SILAS DIDN'T KNOW how to feel. He sat in his apartment, head hung low, not daring to meet anyone's eyes. He just wanted to run away again and never be found. He wanted to disappear. He would rather fall off the face of the planet than look into the numerous eyes of disappointment.

"Can you look at us for two seconds?"

Silas doesn't respond, his jaw only clenches as he stares down at the floor. He didn't want to look at them. He never wanted to see their faces ever again. Silas couldn't even bear the thought of actually looking into their eyes, knowing the disgust in his chest will build up.

He felt a cool pair of hands take his and at the touch, he flinched. He quickly stood up. "Don't touch me."

"Silas, please."

"No, you have no reason to even be here! None of you do!" Silas shouts, his breathing picking up. "You guys aren't even my guardian's anymore—."

"That's where you're wrong." Daniel cuts him off. He gestures between himself and Amanda. "We are your guardians again. Kreese is in jail."

"What?" Silas gasps, his wide eyes moving to Robby. "Why didn't you tell me?!"

"You just got back, Silas! I didn't exactly want you to run away again." Robby defends himself. "And I was supposed to tell him, not you!"

"Yeah, well, he's my son! He needs to understand that—."

"Daniel—."

"No, what he did was incredibly stupid! He ran off from the hospital without a word. There were literal police looking for him!" Daniel exclaims, he points at Silas. "Do you even care?! Do you even care that you had us worried sick?! We thought we lost you. We thought—."

"I don't care." Silas retorts, his jaw clenching out of anger. "I don't care at all about how you guys feel. I'm not your son and quite frankly I never was. You don't care about me, don't you get it?!"

"How could you even say that?"

"Because it's true, you cared more about taking down Cobra Kai than being a father to your own son!" Silas bit the inside of his cheek, stopping tears from escaping his eyes. "You stopped being my parents when you chose to ruin my life! Everything that has happened to me has started because of you! You've destroyed the best parts of me and now I'm so fucking worthless. I've tried so hard to be the son you guys want. I've tried so hard to get some type of love from you guys, but you never saw that because you stopped caring! All you cared about is what I could do for you and the dojo."

Daniel stays silent, clutching onto Amanda's hand. "I have tried to give you the benefit of the doubt—."

"Fuck you." Silas spits out. "How's that for the benefit of the doubt? You don't give a shit. You need to stay out of my life and stay out of Anthony's life. We are better off without you guys. We don't need you and we haven't for a long time. Go back to Sam and treating her like an only child, you know, like you guys have been doing since the fucking beginning of time."

"You don't know what you're—."

"Get out." Silas interrupts Amanda.

"We just want to fix everything—."

"There's nothing to fix. You made your bed...your decision, now lay in it." Silas opens the door to his apartment. "I'm not going to ask again. Leave."

Daniel and Amanda share a sadden look before they glance at their son once more before leaving the home. The second they did, Silas felt himself release a shaky breath as he slams the door shut.
