MERCY

It was very fucking awkward to look in the rear-view mirror and see Mac and Z playing tonsil hockey in the backseat. I guess I should’ve seen it coming. I mean, they share a bed, for fuck’s sake. But I had no idea. No fucking idea. In a way, I felt betrayed. I don’t know why, it’s not like I wanted to get with Mac or anything, but she was my best friend, I thought I knew her better than anyone, and I never knew she was into chicks. She’d always had boyfriends before. Lots of boyfriends. She never talked about girls that way. Never. She never once let on that she was … you know. Like that.

I looked at Sly Girl and she laughed into her hand. I glanced at the back seat; they were still going at it. I cranked the radio, hit seek. I didn’t feel right. This was weird. It was like suddenly I had no idea who Mac was. How long had they been hiding this from us? It’s pretty fucked up when you think about it, actually.

Finally, Kayos got in the car and they stopped making out.

I drove fast, my mind numb, and no one said anything for awhile. Then, at an intersection, Kayos muttered, I can’t get away from him.

What are you talking about? I said.

She pointed to a bench at the bus stop. It was plastered with the face of some moustache-wearing dumb-ass I’d seen before on billboards and shit. Roger Jones Sells Homes! it declared in big blue letters. That’s my stepdad, she said.

I laughed. Your stepdad is Roger Jones?

Yeah.

Looks like a real douche.

He is.

Want me to paint over all his ads? Z piped up from the back.

I think you’re taking a break from the paint for a while, baby, Mac said.

Z gave her a pouty mouth and their heads came together. I tried to keep my eyes on the road. Un-fuckin-believable, I whispered.

Sly Girl giggled, and I tilted the rear-view to check Kayos’s reaction. Her mouth hung open and she stared without shame at the love scene going on beside her in the back seat.

We went to see a cheesy comedy at Tinseltown because that’s what Miss Z wanted to do. I sat as far away from Mac as I could. I couldn’t even look at her. I felt sick inside. I don’t have a problem with gay people, I don’t. But I do have a problem with my best friend hiding the fact that she’s in a relationship with another friend of mine, who happens to be the same sex as her.

I couldn’t even concentrate on the movie. All these thoughts were jamming up my head. I didn’t even know if I could trust Mac again after this.

Later that night, after everyone had gone to bed, I took my .32 and balaclava and went out and robbed the twenty-four-hour liquor store at Cardero and Davie. This faggy little hipster was working the till. He didn’t even flinch. Just flipped his hair back and handed over the cash like he’d done it a hundred times before.
