"Mom Dad we need to talk"
"Whats the problem sweetie?"
"This is hard to say. I am not going to college"
"What?!" Landon said
"Why? Sweetie"
"I am not smart"
"you are smart"
"No I am not! I am the only class I am passing right now is gym"
"Chris honey you have always done well in school is that this quarter you have been slipping. The other 3 quarters you have been fine"
"Mom I am not going"
"The hell are you"
"Landon."
"You busted your ass for the last 4 years your not giving up now!"
"I am sick and tired of you making up my mind for me. You are never home! You are off at your damn job not realizing what going on in your own house! You didn't know I needed help in school. Mom did. She helped me for my whole and she isn't gonna be around soon and that's what sucks the most. She isn't going to be at church when grandpa is reading his sermons. She isn't going to sing Justin or Faith to sleep. She isn't going to help out Ashlee with boys and stuff like that. It just gonna be you with no help what so ever"

"No I am far from done"
"That's it for now!" Landon leaves
"Chris I am supporting you if you want to go to college or not but promise me something please think about it please?"
"Ok mom I will think about it"
