Reed sort of invited me to his talk with his dad, but I still felt like I should be lying low. He told me when and where they’d be talking but that he would do it himself, so I took that to mean he wanted me close but not there. It’d be awkward if I had to face him again. I sighed and rubbed my arms, trying not to flinch at how loud they were.

“You’re thinking with your dick, boy. If that Diana girl had pulled what this Betty chick is, you wouldn’t think it was so cute.”

“Oh please, Diana only liked me because she thought I was as self-loathing as she was. Betty actually cares about me. She’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me and you almost ruined it. I did, too.”

The best? I picked at the skin of my lips, ignoring the sting in favor of the relief.

“I didn’t ruin anything! All I did was say hi and imply that I knew what she was.”

“And what is she, Dad?”

“Come on, don’t make me say it. She seems like a nice girl for that kinda thing.”

“What? What is she? Besides an interesting, smart, sweet, supportive girlfriend?”

“She’s a fangirl, okay? A leather chaser, and maybe even a stalker slut.”

The words made me flinch, much like a slap. Maybe that was what happened in reality, because I heard some kind of rustling in the trailer before JR’s voice carried through again.

“We all get them once in a while, but you fuck them and they go even crazier, slashing tires, burning your lawn down, bullshit. It’s your first girlfriend, kid, and I don’t want you getting into that kind of trouble.”

“Don’t want me getting into trouble? Who the hell was in and out of jail most of my life? Who brought me into his gang? You are such a selfish waste of… You have never once given a thought to what makes me happy. You just had to talk to her. It’s like it’s genetically embedded in you to fuck things up.”

“Yeah, well, welcome to the gene pool, boy. When she cuts your dick off for looking at another girl, talk to me again about how she only cares about your well-being and this was some great romantic decision to trust the same girl who hacked into your laptop and broke into the trailer.”

“What do you mean broke into the trailer?”

“I’m assuming you’re not the asshole who fixed the fire alarm!”

A low, incredulous chuckle slipped through the thin walls of the trailer. “She fixed the fire alarm?”

“You think that’s funny? While you were getting your weird-ass jollies off, I was dealing with a blaring piece of plastic.”

“So your negligence and fire-starting isn’t a problem, but her breaking and entering to fix shit is?”

“Who knows what else she did, Reed? What else she’d do? It’s a bad idea.”

I was bad? Being with me was a bad idea…

My chest ached, hollowing out. I tried so hard to be good. But maybe it wasn’t enough.
