Chapter 5 - Trinity

The subject of my car kept weighing on my mind throughout class.

I’d been putting off taking it in, just because I was busy with school and it was convenient to ride back and forth with Maggie.

I could walk to work. Making that sort of adjustment was a slippery slope, especially when I depended on someone else.

What if Maggie got sick? Or I needed something at night while Dad was at work?

Odds were, he would be, too. That’s where he always was these days.

I had two morning classes, and would normally eat lunch at the library and spend a few hours studying before my third class.

During my break, I used my phone to look up garages in the immediate area.

I could walk there it if was close enough, then have them pick up my car, and get it done.

The closest one closed its office at four, and my third class didn’t end until four-thirty.

I considered waiting, but knew I needed to just get this done.

Otherwise, my car would be sitting in my garage forever, and I’d be getting rides everywhere from someone else.

The garage was four blocks from school, and it was a nice day. As usual, my thoughts went to Angela.

They always did when I wasn’t busy thinking about something else.

At school, at work or while I was studying, I could think about something else.

While walking four blocks, there wasn’t much else to do.

When did I first find out she’d been sneaking around with that damned motorcycle gang?

A few months before she died.

She had been secretive for the first time in her life, but normally, up until that time, she’d been the poster child for “too much information.”

But then, she’d had nothing to hide. She was the purest, sweetest soul I’d ever known.

When Mom left, Angela had tried so hard to hold everything together.

Always cheerful and optimistic, she was the one who took care of Dad then, even though she was only ten.

Making sure he ate and encouraging him to rest. I was the older sister—at thirteen—but the baby of the family was keeping things in line.

I had too much anger toward Mom to care much about whether Dad ate dinner or not.

I tried to take care of him, now that Angela was gone.

I tried to do it for her, the way she did back then.

She should have been starting her freshman year of college, not rotting in a grave. She was too young and too special. Too loved.

How could she be gone?

I was still thinking about her when I arrived at the garage, and quickly blinked away the tears that were threatening to spill over.

I had no idea where to go—Dad had always done this stuff for me.

I met the manager of the garage who sent me to one of his mechanics. He had his head under the hood of a car, so I walked over to explain my problem.

He stood, turning to face me. My jaw nearly hit the ground, and my face instantly flushed red.
