Neverland Ranch

Junior's POV

I groaned out loud as I threw the ball against the wall for the millionth time. I am sooooo bored. Ever since Dad found out about the joint, I've been exiled to my room. No tv, no phone, and no amusement park. It's like a living hell. What's the point of living at Neverland if you can't even ride the rides?

But I understand why my Dad is so mad. I get it, weed is an illegal drug and it's not for children blah blah blah... But can you blame me? Anyone who has to deal with all of the things I'm going through would want to light up too, just to escape from it all.

I bounced the ball against the wall again and caught it. This is all I've been doing for the past three days. At least 20 times a day my dad comes in and tells me to knock it off. Which he will probably do again in about 3, 2, 1...

"Junior, knock it off! I'm tired of telling you that!" He shouted, peeking his head in to the door.

I sighed and caught the ball, sitting it on the bed next to me. "Dad, I'm bored..." I complained.

"Well maybe you should've thought about that before you went sneaking around."

"How long are you going to hold that against me? I already said I'm sorry and that I know it was wrong. You keep bringing it up to make me feel bad and it's really not helping anything."

Even though he was probably mad that I talked back, I could tell that he understood my point. He opened the door fully and stepped into the room, walking and sitting on the bed next to me. "I don't hold it against you. I'm sorry if I was making you feel bad. I just really want you to learn a lesson. I don't want to just preach to you all of the time. I want you to truly understand why what you did was wrong, besides the fact that you'll get in trouble for it."

"Well to learn the lesson I think I'll need to be allowed outside of my room." I suggested.

He smirked and shook his head. "Nice try. But you are allowed outside of your room for today only."

I perked up. "Really?"

"Yeah, your mother is coming to get you. She wants to talk to you."

I rolled my eyes as my excitement washed away. "Do I have to?"

He nodded. "And I want you to tell her the truth this time. She needs to hear it from you."

"She won't care. She won't believe me."

"Yes she will. I promise you she will. Just be honest with her. Your mother loves you very much and if you open up to her she'll understand..."

"Fine, I'll talk to her another day-"

"You will talk to her today. She'll be here soon so get ready."

"Daaaadddd..."

"Stop it." He ordered. "Acting like a baby... Tell your mom to get you some diapers while your out."

I scoffed. "Very funny..."

He gasped and held his hand to his heart. "Are you implying that I'm not funny?"

"Take it how you want..."

He raised an eyebrow. "Oh really? Well you can take this!" He pushed me over on the bed and pinned me in a chokehold.

I laughed and flailed my arms. "Get off of me, old man!" I shouted as I wriggled out of his grasp.

"I'll show you an old man..." He said as he pressed his weight onto my chest, squeezing the air out of me.
