There was a little boy and a girl in the room that I had been staying in before. Apparently, their father was Beach, a member of the club, and they needed somewhere to be while the club was locked down because of me. At first, I had hung my head in shame after meeting them. I wondered if they knew who I was and if they’d hate me since I was the reason they were here. The children were preoccupied with their electronic gadgets and didn’t even bother glancing up at me when Court introduced us.

“Are you Court’s old lady?” The boy asked. I didn’t think he could be any more than eight years old, so it struck me as odd that he knew what an old lady was.

“No, I’m not.”

“Oh,” the girl wrinkled her nose and finally gave me the time of day. “You one of those ladies my daddy tells me to stay away from?” I thought she must have been talking about the club sluts, but I wasn’t sure.

“I don’t think so,” I answered.

The boy gave me a puzzled look then. “Then who’s old lady are you?”

“Crusher,” I answered without thinking.

The boy laughed. “Crusher ain’t got no lady. My daddy says he ain’t ever settling down.”

“Well, my name is Mica,” I told the boy, trying to change the subject, because I already saw proof that Crusher wasn’t the settling type.

“Mike? That’s a weird name for a girl,” he teased.

I laughed. “No, it’s Mic-a.” I emphasized the letters, so he understood the name was different.

“That’s still weird. Why’d your daddy name you a boy name?”

“That’s a good question,” I told him because it didn’t seem like something he was going to drop anytime soon.

“You should ask him,” the boy told me.

“Ask who?”

“Your dad. You should ask him why he named you a dumb name for a girl.” My heart squeezed in my chest. I wished I could ask my dad something like that. Unfortunately, he stopped being the man I knew around the same time my mom got sick.

It was like a switch flipped inside my father the minute my mom received her diagnosis. One minute, he was our loving provider, the man who had always been there for all of us. The next, he was checked out and unavailable both emotionally and physically. Rationally, I knew it was fear of what was to come. He started distancing himself from her when the doctors stopped giving them any chance of a hopeful outcome. He was protecting his heart, but he forgot that they had children who needed both of their parents still. Sure, I was sixteen and seventeen when everything happened, but I was nowhere near grown up enough to handle everything on my own yet.

“I’ll have to do that one day,” I finally said to the little boy. “What is your name?”

“I’m Sin,” the boy announced proudly.

“Sin, huh?”

“Sinclair,” his sister corrected.

“Hush, Crimson. Dad said my name was badass, and when I’m bigger I won’t even need a road name because I’ll have one built in.
