Daily Writing Prompt Thread Thingy It'll Be Fun

Okay, I know this isn't the best ever, but I was bored, okay?

This is from my "future" (hopefully!) story that I am writing. It's from the same one with the "FF Part Two." I'm on Chapter One currently, but Chapter 15 was calling my name.

Hopefully it isn't too disturbing for you, but this part is a little dark. It's about the main antagonist's turning point. (He wasn't always bad, you know...)

Thud. Marea crashed into the wall of the hallway, her head pounding. Who had pushed her? She looked around to see Cronah walking slowly toward her, his hands balled in fists and an angry expression on his face.

“Cronah.” Her voice broke. “My son, why did you do this to me?”

“I’d like to know, too,” he said. His head bowed low with shame; he unclenched his fists. “I guess I just… got angry.”

“It’s not just that, and you know it,” she said, tears in her eyes. “You’ve never been like this in your life.”

A thought of Royce flashed into Cronah’s head. Y’know, it’s not wrong to be angry, he was saying. It’s not wrong to vent your emotions. Why had he done it – why had he punched a hole in the wall, why had he broken the window? He was angry. And why?

It was because of Royce. His swaggering superiority, his holier-than-thou attitude. It was because he had said, Let’s just end this. And Cronah had thought that he was his friend.

Friend meant we stick by each other for the rest of our life. Not I’ll abandon you when you need help.

Marea’s voice pulled Cronah out of his thoughts. “I-I don’t know what’s driving you to do this,” she said shakily, “but it isn’t me. And it never has been. Please, Cronah. I have loved you from the beginning. You can turn your life around. I know you can.”

A sudden burst of fury flamed up in Cronah. “You don’t know what he did to me. I can’t repair it now.”

“Please, my son,” pleaded Marea, clutching his hands despairingly. “Please. If you can’t do it for you, then do it for me.”

No,” growled Cronah, his mind clouded with anger. “I can’t, Mother, not after what he did.” He pushed her away forcefully.

There was a scream, a dull cracking sound. The house went dark, and the next thing he knew, the police were there.

Where did everything go wrong?
 
Alright!
Yet another dialogue prompt.

“I don’t want to know what’s driving you to do this.” Her voice wavered, “but I know it’s not me. And it never has been.”
I wasn’t able to do the other one as I was ambushed by one of the worst and only headaches I’ve ever had in my life. It’s on hour…16? But I can prolly do today’s.
My brain feels like it’s being chewed on 😭🫠
