"Good night mom and dad; I'll see you in the morning, and I'm really sorry." Tiffany said as she trudged up the stairs. It was just a couple days before Christmas, and ever since Tiffany and Megan had goten out of school for Christmas break, Megan had spent every night with her boyfriend, Derrick. "I always have to be home by 10:00 no matter what. It's not fair; I'm 15 years old, I'm not a child anymore and I think I can take care of myself. Just because Megan is seventeen she thinks she can do anything. Why are things so unfair," Tiffany thought to herself as she got ready for bed.

She didn't know what was wrong, and it seemed as if no one could even see her. In her dream, Tiffany started walking towards her mother when she suddenly felt someone shaking her.
Tiffany immediately bolted out of bed. Her dad was staring her straight in the face, and his eyes were filled with terror. "Dad, what are you doing? Do you realize what time it is?" Tiffany groggily said to him. Her father sat on Tiffany's bed and tried to explain that Megan had been in a horrible car accident.
