It was only a slap.
Well, maybe more than one. And maybe Nick used his fist at the end
when the anger got out of control. But now Caitlin's family has procured
a restraining order to keep 16 year old Nick away, and the judge has sentenced
him to Mario Ortega's Family Violence class, to sit around every week with
six other angry guys who hit their girlfriends. And to write a journal
explaining how he got into this mess. In his journal, Nick relives the
course of his tender but stormy love affair with Caitlin and the time after
the restraining order, where, desperate and friendless, he struggles to understand
and overcome his anger. |
