My momma taught me not to hate people. You could dislike someone, disagree with them, or just downright not stand them, but hate was a word my mom only used to describe the devil and Alabama football. But, I had used the word hate to describe my feelings for Brian more than once today. I fucking hated him. Molly wasn’t a crier and I knew it, but seeing her in tears for the third time in one night was enough to send me into a rage. With every tear she shed, the fucking fury inside me, directed toward Brian, grew a little more. I wanted to believe that if I knew where he was, I would go break his damn face open, but I knew that wasn’t true. I couldn’t leave Molly. Especially when she was about to lay it out for all of us. I needed answers. I couldn’t begin to fathom the pain she had been going through alone. But I knew the fury I had inside me was going to grow.

After Molly cried her last tear, I followed her into the living room. Justin and Wynee were sitting in the recliner together, so I took a seat on the couch next to Molly.

“Beer anyone?” Justin moved Wynee off his lap and stood, turning to walk toward the kitchen. Wynee and I both said yes, but Molly didn’t answer. That’s when I had a moment of realization. I had never seen Molly drink. All the nights at the bar, the nights in her own house, I had never once seen her drink. What kind of 22-year-old girl doesn’t drink?

“Hey, Cookie, you want one?”

“Um, no. I … well I don’t really drink anymore.”

“Anymore?” So that meant she had drank at one point in time, I had just never seen it.

“Yeah, anymore. I quit when I got pregnant with Lyric and just never picked it back up.”

“Any reason why?”

“Let’s just say that some people shouldn’t drink, and I happen to be one of those people.” Molly huffed out a breath and pushed herself off the couch before turning her back to me without a second glance and walking into the kitchen. That was Molly’s way of saying conversation over.

What the fuck had I done now? It was honestly just a question. I didn’t understand why she didn’t drink. I was just trying to figure it out. I felt like every time I took a step forward with Molly, I ended up taking two Shaq-sized steps back. I looked at Wynee with what I’m sure was a slight pleading look in my eyes. Wynee was the only person I knew who could decode the Molly code.

“It’s nothing you did, Logan. She used to drink, a lot. She actually did a lot more than just drink. Molly didn’t inherit a lot from her mom, but she did inherit her addictive personality. Right before she got pregnant with Lyric, she realized how downhill her life was headed. So being the determined little hellion she is, she quit drinking and all of her other extracurricular activities, cold turkey.
