EXCERPT
Carrie
Everything Blake said washes over me, and with it, the
realizations surface hard and fast. My best friend’s uncle is a kidnapper. April
is a pawn. They will probably kill her. There’s nothing I can do. Thank God I
got away, but now I may lose my best friend forever. And lastly, how did I know
nothing about this?
It all makes sense, though. This is the reason April’s mom always
kept them away from her uncle. This is the reason she’s been acting weird, and
this is what made April so reluctant to go the club. I can’t believe she
wouldn’t tell me something this big. Maybe she didn’t know? The thoughts are
endless, swirling around my head. I don’t know where to begin, but I know one
thing: there’s no way I can be alone. No matter how much I want to.
“So, where’s your place then?” I ask him directly, and there’s
immediate relief on his face that I’m considering it.
Blake
She’s finally starting to unwind. I tell myself I should be
keeping notes on the progress of my witness. But who am I kidding? I’ve been
watching her like a hawk from the moment I saw her, and it has nothing to do
with keeping witness notes. I’ve done my fair share of tough assignments in
this job, but this is hard in a different way. Sticking like glue to the woman
who got away.
She was the first one to break me back then, and it sucked. One
moment I’m getting up the courage to ask her out, and the next she leaves for
the entire summer and comes back acting like I’m the fucking invisible man.
Christ, we were good friends. It was a waste. I have no idea what I did or
didn’t do. She just never called again. Women. This is why they have a bad
reputation. This is why we need a manual. Things break on the inside, and we
don’t even know they need repairing before they chew us out or take off.
Not long after it went sour with Carrie, my mom finally snapped.
She caught Dad spending money on unsavory pussy and left him. Well, she left us
all, really. Brenda and I had to deal with his rages after that. The Wiley old
bastard made sure he didn’t take it too far because he needed us. Without Mom
in the picture, he had no one to pick on. He didn’t want to be alone with his
resentments and pain. I wish we’d had the courage to leave earlier, but we
needed to hit rock bottom before we saw there was another way.
Change is like that. Sometimes shit needs to get utterly
unbearable.
