I was so pissed off, I wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone, but I knew from the scene in the office, but after the comment that Jason made he deserved it. I pulled into the drive way and saw Adam, Stacy, and Dad's cars sitting in the garage. Jason probably called Adam and Mrs. Newman probably called mom and she called dad and Stacey probably heard it when they called the police, since of course she was a police dispatcher. I parked a sat in the car awhile. Dad walked up to my window and knocked, it made me jump and I rolled down the window.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"I don't know yet." I whispered.

"You wanna come inside and we'll talk about this as a family?"

"Not really." I replied.

"Well, I'd like for all of us to talk about this."

"Did they tell you I slapped Jason Brown?"

"Adam told me, he's pissed that you would do such a thing, but when Mrs. Newman told Beth what he said and she relayed it to Adam he calmed down abit."

I undid my seatbelt and opened the door. as I climbed out my dad got a good look at my eye and wrapped in a huge hug. Helet go andput his arm over my shoulder and we walked into the house together. Beth was crying by the door. I wrapped her in a hug and said

"I'm fine, you've taught me to be stronger now I need you to be strong." See Beth wasn't really my mom she was my step mom, my mom died when I was three and Beth taught me everything I needed a mother to teach me.Adam, Stacey and Alan were sitting at the table in the kitchen.

"Alan, I didn't see your car, how'd you get here?" I asked my brother.

"Adam picked me up. Said there was a big family emergency." I looked at Adam who shrugged.

"Well I thought he should be here, I called Aron and Jed too, but they can't make it." He said.

"Thank God, this wouldn't be a big deal if people would stay out o fmy business." I snapped at him.

"What did I do?!" He shouted.

"If ya'll weren't so protective this would have blown over, but no you've got people watching me everywhere I go!" I yelled thinking about Mr. Brown.

"Alright that's enough. Erica sit down, Adam shut up!" Dad yelled. "Erica, honey, we're only protective because you were always the strong one, and the very inpendent one, we didn't want you to fall and be alone,...uh... what I'm trying to say is we worry because you never seemed to need us, we just want to know when you do need us, like now. You think you don't need us, but how are you going to handle this by yourself?"

"I don't know but ya'll wanna put him in jail and I can't do that to him, he's got his whole future ahead of him..."

"And so do you, what would have happened if you were seriously injured." Adam piped up.

"I don't know but that didn't happen."

"Okay, well do yo uwantto press charges?" Stacey asked.

"No. I could never do that."

"Okay well, now that the school's involved there's still going to be some legal action, I say you request he do communty service to make up for tha pain he caused." Stacey said I think she spends to much time in the police station.

"Well, I'll think about it, but now I'm really woren out, I just want to chill for a while and you guys need to get back to work. SO I guess this family meeting is ajourned." I said I went upstairs to my room and plopped down on my bed and looked at the picture of Joey and I sitting on my night stand. After five minutes of my remembering our whole time together I slammed the picture face down and rolled over and cried.
