Chapter 12

In the Hillstrom driveway, Mr. H’s matching black BMW was parked next to Mrs. H’s. From inside the house, sounds of frantic battle floated through an open window.

“I’ve had it with you, Brooke!” Mrs. H shouted. “Had it!”

There was male mumbling I couldn’t quite hear. Probably Mr. H saying something, trying to calm things down.

“That’s no excuse!” Mrs. H countered. “Your daughter told our neighbor I slept with my teacher right in front of my face!”

Brooke shrieked, “You told Mike I’m flunking college right in front of my face!”

“It’s not the same thing! Not even close, young lady!”

“If you weren’t high on pills and drunk all the time, I never would’ve known, would I?” Brooke’s voice had a superior air.

“You aired my dirty laundry in front of a complete stranger!”

“He’s not a stranger! He’s our neighbor! We’re friends!”

“Friends?! Ha! I’ve never once seen you talking to him before today! I know what you two were doing! Friends my ass!”

“You have no idea!” Brooke screamed. “No idea!”

I was pretty sure Mrs. H did. She wasn’t an idiot. Was now a good time to invite them to my birthday dinner? That was a joke. Hearing this was painful and confusing. I was torn.

“Neither do you, young lady! Calm yourself down right now! You will not scream at me in my house!”

“I don’t have to put up with this shit!”

“That’s right! You don’t! You’re twenty-one years old! Put on your big girl panties and move out already! Pay for your own damn place like an adult!”

“If it wasn’t for college, I would have years ago! Years!”

“Nobody’s stopping you!”

“Fine! I will!”

“Good luck paying rent on what you make at the animal shelter,” Mrs. H chuckled with disgust.

“I won’t have to!” Brooke screamed. “Once I’m a veterinarian, I’ll make plenty of money!”

“You haven’t even finished community college! You’ve been there three years and what do you have to show for it?! Nothing!”

There was a pause, like Brooke was searching for a response but couldn’t come up with one.

Her mom went on the attack, “What’s taking you so long, Brooke? Why can’t you finish a two year degree like everyone else?!”

“You didn’t! You barely graduated high school!”

“So what? I got my real estate license six months after I graduated! Six months! If you went and got yours instead of chasing your pipe dream, you’d already be making money!”

“I don’t want to be you! I hate everything about you!”

Mumbling from Mr. H.

“Shut up, Brad!” Mrs. H shouted. “Brooke, if you hate me so much, then move out right now!”

“Fine! I’ll go live with Travis! He’ll let me stay free!”

Travis? Wasn’t he the cheating asshole Brooke mentioned earlier? Why would she want to move in with him instead of me? I wasn’t sure, but it sucked to hear. Even so, I wanted to tell Brooke she could move into my room, but I already knew Dad would never allow it.

Mrs. H laughed, “Have fun with Travis! I don’t need to tell you that piece of work can’t stay faithful to his own prick!”

“Oh!” Brooke wailed in frustration.
