9: Hell of a night

"Mom?" Josh says, bursting the door open.

"Honey?" I hear her croak out and Josh's dad turns to us.

I shut the door and stand next to Josh.

"Oh look, the delinquent is home." Josh's dad slurs and I see his jaw clench.

"Mom, what's going on?" He asks, ignoring his rude comment.

"Nothing honey, just grown up stuff. It has nothing to do with you. Get some sleep okay?" She sniffles and Josh glares at his father, walking toward him.

He studies him for a moment and I see him ball his fists up.

"You're drunk." He says.

"And you're a sneak. Sorry we're not all perfect, son." His father chuckles at him.

"At least I'm not a cheater." He fires back.

"Josh." His mom says, tugging at his arm.

"Shut it, whore." His dad spits and my eyes widen.

"Don't talk to my mother like that. You have the nerve to call her that? That's rich." Josh scoffs and I hear his mom curse under her breath.

"What did you do to her?" Josh says, squinting his eyes at him.

"Gave her everything she deserves." His dad spits.

I can smell his vile breath from him.

His father then eyes me and I shift uncomfortably.

"Oh, who's this? Another slut you picked up?" He says, smirking at me.

"Shut your mouth. And you shouldn't be talking, you were cheating on mom every night." Josh spits.

"Who told you that?"

"I don't have to fucking tell you anything." He spits.

Then, chaos broke loose.

"Fucker!" His dad shouts and back hand's Joshua.

"Josh!" I shout.

"You mother fucker!" His mother screams as she comes at him.

"Crazy bitch!" He slurs, shoving her into the wall.

"Hey!" I shout and square him in the jaw.

He stumbles back and looks at me, laughing as he rubs his jaw.

"Feisty slut, I see. Son, tell me, is she like this in bed too?" He jokes.

I then see Josh charge at him and throws one hard punch, which ends up with his dad falling to the ground.

"Finally manning up." I hear his dad groan as he quickly gets back up on his feet.

"You." He spits and grabs his ex wife's arm.

I run over and bop him on the forehead and Josh kicks him in the balls.

"Touch my mother again, and my face will be the last thing you ever see." Josh mutters, shoving his lanky body against the wall.

"Son, are you threatening me?" He laughs, coughing in between.

"No, it's a promise. And don't you ever say a bad thing about Emma. Ever again. Understand?" Josh states and his dad laughs, leaning his head back.

Josh glares at him, finally letting him go.

"Mom." Josh says, helping her up.

"You should live with your mom. Two fucking sneaks in a pod." His dad spits, slamming the door on his way out.
