Les reluctantly took the phone and said, "Hello?" His father said, "Les, please come home. Why did anda run away?" Les said, "Dad, I didn't run away. I moved out. There's a difference." His father said, "I need anda at home." Les said, "No, anda don't. If I stayed, we'd just fight all the time. It's not good for either of us." He said, "If anda don't come halaman awal now, I'll call the police!" Les said, "Go ahead. Tell them your eighteen-year-old just left home. See how that works out for you." His father said, "Yes, anda are eighteen. That means it's not child abuse if I beat the shit out of you!" Les began to cry. Jimmy's mother heard what Les's father berkata from outside the phone. She snatched the phone back and said, "Now, anda listen here! It may not be child abuse if anda beat Les up, but it is considered assault. anda leave the poor boy alone! anda have caused him enough harm. If anda ever come around him, I will have the police waiting on anda when anda arrive." Les's father said, "Well, I guess if he wants to leave his dear, old dad, that's up to him. I'll leave him be." Jimmy's mother said, "Dear, old dad, my ass!" Les's father then hung up. Jimmy's mother then looked at Les. He still had tears in his eyes. She hugged him and said, "It's all right, dear. Your father won't hurt anda anymore." He dried his tears and said, "Thank you." She said, "You're welcome." Later that night, Jimmy's parents showed Les the extra bedroom. As Les settled into the bed, he asked, "Do anda think if Jimmy and I start a band, we'll be a wave tossed in the ocean?" Jimmy's father said, "Of course not, Les! Don't believe your father. He's an idiot." Jimmy's mother said, "Les, you're very talented. Jimmy is too. You'll just have to meet other dedicated people, and you'll be as famous as some of the greatest artists of all-time." Les asked, "Are anda just saying that to make me feel better?" She said, "Of course not, Les. I believe in you. Now, anda get some sleep." Les closed his eyes and slept like he hadn't slept in years.
