Shower and think on it

I took my watch off and laid it on the count. I jumped in the shower and thought for a moment.

While I was in there, despite the running water and exhaust on, I heard Theresa yelling at Melanie just like usual.

I sighed. Oh yeah, she needs to be taught a lesson.

I got out and heard the door slam. I stared at my reflection in the foggy mirror, rubbed my hair, and got dressed. Last thing I put on was the watch and I put it on tight.

I walked to the front and Melanie was heated. "Damn rebellious daughter of ours!"

"What happened?"

"She strolled in here wearing a crop top with her boobs nearly jumping out of it, a skirt, and boots. I told her, hell no, she's not going anywhere dressed like that. Then she yelled at me, saying fuck you mom, I'm eighteen I can do whatever the hell I want. That's all well and good, Theresa, but you're still under our roof and still in school. If you wanna run around and party and be a slut after you graduate, get yourself a job and an apartment and do it under your own roof. Then she took your car and stormed down the neighborhood!"

I stared blankly at Melanie, slowing tensing up. "My car? She took my car!?" I walked outside and saw Melanie's car under the carport while mine was nowhere in sight, but our mailbox was knocked over. I took in a heavy breath and yanked my hair, almost pulling it out. "She took my car and knocked our damn mailbox over!"

I turned to Melanie and, without either of us saying anything, she held the keys to her vehicle. I grabbed it and jumped in, too pissed off to even think of kissing her goodbye, and I backed out the driveway and going get her.

Theresa may not be aware, but I have a government car with gps tracking built into the engine. I pulled out my cell phone and saw where exactly where she parked my car. Good, it wasn't moving. I pushed a button to lock up my car, preventing the ignition from starting till I input the pass code. I know where Theresa is and I'm going get her...

I slammed on the brakes and backed down the street, back to my house, and honked the horn. Melanie came back and jumped in the passenger seat. "I can't leave you vehicle there."
