“What do you want?” Cameron had asked.

Pause. His father’s face probably went all loose, surprised to hear his number-one son talk back to him.

“You’re going to talk to your dad that way?” he finally asked, and his voice was like an elevator going up.

“I don’t want to talk to you at all.” Cameron felt the fear in his body change to something more, like riding a roller coaster that pulled at the rails, thundering toward liftoff.

“Well, you’re going to talk to me,” his father said. “You’re going to sit your ass in your mother’s car and drive two hours just to talk to me up close and personal.” Cameron could hear the breath dragging through his father’s nose, little bursts of it against the receiver. “If you didn’t go get yourself beat up . . .”

Sissy boy. I’m not raising sissy boys.

“. . . if you just stood up for yourself, landed one good punch, no one would mess with you.”

Been there, done that, Dad. It had about the same effect as grease on a fire.

“Cameron? Did you hear me?” Cameron let the silence stretch, felt his father’s anger pressing through the phone. “You get your ass in your mother’s car . . .”

Cameron handed the phone back to his mother with his father still yelling.
