Lane

“Jake! Pick the hell up!” I yelled into the phone as I barreled down the hill faster than I should have been going.

Of course, my fucking brother wasn’t picking up when I needed him to. It had always been a one-way street when it came to us.

Frustrated, I tossed my phone onto the passenger seat.

Screw him.

I drove straight to Pittsburgh’s airport, not stopping for gas, food, or anything. I kept my foot heavy on the accelerator, feeling myself gain control with every push. I was in charge of the car, where I was going, and my own destiny. Not Jake. Not Bess. Not my nightmares.

Fuck ’em all.

My phone rang, startling me as the sound blared through the dark car.

With my left hand and knee on the wheel, I reached over to grab it. Swiping my finger across the screen, I didn’t need to see who it was. It wasn’t Bess. She wasn’t strong enough to call me, let alone survive my lies and nightmares without getting hurt. Not only emotionally, but physically too.

“Hello—Jake?”

“Yeah? What the fuck is up?”

“Oh, I don’t know. My nightmares are back, you little shit. I had them the whole time I was gone, thought it was the hectic travel schedule I’d been keeping. Then I had one last night, when I got in from Spain. No way this was another one-off, no such fucking luck! Fuck you, Jake. You started all this!” I yelled into the phone.

“Calm down, Lane. You’re losing it.”

“Me? I’m fucking losing it? No, you’re gonna be the one losing it because I’m going home. No way I’m staying until Monday to go to Youngstown. You got that?” I said this as I leaned into a curve, the Jeep just about on two wheels, the dark mountains on one side, a straight drop into a ravine on the other.

“Lane, listen, come back to Pittsburgh. Let me buy you a beer and you’ll calm down.”

“Nope. No fucking way, Jake. ’Bye.”

I disconnected the call without waiting for him to answer. I’d had enough.

It was time to go back to my world. Business and bikinis.
