The punch was enough to send a fourteen year old Guy off his feet and onto his back. It wasn’t the first time his father hit him, it probably wouldn’t be the last time either. Guy slammed on the ground and groaned as his father went over and kicked him, “You ungrateful piece of shit! Stealing cars? Is that what I taught you?” The police officer that dropped him off was already gone and so there was no one to stop the wrath of an Irish temper that belonged to Roland Gardner from inflicting itself upon Guy.
“It was just a joke,” Guy said. That was the wrong thing. But anything he said at that point was the wrong thing. His father stomped over in his heavy work boots and picked Guy up by his arm, twisting it uncomfortably and making Guy squirm.
“Just a joke?” he bellowed, “That’s grand theft auto and you’re lucky he didn’t throw you in jail for that!” Roland shoved Guy into a wall, grasping him by his throat and lifting him up.
“Roland!” Guy’s mother exclaimed in horror and stepped forward but Roland barked, “No, this boy needs to have the fear of God beat into him. You heard what that copper said. Stole a car, took it for a joyride, and then left it in a ditch. It’s a miracle the owner didn’t press charges, but we’re still going to have to pay out of pocket for this moron’s stupid ass joke!” Guy grasped at his father’s hand which was currently cutting off his air supply. He wasn’t that tall yet, and his father was holding him up so it wasn’t like Guy could balance himself on his tip toes.
Roland seemed to realize that his son was starting to get red in the face and let him go. Guy collapsed to the ground and his father punched him so his head knocked against the floor from the force. Guy started seeing double, but knew that tomorrow he’d have a slew of new bruises he was going to need to hide and a lot of aches and pains he needed to pretend weren’t there.
Just another day in the Gardner home.
