It's admirable to speak up against abuse.
Jason's parent's, Jerry and Sharon, are having a huge argument in the next room, and Jason is worried for his mothers safety as he hears a loud smack.
Jason wants to act on what he heard.
Jason immediately walks into the room where Jerry and Sharon are fighting and tells Jerry to leave before he calls the cops.
Jason is indecisive and ultimately waits until Jerry leaves to check on Sharon.
Sharon is left unscathed and now Jason and her make a plan to get a restraining order against Jerry.
Sharon has two black eyes and Jason wishes he wouldn't have waited.
