"Shh..." Ben held his finger to his lip, looking at the offensive lamp that had dared to trip him. No, someone had decided to rearrange all the furniture on him while he had been away at the bonfire party at the river.
The soon-to-be Senior Class had gathered for a night of music, swimming, grilling and beer. However, Ben hadn't exactly mentioned that last piece to his parents.
Now did he warn them that he would be stumbling in at two in the morning.
The lights flipped on and blinded him a moment, and then he was able to make out his father on the stairs, shotgun aimed at home. His mother was only a few feet behind him, scowling.
"Awww shit..."

He paused for a minute, needing to get out of the room before he exploded at something. "Give Mom your keys, and then go to your room. As I said, you're grounded." And with that he walked out of the room, heading upstairs before he said something he really regretted.

"Ben!" Lisa got up from her chair.
"No, you sided with him. Forget it. Screw him, and screw you. I'm done with this."
The front door slammed behind him as he left, leaving Lisa crying in the hallway, holding onto Ben's keychain.

But now it was just him and his mom. His choice made for him by process of elimination. He got up and walked over to her, not sure what to do for a moment and then figured, she hugged him when ever he freaked out over something and it helped so he's go with that. he pulled his mother into a hug.
