Head In The Sand

It was one thing after another today.

He was glad his father was fine by the time he left yesterday and wouldn’t need to go babysit him again until his next treatment.

He wasn’t used to being grilled about his personal life and tried to push that off from his mother.

Then to have Ashley come knocking on his door this morning before work to see how he was doing and talk about their father and get updates was something he was shocked about.

His sister tried to put her head in the sand about things and he was used to it. But it was obvious their mother filled her in.

“I’m sorry this is all falling on your shoulders. I should help out more.”

“I’m the best equipped for it and you know that.”

“You sound like a broken record saying that. And it doesn’t mean I shouldn’t help out more,” she said again.

“You’re helping out here. You’re working a lot more than you normally do. You’re doing what needs to be done and taking that stress off of Mom and Dad.”

“Yeah.”

“You look like you aren’t sleeping well yourself.” She had dark circles under her eyes and might have lost a few pounds.

“A lot on my mind. I think I had a rough night after Mom called me. We are both just letting it all fall on you and assuming everything is going to be fine because Dad has always been so strong. I think yesterday was an eye-opener.”

“Then I’m here to tell you to stop closing your eyes. Things hopefully won’t get as bad as yesterday as long as Dad listens to me.”

“But they can get worse?” she asked.

“Anything can happen with a cancer patient. His body has a lot of chemicals pumped into it and his immune system is weak. He just has to not push it. And that means you and Mom have to make sure of that while he’s here. He needs to stay away from sick people and use good hygiene on top of it.”

“We will.”

His sister had left and he finished getting ready and had stopped to get gas when the police SUV pulled in next to him. He knew right away it was Trevor Miles. He hadn’t seen him once since he’d been back and there was no doubt the guy pulled in to specifically talk to Justin.

“Chief Miles,” Justin said with a grin. Might as well act like it was a friendly visit as opposed to being interrogated by the older brother of the woman he was seeing.

“Dr. Cambridge. How’s it going?”

He laughed. “Just Justin will do.”

“Trevor,” Trevor said. “We’ve known each other too long to be formal.”

They’d gone to school together for most of their lives. Just because Trevor was a year behind him didn’t mean they didn’t know of each other. Everyone knew each other and they’d been to the same parties together from time to time.

Justin’s father owned and operated a successful business in Lake Placid. Trevor’s father was the chief of police back then.
