Chapter Seven – Maddox

We didn’t get on the road as early as my brother wanted, and it was true, it was mostly my fault. Hey, I didn’t say I’d go with him. I didn’t fucking volunteer myself for this little trip. Sylvester had told me I was going with him, and that was that, apparently. I couldn’t say no, even if I wanted to.

And fucking trust me, I wanted to.

So, yeah, I slept in a little. I also made us stop for breakfast and had about five cups of coffee at the diner, which meant we had to stop for piss breaks more often than Sylvester would’ve liked. It took us a lot longer than it should’ve to get there… mostly because I didn’t want to get there.

Hell, I didn’t even know where it was, not really. If my life depended on finding that miserable little town on a map, I’d be dead. Just dead, right there. Although, if someone was holding me at gunpoint to force me to tell them where my father was, I’d question their sanity before they killed me, because who the fuck wanted to find that old, washed-up has-been? Definitely not me.

I didn’t want to see him, that much should’ve been clear. If Sylvester wanted to talk to him, to see if he knew anything or could help us, he could’ve gone on his own easily. But no. He just had to drag me along for this stupid fucking family reunion. I would’ve rather him tied me up to a chair and tortured me to the point where I lost consciousness.

As far as I was concerned, my father was dead to me. Fucking dead to me. Just dead. I mean, who the fuck just left their kids when a fucking war was going on? Honestly, our father had always been stupidly idealistic, but I never once imagined he’d give up and run away and leave someone else the mess to clean up.

But that’s exactly what he did, and I’d never forget that.

When we got to the town, I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at it all. The small town feel. The one-way streets. This place’s downtown was like a fucking drop on a map, barely big enough to be labeled. One grocery store. One gas station. A few little eateries but nothing with a name you’d recognize.

It was all so dreary and boring. I didn’t understand how anyone could like living here. I mean, I guess if you grew up knowing this sort of life, you might be fine with it when you were older, but I’d much rather live in the city alleyways than this dump of a town—and I meant full offense to everyone who liked places like this.

“When we see him,” Sylvester was busy saying, not for the first time during this whole drive, “be nice. Don’t be a dick. He’s still our father, Maddox.” He made a right-hand turn, taking us away from the so-called town and out into the true boonies.
