Conversations that make you snort, roll your eyes and grind your teeth. Family gatherings have never been one of your favorite pastimes. It was embarrassing and nerve wracking how the people at this damn table behaved like little children who couldn't control themselves and took out their insecurities on everyone and everything.

You never wanted Simon to know how messed up and confusing your family really was. How out of date your family was. Old-fashioned; in a bad way.

You and your partner Simon were invited to a Family dinner. As always, the conversations centred around toxic topics and they humiliated you in front of Simon, who could barely restrain himself. He would have loved to bang everyone's head against the table for humiliating you like this.

His nerve ran thin and your brother let it break. Your brother had disrespectfully pushed the plate towards you and ordered you to put it away.

"Fuckin' hell. Take your plate away yourself, you lazy bugger. You've got two healthy legs. Now move your ass before I forget myself," he scolded with a growl that silenced everyone. It seemed like that his lieutenant being was scratching the surface.
