Holden stood there when Solomon went to hide in the closet. "What in the world?" He asked as he heard a knock on his door. He looked at the door, and before he could say come in the door opened. He sighed seeing his mother. "What mom?" He said turning away.
"Don't you use that tone with me." She said crossing her arms.
"Well mom, I will be out of your hair tomorrow and you don't have to worry about me disappointing you." Holden said looking out the window.
"You will always disappoint me Holden. You may have your father fooled but not me." She said walking close to him.
"What the hell does that mean?" He asked stepping back from her.

"I don't care if you marry a nice woman and have three beautiful kids, I will always remember you making out with a whore of a man in public." She said uncrossing her arms.
"He is not a whore mom he is a kind and gentle man. You would know that if you weren't such a close minded bitch." Holden said feeling a new sense of power.
"You cannot talk to me like that, I am your mother!" She said stomping her foot.
"I don't have a mother." Holden said turning to her.
"You little slut how dare you say that, you are so ungrateful." She said.

"How dare you call your only son a slut? Huh answer me that mom, how is it gonna feel knowing that when you die the only reason I will be at your funeral is so I can spit on your grave." He said getting very angry.
"You fucking faggot how dare you?" She said walking so she was right in front of Holden.
"How dare I? How dare you call me a faggot?" Holden asked looking down on his supposed mother.
"My house I can call you what ever I want, and do what ever I want to you." She said wiping her hand on her pants.
"It's not your house its dads." Holden said knowing that she was gonna hit him again.

"It's mine just as much as it is his." She said.
"That's a lot of..." He said as she slapped him again. "Oh god please don't come out Solomon." He thought.
"Evelin!" Holden's dad yelled standing in the doorway.
"Steve." She said whirling around quickly.
"How could you do that to him? He's our son and your treating him like an animal." He said walking into the room.
"He deserves to be treated like an animal." She said angry that Steven was defending Holden.
"If he does then so do you. Get you goddamn ass out here now! We need to talk." He said very angry.

"This isn't over Holden." His mother said walking out with a huff.
"Listen Holden I'm sorry." Steven said with a sad look on his face.
Holden nodded holding his cheek. When his door was shut he fell to the ground and pulled his knees up to his chest ready to cry.
