Randy pulled into the driveway he was glad to be home it had been a long day at work. Though his day wouldn't be over yet, Stephanie had rang him earlier about Paul getting suspended, he was angry at his Son especially when she told him he had been smoking. Randy opened the front door and went inside he headed towards the kitchen to greet Stephanie.
"Where is he?" Asked Randy
"He's upstairs"
Randy made his way upstairs he needed to get this over with, he approached Paul's bedroom he didn't even bother to knock. Paul was sitting on his bed he got up when Randy slammed the door shut.
Kurt walked through to the kitchen he went to the fridge and grabbed a carton of milk, he looked at his Mother she was chewing on her nail, the tension had been so thick since he got home from school. He daren't ask what had happened though he was sure he'd find out soon enough; the moment Randy would start shouting he'd find out exactly what had happened.
"Mom is everything ok? Asked Kurt
"Its fine" Smiled Stephanie "How was your first day at school?"
"It was good we learned about substances" Smiled Kurt
"Don't you even think about leaving" Said Randy "I want you to explain to me why you did it?"
"I…I don't know"
"Yes you do stop lying and to me, it's your first day back and your already suspended" Shouted Randy "I'm really get sick of this Paul your nearly Seventeen you should be acting like a Man"
"The Teachers have it in for me Shawn did the exact same thing" Explained Paul
"I should have known Shawn would have been involved, I don't know how many times I've told you but that boy is bad news stay away from him"
"Shawn is my friend" Shouted Paul
"No he's not if he was you wouldn't have been caught smoking, as a matter of fact you wouldn't have been smoking at all…..stay away from him I'm warning you"
"You can't tell me what to do" Spat Paul
"Yes I can because I'm your Father"
"No…..you're a lousy Dad all you do is shout at me"
"Well maybe I wouldn't have to if you'd behave yourself, Kurt doesn't act like that he actually knows how to behave" Shouted Randy
"Oh that's right I'm not perfect like Kurt excuse me for not kissing your ass"
"You need to watch your mouth young man I've had enough of this, for what you've done I'm taking your car" Shouted Randy "And you can forget going out because your grounded"
"What you can't take my car"
"Yes I can and I will you've really done it this time Paul, I'm very disappointed in you" Said Randy finally lowering his voice "And while your at home I expect you to show some respect for your Family"
"What family…..you call this a family Stephanie ruined that Seven years ago" Said Paul
"This has nothing to do with Stephanie it was between your Mother and I, it's about time you grew up and stopped putting the blame on someone else" Shouted Randy "Grow up Paul"
Randy left shutting the door behind him, he took a deep breath before going downstairs, he hated arguing with his Son but when Paul acted this way he had no other choice. Randy went through to the kitchen he was hungry, coming home from work and getting in an argument with his Son was not something he wanted to come home to. Stephanie half smiled at him he realized he'd ignored her before, it was only because he was so mad at Paul before, now he'd vented he could greet Stephanie properly.
"Hey" Said Randy giving her a soft kiss
"How is he?"
"He's just cooling down I've taken his car I think that it was for the best" Sighed Randy "It's at the school right"
"Yes"
"I'll collect it tomorrow before work"
"Will it be ok parked there overnight?" Asked Stephanie opening the cupboard
"Yes it'll be fine I'll be keeping the keys with me once I drop it off here" Said Randy
Stephanie continued making the dinner she had prepared most of it earlier; she was waiting for Randy to get home before she placed it in the oven, they where having lasagna though it looked as though only three would be eating tonight.
"He's falling behind in school, he could really do with a Tutor" Said Stephanie checking on the dinner
"A Tutor those are expensive Hun I'm sure we could find another way"
"Like what look I don't want him falling further behind, it's important he gets a good education" Explained Stephanie turning the oven off, she grabbed the oven glove and took the lasagna out of the oven.
"I know neither do I but there really expensive, we'll struggle if where paying for a Tutor"
"Just think about it please" Said Stephanie dishing out the dinner
"I will" Smiled Randy kissing her cheek
"Kurt dinner's ready" Shouted Randy
Kurt sat down at the table he was also very hungry, he had only eaten a sandwich since he got home he loved his Mother's cooking. Stephanie placed the plates on the table Randy joined Kurt at the table passing everyone a knife and folk.
"I'll get Paul" Said Stephanie making her way upstairs, the floorboards creaked as she got higher up. Stephanie stood in front of Paul's door she knocked hoping he would answer, she heard some movement she breathed a sigh of relief, she was glad he hadn't sneaked out it would only make things worse for him. Paul opened the door and looked at her, he hadn't eaten since he'd got home she knew he must be starving by now.
"Dinner's ready" Said Stephanie
Paul shut the door behind him and followed her, either he was in a better mood or he was hungry it was probably a bit of both. They headed downstairs and sat round the table, Paul looked at his Father before quickly turning away, he sat down as far away from Randy as possible. He wasn't in the mood to go round two with him. Stephanie sat down at the table as everyone began to eat, it was quiet then again it had been an eventful day, though one everyone would want to forget.
"So Kurt how was your first at school" Asked Randy smiling
"It was good we learned about substances"
"That's good so did make any new friends" Asked Randy
"I talked to a few people I'm still getting used to the school"
"Well when you make some friends you're more than welcome to invite them over, your Mother and I don't mind" Smiled Randy he glanced over at Paul he was just playing with his food, he wanted to tell him to eat properly at the table however it would only start another argument. Randy wasn't in the mood to go round two with his Son right now, after a long day he just wanted to relax and spend time with his family.
Paul took a few bites of his lasagna he knew everyone was watching him, it was Shawn's fault he got suspended. Shawn had coaxed him into skipping class and having a smoke in the boy's bathroom at the time it seemed like a good idea, however as soon as Mr. Anderson caught them he knew he'd get sent home. Paul didn't however expect to get suspended Shawn seemed to get off lightly only receiving Detention for a week. His Father was right about Shawn being bad news yet he was the only one who seemed to understand him, no one else tried or wanted to. Since his parents got divorced everyone treated him differently, things changed at school and at home, even the neighbors where different around him. Had he become such a bad person that he deserved this? His Mother never contacted him, he couldn't even ask his Father about it, he felt so lost he didn't know what to do anymore.
