"We are pulling him out of that school.'' Beau is angry and I cannot blame him. I am just as furious as he is "I am fucking coming home right now. I am going to that fucking school first thing in the morning,'' he adds.
Yup, Beau is angry.
I want to urge him on. I want him to cause a scene. I want him to fucking do something.
I hate that Colm had to go through that.
"Who hurt you son?'' Beau asks calmly.
His voice is encouraging. Colm looks at him and I see the vulnerability in his eyes. The pain.
"Max,'' he answers.
Max is a friend.
Or at least I thought he was.
Max is his classmate. He was the first friend that Colm made in school. Maybe they had a fight. It is normal for kids to fight.
"Why did Max do this to you and why did you lie that you fell?'' he asks him still as calm.
I wait.
