"Who the hell is in my goddamn house?!" I hear a man's deep voice say.

Syx's dad?

"Shawn!" I hear Syx's mom say from upstairs and I can hear her feet running down the steps.

"Shawn stop! Nobody's breaking in, this is is Syx's friend." She said to him once she reached where we were as I was still ducking.

"Remember I told you that Syx was inviting a friend over for thanksgiving? We talked about it the other day, Shawn, put the gun down." She gently rubs my back letting me know that it's okay for me to stand up now.

Once I stand up I can see Syx's dad in full view. He's a muscular white man, standing about 5'9, blue eyes and a scowl that could burn a hole in your face. I don't know why I didn't think of the possibility that Syx's dad could be white. That would explain his light complexion.

His dad stares at Tanya, Syx's mother and then back at me with a disgusted look on his face.

Why the fuck is he looking at me like that? As if I'm the one who shot at him.

"After working all day, you think that I would remember about one of Syx's pathetic friends Tanya?! You should be grateful that I was ready to defend our household."

Pathetic?

As soon as I get ready to say something to him, I can hear Syx running upstairs from the theater room. Once he makes it upstairs, I can see the panic clear as day on his face.

"D-dad, I-" Syx gets cut off by his dad yelling.

"Shut the hell up! You're little thug friend almost got a bullet in his head for snooping around my house while you guys were sleeping. What kind of people are you bringing into my house Syx?!"

At this point, I can't be quiet anymore. First I'm pathetic and now I'm a thug?

I mean, I did do some thug shit the other day by carving a knife into Kane's face, but it's not like he knows that. He just took one look at me and assumed I was a thug. I'm not fucking with that.

"I'm not a thug. I'm your son's friend and I wasn't snooping, I was trying to find the bathroom. Trust me, if I was a thug and if I was snooping then you wouldn't have caught me. Since you know thugs so well then you should know that they're sneaky right?" I say to him as the whole room goes quiet and all eyes fall on me.

I see Syx in the corner of my eye shaking his head rapidly and mouthing the words "no" as if he wants me to stop talking before I make things worse.

For you, I'll stop.

"Tanya and Syx go to your rooms. . . NOW" his father says with a lot of base in his voice.

"Shawn please-" Syx's mom starts to say but she's cut off by Syx's dad, Shawn, putting his hand up.
