Stacy smiled back then wondered how long it would take Joey to come to. "Look, odds are Joey won't even mention why he snapped so I'll tell you. If he tells you than just go along with it because he doesn't like people talking about it. His parents used to be serious political activists until a few years ago when he was thirteen. Joey was sick and his mom stayed home to take care of him. His father went to a protest downtown and it turned ugly. His father was sadly killed during a riot outbreak by riot cops. His mother blames him for her not being able to save him and Joey blames her for not stopping him. His relationship with his mother has all but entirely dissolved so his father is a real touchy subject for him. explained Stacy.
