Chapter Sixteen

Rita

Packing up the apartment that I’ve lived in for eleven years, the first place I found and could afford after both of our parents died in a house fire is bittersweet. Back then, Cory was only a rough and rowdy ten-year-old, and I had just recently graduated from high school. What little money our parents had in their checking account that would’ve paid for my first semester at college was suddenly needed to survive.

There have been some good memories here, but mostly it’s just been lonely the last three years while my brother has been at college, doing what I never got a chance to do – live carefree with no one but himself to worry about.

If I had been able to get a bachelor’s, even a two-year associate degree from a community college, well, then maybe I wouldn’t be working myself to death at two shit-paying jobs.

Except, I’m not just leaving my apartment behind but my dead-end employment. I’ll have to start all over, finding a job in Myrtle Beach or another city. It’s a big tourist beach town most of the year, so there are probably better options there anyway.

The only thing holding me here was the lack of means to up and move. I’ve never had the spare cash to pay for the first month’s rent, last month’s, and security deposit at a new apartment.

I’m also thirty years old and hate change. But I think this is going to be a good one. It can’t be any worse, can it? Nolan said I’ll have a new name so I can start over somewhere new. I could go anywhere, but I should probably get as far away from Leroy and the Rebel Henchman as possible, so maybe I’ll go to the west coast or to Florida to be closer to Cory…

“That everything?” Nolan asks when he comes over and take the box of beauty products and shower supplies from me.

“That’s it. Your friends work fast,” I tell him as I glance back at the apartment one last time.

“You going to mail the apartment manager the keys?” he asks.

“Nah, I’ll go ahead and just drop them off in the rent deposit box. I’ll be right back,” I tell him as I start to the clubhouse in front of the pool. There’s a gym inside, but I never had the time to enjoy any of the amenities. Cory did, though. Once he hit his teens, he would invite his friends over to swim in the summer, and he worked out several times a week.

It wasn’t a normal life for such a young boy. I know I left him alone more than I should have while I worked, which is why he sometimes got into trouble. He just missed our parents and couldn’t stand being bored or alone for even a minute, because that’s when the memories would creep back up. I know from experience. It’s part of the reason why I was glad to have a day and night job so that there wasn’t much time to think about anything other than what I was being paid to do.
