<br/><strong>Stephanie in the Gazebo </strong><br/><br/>The sound of the Hummer was unmistakable ...as she lifted up and leaned forward coming off the picnic table. The frame of her father as he cut across the lawn to reach her was had to mistake as well considering the size of him. She swallowed knowing she was in big trouble here as it was all her fault every bit of it ...but she was ...her feet were moving as the tears ran down her face. She just wanted to go home. Seeing her fathers arms open up ...the girl picked up the speed cutting the distance as the girl wrapped her arms around him tightly.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Steph, come on lets get you home, are you ok?" </blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><br/>Squeezed him tight as tight as she could , the girls heart pounding fast and hard.<strong>" It's my fault ..all my fault .

Patrick was ..well ...he said he was going to make good on bending me over the back of his car so it wouldn't be a lie . But the others ..."</strong>as she was crying now ..giant crocodile tears .. her body shaking ..<strong>" Jay called them out ..he can't go up against them all ..I think David talked him out of using that gun . Its too much ..and all my fault . I just had to go to that stupid fucking dance. " </strong><br/><br/>As she looked down at the ground<strong>..." I sorry Daddy ...I should of come to you ..about it ..but ..I didn't think ..well ...I mean .."</strong>oh yea she was not handling anything in her life well was she. Least she was telling the truth ..no sense in lying to her father now.<strong>" I want to go home .." </strong>as she sniffled and wiped her eyes . Looking up at him now begging to come home.<strong>" I won't get in the way I promise. "</strong>
