"Fucking hell! Stephen! You're so damn retarded!" *Marty yelled, looking down on his stained suit.* "How does your pea brain manage to spill wine on my suit coat?"
*Stephen sobbed and cleaned up the wine off the ground.* "I- I'm sorry!"
"You'd better clean this shit off my suit, too! I don't care if it's hard. Get it off before the party starts."
"O-okay.." *He took Marty's suit off and started scrubbing the stains on it, trying to clean it.*
*Marty stormed off, and Stephen sat down and sobbed quietly, still scrubbing. He heard footsteps coming down stairs. He quickly wiped his tears and watched Acen emerge from the first floor, and yell Stephen's name.* "What do you want, dork?"
*Acen spoke.* "Mom says to take me to the store to get snacks before the party starts."

"Fine." *He got up from his kneeling position.* "You ready to go?"

"Yep."

"Let's go."

*They both left the house, after grabbing some cash. They walked down the street, and a van followed them slowly.* "That van.. it's following us. Hold on."
*Stephen walked slower to get a peek on who was inside. 2 masked people glared back, and Stephen snapped back to his forward-facing walking.*
"Who's in it?"

"I don't know, Acen."

*They stopped. 2 more masked people came out and captured Acen. Stephen attempted to fight them off of Acen. Stephen didn't seem to care about him much, but he didn't want to get in trouble.* "Let him go!"
*They threw Acen into the van and shut the door. The men went into the van and drove off, leaving Stephen sobbing again.*
"Fuck! How could I let that happen? I should have tried harder.."
*He went to the store, bought the snacks, and went home. When asked where Acen was, he explained what happened. Marty yelled*
"Fuck you! I'll kill you, Stephen!"
"Marty, don't!" *Katherine, Stephen's mother yelled.*
"It was obviously an accident." *He held Stephen tight.*
*Marty gave Stephen a dirty look and walked off.*
"I hope he'll be okay. I want him to come back to us."
