Uncle Lionel had gone craaaaazy on my butt, then Darius had come running in after me and demanded I go home so that he could deal with the situation. There had been this awful kind of tension in the air and Lionel had asked Darius if he was certain he wanted to take on the responsibility for my actions. Darius had shoved me out of the door, holding his chin high as he confirmed that he did.
Oh my god he took the beating for him
