Dollhouse

"Jesus, Brian," Michelle hissed. "Why didn't you call me so I could pick her up?"

"Because I was pissed off," Brian muttered. "Do you know what you've done to her?"

"I would have yelled at her and grounded her," Michelle stated. "Like I always had to because you never wanted to be the bad guy so I always had to discipline her."

"And now she hates you," Brian hissed.

"Only because you were too much of a fucking pussy to discipline her for anything bad she ever did," Michelle exclaimed. She hung up her phone, not wanting to deal with her soon to be ex husband anymore.

Addy sat down in the spot in the park her uncle Jimmy had shown her ages ago. Now she came here anytime she needed to think.

Brian groaned and put his phone down, laying back down and pulling a pillow over his head. Fuck life.

When Addy finally went to her mom's place she got yelled at like she expected. The teen simply tuned her mother out, simply paying attention long enough to hear how long she was grounded for and what was getting taken away. This time around she was grounded for a month and her cell phone was to stay in her mom's room unless she was going to school. Addy sent a mass text to her friends, telling them to text her non-stop to purposely keep her mom up before she went upstairs to her room.

Michelle called Brian again, feeling that he should know their daughter was fine even if he was probably drunk at this point like he had been before.

Brian answered his phone. "What, Michelle?" he hissed.

"I figured you'd like to know your daughter finally came home," she stated. "I was also wondering if you still want her this weekend or if I should include not seeing you as a part of her punishment."

"She doesn't want to see me anyways," Brian said. "She hates me for letting you take her away."

"All that drinking must really be fucking with the two brain cells you have left if you think that," Michelle replied. "Adelaide is a daddy's girl big time and she's pretty much female you when you were a teenager only a little more smart about getting away with stuff." Michelle sighed, contemplating whether or not to say what she wanted to say next. "Has Addy let anything slip about any boys in her life because I know she talks to you about everything."

Brian frowned and sat up. "What boys?" He muttered.

"So you didn't know about them either," Michelle mumbled. She cursed under her breath and ran her hands through her hair. "Two guys dropped Adelaide off, one of them literally looked like he could be a dead ringer for Matt in high school. Anyways," she mumbled. "She got out of the car and they started practically dry humping against the car until he realized I was watching."

"What the fuck?" Brian exclaimed. "You keep her away from those assholes or I'll have to deal with them."

Michelle rolled her eyes. "I already talked her Brian but like I said she is pretty much you as a teenager. So unless you have an idea on how to keep that boy away from her that doesn't involve someone having to bail you out of jail I'm all ears."

Addy rolled her eyes as she successfully snuck past her mom. She knew she was too busy arguing with her dad on the phone to notice she slipped off until it would be too late. She climbed into Matt's car, who was the kid who looked like her dad's friend Matt. She pressed her lips to his as she heard her mom yell her name. Matt took that as his quene to speed off so he did, leaving Michelle beyond pissed off. "Well your daughter just snuck out with the kid so if you find her before I do call me because I'd rather not have to bail you out of anywhere over this." She hung up, walking back inside to grab her things before she drove off in the direction of the car that Addy was in.

Brian narrowed his eyes and got up, pulling clothes on and rushing out to his car. He started it and started driving around, keeping an eye out for this little punk he might just have to beat up.

Addy was sitting in the parking lot of Dairy Queen with her boyfriend Matt and their mutual friend Patrick. They were sharing a cigarette, laughing and smiling as they playfully argued over who was going to order their ice cream. Finally by the time the cherry on the cigarette fell out the guys had voted the brunette was getting everyone's ice cream. They gave her the money she needed and she stood in line ordering for everyone, flirting with the guy at the cash register just to annoy Matt.

Brian was starting to stress out, knowing he shouldn't have let Addy go with Michelle, but he had no choice to. He wished she would have just been able to understand that.

Addy handed Matt and Patrick their ice cream when she spotted her dad's car driving past. She cussed out loudly, grabbing Matt and pulling him to hide behind his car. She didn't want her dad to see Matt because she knew he'd flip and probably kill him.

Brian frowned when he spotted Adelaide, pulling into the parking lot and getting out. He walked over, crossing his arms over his chest. "What are you doing?" he snapped.
