"Valerie! If you don't stop acting like a depressed teenager, God so help me, I will slap you!" Val's mother shouted down at her crying daughter.

"It's your fault that I'm crying!" Val shouted back at her mother. Val had never raised her voice at her mother, so this should be interesting.

"How dare you raise your voice at me! I'm just protecting you from that pervert!" Val's mother said while taking large steps towards her daughter.

Val's mother raised her hand and slapped Val fair across the face. There was no mercy in her face, just pure anger.

Val screamed in pain whilst stepping back away from her mother. Her mother just stared her down with livid eyes and Val saw that as her cue.

She grabbed her phone and bag and ran out the door.

She knew exactly where she was going and knew exactly what she was going to do.

This would be her way of admitting her admiration for Sam Bettley.
