"heard the commotion outside" (S41)

heard the commotion outside. The tension in his shoulders grew stronger. He will be there in a few minutes. "You can do this." he thought.

After the death of his parents, there were only the two of them. His older brother Mike was rarely home these days, working as an accountant in a local law firm. He still viewed Jesse as this little, helpless kid who needed to be led by the hand. How could he ever understand and he him for who he was?

Jessie felt his heart pounding. Why after everything this had to happen to him? He heard the footsteps and the familiar sound of the keys and the opening door. Then his brother entered the room. "What were you thinking?" he shouted. "O come on Jessie, this is your last two months of high school!

Getting into a stupid fight with this Gilbert kid? You know how much I enjoyed listening to Mr Sam for most of my lunch break?!"

"I am sorry." Jessie responded.

"Fuck, I don't care if you're sorry. Jesus, Jessie you are almost an adult. Is this how you want to live your life?! Punching other people in the face. What is wrong with you?" His brother was now petting pacing the room.

"I said I am sorry Mike." he muttered.

"Why did you do it?" Mike asked.

"It doesn't matter now" Jessie responded.

"Well tell me!" Jessie lifted his head to finally face his brother.

"Fine, he called me a name."

"What name?" his brother prompted.

"Ah, he... he called me fag."
