When Kevin Loves

Confrontations

The drive back home was very silent and trifling, I'm the kind of person who prefers silence over noise": but for once I wished someone would talk between my mum and dad.

Though I wished one of them would talk, I was also scared of when they would actually start talking, to be honest I was dreading that I might even be disowned or worse shipped off to a military school.

I could hear my mom still quietly sobbing, I knew I was the reason she was crying, getting expelled from a school at the age of ten for violence was going on to my permanent record.

My dad pulled over to the house, he along with my mother got out of the car ": I knew that we were going to talk about this once we got inside and I was really dreading said conversation.

I followed them out of the car and into the house, they moved over to the couch while I stood in front of them.

Kevin" my dad called me, judging by his I knew that he was withholding a lot of emotion inside. What that emotion was I didn't know and with the fear of not wanting to find out I quickly answered.

Kevin could you explain to me exactly what happened today at school?, my father asked.

I told my father that Mike was bullying me, he along with Tyler, Stephen, James and Brian were making me their punching bag at school.
Apparently he didn't believe me.

That's not what the principal said Kevin, my father shouted angrily : the principal said he saw you assaulting your fellow students, while dealing a lot of life threatening injuries to them.

Yeah of course that's what he saw, what about before he came in. I didn't know what came over me but I was quickly also getting angry at my father, because they keep on assuming that I'm the bad guy when I'm the victim.

Don't you dare talk back to me young man, you've caused your mother a lot of grief today, said my father.

Kevin why?, why would you do something like this " said my mom softly.

Hearing her voice riddled with sadness was heart breaking for me, but still I couldn't help but answer :
Because I was done being people's punching bag, Mom.

I could hear my mom gasp with shock and start crying again, but then again she wouldn't understand.

I was sorry for what I had done but I wasn't going to apologize.

Getting expelled was never in my plans for life, but sometimes things happen. and no matter the decision my parents comes to, I would gladly accept.

Because no matter my goals or dreams in life, I always live by one motto and that is (never do something that you would regret in life) and I sure as hell don't regret what I did.
