I was walking downstairs while smoking and I saw a lot of people

I went in the living room and I saw Ginny, Austin, mom and Paul all dressed up

What's this? I asked

Mom is marrying Paul, and she casts you out of the family. Ginny said and I know she is mad about what happened with me and Abby

Abby now has a bruise under her eye

Why are you marrying Paul? I asked

Paul then stood up and walked over to me and put his hand on my shoulder

Look, Phoenix I know you don't like me but...

Paul, you're right, I don't like you, but my mom sadly doesn't, but if you don't get your hand off me, my mother will be a very early widow. I said

Probably should have mentioned he doesn't like people touching him. Mom said

Paul took his hand off

You let him smoke, he's under age. Paul said

Paul 80% of underage kids smoke, drink, and do drugs, I'm a part of that. I said

Georgia. Paul said

Birdie, put it out. Mom said

No. I said

Phoenix Georgia Miller. Mom said

I put it out on my hand and I tossed it and it fell on mom's lap

I got to go. I said and I left

Skip

I'm walking over to the Berry tree where the girls are except Ginny

Abby, can I talk to you? I asked

No. She said

Please, I'm sorry, I couldn't control what I did. I said

I don't care, just go. Abby said

Abby. I said and walked forward but Press shoved me

She said leave. He said

I looked down and balled my fist

Breathe in and out

Abby, I just want to talk. I said

Get out of here, before I kick your ass. He said

Breathe

I then punched Press and he fell on the floor

I got over him and kept hitting him

Then I got tackled off him and I saw Brody

Brody started punching me then he stopped and I saw Press get up and he kicked me in the stomach

Then he kicked my face and I passed out

Skip

I am sitting at the dining room table

Fights, what is going on with you? Mom asked

I didn't start it. I said

And let me guess they just started hitting you? Mom asked

Why don't you believe me? I asked

Because you are doing drugs, and you're sleeping around, you're drinking and I don't know you anymore. She said

I'm your son. I said

You aren't acting like my son right now. She said

Breathe in and out

Breathe
Breathe
Breathe

I slammed hands on the table

I'm not acting like your son, your son died, years ago, he died when Gil beat him every fucking night, and you tried to replace him by adding another layer of love and joy but he died over and over again when each one of your husbands beat him, like when Kenny and I fought you took his side, and that same night he went in my room and hit me over and over! I yelled and I got up and walked over to her

The only son you have left is Austin, because I fucking hate you, mom, and you have no idea how hard it is just to stop myself from hurting you, because I really want to. I said and tears came from her eyes

I put my hands on her face

Don't cry now, you didn't cry for me the last ten years, don't start now, I'm leaving, don't expect me for dinner. I said and I walked past her and I grabbed my bike keys and helmet and I walked out
