DADDY

CONFRONTATION

NOTE: I don't own any of these characters (it'd be cool if I did, though). They belong to the WB. They are WB characters alone. I know Fred use to be into the whole drug thing and Angel use to be a big bad boy. Give me a break. I'm trying to deal with typical teenage issues. And NEVER do drugs or liquor! I don't care how old you are. Stay away from them. They'll kill you! That is all.

Summary: When Fred and Connor get home Connor has to face Angel alone. This could mean he's in some trouble.







CHAPTER 15



Fred opened the door of the hotel. Everyone was in there. Cordelia, Gunn, Lorne, and, of course, Angel were hanging out by the front desk. Connor was busy staring down at the carpet. But everyone else was staring at him.

"So what happened?" asked Angel.

"Connor was drinking at school with some of his friends yesterday and had a fight with some Robert kid. He just has detention for next week. They let him off pretty easy," said Fred.

"Uh, could you guys leave us alone for a second?" asked Angel.

"Sure, man," said Gunn.

"Okay," replied Cordy.

"What? But I wanted to see this. I live for this kind of thing," said Lorne.

"Now, Lorne," said Cordy.

"Oh, fine. I miss everything around this place," said Lorne.

Cordelia, Gunn, Fred, and Lorne went into another room. Connor was left alone with his very, very irate father. What was going to happen to him now? He did not know. Connor jumped up and sat on the desk. Angel walked over closer to him. Connor kept his head down. He really didn't want to see Angel's eyes.

"You got anything to say?" asked Angel.

"I'm sorry," mumbled Connor.

"That's all you ever say, son. Here's a newsflash. I'm sick of hearing it." Connor remained silent. "Who is Robert?"

"Leslie's ex-boyfriend," replied Connor.

"Is that why you fought? You were jealous?"

"No. Leslie was feeling pretty bad about her dad and everything. All I was trying to do was talk to her and Rob comes up and start stuff," the boy explained.

"Oh. I guess this guy is pretty hostile," said Angel.

"Yeah," Connor nodded.

"Do you want to tell me about the drinking? Why would you do that in school or anywhere else?"

"I'm sorry I did that. I keep getting caught up."

"You know what that is don't you?"

"What?"

"It's called being a teenager. That doesn't excuse you but I understand a little."

"Thanks, Dad. I don't plan on doing anything like this anymore. Just don't spank me again."

"Believe me. I want to. But you're a little too old. I GUESS, anyway. So what do you think you deserve?"

"This lecture is pretty much all I can think of," said Connor.

"Me, too. I'm pretty stumped. You already got detention so how about some extra chores?"

"All right. Fair," said Connor.

"You can go now," said Angel.

Connor let out a small sigh of relief. He hopped off the desk and headed out.

"Oh, and Connor," said Angel. He turned back. "If I ever find out you've been drinking or doing pot again your butt is mine."

Connor flinched a little. "Point well taken, Dad." He left out of the room.
