nervously)

open, and there, Mikaela's brother, Simon came home.
With slight annoyance appearing on his face.

Simon. Open the door properly.
Simon ignored her mother and continued to walk towards his
room.

(Her mood changes)
Simon! Where are your manners! You're not gonna say something
to us?
Simon stopped and looked at them.
SIMON
Why does it matter, I'm you're good for nothing son anyways
because I don't do what you want right?
Mikaela stared at her brother and thought to herself,
MIKAELA
(Inner Thoughts)
That's right, the reason why my parents don't have a good
relationship with my brother...
FLASHBACK
At his father's office, Simon stands and his head is lowered.
TREVOR
Simon. We just want the best for you. And do you know what that
is? It's you inheriting our hospital.
SIMON
(He clenched his fist,not lookin at his father's direction)
But father... I want to be a policeman. I don't want to be a doctor.
TREVOR
No. Simon. Being a policeman has low salery, and choosing
policeman over being a doctor just wastes your scholarship.
SIMON
(slams his hands at his father's desk)
WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? ARE YO THE ONE WHOS
CONTROLLING OVER MY BODY?
Trevor's expression remains Stoic. The atmosphere turned cold,
but then simon continous
SIMON
All you and mom did was to compare me to mikaela, all you both
do was to make me feel intimidated and insecure about myself-
TREVOR

simon we are your parents-
SIMON
STOP ACTING LIKE BOTH OF YOU WERE SUPERIOR.
I've had enough of this, Im leaving.
