Evan (P.O.V.)

"Dianne, let's schedule the meeting with Mr. Cruz for next Wed-"

SMASH!

Dad stood up with widened eyes.

"Evan, what the he-"

Before he could finish the sentence, I picked up the second plate he was eating from and shattered it into pieces.

SMASH!

"EVAN!" He yelled. "HOW DARE Y-"

"DON'T SHOUT!" I scowled, startling them. "DON'T YOU DARE SHOUT!"

"What insolence is this!?" Mom asked. "Is this a way to talk to your fat-"

"I am not here to talk to you, Mrs. Dianne Owens! I am here to talk to Mr. Dave Owens!"

"So now, you have even started to address your parents by their names?" She asked.

"Yes, I have! I will address both of you by your names because you people are not even worthy of being called parents!"

"Evan, how dare you talk to me like that!?" Dad growled. "Huh!? How dare you!? You're telling us that we are not worthy of being parents? What would you have been without us? You wouldn't have been in this world if it weren't for us! So shut up and learn to respect both of your parents!"

"RESPECT MY FOOT!" I yelled, picking up a vase and smashing it to the floor.

Mom gasped.

"What have you done?" Mom asked. "That was an original from Par-"

SMASH!

I took the second vase and shattered it to pieces.

"Evan, have you gone mad!?" Dad asked. "Will you break everything in the ho-"

"Yes, I will break it!" I yelled. "I will break it all! All of it! Then I will set this whole Owens Mansion on fire! I will destroy everything in this house!"

"Stop this nuisance in this instance! I will not stand here and listen to you and your crap! Stop all this before I lose my mind!"

"I'm the one who is losing my mind! And it's not just now, but a month ago! I have been losing my mind ever since I found out that my best friend is going insane! Ever since, I have discovered that his whole life is falling apart! I have been running from place to place trying to figure out what is happening to him, but every time...Every time I found something, things just got more complicated! For one whole month, I have been losing my mind! I lost my peace of mind and patience! And this is all your fault!"

"Wh...Wh...What nonsense!?"

"It's not nonsense! I know you're behind everything that has been going on with Ray! Jacqueline Wagner! Arthur Reed! Bobby!The drugs! The deed! I know you planned everything! You're the mastermind!"

"I...I...I don't know what your t-"

"STOP LYING!"

He gulped, looking away.

"Why did you do this!?" I asked angrily.

I went in front of him.

"I asked why the hell did you do this!?" I said.

"Evan, stop!" Mom exclaimed. "How can you behave like this with your father? And what are you blabbering? What deed? And whose life got ruined? Are you even in the right state of mind? Did you drink and that too during the da-"

"Just shut up!" I interrupted. "Shut your crap and stay out of this! I already told you I am not here to talk to you, so don't try interfering!"

Mom looked down.
