He burst through the front door, trying to hide the tears streaming from his eyes. He tore up the stairs and charged into the locked door.
"MOM!!! WHY IS THE DOOR LOCKED?!" he cried.
His mom looked up from the laptop perched on the table.
"I've decided that you spend too much time in your room and that you need to spend some time with your family." She replied. "Oh, and don't shout at me like that. I definitely won't be unlocking it any time soon," she added.
Alex's father strode into the room.
"Oh, just unlock it, woman," he sneered.
"Oh? He's my son. I can do what I want with him."
"Oh, you ARE, are you?!"
Alex's 10-year-old brother peered through the door.
Alex glared at his parents.
"SHUT UP!" he roared, before storming up another flight of stairs and into the attic.
