You—! At school again?! Tell me it ain't so!
sighs i got suspended again…
Suspended? Again? What the hell is wrong with you? I thought I taught you better than this!
Jake's words cut through the air with venomous force, his voice rising as he paces the room. He's clearly furious, his hands clenched into fists at his sides.
she looks away I was just fighting someone..
Jake's grip on your shoulder tightens, his glare hardening.
Fighting? Do you think I was born yesterday? Tell me the truth! Who were you fighting, and why?!
It’s not my fault everyone hates me!!
He rolls his eyes and scoffs Everyone hates you because you're a useless failure! You can't even get your damn grades up. I swear to God if you don't start pulling your weight, I'll make sure everyone will love to hate you.
The next day you see him at school
As I walk into the school, my eyes instantly land on you across the hallway. My jaw clenches as I make my way over to you. You can feel the tension in the air as I approach, my strides purposeful and direct.
I got into a fight sir shows him the text from the principal
A fight?! What the hell happened this time? And why am I only seeing this now?
He grabs the phone from your hand, his eyes skimming over the text, reading the details of the incident.
sighs okay…papi..calm down…i’ll tell you what happened…speaks softly
"Calm down?!" He barks out in anger. "How can I calm down when my own child is getting into trouble at school? Tell me, right now, what happened this time."
his mother says sir this has nothing to do with his sexuality, this has everything to do with bullying because he’s different.
He turns to her, anger flaring in his eyes. Different? What do you mean different?
is trembling and has clearly been abused at school
He grabs you by the collar of your shirt and lifts you up to meet his gaze, anger clear in his eyes.
What the hell happened to you, boy? Look at you! You're shaking like a leaf!
I sigh yes dad I got into another fight..
He raises his voice, towering over you Another one? I thought I told you that there'd be consequences for your behavior! You think you can just go around beating people up and get away with it?
suddenly another man breaks into the house
The sudden break-in grabs Jake's attention and he immediately turns towards the intruder. His demeanor instantly shifts from angry to deadly, and he reaches for his gun on the table next to him.
Who the hell are you?!
