Run away Before It's Too Late

shape shifted

I sat with Isaac and his dad in his house at the table eating. I hate it here why did his dad want me here. If i wasn't scared of him i would have just said no and that would be the end of it but no im stuck here.

"So far it's an A in French and a B- in econ" Isaac answered his dad when asked about his grades

"What about chemistry" the peace of shit asked

"I'm not sure but midterms are in a few days so im sure it will go up" Isaac stop avoiding the question it will just end worse for you please.

"Whats it at now" Shit he's on him

Isaac looked down and i look at Isaac both knowing how this will end.
"Not sure."

"You just said it could go up" his dad sounded like he's getting annoyed.

"Im sure he ment generally" I tried to get the attention off of Isaac but it didn't work so well Mister Lahey ignored me and said
"You wouldn't be lying to me would you Isaac."

Isaac looks up looking a bit scared.
"No"

"Then tell me the grade"

I again try and get the attention off of him "my grade in chemistry is a C- i should probably work on fixing that."

"Did i ask you limpy" he looks at me obviously annoyed and frustrated.

I turn my attention to my plate and stopped talking. God i hope he gives up on it and moves on but that's not going to happen

"I just told you I don't know"

"Do you want to take this little conversation down stairs" he says a bit mockingly.
"No then tell me the grade"

"The semesters only half over there's plenty of time to

"ISAAC" His dad interrupted.

"It's a D"

"Alright it's a D im not angry im gonna have to find a way to punish you though. It's my responsibility as your parent. Let's start with something simple. How about you two do the dishes and clean up the kitchen"

I don't see how Isaacs grade has anything to do with me but apparently he's in a good mood so i don't want to ruin it.

"Ok"ya" me and Isaac say at the same time

"Good because I'd really like to see this place spotless" he threw a cup on the floor and it broke in little pieces. I moved my feet out of the way so don't get cut.

"I mean this entire kitchen." He smashes his hand on the table and pushes everything to the floor. It all breaks and puts more glass everywhere

I push out of my chair and back up quickly into the counter and Isaac backs up into the wall
His dad laughs at up and throws one last glass jar right next to isaacs head

" ABSOLUTELY SPOTLESS"

Isaac looks up at him and pulls a piece of glass out of his cheek

"That was your fault"

I just stand there scared out of my mind as Isaac stands up saying
"You could have blinded me"
He sounds mad why does he think that's a good idea

"Its okay it was just a scratch" im crying at this point trying to calm them both down so nothing else happens.

I notice lahey looks shocked. I look at Isaac and see the blood from his cut moving back up his face and into his cut. like it was never there suddenly it's gone.

Before i can comprehend what just happened Isaac grabs my hand and rushes out the house.

When we get outside he takes my shoulders " what the hell was that!"i yell at him
