Sam was about to charge at his dad when he saw his mom covering her face as she went up the stairs. He didn't realize he was holding his breath until he felt the strong need to exhale. Sam glared at his dad. "One day..." he muttered through gritted teeth and went up the stairs.

Me and my mom, so we can get away from that jerk.</span>Sam stared down at the floor as he waited for his  mom to respond. He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
