Always Waiting for the Next Bad News

1 [THEME MUSIC PLAYING.]
Well, of course you know Justin Foley is a drug addict? [ANI.]
Well, you need to for where we're going.
[JUSTIN.]
What? What's going on? Yeah.
You tell me.
- You went through my fucking shit? - Let's skip the righteous anger and fast forward to you explaining why you have an Oxy prescription - in the name of Bryce Walker.
- Fuck.
Okay.
Look, Clay.
- Are you using again? - No! - I don't believe you.
- I'm I'm not! Jesus, Clay, I swear.
You told me that the last time you saw Bryce was at the end of summer.
This prescription is from a month ago.
You guys stayed in contact.
He sold these to you, didn't he? You've got it all wrong.
Then explain it to me.
Where did you find the pills? At the Chatham house.
Bryce's funeral.
- Don't lie to me.
- I'm not! Dude, you You saw me.
Upstairs, in the hallway.
Remember? I told you I was looking for the bathroom.
I had just taken the Oxy from Bryce's bathroom, that's That's why I was acting so weird, but I'm telling you, it was just that once.
It was just that day.
Bryce was dead, and I was all fucked up.
And I just went to look for a place to chill, and suddenly, I was in Bryce's room and it was fucking with my head.
I just felt empty and messed up and just alone.
- So, it was just one time? - Yeah.
I fucked up.
I'm sorry.
I'm really I'm really sorry.
Just please don't tell your folks.
[ANI.]
Because life with an addict means you never know what to believe.
You're always waiting for the next bad news.
[CLAY.]
What happened? Clay, honey, sit down.
I don't want to sit down.
You've officially been named a person of interest by the Sheriff.
He held a press conference this morning.
- A press conference? - What does that mean? "A person of interest?" What the fuck is that? Character assassination is what it is.
- It's a tactic.
- It means nothing legally.
Doesn't feel like nothing.
- Feels like they're about to arrest me! - [DENNIS.]
They can't.
They don't have enough.
So they try to put public pressure on you.
They don't have the evidence to call you a suspect, but they want you scared.
- Well done, then.
- [MATT.]
Maybe it's best - if you boys stay home from school today.
- [CLAY.]
No.
No way.
We're not doing that.
- Clay - You can stay home.
No, of course not.
I've got your back.
That's what we do.
Let's get a coffee on the way and talk.
[ANI.]
And then the bad news gets worse.
And it feels like the world is closing in.
Taken? - Knock yourself out.
- [MAN.]
Yeah, I should hope not.
Coffee's supposed to do the opposite of that, right? No school today? It starts in half an hour.
Yeah.
I'm surprised you're going.
I'm sorry? After the police named you a person of interest in Bryce Walker's murder.
How does that feel? What the - Who are you? - Austin James.
I write for The Evergreen County Register.
Just want to chat about the case.
Hey, get the fuck out.
Just enjoying a cup of coffee.
All right, then we'll get the fuck out.
If you come in here again, I'll see to it that your coffee is pissed in.
- Thanks for the save.
- Yeah.
What a dick.
[ANI.]
And here's the thing.
When they made Clay a person of interest the searchlight shone on Justin, as well.
So, it was only a matter of time You need a spot? until his secrets came out.
Yeah, not from you.
Man, your boy Clay is in some shit.
Hey, Clay in shit.
He should change his name to shit.
- Dude, you are so fucking stupid.
- You feeling all right? You look kinda sick.
Did your boy find your stash? What the fuck do you know about it? I pay attention.
Kind of made me wonder what if Brycey found out you were using again, so you and Shit took him out? You know, Clay thinks you did it.
He's just desperate.
It's not like he's got anything.
I think he's got something.
I think he knows exactly why you did it.
So either two things could have happened: you did do it or maybe Clay and I did.
Maybe you're next.
[ANI.]
Clay felt every set of eyes on him, desperately searching for a way out, desperately hoping the answer wasn't Justin.
[ANI.]
Ignore the chatter.
It's pretty loud.
Well, don't talk back.
- You mean don't defend myself? - It doesn't matter what you say, it matters how you seem.
And you seem angry.
Guilty people get angry.
Maybe people who are falsely accused get more angry.
But you're still not sure which one I am, right? Oh, and your precious Bryce was doing Oxy.
What makes you think that? Because Justin stole some from his room after the funeral.
Is that what Justin told you? And you believe him? I believe it of Bryce.
I should've told him everything I knew.
But But he was right, I hadn't made my mind up yet.
[ANI.]
And your press conference worked on me.
Did Bryce ever deal Oxy? No, Bryce did not deal Oxy.
How can you be so sure? Uh, 'cause I tried to buy some from him and he flat-out refused.
Why would you need it? Sprained hamstring from lifting.
I wanted something to push through the pain, but he wouldn't give it to me.
He said that shit was too addictive.
That's oddly considerate.
Yeah, I thought so.
So, why do you want to know if Bryce dealt Oxy? Um, you know, um I'm trying to figure out who may have killed him.
- It wasn't me.
- Where does the Oxy come in? I don't know.
[TEACHER.]
Gentlemen.
Solve, please.
[ANI.]
But while everyone was looking at Clay, I was thinking about Justin.
Hey.
- I suck.
I've been totally avoiding you.
- I don't blame you.
Alex really fucked shit up for you.
Using me.
So, transitively, I fucked shit up for you.
Math.
It's not your fault.
It fucking feels like it.
All I do is mess up your life.
I'm the hypocrite, not you.
Jess, I I don't want this to be over.
I don't either.
Okay.
So, maybe we just go back on the down-low till all this settles? No.
No, I'm supposed to be living my truth, right? Well, the truth is that I love your lame ass, Justin Foley.
People are gonna talk about us.
People always talk about us.
Fuck 'em.
- [JESSICA.]
Fuck 'em.
- [JUSTIN.]
Fuck! No way.
No, if Justin were using, he would've been caught.
We were tested.
Well, he told me he only used once a few weeks ago.
Would that have been after you got tested? Maybe he got lucky and the timing worked out, I don't know.
Or maybe you knew he was using and you helped him? No.
No way.
I won't put up with that shit, okay? We play clean.
[SIGHING.]
He's been doing well, Clay.
Football's been good for him, you know it has.
He's healthy.
Yeah, I thought he was.
- I hoped - He's healthy, okay? I mean, that's the whole reason I got him to play last summer.
[JUSTIN.]
Zach, I don't need a fucking lecture, all right? [JUSTIN GROANING.]
Dude, that shit will rot your insides.
Have you seen what it does to a penny? Have you seen what I've done to my insides? So, summer school's over.
We start two days next week.
Perfect timing.
- Except I have no desire to play again.
- Dude, we need you, and you need football.
- [SIGHS.]
- I'm not letting this go, man.
Zach Dempsey always gets the yes.
Zach Dempsey has gotten the yes exactly once.
Fuck off! ["BAD DECISION" PLAYING.]
- I'm just I'm not that guy anymore.
- You're not what guy? Not the guy that needs to rediscover his competitive fire? Not the guy who needs brotherhood and fellowship in his life? Not the guy who needs to rebuild his once athletic body? [ZACH SCOFFS.]
Correct.
I'm none of those guys.
- Dude! - Dude.
- Dude! - Dude.
- Dude.
- [DOOR CLOSING.]
[CLAY.]
What the hell? Dude! Are you throwing grapes all over my bed? Well, it's the international semi-finals for the Olympic-qualifying Grape Throwing Competition.
What are you even doing here? I'm not leaving until Justin agrees to do football this year.
He thinks it'd be good for me.
I mean, it probably would be, wouldn't it? He agrees with me.
Holy shit, Clay actually agrees with me! - [JUSTIN GRUNTS.]
- Hey, stop fucking throwing grapes at my bed, okay? Hey, that's not funny! Go outside and play! Hey! What the Justin! What the fuck? - [CLAY.]
All right.
- [JUSTIN.]
All right.
You're cleaning this up! - [JUSTIN.]
Uh-huh.
- [ZACH.]
Nope! [DOOR CLOSING.]
[ANI.]
Justin hoped football would help him find himself again.
Up! Get the knees up! Heels straight up under the body! Up! Up! - [BLOWING WHISTLE.]
- Down! Come on.
Don't stop.
Come on.
Push-ups.
Let's go, don't stop.
[BLOWING WHISTLE.]
Two laps, let's go.
Go! Go! Foley, come on.
Get moving, man.
You quit out here, you quit in a game.
Yeah, maybe I should just quit now and save everyone the trouble.
Yeah, you're right.
Just walk away.
You're not even worth it.
- You want me to go? - You got a reason to stay? I can't give it to you.
You gotta find that for yourself.
Okay, I'll go.
Yeah, go back to what you were doing before.
Go do some drugs.
Like white trash do.
Hey, what the fuck did you just say to me? Hey, back off and watch that language.
That's a mile.
- You can't talk to me like that.
- Yeah, you're right.
I got no idea where you come from.
Hey, where'd you score? Huh? Down on Fifth? Down by the docks? Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know you.
All I know is you go back there, you ain't getting back out again.
So, you run that track, two miles, or you just run the hell out of here.
- Don't even look back.
- How's it two miles already? You want three? Go.
Go! [ANI.]
The way back isn't ever easy.
You can't eliminate student council funding for the football team.
You have plenty of funding from the district.
You have more funding than the drama and music programs put together.
We have more guys involved than music and drama put together.
We have four teams.
I promised I would do everything I could to eradicate jock culture.
But you can't say that jock culture is this or that, there isn't just one culture.
And I mean, we're changing things around here.
Male athletic programs not only protect athletes who commit sexual assault, they foster a culture of violence and aggression that creates rapists every day.
[ZACH.]
Jess some guys do shit.
Athletes and non-athletes.
But for lots of guys, football's their only shot at a college scholarship.
Football, athletics, for some people they're a lifeline.
Like who? [JUSTIN.]
Like me.
Look, I didn't want to come back to football, but once I did, it it got me out of bed in the morning and it got me back in myself and shit that I feel like myself for the first time in a really long time.
[ZACH.]
Look, cut our funding or don't.
In the end, you're not gonna win.
Because we're not gonna give up.
He's passed every drug test, hasn't missed a practice.
He's in good shape.
I want to believe that.
So, do.
[ANI.]
Some wanted to believe the best of Justin.
[DOOR OPENING.]
Some never could.
You need to tell Jess that you're using again.
Did Clay tell you that? It's true, isn't it? - Did Clay tell you? - No, but you are.
- Using.
- What the fuck does it matter to you? You're just looking for another reason to be pissed at me? - To fuck things up between me and Jess? - Yeah and no.
I do think that you're a worthless piece of shit that doesn't deserve her, but she seems to love you for whatever reason.
But you can't deal with that? I've been dealing with it for two years now, asshole, while you've been destroying her life.
- When are you gonna fucking quit? - When are you? She deserves the truth.
[TOILET FLUSHING.]
[ANI.]
While Justin started to spiral Clay took refuge in one of the few friends he had left.
[CLAY.]
Hey.
Hey.
Uh what's up? Just checking on you.
You okay? Shouldn't I be asking you? You saw the news? Yeah.
I kinda think everyone did.
For what it's worth, you've always been interesting to me.
As a person.
[CLEARING THROAT.]
That was supposed to be a joke.
Maybe it's not a time for jokes.
Maybe I'm not good at jokes.
Um Little bit of both, but thanks for trying.
Hey, would it be stupid if I gave you some advice? About something I know about? Um No, not Not stupid.
What's up? When people stare at you and talk or they don't stare but you can tell that they want to, just just remember that you know who you are, and they don't.
Right.
Thanks, Ty.
[ANI.]
Clay knew who he was but he wasn't sure he knew who Justin was anymore.
And without Justin, it felt to him like Clay Jensen versus the world.
[STUDENTS CHATTING.]
[GIRL.]
No, thank you.
[ANI.]
And he was so tired of that feeling.
Hot off the press.
Issue 140.
Sweet.
Wait, hold on.
We finally find out if Percy forgives Astrid for leaving him for dead on Rykon 7, and all you've got is "sweet?" [NERVOUS SIGH.]
I thought maybe we could read it together.
No, it's okay.
I'll I'm just gonna I'll pick it up later.
You're still angry with me.
I was never angry with you.
Are you sure you know what anger feels like? I'm not angry.
My, uh friend Hannah, I told you about her? Not much.
Well she, uh She killed herself.
A year ago today.
Sweet Jesus, I'm I'm so sorry.
No, it's okay.
It's just, it's It's been on my mind.
I'm sure.
Do you want to talk about it? No, I don't.
Okay.
Well, would you like me to sit with you? What is this? That we're doing? [STAMMERING.]
Being friends? Okay, yeah, but you started this friendship, not me.
I didn't even want any more friends.
The ones I have are already a whole lot, so We both have complicated lives.
I thought maybe we could be something simple for each other.
And not have to talk about everything.
And what if nothing's simple? What if everything's complicated? What do we do then? I don't know, exactly.
Hey, man.
Mind if we join you? No, not at all.
This healthy school lunch thing is the worst.
- Hey, my mom could bag you a lunch.
- Are you eating three sandwiches? I'm growing.
God, I hope not.
You're like a fucking giant.
Clay, man, we should hang out more.
Yeah.
No, we totally should.
Um you know I didn't kill Bryce, right? Oh, yeah, totally.
We don't hang out with murderers, only the dispossessed.
I don't know what that word means, but right on.
[ANI.]
Clay had people who believed him.
I decided I was one of those people.
[ANI.]
Clay! Clay! - What is it? - Justin was lying to you.
Why do you say that? He's told you he stole a bottle after the funeral? Just a one-off? Yeah, a one-time relapse.
He says he found the pills in Bryce's bedroom during the wake.
He's lying.
After the police found Bryce's steroid stash at the crime scene, they swept his room clean.
Wait, what? Shit! Hey, there.
Jess, not now.
What? We're public.
Yeah, and it feels like you're making a big show out of it.
What the hell does that mean? It means that it doesn't feel like it's about us, it feels like it's about you.
It's not! What's going on with you? Just stop using me to make a fucking point! I'm not! The only point I'm making is that I love you and that's all that matters.
Okay, well, you you shouldn't love me.
You shouldn't.
What? Why not? Because I'm fucking bad for you! Hey, what are you saying right now? Talk to me.
What's going on? I cheated on you.
- What? - I said I cheated on you! I don't believe you.
Okay, well, it's true.
You should.
When? - [STAMMERING.]
When did this happen? - Homecoming night.
You tried to call me.
That's where I was.
I was with some other girl.
Who? Jess, it doesn't matter.
You just shouldn't be with me, okay? It's fucking over.
[ANI.]
The Oxy that you stole from Bryce's room, where exactly did you find it? It was, um It was in his medicine cabinet.
In the bathroom.
Lies are harder to remember than the truth, aren't they? I cleaned that bathroom out myself.
You didn't find anything.
Was he selling? And did you owe him money? Why would I kill Bryce after he saved my fucking life? There you go.
- [SETH.]
Extra hot, please.
- Yeah.
I like it when it burns.
What the fuck are you doing here? I just got out of County.
I had four long months to think about all the money you owe me.
I don't owe you shit.
Either you pay me or you work.
No, I'm not doing that.
Then pay me.
Can we not do this here? You meet me out back in five.
["CULTURE" PLAYING.]
The key to this culture Never slow down Keep running with the vultures They want to pull you back down So you can't get out No, you can't get out Is it really worth it? Running with the crowd Pretend everything's perfect And it will all work out? Now you can't slow down Now you can't slow Oh, they don't They don't want you to think They don't want to talk They don't want you They don't want you to see that The king of the culture is never free [SETH.]
Rookie fucking mistake.
Did you really think my customers wouldn't notice you skimming off the top? - Fuck, Seth.
- You little junkie shit! - Let me explain.
- No, shut up! I don't want to hear any of your bullshit excuses, Justin! I tried to give you a chance to work off your debt.
Now I just want my fucking money.
- All right.
- I want 2,000.
For what you owe and what you stole.
And I want it tomorrow.
- I can't get it to you that fast, man.
- No? Then maybe you're gonna have to ask your new rich family for help.
Or maybe I'll ask them myself.
- No, I'll do it.
I'll take care of it.
- Yeah, you will.
[POLICE SIREN.]
Fuck [POLICE RADIO CHATTER.]
[JUSTIN SIGHING.]
Thank you.
Yeah.
You okay? Yeah.
My lawyer They made it all go away.
I mean, they only had you for a misdemeanor anyway, because apparently, you smoked it all before they got there.
They didn't call your mom? They tried.
She's long gone.
Yeah, right.
You're with the Jensens now.
- The cops didn't know that.
- Right.
Right, right.
Can you Could you give me a ride home? Yeah, man.
Of course.
Hey, listen.
The deputy told my lawyer that Seth is back in town.
Are you caught up with him? - Justin - I I can handle it.
Okay? Okay.
But you know I'm here for you, right? For anything.
- Yeah, I know.
- Okay.
I'm your brother forever, no matter what.
[ANI.]
He couldn't call the Jensens.
He had no one else.
And, in a way, neither did Bryce.
[ANI.]
So, they had each other.
Who the fuck is Abercrombie? He's my friend.
- I know you from somewhere? - No, you don't.
He's got the money.
Can we just get this done with already? Okay, let's see it.
This is 5,000.
To cover Justin's debt, and to make sure that you leave him alone, for good.
And what are you gonna do if I don't? Then I guess you're gonna have to find out how good of a friend I really am.
You're that rapist kid, aren't you? I thought I recognized you.
That is some fucked-up shit you did.
Yep, that's me.
Fucked up.
And my life is pretty fucked up, too.
Which means I have no problem dedicating whatever's left of it to ruining yours.
[SETH SCOFFS.]
So what's it gonna be? [BRYCE.]
Can I ask you a question? Are you just smoking it or are you shooting it, too? - Yeah, both.
- Fuck! Justin That shit will kill you dead.
One shot you get something that's too strong - or fucking fentanyl or some shit - What, are you gonna teach me now? No.
No, of course not.
But I don't want you to die.
You take this shit? I don't, no.
Makes me puke like a fire hose.
- Fire hoses don't puke per se.
- Shut the fuck up.
I got it when I twisted my ankle.
Take that shit instead, okay? Taper off it if you can.
Don't fucking die.
[JUSTIN.]
Bryce had my back.
If it wasn't for him, Seth He would've blown my brains out.
Did you ever see him again? Bryce? It was just a one-time thing.
I tried to avoid him until the Homecoming game.
Just, I couldn't I couldn't face him.
So, you have no idea how he died? Seth sent me a text on the day they found his body.
Jesus.
I didn't kill Bryce.
But I think that I might be the reason he is dead.
So, you really believe that Seth killed Bryce? I don't know.
Maybe.
It could be that he he did.
It could be that we make the cops think that he did.
Either way, I know where to start.
- All right, we gotta be quick.
- [ANI.]
Can we expect him back soon? I don't know, Ani.
He doesn't exactly keep banker's hours.
[CLAY.]
Somebody's been shopping.
[ANI.]
Yeah, with Bryce's money, I'm guessing.
So, let's find proof.
Anything that links Seth to Bryce.
[TENSE TECHNO MUSIC PLAYING.]
Holy shit! Guys.
This is Bryce's watch.
Which means they met up again.
Maybe Bryce gave it to him when Seth came back for more.
[CLAY.]
Or he took it.
Off of Bryce's body after he killed him.
- We have to go to the cops.
- We [KEY IN DOOR.]
What the fuck are you doing here? We know what you did to Bryce Walker.
We're calling the cops.
- No, Clay, don't! - The fuck you talking about? [CLAY.]
Justin told me how Bryce paid you off so you'd leave him alone.
- [SETH.]
Oh, he did now? - Clay, stop! And you went back to Bryce, right? For more money, but he refused so you taught him a lesson.
And what lesson was that? You killed him.
- You don't know shit.
- Then why do you have his watch? [SETH SCOFFS.]
Is that what you think? Shut the fuck up, Seth.
I had no idea the watch belonged to the dead kid.
Junkie here gave it to me for product.
He's a fucking liar! You can live in a fancy house, but you're still a fucking junkie.
- Just like your whore mama.
- Fuck you! - [CLAY.]
Justin! - Get the fuck back.
- Whoa! Justin! - [ANI SCREAMING.]
[CLAY.]
Go! Go! [CLAY.]
Go! Fuck! So, Justin was the criminal in the family, but Clay was the one about to be accused of a crime.
Legally, it should have no bearing on the adoption proceedings, but Clay's over 18 now, and if any adult living in the household has been convicted of a felony the adoption will be denied.
So, what do we do? For now, we wait.
They won't recommend your case to a judge until until they have some clarity on Clay's situation.
Okay.
[MRS.
JENSEN.]
Justin? You always have a home here, no matter what.
Okay? Yeah.
Yeah, I know.
You boys get some sleep.
- [JUSTIN SIGHING.]
- [DOOR CLOSING.]
- I'm sorry.
- For what? For fucking what? I mean, you didn't do anything.
It's not your fault.
You have nothing to be sorry for.
I love you, man.
Yeah, me too.
I have to take a shit.
[ANI.]
When you live with an addict, everything starts looking suspicious.
Like the one time Justin decides to close the door to do his business.
[SCRAPING AND TAPPING.]
[TAPPING.]
Justin! - Shut the fucking door! - What're you doing? What the fuck does it look like? [SNORTS DEEPLY.]
You've been lying to me.
You've been getting high this whole time! No.
No, I don't I don't get high anymore.
I get by.
I maintain.
I fucking I fucking survive! Seth was telling the truth - about the watch, wasn't he? - I didn't kill Bryce! Then help me believe you! Tell me how you ended up with his watch.
No more lies! Okay.
No more lies.
[ANI.]
He told Clay it was actually the watch he had taken the day of the funeral, but he had taken much more from Bryce before that.
[KNOCKING.]
[ZACH.]
Justin! Dude.
Justin, wake the fuck up! Come on, man! - What the fuck? - Dude, I've been waiting outside for ten minutes.
The team breakfast? It's game day.
Come on, dude.
Let's go.
[JUSTIN.]
Shit.
Clean clothes, come on, let's go.
Is this Is this clean? [CHEERING AND CLAPPING.]
All right, everyone listen up.
Listen up in the back, all right? This is the start of league play for the year.
- Yeah! - [WHOOPING.]
Per state rules, players will be drug tested at three random times.
Tonight, gentlemen, is one of those random times.
So, when we get to the field house for East County, we will go directly into the visitor locker room, state guys will supervise the testing, all right? [MONTY.]
Can we give sperm instead of piss? 'Cause I like to yank one off before the game.
[COACH.]
Stay classy, Monty, all right? - Your captain's got a few words.
- Yeah! - Let's go! - [BOY.]
Yeah, get it.
[ZACH.]
Boys, tonight, we show them what kind of team we are, from the fucking piss test to the real test out on the field.
- [BOYS.]
Yes! - [CHARLIE.]
Let's show them! [ZACH.]
I am so proud of every single one of you! [ANI.]
The team had made Justin feel like he belonged again.
[BOYS CHANTING.]
Tigers! [ANI.]
Until that night.
["FOREVER & EVER MORE" PLAYING.]
[CHEERING.]
- Yeah! - [ANI.]
He watched Monty, Zach and Luke, how it all seemed so easy for them.
And he felt more and more lost.
Down in the gutter And looking for trouble Or something to that effect And there she was, a metal cross Ironically around her neck And then she kissed me on the lips And a fever came without warning What did you think When you made me this way? What did you think Come on! Yeah! Hold me so close When we get to the gates And we'll be together forever And ever and more [WHISTLE BLOWING.]
Christ! [CROWD PROTESTING.]
[COACH.]
Foley, get in there! [ANI.]
Sports had always been the cure for Justin, the thing that made him feel alive.
But on the field that night he felt more alone than ever.
What did you think When you made me this way? Hold me so close When we get to the gates [BOY.]
Go, go, go! [SONG ENDS.]
- Damn it! - Shit! Damn it! [CROWD CHEERING.]
[BREATHING HARD.]
[COACH.]
Whatever you think is best.
Switch them if you want.
Hey, Foley.
Foley, what the hell? Taylor was gonna pick the guy up over the middle.
No, man coverage, dude.
That means cover your man! - Talk to fucking Taylor! - Hey, don't you - Don't you walk away from me.
- What? What do you want me to say? "I messed up, Coach.
" That's what I want you to say.
"I messed up, I'll get it right next time.
" - Whatever.
- Okay, yeah.
Whatever.
Don't give me whatever.
"Whatever" is a piece of shit word.
Don't be a piece of shit.
Okay.
Hey, hey.
Justin.
Justin, hey, look at me.
Look at me.
Look, listen to me.

We get better and we learn.
You get me? Yes, sir.
Okay.

Same reason he ever gave you anything.
No, this was different.
He was different.

Always was.

But you didn't kill him? No.
But you weren't with Jessica that night? No.

Where'd you go? Down by the docks.

We tell your parents.
They send me away.

You you don't want to do that, though, right? I really really don't.
