LILY
"Liliana Amanda Sinclair." Clear, deliberate, and very scary.
Lily shivered from her feet to her head. It was very rare for her mother to call her full name. At best, it'd only be her first name and last name. But the middle name must mean that it was terrible. Maybe jail-bad?
"Mom…" squeaked the suddenly timid little girl.
"Do you have a good explanation for what you did today?!" Mom glowered, her arms poised on her waist while my Dad, Brother, and even Grandpa just looked at me.
"I went to see Big Brother myself because no one wanted to tell me the truth. And no one wanted to tell me when I can meet Big Brother." Lily looked at everyone, suddenly feeling like she was not in the wrong because she wasn't the one lying.
She's been apprehensive for a while now, and being interrogated like this pushed her over the brink. Tears started welling up, and she fought to maintain her ability to speak. "You all lied to me."
