Ocean Eyes

Argument

Allic and I agree to meet at 9pm at the parking lot near the beach. Then he's going to get into my car and we're going to head to his "secret cave", that is connected to the ocean. I'm so excited that I can barely contain myself. 

It's 8:45pm as I change into my blue bikini since I wore my black one piece earlier. I hope he likes it. I quickly get dressed. I throw on a blue tank top that's similar in color to my bathing suit. I throw on a different pair of blue jean shorts and make my way downstairs. 

Mom and dad are waiting in the kitchen when I come downstairs. Mom looks at me and instantly asks what I'm doing. "I'm going out mom!", I reply.  "Where are you going?", mom asks in a rude tone. 

"Swimming", I reply.  Mom and dad both have extremely shocked looks on their faces.  "You can't go swimming !"they both say at the same time.  "Why not?", I ask.  They both look like they have something to say but neither one of them opens their mouths to say anything so I do. 

Why is it that I can't go out or do anything that I want? Why is it that you two always tell me no when all I want to do is hang out with my friends. Earlier I wasn't even aloud to go swimming with my friends. You both know I'm an amazing swimmer. So why are you worried? Things could be so much worse. I could be out all day and night partying and doing drugs, but no! I literally am a good girl. I hang out with my friends and do normal teenage things. Like swimming! But no! Apparently I can't even do that! 

Mom and dad just look at me with a shocked look on their faces with their mouths gaping open. Neither one of them has anything to say. 

Since no one has any good reason as to why I shouldn't go out then I guess I'll be on my way. I am eighteen after all. I quickly grab my keys and go out the door, start my car and pull out of the driveway and head to the beach parking lot to meet Allic. 

I hate arguing with my parents but rarely ever argue with them. I think this one was justified because I literally have done nothing wrong for them to act like this towards me.  Jerry and Kim, my parents severely piss me off over things like this. I'm literally done arguing over things like this with them. I'm eighteen, I'm not a child anymore and they need to stop treat me as so. I'm my own person and I don't make bad decisions. I just wish that they would trust me more. I've never done anything for them not to trust me.
