Summary: The fight from 1x07 from LJ, Lisa and Adrian's POV's. A series of short one-shots.

Mother Knows Best (Lisa)

You know something's up when you see his eyes. They're full of shock, glued to the tv screen. And even thought you think you should ignore it, for your husband's sake, you ask anyway:

"That's not Fox River is it?"

And he nods, though it seems he's not paying attention to you. Your husband stands in the hallway and you feel his awkwardness. In a split second you make the choice between your husband and your son, as you turn off the TV.
He surprises you by his sudden concern for his father. But you brush him off all the same. He stares at you, scared and hurt, and you can't stop yourself from telling him the truth. Adrian is uncomfortable with this. You realize how stupid it sounds. And you know he'll react, which he does. So he takes it all out on your husband.

This is not the first time they've fought. No, it definitely isn't.

"I left you out of it the day I met you!" Your son yells. And you try to stop it this time, you try to calm him down. But he's got both your own and his father's stubborness in him.

Your husband doesn't listen to you either and fights back. You try to take controle of the situation, even though you know it's too late now.

"You got no clue, do you?" And your once so little LJ's eyes fill with tears. You realize that you indeed have no clue. You touch him but he pushes you away, and for the first time they get physical.

You feel lost as LJ hits the ground. Your dream of a happy, stable family is shattered. Both of their eyes are filled with hatred towards each other and in the middle of your confusion you do the only thing you can think of.
You yell at him, tell him to go upstairs. He asks you a question you've asked yourself before:

"You love that man?"

And you refuse to answer him, because you're not sure. He asks you again and your heart breaks, but you're his mother and this is for his own good. When he's gone you count to ten, stare at your husband and slap him. Because that's what he deserves, and you know that.
