Chapter 8

Seafra

She’s vanished like a ghost. Again. I’ve been looking for her the whole night and Tania had to cancel the concert.

At 3.30 am, Coyote, Hale and I sit on the bench and stare at the sea. The sky is cloudless. A chill creeps under my hoody as the sea waves murmur their eternal song. The moon shines corpse white, a ghastly disc against the velvety blackness of the sky.

“The old woman who owns the flower shop called her Julia not Eavan,” I say.

“She said the girl had quit her job,” Coyote says. “Very fucking strange.”

“I just don’t fucking get it,” I say, putting my elbows on my lap. “She looked happy.”

“It stinks,” Hale says. “I’m telling you, man, it stinks like shit. Leave it.”

“I will call Charlie,” I say.

Charlie is my brother and there is an eleven year gap between us. He’s thirty-five now and works as a private investigator.

He raised me after our parents were stripped of the parental rights due to their alcohol addiction when I was eight. I haven’t seen them since. Maybe they’re dead, I don’t really care. I have no memories of them. Charlie says sometimes that it was really bad, fights, police interventions, the lack of food. I don’t remember anything, but I hate it when people around me argue and raise their voices. That causes a lot of strain between Tania and me as I can be really nasty to her. She’s learnt to deal with me, cutting our fights short.

Coyote and Hale’s parents helped my brother to raise me, but yes, Charlie was my mum, my dad, my older brother, my god, and my everything. He leads the kind of dangerous life and keeps me away from it. Since our band was discovered by Tania during our performance in a dirty pub in the middle of nowhere five years ago, I’ve seen Charlie six times. We call each other twice a month and those conversations resemble interrogations, Charlie asks questions and I answer them. The truth is the band is my family now.

I was happy with my life until I met Eavan. She woke up my yearning for a real family, for a stable relationship, and for a boring normality.

“Leave it,” Hale says. “There will be others.”

“She may be pregnant with me,” I say.

I didn’t plan that. It just happened that each time I came inside her. In fact, I hope she’s pregnant with me, with at least triplets inside her womb so she’ll come to me, crawling on her knees, begging me to marry her.

I’ll be furious with her for a day or two then I’ll marry her and focus on my family.

“You’re out of your mind,” Hale says.

“I am,” I say.

“Let’s get some sleep,” Coyote says. “We have a concert this evening. Then I will think about my advice for you.”

I rise from my seat and pull forward. Coyote and Hale catch up with me. We part and go to our rooms. I sleep for twelve hours.

The boys wait for me outside of the B&B as I walk out of it at 6.
