Nate growled as the knocking on his trailer pulled him from sleep. He’d broken his no-drinking rule last night. He’d felt justified. His life was going to shit anyway so why not drown his sorrows and do a little bit more damage to his liver? At least the alcohol numbed the pain enough so that he could sleep.

The banging on the door started up again and he sat up. Pain speared through his head and his stomach roiled. God. He felt like shit. With a groan, he pushed up off the bed and pulled on a pair of sweatpants. It was probably Mabel. She was always on his fucking case about something. They were supposed to be leaving today, so she was probably impatient to get on the road.

He flung the door open. “What?”

“You look like hell.” Darla. Not Mabel.

He sighed and leaned against the doorframe. “What do you want, Darla?”

“Can I come in for a minute?” she asked trying to peer past him into the interior of the trailer. “Or do you have some sleazy groupie in there?”

He stepped back and swept his hand across him to indicate she could enter. “No one in here but us chickens.”

She climbed the stairs and looked cautiously into the trailer. “No skanks?”

He sighed and sat at the table. He closed his eyes and leant his head back against the seat. “There’s no one here, Darla. What the fuck do you want?” There was no heat in his tone, just resignation.

She sat down across from him and took time to really look at him. Nate squirmed under her examination.

“Well at least you look worse than Stevie does.”

He didn’t answer. How could he? What would he even say?

“What the hell, Nate?” Darla said, slumping back into the seat. “I told you not to hurt her. I warned you I would come for you if you did.” She huffed out a sigh. “I really thought that you finally had your shit together. I believed you’d grown up and that you finally saw Stevie for who she was. Then you had to go and piss it all away, and for what?”

“Darla—”

“No, really. For what?” She sat up in the seat and leaned forward as she warmed to her subject. “What crawled up your ass and turned you back into the chicken shit that you were five years ago?”

Nate screwed his eyes closed and tried to think past the pounding in his head. Would Darla even understand how he felt about Stevie? Would anyone? They all saw him as such a fuck up and he doubted that anyone would believe that he was actually trying to do the right thing this time.

“You wouldn’t underst—”

“Try me, asshole,” she spat. “That is my god-dammed best friend and you’ve ripped her fucking heart out. Not once, not twice, but three fucking times now. Give me a reason not to shoot you in the balls because I am damned close to doing just that.”

Nate dropped his head in his hands. “I’m doing it for her,” he mumbled.
