Her breath caught and she sat there listening to Joan and wasn't sure what to say. "Um..." she started to say but she didn't know how to tell him that he could come over if he was careful. "My father will take care of the teacher" she finally said but there was more to it. She took a deep breath and exhaled "If you are really care coming here you can. Use the alleyway in the back and park in the thick bushes in the back and I'll let you in that way but make sure that NO one sees you" she told him before she lost her nerve. She wanted to see him and talk to him and feel like she was a normal teen for once.

At the sound of her voice and the invite made him smile and he kinda forgot to answer her and hung up. But he did as she had asked and went the back way- hid his moped and came to the back and knocked lightly. He was actually kinda surprised she invited him over-and that she spoke on the phone-much less picked it up. But he was happy she had-his heart was still going nuts in his chest from the adrenaline of getting around her damned father., making him feel smug, till she opened the door.

Adrian waited for a reply but she was just listening to a dead line. "Ok" she said to herself and deleted the call out of the memory in the phone and replaced it on the receiver. She went into the kitchen and picked up her bowl of cereal and then there was a knock at the back door. She almost dropped her bowl but once her heart stopped beating she set her bowl down and walked to the sliding glass door. She unlocked it and let him in, then she looked around the yard to make sure no one was watching and then she closed and locked the door also drawing the blinds. "It's nice to see you" she said and walked back into the kitchen, her limp almost gone. "Um...about school. I'm grounded for the week, that's why I haven't been there" she told him picking up her bowl again to finish her breakfast.

"Grounded? from everything? including school? You can't be grounded from that-its the law for you to go.."He said as he looked her over-he noticed her limp was almost gone, that made him smile. "Oh! sorry about hanging up on you- I kinda got excited and forgot..." He said looking at his feet. "I've missed you- I'm happy that your in once piece and alive and recovering...how long is he gone for?" He was starting to think of a way to enact one of his plans-but he needed to know the circumstances first-he decided to give i t at least a day.

She looked at him with an awkward smile and put her bowl in the dishwasher "I'm called in sick for the whole week and I have all my assignments for this week that my father turns in for me so my school work is kept up. I'm just not allowed to go into school. Why I don't know" she told him and walked into the living room, before sitting down she walked over to the windows and closed the blinds and then sat down on the nice plush couch. "My father will be gone this week but someone's suppose to check up on me from time to time. He didn't tell me when but it doesn't really matter cause I can't leave the house and you are my only friend and you are easy to hid if someone comes to check up on me" She said with a little smile. Just cause she was locked down now didn't mean that she completely forgot how to get away with things that she wasn't suppose to be doing. Adrian choose to ignore the rest of his comment like it was no bid deal cause apparently Joan hadn't giving up on the fact that her father was beating her. Not that she was trying to hid it anymore but she still wished that he would just give it a rest and forget about it. "Please sit" She told him and scooted over on the couch.

He smiled and joined her," You have a nice house...So your father won't be back all week but he has a person to check upon you? Any idea how random this one will be?" He asked as he tried to piece the information together with what plan would work best. He checked his watch, making sure it wasn't too much of a convenient time for a suspicious act of the lurker.He didn't want to get Adrien in more trouble- he'd hate that.

She shrugged her shoulders as she picked up the remote and turn the tv on. She made sure that it was at a quiet buzz in the background that way it wouldn't draw anyone's attention if they were outside "I don't really know. But that's probably the point so I'll stay on my toes. But my father did leave just today so I'm sure no one is going to show up today" She said and she laid out on the couch stretching her legs a little. Then she popped up on the couch "Oh, I'm so sorry. Where are my manners...would you like anything to drink?" She asked trying to steady her voice, it had been years since she had company and she was forgetting all the proper etiquette of guest. "How has school been for you? Get into anymore trouble" she asked in a light hearted tone.

He smiled, "You don't need to get up for just me- I'm fine thank you though, school was fine- I was actually late this morning-I woke up with food in my mouth still-but the only reason I fell asleep with food in my mouth was because I hadn't slept much the other day because I was worried about you and then Monday I didn't get to eat because I was looking for your father's truck. And It should be me getting up and getting you things- regardless if I'm a guest or not..." He said in a humored voice back. He himself stretched some out on the couch. It was a very comfy couch.

"Oh" was all she said and sat back on the couch, she wished that he wouldn't worry about her. She had even told him not to worry about her but he still was. She sighed heavily and laid her head back on the arm of the couch. She placed her arms behind her head "I told you that you didn't have to worry about me" she said softly. She wanted to make him feel better and that everything was going to be just fine. How she didn't know but she had a feeling that things would work out for her one day. In reality it only would take one good car crash or a phone call to someone that she had found a couple years ago but she could never bring herself to make the call. She looked at Joan "If you keep worrying about me like that then you are going to find yourself getting kicked out of school and that won't be a very good thing for you" she told him as she poked him with her foot while having a smile on her face.

He nudged her foot back," Says she who hardly shows to class herself.Arranged homework or not-part of school is being social so there for if I get kicked doubt of this school I'll just go to a tech. school-no problem-then I can still visit you. By the way did you want a soda?" He asked as he pulled a soda out of his back pack-well two one for him and one for her. Joan thought it would be nice since he didn't know if she was even allowed such things with the father was around.

She took the soda from him with a smile, it had been a while since she had one but she couldn't remember if it was because she didn't like soda or if her dad just stop buying it. She held the can in her hand "Well still it wouldn't be good if you got kicked out, besides that would mean that I have to deal with those people by myself" she said in a low tone "guess what..." she said in a kind of happy tone "my father took me to see my mothers grave yesterday"

Joan's smile slowly whipped from his face," Oh-by the way-I'm sorry about your mother-and I guess even your father has a heart. How did it go?" He asked as he opened his soda and took a sip. 'So I guess he was taking her out to show that she was still alive and she was antisocial by choice-nice move old man...' "Oh and dealing with them isn't too hard- you've left me with them for a few days now..." He said in a joking tone.

She thought over his words and it sounded like he already knew about her mother she shrugged it off then sat up "Hey I didn't have a choice in the matter" she snapped at him then shut her mouth looking at the floor. "Sorry" she said in a low tone, knowing that she had messed. Adrian got to her feet, she had to move, do something to keep herself from going mad. She set her soda down on the counter and started to clean up the kitchen. She had to get it spotless and then maybe she would start on her homework.

When she snapped at him-he knew he deserved it-but when she got up his head snapped up as he watched her start to clean the house. " What are you doing?" His voice a bit higher pitched form disbelief. "Your kidding-you are forced to clean all the time and now your doing it willingly?" He was giving her a crazy look, that would be like him wanting to go tot he institution-he never wanted to do that.

She stopped and looked at Joan, she wondered what he was talking about "You don't know anything" she said in a disbelieving tone and continued to clean "I'm still a teen and I still have chores to do and homework. Just cause my fathers gone doesn't mean I get to slack on those" she told him in a harsh tone and walked downstairs to grab her book bag. She returned up stairs with her homework. She sat in the dinning room and laid out her homework "You know I don't think it was that good of an idea for you to come over here" she said as she walked to the back door and opened it "I think it would be best for you to go home"
