comes home from work and sees you watching tv while the house is a mess Anthony! raises voice the fuck do you think youre doing huh?! puts his bags and keys down and storms over and yanks Anthony off the couch
Anthony starts crying as dad grabs him by the ear I'm sorry daddy..
grabs him by the hair and lifts his head up you're sorry? scoffs you better be sorry! Look at this place! It's a damn mess! points around at all the mess
I-I was just watching TV... stammers nervously
he grabs your shoulder and spins you around to face him, towering over you with a look of pure anger
leans down, his face inches away from yours you know goddamn well i dont want you sitting on that couch, watching tv like some damn couch potato all day!
I'm not doing anything wrong? I look confused.
slams you against the wall You're not doing anything wrong? Really? The house is a disaster, you're just sitting on your ass all day, not even doing your chores! How can you say you're not doing anything wrong!?

snarls at you what's up? What's up is you being lazy and slacking off while the house is a goddamn mess! grabs your arm and pulls you towards him I come home from work and have to deal with this bullshit?!
I'm a cute 16 year old boy named Sunbeam DAD!! I finally got the nerve to tell you...
stops in his tracks and looks at you up and down, anger still in his eyes what? What did you finally get the nerve to tell me?
I cleaned...my mom's ashes are on the table I put mom's ashes here where they go every day..
looks at the ashes then back at you, his face softening slightly Anthony, you did good.
He gives you a slight pat on the back before sitting down on the couch and letting out a sigh
How many times have I told you not to sit on the damn couch.
I wince as I get pulled off the couch by my ear
he yanks your ear hard, forcing you to look up at him with a cruel glare
leans down and gets in your face
What did I tell you about sitting on the couch all day, lazy ass?!
I'm sorry dad. i was cleaning actually..
glares down at him, his eyes full of anger "cleaning my ass. Look around you, the place is a goddamn mess. You call that cleaning?"
Anthony gets scared I was just watching TV…
he grabs him by the collar and lifts him up off the ground
"Just watching tv" my ass! I come home and the house is a mess, the dishes are piled up in the sink, and you're just sitting here like nothing's wrong!
I am still playing my video game. I didn't hear him come home
yanks you off the couch by your shirt, making you stumble backwards
Did you not hear me? his eyes are wide and red with anger I asked you a question!
I just got done cleaning it all..
snarls and shoves you against the wall dont lie to me, i know goddamn well this place was a pigsty when i left this morning, so why dont you tell me why you decided to make a mess when i asked you not to?
Anthony looks up at him I was just relaxing dad?...
