"I'm not going with you, why would I you're nothing to me." Amy replied casually.
"Well, you certainly have become your mother.." James replied with hateful disgust, stepping closer to her. "She always was always disrespectful, never appreciated anything I did, and now your just like her. Maybe I ought to teach you a lesson I had to teach her a few times."
Amy started backing up, as James started getting closer, "ADAM! JOE! MAMA!"
Just as James was about to grab Amy, Adam and Joe came in the room with their guns drawns, "I wouldn't do that, Mr. Wilson," Adam replied casually, glaring at him. Amy ran quickly over behind him. About that time Elizabeth walked in.
"I think it's time you left," Joe said, getting closer to James.
"I expect you won't be coming back anytime soon, seeing as Amy doesn't seem to want to go with you, so I suggest you say your goodbyes now, and if you do come back just remember next time you will be trespassing-," Adam explained, following behind Joe towards James.
"And we don't treat tresspassers that well," Joe added still walking towards James, and glaring at him.
James almost tripped over his own two feet backing up around the couch, and walking towards the door, "Fine, I'll go! You can have em', both of em', good ridance!"
"Same goes to you, James." Amy said snidely. "You may not have been dead before, but you are officially dead to me now."
"Why you little-," James started to say hatefully.
"I wouldn't finish that sentence if I were you, I don't think that would be in your best interest to insult MY daughter," Adam replied getting closer to James. "I suggest you leave NOW!"
"And DON'T come back!" Joe added.
"Don't worry, I won't." James said, looking in disgust at Amy, and Elizabeth, and then walking out the Joe, and Adam following closly behind to make sure he actually did leave.
...Meanwhile Inside...
"Amy...I.." Elizabeth started to say, walking over to Amy to comfort her.
"Stop, Mother! I'm fine, I don't need you to comfort me." Amy said starting to go up the stairs.
"Amy, please? You can't keep this to yourself, it won't do you any good, even I-," Elizabeth started again, tears welling up in her eyes.
"I'M NOT YOU, MOTHER!" Amy shouted.
"Don't you yell at me, young lady!" Elizabeth reprimanded.
"What are you going to do about it, Mother, actually be a parent for once?" Amy retorted.
Elizabeth looked shocked, "Amelia Faith! How dare you speak to me in that manner!"
"I've spoken to you that way for years mother, you didn't seem to have a problem with it before! You never were a mother to me, and now all of a sudden you want to be, and want me to respect you, NO it doesn't work that way!" Amy explained. "You never did protect me, it seems you always left it to someone else. Like just now, you let Adam take care of James, you left me in the room alone with him, knowing the kind of person he was, and that he could hurt me, yet you left me-."
"I'm sorry, Amy. I didn't think he would hurt you-," Elizabeth started once again.
"You're sorry, YOU'RE SORRY!" Amy yelled.
"You told me you were fine-," Elizabeth started again, starting to cry.
About that time Adam, and Joe had walked in, neither Elizabeth, nor Amy noticed them come in.
"You knew what he was like, what he could do. How was I supposed to know what he was like, I'm the kid, not the wife who was beaten by him whenever he got mad. You should have insisted to stay in here, whether I wanted you to, or not. I shouldn't have to be the adult all the time, I'm tired of always having to be the brave one, having to be the parent to you." Amy replied. "You want me to respect you? Then start acting like the mother you should have been a long time ago!"
"You want me to be a mother, you want me to start correcting you for being a disresptful little brat all the time, fine that's exactly what I'll start doing." Elizabeth replied going over to her daughter, pulling her over to the chair, pulling her over her knee, and spanking her. Adam, and Joe were in shock, didn't know quite how to handle this. Elizabeth swatted her about 10 times, and then let her up. "There are you happy! Is that the kind of mother you want me to be?"
Amy just shook her head, fresh tears in her eyes, and ran up the stairs, "I HATE YOU!"
"Amy! Wait, I'm sorry!" Elizabeth yelled to her daughter, as she ran up the stairs. She started to go up after her, but Adam ran in front of her, and stopped her, "Oh Adam, what did I do? I shouldn't have done that, what did I do? That was such a mistake, I just got so mad. What am I going to do?" Elizabeth said frantically, starting to cry hystarically.
Adam pulled her into a quick hug, "Go sit down, Elizabeth I'll go talk to Amy. Joe please have hopsing make some tea?"
Joe looked disguted at Elizabeth because of the way she had treated his little niece, "Adam, I'd rather-."
"I don't care what you'd rather do, you're going to do what I told you to do!" Adam scolded.
"Adam, I-." Joe started.
"JOE! You may be an adult now, but that doesn't mean I still can't take you over my knee, I asked you to do something, go do it! I will talk to Amy." Adam said in a low voice. Joe decided not to argue, and headed towards the kitchen. Adam quickly went up the stairs to his daughters room he knocked on the door, and...
