Grayson's P.O.V.
"Uh..well..you see-"
There really is no way to sugarcoat this is there?
"Grayson, dear. I'm waiting."
"Mom I uh-"
"I thought I raised you better than to lie to your own mother."
"I didn't li-"
"HEY! No backtalking."
"But I'm just saying-"
"Mr. Abbot."
I shut up
"First, you lie to me. Second, you make a mess of MY house. THIRD, you bring, and let me exaggerate to you, a RANDOM, NORMAL GIRL in MY PROPERTY WITHOUT LETTING ME KNOW. "
"And? What's wrong with that?"
My mother looks at me with fury in her eyes
"Have you forgotten everything I've taught you or have you had that barbarian brainwash you of any remaining knowledge you had left?"
"She's not a barbarian-"
"-I'm not finished talking! Since you need a refresher, class Grayson, is EVERYTHING. Your class determines how you're treated, how you're able to move on up in the world and most importantly YOUR IMAGE."
"Well I don't care about my image."
"Well you should! Because I had to work hard each and everyday after your-"
She pauses there
"After my what?"
Silence
"After what mom?"
"Grayson-"
I cut her off
"I don't want to hear it."
"What?"
"I said I don't. want. to hear it."
"Grayson that is no way-"
"Right, that is no way to talk to your mother after she blames YOU for her debt and COMPLAINS about YOU not working HARD ENOUGH BECAUSE NOTHING EVER PLEASES YOU DOES IT?"
She stood dumbfounded at my sudden outbreak and that about does it for me
I, now frustrated at her reaction head off to my room
"Now hold on- where do you think you're going?"
"Somewhere quiet."
"But where-"
"I don't owe you an explanation nor am I going to give you one."
"But you can't leave-"
"I can and will."
Suddenly her hand grips my wrist
She speaks harshly "I don't know what she told you but-"
"She did not say anything of such manner."
"SHE DID GRAY! SHE'S- SHE'S TURNING YOU AWAY FROM ME. YOU NEVER BACKTALKED ME AND NOW YOU THINK IT'S ACCEPTABLE TO TALK BACK- I-" She stammers
"Whoever this girl presents herself to be is wrong. She's going to use you! I know, trust me- I KNOW, HOW THESE SITUATONS GO. I NEED YOU TO JUST LISTEN FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE BECAUSE I CAN'T STAND TO WATCH MY LITTLE BOY-"
