I clench my jaw and grip the steering wheel hard. I force myself to stare ahead at the road, knowing if I look at Keegan right now, I’ll tell her every goddamn feeling I have for her. I understand she’s not able to admit how she feels. Having her dad leave, brother die, and boyfriend walk away, has definitely left scars for her to cope with.

Of course, she doesn’t know I know about the boyfriend… or the baby. No, that’s info the investigator found, and now that I know, I wish I didn’t.

We’ve been doing this ridiculous dance for over a month now, and it’s time she admits to herself, and me, that this is more than some fucking game. Yeah, I probably overreacted when I saw her talking to that douche. If she’d give me something, some reason to believe she’s not gonna run from this, then maybe I wouldn’t be so jealous… maybe.

I grip the steering wheel tighter, sorting through my warring emotions. Do I come out and tell her how I feel, or would that be the signature on the death certificate of this relationship?

Keegan starts to say something, but the ringing of my phone cuts her off. It’s lying face down, on the console. When I pick it up to check the caller I.D., I see it’s my dad. My body tenses, and I drop the phone back down, ignoring the call. I don’t fucking need his shit right now. I’m assuming it’s his weekly call, to remind me of his stipulations. His ass can wait.

A few seconds after the ringing stops, it begins again.

I mutter, “Fuck,” and slap the wheel. Never looking at Keegan, I answer the call.

“Hello,” I say, grinding my teeth.

I turn onto our street as my father slurs in my ear. I glance at the clock. It’s four o’clock on a Saturday, and he’s drunk. Yet another reminder why my brothers can never go back to live with him.
