Bad breakups, being used, bullying, humiliation, depression not to worry dad's got your back and he'll do anything to put that smile back on her face and I mean anything for his little girl
Everyone is circled in the room with cuts and bruises
Mr. Rivera: Would anyone like to explain what happened last night at the party?
Everyone stays quiet
Mr. Rivera: Dexter I believe it was your place
Dexter nods
Alex: It's my fault
Everyone looks at her
Dexter: No Alex
Alex: They bullied me, I fought back, and they wanted to deal with me
Keith: They made the first punch
Mr. Rivera: It doesn't matter who punched first. Look at all of you. We have a speech tonight and you're going looking like that? I mean what did your parents think? They were pissed off right? This is suppose to be an anti bullying class and you get into a fight. Fights are never the answer, it makes things worse
Everyone looks down. The bell rings
Mr. Rivera: See you tonight, try covering it up... Alex; a word please?
She walks over to him
Alex: I'm in trouble right?
Mr. Rivera: No you're not I just wanted to see it you're alright from last night
Alex: Yeah but my dad's pissed
Flashback...
Alex goes in the house and tries to sneak to her room but the lights come on, he's behind her
Dad: Where the hell have you been?
Alex: lost track of time
Dad: Bullshit
Alex: I did
Dad: Look at me
She shakes her head
Dad: Look at me Dammit!
She slowly turns around, her face is bruised
Dad: What the fuck happened?
Alex: Did you put Steph's dad in a coma?
Dad: Do NOT change the subject!
Alex: She came to the party with her boyfriend and accused me of beating her dad. It was you right?
Dad: Yes it was
He walks over and grabs her face
Dad: Look at this shit, unbelievable
He grabs a lamp and throws it at the wall
End of flashback...
Mr. Rivera: I'm sure he understood the situation. In fact I would like to ask if you would make a speech tonight?
Alex: Me?
Mr. Rivera: Yes, about your experience with bullying just like you told everyone in class on your first day
Alex: Hmm... Alright
Mr. Rivera: Bring your dad to, I'd like to meet him
Alex: Alright I'll see what I can do
Mr. Rivera: Great see you tonight
At the house...
Alex sees her dad in the back
