My Daughter, The Emo (Sequal to "She's My Fucking Daughter! I Have To See Her!"), chapter 5

***Scarlet's POV***
***Saturday Night***

"Okay," Adie said. "Clarice is going to be there with you, right?"
"Yes," I answered, for the millionth time.
"Nobody else?"
"Yes, ma'am. No one else."

I hate lying to her. This is the first time and I already hate it. I feel akward enough when I'm around her.

We pulled into Clarice's driveway and I hopped out. I knocked on the door three times then rang the doorbell. That's how they know I'm at the door. "Coming!" Clarice yelled from down the hallway. Her head popped out behind the corner. "I'm going, Mom!" she yelled then ran towards the door.

"So, what's this guy's name again?" she whispered as we walked towards the car.
"Pete. He's really cute," I said.
"And what about his friend?"
"Don't worry. I'm sure he's fine."
"Scarlet!"

We laughed as we got in the car. We put Nimrod into the CD player. Adie sang most of the way. Why not?

When we got the the theater, Clarice and I were quick to say good bye and jumped out the car. "Okay," Clarice said walking up the steps. "Where do we meet Pete? Heh, that rhymes."
"Over here," I said laughing.

I led her to the front door. We had to wait a little while before I saw him. "Pete!" I yelled,"Over here!" He smiled and waved as his friend gasped. "See?" I said turning to Clarice, "He's fine."
She shrugged. "Could've been better," she said.

"What're we seeing?" Clarice asked.
"I dunno," Pete said. "How about Jeepers Creepers or something?"
"Yeah! Scary. Let's go."

***Billie's POV***

I lay on the couch, writing down a few ideas for some songs, when Adie walked in. "Well, they're there," she said, flopping down. "I just feel worried for some reason."
"Why? She's grown. She'll be fine."
"I know, it's just, well, what if something does happen?"
"It won't. There's nothing to be worried about. She's there with Clarice. Clarice is a nice girl. And Scarlet's best friend. She wouldn't let something happen to her, even if something happened, okay?"
"Fine. But I still feel worried."
"Go get some coffee or something. It'll calm you down."
"Alright."

She got up and kissed me on the forehead. "I love you," she said, and walked into the kitchen.

***Scarlet's POV***

"That was awesome!" I said, grabbing Pete's arm and jumping up and down.
"Yeah," he said. "Hey, um, would you two possibly want to go get something to eat? There's a Burger King right down the road."
"Yeah," Clarice said. "I'm starving."

Not thinking about what could happen, I climbed into the back seat next to Clarice. Freddy and Pete sat in the front. Pete gave him a weird smile as he turned on the engine. I suddenly felt a rush of fear. "You know what?" I said, trying to unbuckle my seatbelt, "I'm suddenly not hungry. C'mon Clarice."

"Oh I don't think so," Freddy said, and the doors locked.
"This isn't such a good idea anymore, Scars!" Clarice said looking at me with worried eyes.

The car sped off as we screamed.
