Seb was pacing the floor of the living room he shared with Aaron, his bare toes curling into the carpet whenever he saw fit to stay still a moment before turning back the way he came. He held his phone to his ear, though by now he had half a mind to hang up, or throw the thing across the room. Childish though these impulses were, they would make him feel better. If only for a moment. Flushed with anger, he spoke tersely. "Well, of course she's upset. She knows you're afraid of her." His father's voice was strained. "We're not afraid --" "Yes you are," Seb snapped. "You are of me." There was silence for a few moments, and Seb felt a terrible sense of vindication. He pressed onward. "She sees how you act whenever I talk about Willowbrook -- she's probably afraid you're going to kick her out of the house --" "We never kicked you out. You left to go to that school --" Seb let out an exasperated sigh, his free hand curling into a fist. About that, his father was right -- but what choice had he really had? "Yeah, and then I come back and you treat me like an alien, so it's not like I made the worst decision, did I?" So embroiled was he in the argument -- the same argument he'd had with his father over and over -- that he didn't hear the door opening. |
