seems I have spoiled you too much if you think that you could call me up to skip ahead in line.” “But Father---

Ray cut his daughter a glare, “I'm not finished.” Abby clamped her mouth shut once more, crossing her arms. “The Evans pride themselves on the fact that we do not need to use our name as a ticket for anything. Does subtlety have no meaning to you? I know we have raised you to have a sense of decorum and yet time and time again you have proven that what we tell you goes in one ear and out the other.” Abby hated it when her father gave her lectures, his voice was always so cold and the look of disappointment usually weighed heavy on her for days.

“You're grounded, effective as of today. No more going out, you will tell Andy and the reasoning as to why you cannot be with him for a week.” Abby’s mouth would have dropped to the floor if it was not attached to her jaw, “But father that isnt fair! What was I supposed to do?!” Ray rubbed his temples with a growl, “Wait. In. LINE Aberdeen! You would have gotten in eventually.” Abby sniffled and looked down. Sure she did something immature but would that really mean she would have to be grounded?! Ray heard her sniffle and rolled his eyes, “No tears, you brought this on yourself. Have you no idea how embarrassing it is to have a child that likes to throw around her name like it's some sort of magic word?! Not even your cousins would pull a stunt like this.”

Abby sneered, “I KNOW! They told me as well! Why is it that I have to receive multiple lectures on the same thing!?” Ray narrowed his eyes. “And TONE young lady! We would not have this discussion if you had used better judgment!” Abby looked away, eyes narrowed in anger while she once again closed her mouth. “To your room Aberdeen.”

Fine, she would accept the fact that she messed up, take her grounding and hopefully her father wouldn't be so angry or disappointed with her. She hated it when that happened.
