Chapter 7: You Don't Care

Vinny comes out of his office after Brian to see what his problem is.

"Hey Bri, what's your problem?" Vinny asked him.

"Why would you care?" Brian snapped at him.

"Drop the attitude!" Vinny told him.

"How about I don't?" Brian asked him.

"You're pressing your luck pal!" Vinny told him.

"Oh no." Brian said to him sarcastically shaking.

"Why do you act this way all the time?" Vinny then asked him.

"It's because of you!" Brian told him.

"Me? What the hell did I ever do to make you this way?" Vinny asked him.

"Dad you never missed any of Danny or Matt's games but, you always find a way to miss my skateboard competitons." Brian said to him.

"I only missed three of those skateboard things." Vinny told him.

"You still never missed any of Danny or Matt's games. You were also there for everything that Kate and Marie did." Brian then told him.

"You think I miss your skateboard things on purpose?" Vinny asked him.

"I actually do. And those skateboard things are called competitons. You should know that by now Mr.Sport." Brian replied.

"You must be out of your mind! I would never miss one of your competitions on purspose." Vinny told him.

"Whatever dad." Brian told him as he went to his room. He slams the door.

Vinny goes upstairs and goes to Brians room. He opens the door and walks in.

"Don't you knock?" Brian asked him.

"It's my house, I don't have to knock!" Vinny told him.

"So what?" Brian asked him.

"So what? I'll tell you so what. You need to lose that attitude and think before you speak!" Vinny told him.

"I don't have time for this." Brian said to him.

"You have time now because you're grounded for two weeks." Vinny told him.

"For what?" Brian asked getting up from his bed.

"For giving me this attitude and back talking. You need to learn to pick your battles." Vinny then told him.

"This is so unfair." Brian told him.

"Life is unfair." Vinny told him.

"Your life isn't unfair. You're rich." Brian told him.

"How do you think I started my business? If my knee didn't tear against Ohio State I would of retired from the NFL a few years ago. So my life wasn't all that great for me either. I just got lucky that my business took off like it did. And I was also lucky that I ever met your mother because she was the best thing to happen to me." Vinny told him.

Brian sits back on his bed and puts on his walkmen like Vinny wasn't even in the room.

"Whatever Bri. I hope you enjoy this room because you'll be spending alot of time in it for the next two weeks. And no walkmen." Vinny said taking the walkmen off Brian's head.

"What gives?" Brian asked him.

"You're grounded remember? That means no TV, hanging out, leaving this house except for school, no listening to music and especially no skateboarding." Vinny told him as he left Brian's room. Brian slams the door behind Vinny.
