Fallen Angels

Toni's POV
"ANTOINETTE AMELIE VALENTINE!!!!! COME DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW OR YOU ARE GROUNDED FOR A MONTH!!!! NOW YOUNG LADY!!!!!"
"FINE! I'M COMING!" I hate my mother. I really do. I walked down the stairs, crossed my arms and stared dully at my mother, who was sitting on the couch watching tv and doing her hair.
"What do you want now mom?"
"Did you finish your chores?"
"Duh. The house is clean, isn't it?"
"Good. Get ready to go soon, we're going out tonight."
"Whoa whoa whoa. Wait. What? I can't go out tonight with you, I've got a party to go to, remember?"
"Antoinette, I told you we were going to my sister's wedding tonight and you ARE coming. No excuses." Here's the thing with me: people could say that I have a love/hate relationship with my mom but if they did, they're completely wrong. I have a more..... I-hate-you/Why-are-you-ruining-my-life relationship with my mom. When arguing to defend myself just isn't working, I have to switch my defenses to Why-are-you-ruining-my-life?
"MOM! Please, let me go to the party! I've been planning this for months now and Ashton will be heartbroken if I can't come and support her! This is so important for me and besides, your sister hates me! Why not make the world a better place by keeping the peace and letting me have fun after working so hard!!!!!" Okay, not the total truth but nothing's fair when it comes to war.
"Get ready right now. We're leaving in an hour."
"Okay, can I go to the party after the wedding?" My mom's answered by SLAMming the door. She had gotten up and walked into her room without another word. How over-dramatic.
* * * * *
I logged on to AIM after fully pampering myself for the wedding-hey, I deserve a treat or two-and prayed that Ashton would be online. The truth was, tonight, I was supposed to take Ashton out to an outside school party at a club so she could meet some boys but she was to scared to go alone and her self-esteem was a huge issue. She was overly shy around guys and didn’t know how to flirt or even talk with guys. All she knew how t do was dance but that wouldn’t help her much. So me and Donna promised to come to support her.
To bad Oly couldn't come though. Her parents hated it when she asked to go out places late, even when its a weekend AND there are parents there.
I looked for Ashton but she wasn't online and god knows that she doesn't have her cell phone on. She never does.
Instead, I found Donna online:
PurplMunkey: Hey toni. Wts up?
For some strange reason, Donna never puts vowels in words that have more than four letters. Mostly anyways. Its taken me forever to understand what she’s writing and every time I talk to her, I always think 'god what a dork.'
LoveMeKissMe: Donna, r u goin 2 the party 2nite??
PurplMunkey: wll...yah. rn't u?
LoveMeKissMe: no. my mom’s not letting me go. god i hate her so much.

I logged out and picked up my keys, my purse filled with stuff to help me survive (my ipod and cell phone), and left to go to the wedding.
