*Liam gets tired of this ninth grader talking crap about his family and himself and has finally had enough. Thank you to my bff Thefeelz1234 for helping me write some of this! Send suggestions! Love • Bree ❤️*

It is currently study hall! Liam, Willow, Arya, Elliott, Ace, Caspian, Schuyler and Nixon are hanging out and are studying for their history test that is next!

"This test is going to be so hard! How am I gonna remember all of these people." Ace says as he tries to study.

"I suck at history!" Nixon says as he looks at his study guide.

"We just gotta remember the big events. Not every little thing." Willow says to Ace.

"Dude, is your foot feeling better?" Caspian asks Liam noticing Liam doesn't have his boot on.

"Yeah! It is finally back to normal! It finally doesn't hurt." Liam says Caspian.

"That's awesome you are feeling better. It looked really painful when you hurt your foot." Elliot says to Liam.

"I wish you could have played flag football with us this year. This season has been freaking legit." Caspian says to Liam.

"It has! One of the best seasons ever." Schuyler says to Liam.

"I know it sucks. But next year I definitely am playing. My doctor doesn't want me playing any sports until the fall, which freaking sucks. I won't be able to play lacrosse." Liam says with an annoyed look.

"I rather not play and fully heal then play and get hurt again." Willow says to her boyfriend.

"I agree!" Arya says as Elliot nods in agreement.

"Girlfriends are always right." Elliot says as he smiles at Arya and Arya giggles.

Liam sees Braeden, a ninth grader at the public charter school. He is infamous for bullying and getting away with it. He is sitting with his best friends, Cullen and Henry.

"Liam Grassi-Hoying is a little punk bitch and will be nothing." Braeden says to his best friends Henry and Cullen.

"Dude, he was talking about you!" Elliot says to Liam.

"I'm so sick of Braeden's shit, man!" Liam says as he hands Willow his book bag.

"Liam, please don't! Please!" Willow says, trying to grab Liam's arm but fails.

"Whatcha say? Whatcha say?" Liam says as he walks over to Braeden, Henry and Cullen.

"Say it to my face you ginger bitch! My ears work just fine if you think I couldn't hear you talking shit about me!" Liam yells to Braeden.

"Bro bro! Get your camera out! Film this!" Elliot says to Ace.

"Oh snap!" Schuyler says as he gasps.

Willow hides her face with her hands.

Ace grabs his iPhone out of his pocket and begins to film.

"Don't tell Ace to do that!" Arya says to her boyfriend Elliot.

"Yo, I need a better view of this!" Caspian says as he begins to film.

"Don't film up and down! Film in portrait view! People online hate that." Nixon says as he also begins to film.

Arya hides behind Elliot and Elliot rubs her back.

"Yeah, I got red hair, and? That's all you got pussy? You think you funny with your lame jokes, boy? Baby dick, get the fuck out of my face. You won't be nothing, that's what the fuck I said and it's fact. Your parents got famous because of how annoying they are." Braeden says to Liam.

"I don't know why you keep talking shit about me and my family bro! You are an ass!" Liam says to Braeden.

"Pussy little seven graders filming thinking they cool over! Mind your business you little clowns." Henry says to Liam's friends.

"Look at all the pussy little seventh graders! Look how scared they are! They are in the corner hiding. Grow some balls." Cullen says as he laughs.

"Shut up, Henry! Nobody likes you, dude!" Caspian says to Henry.

"Oh, look at the little ladies and gents that think their balls and titties dropped." Henry says to Caspian.

"Why do you act out, Liam? Having family probs at home? Are your parents too busy fucking and singing to care about you little bitch? I don't know why your parents keep popping kids out but yet they are never home." Braeden says to Liam.

"My family is better then yours bitch! At least my parents love each other unlike yours do! Your parents don't even want you! You were a damn mistake!" Liam says to Braeden.

"DANG!" Schuyler, Ace, Arya, Elliot and Caspian say in unison.

"Bro, kick his pussy skinny ass." Cullen says to Braeden.

"Your parents ain't shit, Liam!" Henry says to Liam.

"You can't hurt me, pussy boy! Try me! Try me! I dare you! I know what I am and who I am you thick skull bitch!" Braeden says smacking Liam's chest hard.

Liam begins to fight back and knocks Braeden down on the ground. Liam is on top of Braeden and is punching him.

"WORLD STAR! WORLD STAR! WORLD STAR!" Ace says as he films the fight.

"KICK HIS ASS, LIAM! LET'S GO!" Caspian says to Liam.

"YES, LIAM! KICK HIS ASS! GET HIM! GET HIM!" Nixon says as he claps his hands.

"Braeden! Kick Liam's bitch ass! Come on!" Cullen says as he films.

"Go Liam! Go!" Elliot and Schuyler say in unison.

"Braeden! What the fuck you suck! Come on!" Henry says to to Braeden.

Arya and Willow hide as they watch Liam fight.

"Come on boys! Break this up right now!" A teacher says as he tries to stop the fight, but fails.

Liam continues to punch Braeden in the face and then Braeden punches Liam's lip causing it to bust. Liam kicks Braeden's back causing everyone to "Ooo!"

"WORLD STAR! WORLD STAR!" Ace says as he continues to film.

"Ace, that's so trashy and annoying." Willow says to Ace in annoyance.

"Man, Liam can fight!" Schuyler says as he watches.

"Yeah, man! That was crazy!" An eighth grader says in the back as he claps his hands. 

"Dang! Braeden got his ass kicked by a seventh grader! That's my best friend though! My best friend kicked his ass!" Caspian says jumping up and down.

Elliot hugs Arya tightly and kisses her cheek.

"That was so intense!" Arya says and Elliot nods in agreement.

"Willow, you won't have to worry about people messing with you!" Schuyler says to Willow.

"Ugh! He shouldn't be fighting people! He needs to use his words or tell somebody!" Willow says.

"He tried but Braeden is a bitch! A bitch that got his ass beat boy!" Caspian says as he laughs loudly.

A teacher grabs Liam and drags him away.

"You messed with the wrong family boy! You don't fuck with my family! Don't fuck with me no more!" Liam says as the teacher takes Liam to the office.

"You are still a little bitch!" Braeden says to Liam.

Another teacher takes Braeden to the office.

"But forreal like he shouldn't have hit him even though that fight was awesome." Ace says, looking at his video.

"Dude, that was legit! Braeden got what he deserved! You don't mess with family bro!" Caspian says as he looks at his video.

"That was crazy. I hope Liam's parents don't get mad at him." Arya says as Elliot hugs her again.

"They probably will be. Mr. Mitch and Mr. Scott wouldn't want him doing that." Willow says with a frown.

*****
Mitch and Scott have picked up Liam from school. Liam will be suspended for seven days from school and won't be able to participate in spring sports.

Mitch, Liam and Scott have began the long drive home. Nicole is watching Amelia for them so they could talk to Liam one on one and without a three year old interrupting them every two seconds.

"I can't believe you did that, Liam! Why would you even go up to him and just fight him? Like do you not know how to control yourself? Do you not know how to keep your hands to yourself? I know damn well that Papa as I TOLD you to NOT fight people! And what do you do? You beat somebody up! You weren't defending somebody either! You just walked up to him and threw the first punch like it was nothing!" Mitch says as he rants.

Mitch has been ranting to Liam for almost five minutes now and Liam just wants to go home.

"You don't know what happened though, Dad! That's not what happened! You don't know the facts -" Liam says as Mitch snaps at him.

"LIAM RICHARD! I AM TALKING! DO NOT INTERRUPT ME! I saw the damn video, so I know the damn facts! Don't get smart with me!" Mitch yells at Liam, scaring him a little.

"Mitchy, stop yelling. There is no reason to yell at him like that. Calm down." Scott says to Mitch.

"He isn't listening! He is suppose to go to school to learn and have fun! Not attack people! He is acting like a damn animal! It is like everything we taught him his whole life just disappeared from his brain!" Mitch says out of frustration.

"Mitch, there is no reason to go off like this. I'm disappointed at Liam too, but there is no reason to loose our minds over it." Scott says to Mitch.

"Well, then why don't you speak up and say something to him? I'm tired of being the bad parent all of the time!" Mitch yells at Scott. 

"You aren't the bad parent, Mitch. You are just the stricter one. I was going to talk to him when we got home. I think you two both need to calm down. You can't be getting upset like this when you are pregnant, Mitchy." Scott says to Mitch.

"I'm just disappointed." Mitch says as takes a deep breath and holds Scott's hand.

"Well, Ace and Caspian have videos of the fight! They got the whole thing on camera! The school is one sided and their video sucks!" Liam yells back at Mitch. 

"You and Braeden got the same punishment so don't play the victim card with me. You know what, I don't think you even deserve to have a birthday party. You think acting tough is so cool? You think getting into fights is so cool? I will take everything you have away from you for the rest of the school year! See how tough you are now!" Mitch says to Liam.

Liam begins to cry and have a slight panic attack. Liam has had several panic attacks before but has hidden them from Mitch and Scott. He doesn't wanna get on anxiety medicine.

"Don't cry now! You should have thought about what you were doing! Actions always have consequences!" Mitch says to Liam.

"Liam, it is going to be alright." Scott says to Liam as he continues to drive.

"Oh, don't sugar coat things. He needs to understand what he is doing right now can interfere with his future!" Mitch says to Scott.

"I'm not, babe. And I know that. My parents told me that all of the time. Both of our parents did. We did crazy stuff too." Scott says to Mitch.

Liam begins to go in a full blown panic attack and is really having trouble breathing. Mitch turns around to see Liam in distress.

"Liam? Hey, Liam. Liam! What's wrong? What's wrong? Scott, pull over! Pull over!" Mitch says in a panic.

Scott quickly pulls over on the side of the road.

Mitch then sits in the back with Liam and hugs him, trying to calm him down.

"Liam, take deep breaths bud. Just breathe. Just breathe." Mitch says as he rubs circles into Liam's back.

Liam takes deep breaths and slowly calms down.

"Is something hurting you, bud? Do we need to go to the hospital?" Scott asks Liam.

"No." Liam says softly to Scott.

"Are you sure? Don't lie to Papa and I." Mitch says to Liam.

"My head hurts, but I think it's because I'm upset. And my knuckles hurt." Liam says to Scott and Mitch.

"Nice knuckle bruises, bud. Hopefully they don't get too swollen." Scott says playfully to Liam.

"We might have take you to the hospital just to make sure you don't have a concussion. Can you see us okay?" Mitch says to Liam.

"Yeah. Braeden didn't really hit me, I did all of the hitting really." Liam says to Mitch and Scott.

"Well, just calm down bud. Here, drink some water." Scott says to Liam.

Liam drinks some of Scott's water and Mitch rubs his back.

Mitch continues to rub Liam's back and tenderly kisses his cheek. Mitch is really disappointed in Liam's behavior today, but he also loves his son very much and hates seeing him upset due to his anxiety.

"Have you been having panic attacks, Liam?" Mitch asks Liam.

Liam looks down in embarrassment, not wanting to tell his parents about his recent spike of anxiety.

"Liam." Mitch says to Liam sternly.

"Like two of them." Liam mumbles to Mitch.

"Two? You had two of them? When?" Scott asks Liam.

"Like one last week and the other one like a month ago. I guess three if you count this as a panic attack." Liam says to Scott and Mitch looking down.

"Why didn't you tell Papa or I about them?" Mitch says to Liam, playing with Liam's hair.

"Because I was okay after they were done. I didn't wanna make a big deal over it." Liam says to Mitch and Scott.

"Liam, having a panic attack is a big deal. And three within a month is a big deal. It means your anxiety is really high right now. I don't want you being crippled with panic attacks like I was. Papa and I want you happy and stress free with no anxiety. You are just a preteen you don't need to worry all of the time." Mitch says to Liam.

Liam begins to cry again and gets upset again.

"I'm sorry." Liam says as he curls up in a ball.

"Shhh, shh. Don't be sorry about your anxiety, baby. It's okay. Papa and I told you before it's okay." Mitch says as he hugs Liam tightly.

"It's okay, bud. It's going to be okay." Scott says rubbing Liam's head.

"Liam, can you tell us why you really fought Braeden? What really happened?" Scott asks Liam.

Liam sighs and gets it together before speaking to Mitch and Scott.

"I was tired of Braeden talking shit about us! He would say stuff online about us all of the time! Like he was bullying me and my friends online! Really nasty stuff! I heard him talking about me today and I just freaking snapped! I couldn't freaking take it anymore! I was tired of him thinking he can just degrade me and my family online and think it's fun!" Liam says as he cries.

"Liam, don't swear please." Mitch says to Liam.

"So, I heard him talking to his friends about me at study hall today and I went up to him to confront him about it. We argued and then he pushed me first and I went off and beat the crap out of him." Liam says to Mitch and Scott.

"Liam, you should have told Dad and I that somebody was bullying you online. We could have handle it without this big fight. Do you have evidence he has been doing this?" Scott asks Liam.

"I have proof and so does Willow. He is just an ass." Liam says softly.

"Liam, don't swear. And Liam, I appreciate you defending Papa and I but sometimes you just gotta ignore the comments. You know how many people make nasty comments about Papa and I? A lot of people. A lot of people don't like us and that's totally okay. People make nasty comments about everybody and that's just life. You can be the nicest person and somebody is still not going to like you." Mitch says to Liam.

"I know, but I was just tired of it." Liam says to Mitch.

"I knew that kid was an asshole. He looked just like one too." Scott says to Liam.

"He is! He bullies everybody. I don't know how he has friends honestly." Liam says as he sniffles.

"I'm sorry for going off on you, Liam. I'm really sorry. I just want what's best for you. I want you to have fun in school, I want you to have fun playing sports and fun with your family and friends! I want you to enjoy your childhood and life with no anxiety and fear. I want you to be successful when you become an adult. I just don't want you doing things that can mess it up for you, that's all. Papa and I work hard so you can have and we expect you to put the work in too so you can get a great career. You can't get in trouble in school a lot, most colleges won't accept you. You need good grades to get into college and get a good career." Mitch says as he kisses Liam.

"I know. I'm really sorry." Liam says softly.

"It's okay, Liam. Just try to calm down." Mitch says to Liam.

Mitch continues to rub Liam's back and kisses Liam's cheek.

"Do you feel okay now?" Scott asks Liam.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Liam says, drinking some more water.

"Do you still wanna go to the hospital?" Scott asks Liam.

"No, I'll be okay." Liam says to Mitch and Scott.

"Well, if your head hurts or anything crazy with your vision, let Papa and I know. Then we will need to take you to the hospital." Mitch says to Liam.

"Okay, Dad." Liam says to Mitch.

Mitch kisses Liam's cheek before getting back in the passenger seat and Scott begins to drive back home.

"Dad?" Liam says softly to Mitch.

"Yes?" Mitch says as he turns around to see Liam.

"Are you really going to cancel my birthday party?" Liam asks Mitch softly.

"No, I'm not. Papa and I paid too much money to cancel it. But you are going to work for it that's for sure." Mitch says to Liam.

"That's fine. I'll work for it." Liam says to Mitch.

"That's my boy." Mitch says as he smiles at Liam.

"Liam, are you hungry?" Scott asks Liam.

"Yeah, I'm starving. I didn't get to eat lunch today." Liam says to Scott.

"Okay, let's get you something to eat. Babe are you hungry?" Scott says to Liam and Mitch.

"Yes, I'm starving. So is baby Joel, he is kicking the crap out of me." Mitch says as Scott giggles and puts his hand on Mitch's baby bump.

Scott smiles and rubs Mitch baby bump softly.

Scott, Mitch and Liam go out to lunch before heading home. :)
