Fifteen Years Ago

Goob:

The snow had just started falling for the year. I was so excited because school was canceled that day. Little did I know, while my mother was walking me out to the car, that I wouldn’t have to go to school for a long time.

The man sitting in the driver’s side of the black SUV didn’t look like any guy I’d ever met in my life before. He was skinny and wore a stupid looking gold windbreaker jacket. His hair looked like it was covered in grease and he had a tiny ponytail and one gold earring shaped like a lightning bolt. He looked like the kind of guy my dad would beat up. I wonder why he didn’t?

My dad didn’t argue at all, he just helped carry my bags out to the car and buckled me up in the back seat.

“Be good for your mother,” he said, giving me a hug.

“I want Aunt Trixie!” I yelled. “I want to see Heat!” I wanted to say goodbye to my family so that they knew I didn’t run away and they wouldn’t worry about me. “Mom!” I screamed, kicking the back of the seat of the car.

“They know you’re going to come hang out with me for a little while, Goob. It’s alright. You’ll see them soon.”

“Can they come over and visit?”

“Sure,” she says. She lights up a cigarette and gets in the passenger seat. My dad shuts the door behind me before I can say anything else. I see Esther standing in the doorway of the clubhouse crying. My dad goes to hug her and she shoves him into a pile of snow and starts running after the car, but it’s too late. I try to roll down my window, but it’s locked.

“I can’t breathe!” I scream. I don’t know what’s happening. All I know is these two strangers are taking me away.

“Is he always so whiny?” the creepy man asks.

“How should I know? This was your idea, Larry.”

We drive down the side of the mountain and I try and think of how I’m going to make my great escape. I don’t know where I would go if I jumped out of the car right now. My dad obviously doesn’t want me. My family thinks I should go with my mom. The only person that doesn’t see anything wrong with this is Esther, and what does she know? All she does is cry.

Now I want to cry. I’m scared. I thought moms were supposed to want to hug you and take care of you, but she’s too busy digging around in her purse to pay attention to me. Maybe she has some snacks in there.

“I’m hungry,” I whine.

“Of course that idiot didn’t feed you. That’s just like Moses. You’re going to have to wait,” my mom says.

“I have to go to the bathroom.”

“You’re going to have to hold it,” Larry yells. “I’m not stopping this car til we get out of this redneck butt-fucking town. This place gives me the creeps.
