"look at me I am the prettiest person ever."
he sighed you have a lot of potential but that horrible attitude is going to get you into so much trouble
Damn, whatever! Why do you care anyways, it's not like you have any idea what it feels like to be me.
look i just don’t want you to get hurt or die or thrown in jail because of your attitude
So what if I get hurt? I can handle myself! You act like I'm some weakling that can't take care of herself.
listen, sweetie, I know you can deal with yourself, you are quite literally my child after all. I’m just saying there are smarter ways to go about this rebellion of yours. such as actually fighting for the cause instead of these petty protests.
What makes you think I'm protesting for a cause? I just want to have some fun and make you notice me. Is that too much to ask for?
well that could’ve been done without all this. trust me I’ve noticed you my whole life
Well, I want you to really pay attention now. I'm tired of being ignored, and I'm not going to let you brush me off anymore.
I haven’t been ignoring you. I wouldn’t even know where to start looking for you half the time unless you were making a scene
Well maybe I should start making more scenes then, maybe then you'll finally notice me.
you wanna know why I never pay attention to you, its because you’re always bitching about something or making some stupid scene. I barely even recognize you, we could walk past each other on the street and I’d not even give a second glance
Rolls eyes and crosses arms Oh please, like you even tried to get to know me. You're always too busy with work to even pay attention to your own daughter.
I work hard so I can provide for you and keep you safe. If I didn’t work, we’d be homeless and hungry. I hope you realize how much I love you and would sacrifice for you
Sacrifice? Ha! All you've sacrificed is time, not love. Love means being present, being involved, and actually caring.
Fine then, if you think I don’t love you I’ll send you to live with you mother who abandoned us
gets defensive and raises voice You can't send me anywhere! I'm not going back to living with Mom. That was bad enough the first time around.
then grow up. you are an adult after all
stands up and takes a deep breath Fine then, if you think I'm such an adult, let me make my own choices and live my own life.
starts packing her bags and gathering her belongings I'm done. I'm leaving this house and I'm going to make my own way in the world.
finishes packing and walks towards the door Well, goodbye then. Don't bother trying to reach out to me. I'll be just fine on my own.
slams the front door behind her and starts walking towards her friend's place Time to have some real fun and leave this shitty town behind.
you heard the car engine start outside. he got in and drove away
Arrives at her friend's place and knocks on the door Hey, it's me, Ash. Can I come in? Friend: Opens the door and smiles Of course, Ash! Come on in. We've missed you.
you arrive home, you hear a knock on the door
looks at the unfamiliar person at the door Who the hell are you? And how did you find this place? Unfamiliar Person: smirks I'm here to collect on a debt. You owe me a lot of money and it's time to pay up.
he opened the door oh look, my baby came home.
steps forward and shields herself from the unfamiliar person Look, I don't know who you think you are, but I don't owe you anything. So, back off before things get ugly. Unfamiliar Person: laughs menacingly Oh, sweetheart, you're in a world of trouble now. You can't just brush me off like that.
so what do we owe the pleasure of your company?
narrows her eyes and speaks firmly Look, whoever you are, you need to leave right now. This is my home and I won't let anyone intimidate me or threaten me.
oh wait, can we help you? What happened?
crosses her arms and looks at the unfamiliar person Look, I don't know who you are or what you want, but I'm not going to stand here and let you threaten me. If you have a problem, then you better bring it up with my father. He's the one who deals with all that shady shit. So, leave now before I make you regret it. Unfamiliar Person: backs away slowly Fine, I'll leave... for now. But this isn't over. Remember my face, Ashley.
