You and your father Dean had never argued before. You have but never over something stupid. You had got suspended from school for standing up for your friend. Dean was furious because you were a straight A student and he was pissed, because he was sure you were gonna fail all of your classes now. 

"Dad, for the last time, they were telling her to kill herself. What was I supposed to do? Let them bully her until she actually did?"

"You should have reported it to the principal or a teacher. Someone. It's her fight. Not yours."

"She would be a laughing stock Dad. What if someone told Uncle Sam to kill himself? Would you let him get told to kill himself?"

"That's differen-"

"No its not! If someone you loved was told to go drink bleach, you wouldn't fight them? You'd let them just walk away and you'd just tell a teacher?"

"Yeah. I would."

"No. You wouldn't. I know you too well. You'd beat their ass."

That was the first time you had ever seen your father burn with rage. He was pissed. You just talked back. He was gonna explode. 

"Excuse me? Don't you talk back to me young lady! Go to your room. Actually give me your phone."

You hand him your phone and storm up to your room. You were pissed. These girls told your best friend to kill herself. And you stood up for her by punching them in the face. It was the only option. The principal wouldn't do anything anyway, but make it worse. He was just acting tough. He would have beat their asses. He would have stood up for Uncle Sam. 

You hoped that he might forget about it all by tomorrow. You sure hoped so. You had never talked back and you hated the feeling. You went to bed hoping it would all blow over.
