The plan to break away

Colin 

"No.'' 

"Dad this is the best solution to this problem. He is going to go even if you don't let him. At least if I follow him, we can protect each other." 

They are talking about me like I am not here. 

"Does that even make sense to you? How will you protect him? Why won't you two just listen to me for once." 

Dad has never been this angry. 

The only thing I can see is fear. 

He is afraid and he is lashing out. 

I completely understand that but I am not going to listen to them. I have made up my mind and they can't stop me. 

"You are being controlling dad, tell him, Papa,'' Colm turns to papa who is trying to be very diplomatic but I know that he will never go against his partner's word. They always like to be on the same page whenever it involves us.
