Summary: The fight from 1x07 from LJ, Lisa and Adrian's POV's. A series of short one-shots.
Stepdad (Adrian)
You flinch when you hear the words 'Fox River'. You've learned from experience that nothing that has anything to do with your wife's ex can be good news. Not even, you've realized, his son. Because LJ is more Lincoln than Lisa. So you shake your head, as if to say: 'Not now. Not ever.'
You know she's said something about you when you hear he's upset.
'Oh, God forbid.' He says it in that voice designed to piss you off.
You tell his to leave you out of it. Which he, of course, doesn't. He just makes it worse. Because that's what he does. That's in his genes. That's his father destroying everything you've tried to make of this dysfunctional family you've created.
"This is what I'm talking about." You tell her. You have told her about this. Fought with her about this. This damn attitude her son keeps giving you. Because to you, this is just a punk kid trying to get his way. Until he his eyes starts to tear up. Your anger subsides, and your rational thoughts return.
And then he puches her away. And your anger boils stronger. How dear this…this…criminal touch your wife? And before you know it your hand connects with his face and he slams to the ground. You're not nearly finished with him, either. But Lisa tells you to stop and you back off.
He cries again when she tells him to go upstairs. This, you guess, is understandable. But you don't really care. You refuse care about this insane brat that's made its way into your life. A life you'd have happily lived without him.
You hear him ask you wife if she loves you. And you know she does. Even when she slaps you across the face, you know she loves you. Because she's once again chosen you over her son and her past. And you know she'll do it again.
