Chapter Thirty
After a long ride on my motorcycle, I returned home to Reese in my driveway, hands balled, jaw clenched. She was supposed to be on a plane.
She yelled something as I parked in the garage and removed my helmet.
âWhat are you doing here?â I asked, returning my helmet to the cabinet.
âDid. You. KNOW?â
I hadnât seen her so angry, and that said a lot because I had been her greatest source of anger quite a few times.
âJesus, Reese.â I turned toward her, unzipping my jacket. âWhat the hell is going on?â
âDid you know that my mom is a lesbian? Gay. Homosexual. Are you understanding me now?â She shook her head and clawed at her hair.
It wasnât the woman I knew. It was her Bible. A poisoned congregation of judgmental people telling her what was right and wrong. It didnât anger me as much as it ripped at my heart. She was broken, and I couldnât fix her. No one could fix her. Only time could peel away at the layers of false ideas, the years of brain washing. I wasnât an expert on God, but I couldnât imagine him not loving every single one of his âchildren.â That was how I was raised.
âDid I know your mom and Rose are together? Yes.â
âHow could you?â she seethed.
Oh, Reese, what the hell did they do to you?
âHow could I what?â I planted my hands on my hips, eyeing her carefully.
âNot tell me!â
âRoryâs personal life is not mine to share.â
âRoryâs personal life? Are you kidding me? Sheâs my mom!â
âYour point?â
âI walked in on them. In the shower. My mom and her girlfriend. The friend who just happened to be in Colorado after having been a âclientâ of hers in Nebraska. She cheated on my dad. Thatâs why he divorced her.â
Reality could be a bitch. Reese needed to deal with that bitch. That was what adults did. They swallowed the fucking truth and learned to deal with it.
âIs that why youâre losing your mind? Because you think your mom cheated on your dad? Or are you upset because Rory is a âlesbian, homosexual, gay?â Because Iâm not sure why youâre freaking the fuck out about this.â
âYou should have told me.â
âAnd what would you have done? How would you have reacted? Like this? I hate to be the one to state the obvious, but your dad died, and thatâs terrible. Your mom went to prison ⦠also terrible. But thatâs in the past. If you want to be a grown-ass adult, then start acting like one.â
âIâm so tired of the age card.â She shoved my chest. I wanted to grab her and hug all the ugly from her. I wanted to cleanse her of the lies. The pain. The anger.
âJust because you donât understand my feelings doesnât make it my faultâa product of my age. Nobody likes being lied to.â
âNobody lied.â
âOmission of the truth is deceptive ⦠a lie.â
Her youth bled through her words. It wasnât her fault. She had so many seeds planted in that head of hers.
