Excerpt
Erin held my eyes for a moment but
she broke away, saying, over my shoulder, “What do you want?”
I turned sharply.
Erin’s mother, making a rare appearance, was standing on the threshold of the
room, taking in Erin’s hand that still lay in mine. I dropped it.
“What are you
doing?” Erin’s mom asked in a dull voice, her fingers trying to comb through
her matted hair. She seemed lucid but her eyes were glazed and hooded.
“I’m about to take
off all my clothes,” said Erin, and I hoped her mother didn’t catch my sharp
intake of breath.
Her mom sighed. “Always got a clever
comment, don’t you?”
“We’re just doing our homework, Mrs
Parker,” I said quickly, hoping to defuse something ugly. Erin hadn’t tried to
hide the fact from her parents that I was an Oxy; in fact, she liked throwing
it in their faces. They didn’t prevent me from coming around but the atmosphere
was always tense.
“You’re no fun,” said Erin, squinting at
me. Her mother picked at her teeth. “So mom, if you don’t mind, please shut the
door on the way out.”
“Actually,” Mrs Parker said, “We’re gonna
leave that open.” And she shoved my schoolbag in front of the door and walked
away. We could both hear the crack in the kitchen as she snapped a couple more
beers out of a pack.
“With the amount that my mother drinks,”
said Erin, “you’d think she’d be a lot more fun. Just because she had me when
she was sixteen, she thinks I will do the same thing. As if!”
She looked up at
me, frowning. “And I mean, really, it’s only you, Alex.”
And my heart ached.
