As Angela droev home in a daze, she kept thinking about what Alan said. His words ran through her head. Letdown....Shame....they pretend like they don't even have a daughter....

She felt her eyes well up again. She wondered what would happen if she went to go see her parents. Would they pretend like they didn't even know her? Did they pretend like they no longer had a daughter?

She could remember when she was their pride and joy; The quiet but pretty blonde- haired girl who could play a beautiful piano and was good at tennis. The little girl who would bring home straight As and never caused Daddy any trouble.

But that was no more. She hadn't seen her parents in three weeks, nor had she heard from them. She had to face it; she was no longer her mother's pride nor her daddy's little girl. Her own parents had disowned her. She felt even more terrible just thinking the words. Disowned....disowned.....disowned....

Her eyes welled up with more tears, and she didn't bother wiping them away. Her vision became blury as she drove through the busy streets of Tulsa. They were so filled with tears of sadness and fear that she didnt' see anything around her; not even the lightpost she was about to crash into.
