Too Much Yelling!

I drove Macy home and got back to mine.
I’ll just say that I was at Nate and Mike’s house.
I got out and walked into my house. My Mom was in the kitchen waiting for me, pissed off.
“Where have you been!” she said.
“I was at Nate and Mike’s. Sorry, I wold have called you but my cell phone was dead.”
She looked even more angry now.
“I called Nathan and Michael’s mother. you were not there.”
“Oh shit.” I said.
“WHAT DID YOU SAY !” My mother screamed.
“It slipped out!” I said, being verbally backed into a corner.
My mom raised her hand, but I ducked just in time. She looked even angrier now, but she was right on target this time. With my cheek burning. I just smiled.
“You know what?” I said. “You can hit me all you want, but I’m still moving out when I’m eighteen next month, and I’m sitll going out with Macy.”
Before my mom could respond was walking up the stairs to my room.
“Don’t even think you’ll get a warm dinner tonight!” She yelled.
“I’ll cook my own damn food!” I yelled, slamming the door hard behind me.
