Chapter 15

Well Polish My Nuts and Serve me a Milkshake: HOLY SHIT, I didn’t expect this. To be caught off guard. Extremely surprised to the extent of crapping your pants, at least metaphorically speaking.

Ignoring Crane is like hammering nails into my own knees. It’s an impossible task. It’s been ten minutes since we got in the car and the quiet is agitating me. He breaks the silence first with simple conversation. “I bet it was good to see your brother.”

“It was. He’s changed. He’s bigger, kind of scary looking.”

“He misses you. We talk about you whenever I visit. Last week when I told him you’d come home I thought he was going to ask me to help him escape. He started talking about taking you out and celebrating.”

“Yeah.” It’s all that comes out.

“What did you talk about?” He asks after the hush is unnerving.

“Me mostly.” I keep looking out the passenger side window, hoping to avoid the conversation I know I’m about to have. It’s ridiculous to bottle it up.

“You can talk more next week. We’ll come earlier.”

“I might sit next week out. I think I need to take a few days and figure out what I want to do with my life. It’s not fair to give him false hope if I’m not going to stick around.”

“False hope? What are you talking about? Did he say something that upset you?” Crane looks over and meets my gaze. In that instant I think he knows the truth. I’m not a crier, but there are tears in my eyes. Now I feel betrayed for a completely different reason.

“Why did you let them do it, Crane? You, of all people, could have stopped me. You could have said no. All this time.” I’m shaking. “All this fucking time I thought I wasn’t enough for you.”

He slams his fists over the steering wheel. “Fuck! He promised.”

“Promised what? That he’d never tell me the truth? What you did wasn’t right. I was happy. You knew something like that would force me to leave. How could you do that me? To us?”

He finally stops the car on the shoulder of the highway near a closed pawn shop. He leans against the steering wheel but searches my face as he begins. “Because I loved you enough to let you go. I wanted you to have more than a job with a towing company. You’re an artist, Raims.”

“I can do art anywhere. I can tattoo here in Jersey. You ruined my life.”

“Trust me, I tried to find you. I regretted it from the very moment it happened. God, I hated myself.” He peers out the window. “I even went to Vegas to find you. I figured I could track you down and bring you home, and do whatever it took to convince you to stay with me.”

“I saw you in bed with her. You were naked and kissing her.”

“No. You saw her kissing on me. I wore shorts, and I refused to reciprocate. I was so fucking drunk that night.
