Chapter Eleven

Despite Tom’s weak protests that he wanted to stay and help, John, Kyle, and Jacob, with Tyler leading the charge, finally overruled him and got him loaded into Tom’s truck. Tyler drove, and they slowly began making their way home.

“We need to get the house generator topped off for them before we leave,” Tom softly said as he stared out the passenger window. “Maybe call around and see if anyone’s delivering propane.”

“I will handle it, love,” Tyler assured him.

“You should stop and get gas somewhere, too, if you see any place that’s open and doesn’t have a mile-long line.”

“Neither option available right now. We have the portable cans we can use. I can siphon gas out of one of the other vehicles, if need be. We should leave this vehicle for Jacob and Kyle to use to help John and take my car.”

Tom finally looked at him, one eyebrow arched.

“Right, well I’m sure you could show me how to siphon gas, couldn’t you? I’m not a total moron.”

Tom slid a hand across the seat and gripped Tyler’s tightly. He didn’t want to lose it now.

If he did, he was afraid he’d never stop crying.

He thought back to when he was maybe eight. Em had been charged with babysitting him and April one night while their parents went out with friends. Cheryl, Katie, and Karen had gone out with their friends from school.

Em had put the TV on a movie, made them popcorn, and helped them build a fort out of blankets in the living room. They’d had a blast.

He looked out the window again. Once she hit high school, her self-righteous streak widened by a mile. By the time he’d graduated high school, he could barely stand her sometimes.

But she was his big sister, and he loved her. If she’d needed his help, he would have been first in line. Even after she wrecked his car and didn’t pay for it.

And up until the incident, he thought that despite her vocally disapproving of his relationship with Tyler, and then with Nevvie, no matter what, she would have been there for him, too.

He never would have turned on her the way she turned on them.

Never would have hurt her the way she hurt him.

At war with those emotions, his guilt that she died without them mending the fence. At least being able to tell her he loved her, even if he despised her.

Or her being able to apologize for what she did. Not that he’d held out any hope of her doing that, but still…

He looked out the window and took a deep, shuddering breath.

“Poor Momma,” he whispered.

Tyler squeezed his hand as he waited to be waved through an intersection by a deputy. The traffic lights were down. “Nevvie and Dad are with her. They’ll be there to support her.”

“I feel bad for Elle and Danny. I know they were mad at her, too, but they loved her. She was their mom.”

“We’ll all rally around them, love. And around you.”

He felt numb.
