Tales of Perth, Western Australia (Transcript)

The next day went by and it's kinda normal. Josh, Hayden and Zoe sneaked out of the house all the way to school as usual and went to the theatre room to meet up with their friends.
Kandace: Hey guys.
Zoe: Hi.
Sofia: Did you sneak out again?
Josh: Yeah, we did.
Kandace: Oh you guys are so sneaky.
Sofia: So how come you guys are able to sneak out without Addison knowing?
Josh: So when we jumped out of the window to go to school, Zoe and I used our powers to make sure nothing is suspicious towards Addison. Just to show that we're still sleeping and stuff.
Hayden: She's so caught up with trying to have sex with her boyfriend.
Kandace: Eww.
Liam: Hey guys, you gotta practise on stage, I got the songs.
Zoe: Let's go.
But when the kids were about to go on stage, the intercom called Josh, Hayden and Zoe to the office.
Sofia: What is going on?
Josh: I'm pretty sure the office is calling us.
Zoe: Let's go.
The Bessons picked up their things and went to the office expecting something terrible. Maybe to an expulsion because of Addison.
Mr. Hawkins: Hello you 3, please take a seat.
Josh: So why did you call us?
Mr. Hawkins: So I want to say that your sister, Addison, said that you were so much trouble.
Hayden: Trouble? What did we do? 
Mr. Hawkins: You sneaked out of the house just to study here.
Zoe: That's because our sister is abusive.
Mr. Hawkins: I know, but it's best if you could not come back here for the sake of your sister. You'll be staying at home from now on.
Hayden: I'm confused.
Addison entered the principal's office.
Addison: You 3 are in big trouble right now.
Zoe: Why? What did we do? Besides sneaking to school.
Addison: We'll tell you at home.
Josh, Hayden and Zoe were forced by Addison to come home as they were forced to sit on the couch. So that Addison could do her endless discussions.
Addison: So, you 3 are a lot of trouble. Firstly, Josh couldn't go to school because he can't read. Man, you're turning 17, grow up.
Josh: It's not my fault, I have dyslexia.
Addison: Secondly, Hayden couldn't go to school because of his glucose levels. And the food the school gives you has a lot of sugar so you need to be careful.
Hayden: I have a pump that could help control my glucose levels and the school food I eat is diabetic friendly.
Addison: And lastly, Zoe couldn't go to school because she is from an uneducated and poor family from the Philippines. And you haven't changed one bit ever since we adopted you.
Zoe: Hey! You know how much effort I need to go to school. Even though you think I'm uneducated, I have an A in all subjects which means I'm the top student in Year 10.
Addison: But that doesn't mean that you're still poor.
Zoe: Ugh.
Josh: Relax, Zoe. You don't want to destroy anything, do you?
Without listening to Josh, Zoe violently threw a book from her bag all the way to hit Addison's head out of rage. Addison raged back at her and pressed her towards the couch. Josh, Hayden and Ray watched in horror.
Addison: You think you have the right to fight with me, do you?
Zoe: Stop messing with my brother and my cousin!
Addison: Or what? You want me to hit you so hard your skinny bones would break.
Zoe: No.
Addison: Then obey me or else you'll be hit.
After that, Addison let go of Zoe and left the living room. Josh, Hayden and Ray hugged her giving her comfort.
Ray: It'll be alright, Addison just doesn't want you to go to school.
Josh: Why's that?
Ray: Because she was one of the mean and popular girls in your school. 
Hayden: But why on us?
Ray: So that she could have time to use you to do everything in the house. That's part of the plan to take advantage of you, the same way she did to Hayden.
Zoe: This is bad.
Ray: I'll leave you guys for a while.
Ray left the the kids sitting on the couch just thinking about stuff. Addison just wants to use them so that's why they aren't allowed to go to school anymore.
Song: Broken Home by 5 Seconds of Summer
Josh: #They would yell, they would scream, they were fighting it out #She would hope, she would pray, she was waiting it out #Holding onto a dream #While she watches these walls fall down #Sharp words like knives, they were cutting her down #Shattered glass like the past, it’s a memory now #Holding onto a dream #While she watches these walls fall down#
Zoe: #Hey, mum, hey, dad #When did this end? #When did you lose your happiness? #I'm here alone inside of this broken home #Who’s right? Who’s wrong? #Who really cares? #The fault, the blame, the pain’s still there #I'm here alone inside of this broken home, this broken home #Wrote it down on the walls, she was screaming it out #Made it clear she’s still here, are you listening now? #Just a ghost in the halls #Feeling empty, they’re vacant now #All the battles, all the wars, all the times that you’ve fought #She’s a scar, she’s the bruises, she’s the pain that you brought #There was life, there was love #Like a light and it’s fading out#
Josh: #Hey, mum, hey, dad #When did this end? #When did you lose your happiness? #I'm here alone inside of this broken home #Who’s right? Who’s wrong? #Who really cares? #The fault, the blame, the pain’s still there #I'm here alone inside of this broken home, this broken home#
Hayden: #You've gotta let it go #You’re losing all your hope #Nothing left to hold #Locked out in the cold #Your pain and memories #They washed out all the scenes #I'm stuck in between #A nightmare and lost dreams #Hey, mum, hey, dad #When did this end? #When did you lose your happiness? #I'm here alone inside of this broken home#
All: #Hey, mum, hey, dad #When did this end? #When did you lose your happiness? #I'm here alone inside of this broken home #Who’s right? Who’s wrong? #Who really cares? #The fault, the blame, the pain’s still there #I'm here alone inside of this broken home#
Zoe: #This broken home#
Josh: Let's just go upstairs to our rooms.
Josh, Hayden and Zoe went to their room and put their bags down. Zoe closed the door and locked it so that Addison won't come in.
Zoe: There, Ad won't come in.
Hayden: That's good, I could use some freedom.
Josh: We all do, we don't want to do as we're told.
Zoe: Especially with the so-called, 'boss,' Addison.
Josh: I wonder what made her so spoiled she could manipulate us.
Hayden: It's probably because uncle has been spoiling her too much.
Zoe: How do you know?
Hayden: Because Ad is the first born, uncle would spoil her with so many gifts. But because money started to get a little tight ever since Josh was born and Zoe as adopted, uncle and auntie would shift their focus on you guys. Instead of Ad so that's why she became mean.
Josh: That's the reason why she hated us.
Hayden: Yeah. Your parents shifted their focus on you guys because Josh has dyslexia and needs special needs while Zoe is adopted and need to learn about the world surrounding her.
Zoe: That's why I love geography so much. Along with science and history.
Josh: So that's why Ad hates us? I'm a special needs kid who needs extra attention from mum and dad and Zoe is adopted and still needs to learn about the world surrounding her?
Hayden: I think so, she's jealous of the attention you guys have been getting while Ad is just left behind.
Zoe: Look, us being unique in the family doesn't mean we have to be mistreated. But we just need our parents to help us. Ad is probably being such a selfish brat just wanting mum and dad to hang out with her. But instead, they neglected her and shifted their focus on us.
Hayden: That's why she's being such a rebellious teenager, even in uni right now.
Zoe I agree.
There was silence for a while until Zoe spoke up.
Zoe: You know, just because we're different doesn't mean we have to be treated differently.
Josh: I know. But mum and dad would still shift their focus on us to the point Ad becomes a rebellious teenager.
Hayden: That's the thing I don't like about her. She even mistreated me just for having diabetes.
Josh: I know where you're coming from.
Zoe: Yeah.
Hayden: That's the reason why I had DKA. Ad decided to take away my pump which has insulin.
Zoe: That's not good.
Josh: Yeah.
Hayden: I know.
