a rough go of it lately. She found out her boyfriend was cheating on her
with not just another girl, but a guy, too. She lost it and beat the shit out of
his car with an ax handle and now she has community service.
Of course, our free love mom has not been that supportive of my sister’s violent streak as she called it. When I told mom that I would’ve beat the hell out of him myself,
she wasn’t happy about that either.
So me leaving makes her feel like I’m abandoning her like our dad. She actually liked
him when we were little, he treated her like a princess, but doesn’t he treat any
woman that way? Considering we know he was married to my mom and our brother, Cade’s
mom at the same time. We don’t have a clue about him since he got out of prison,
and I really don’t care.
I really didn’t even want to find Cade, but Scarlet begged for her birthday for us
to go find him. I’m glad she did though, he’s a cool guy and obviously a lot better
man than our dad. He chose his family over an NFL career. His wife is amazing and
their friends are cool. I also found out that I have a very cool ass three year old
niece, Madison, who is bossy and hilarious. They also have a little boy on the way.

This week has flown by. Scarlet and I have had a chance to talk more. I think she’s
into this guy, Ryder, from her Community Service. She supposedly hates him, but her
eyes dance when she talks about him. I haven’t watched them do that in a really long
time. I really hope that she’ll let her guard down and give him a shot.
I have Scarlet drive me over to Stoney’s. I’m going to let her use my car while I’m
gone. Once we’re in the driveway, I see the tears coming out of her eyes. “Scar,
I’ll be back before you know it.”
“I know, I just worry, and I know I’ll miss you.”
“Look, just take care of my car and don’t get arrested anymore. Okay?’
She nods and falls into my chest. “Okay, I’m going to go. I need to go pick some
stuff up for mom.”
I kiss her on her forehead. “Okay kid, I love you. Take care.”
I watch her get in the car and drive away.
Stoney steps out. “She gonna be okay, man?”
“I think so. Everybody ready to go?”
“Ivie’s not here yet.”
“What the fuck man?”
“Look, I’ve tried calling her, and Keeg has tried. Hopefully she’ll be here soon.”
I let my head fall back. “She fucking better be. Is something going on with her?
Is she on something? Is she flaking out? She’s missed practice this week, calling
after to apologize. We need to have a serious talk with her. ”
Stoney looks at the ground with his hands in his pockets. “I know man. I know.”
So to say that Chad wasn’t happy when he found out about the tour last weekend would
be a serious understatement. I’ve paid for it all week. I’ve had to avoid the guys.
He’s told me I’m not going and he’ll never let me go.
I’ve gotta go though or he’s gonna kill me if I stay here. He’s seriously strung
out. It’s not like I can call the cops on him, he is a damn cop. He likes to remind
me of that when he has me tied to something, roughing me up and fucking the hell out
of me. When I told him about the tour, he hurt me so bad I could hardly walk for
two days.
Today I have to throw my shit in a bag and
