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

A Son's Rebel (LJ)

You stare at the screen with your mouth wide open. Your father could be in danger, and even though you didn't think you'd care this much…you do.
Your mother comes to get you, as you were supposed to go visit your grandmother, and seems to be shocked by the images on the television. She asks you if it's Fox River and you simply nod, too absorbed in your concern for you father.

You've already forgotten that she's there when she turns off the TV. You look at her, confused, and she says you should go. You tell her that your dad might be in trouble, which is obvious. And then your mother tells you what you never thought she'd say, after all that trying to get you to forgive him:

"Your father's already in trouble, there's nothing we can do about it."

Your confusion starts to mix with anger and completely disappears when she tells you not to make a scene. Because your bastard of a stepdad in uncomfortable with this. He's uncomfortable with this. And you're supposed to care.

You search for words in disbelief and when you find them they come out in anger.

"This is just my old man we're talking about. And his life." You tell them and ask that bastard specifically: "If that's alright with you?"

You know very well that this isn't something that can be finished with a few words hurled back and forth. You know this partly because this is the first time your mother tried to restrain you, for good reason.

"This is the kind of crap I have to deal with." He yells. And you feel the tears coming. Because this moron doesn't know. He doesn't have the faintest idea of what you have to go through every day.

Your mother tries to talk to you but you push her away and for the first time in your life you get hit by a person that is supposed to act like a parent.

You hit the ground painfully, but as soon as you were down you're back up again. Your mother yells at him to stop and you wait for her to continue. Instead she yells at you. Something in your head snaps and you decide that you hate him, them. And you wonder how on earth this woman that calls herself you mother can choose that bastard over you.

Once upstairs you refuse to cry. As you make an oath to toughen up. This family isn't your family anymore. They're not worth it. Rather a father in death row than a father who hits you and a mother who doesn't care.

Review, please...
