They’d been at the bar for the last few hours, and Toby was good and drunk. Even though they’d been talking about random shit, staying away from the more sensitive subjects such as their asshole, drunken and abusive fathers, there was still the heavy weight of that hanging over them.

“Although I know what your old man did to you, I am sorry about his death.”

Toby nodded, picked up his shot, and tossed it back. “Yeah, well shit happens. I’m sorry about your old man, too. If I had known I would have been there for you, Ace.”

Ace clapped him on the back. “I know, but honestly, a pretty big part of me feels like my dad’s death is on my hands.” The forlorn look on Ace’s face told Toby that this wasn’t something to get into right now.

He lifted his hand for the bartender to bring them another round. When fresh shots were in front of them he thought about all the shit his dad had done to him and his mom. There wasn’t any sadness in him over his dad’s death. In fact, he felt pissed, so full of rage as the abuse from all those years came back to the forefront of his mind.

Before he could finish his drink someone from behind him slammed into his back, tipping over the shot glass. The alcohol spilled along the counter, and his rage grew.

He had wanted that damn shot, and the intoxicated state he was in right now, the memories surfacing through his head, and the images of what had been taken away from him and his mom for so long made this beast inside of him rise. He turned his head and saw some asshole glaring at him.

“Watch it,” the asshole said, and tried to push between him and Ace to get the bartender.

“Are you fucking kidding me?” Toby asked, not hiding his anger. The guy looked at him, his drunken state pretty damn clear, but his attitude and lack of common courtesy making Toby want to beat his ass.

“This is a bar, a place to get drinks, not sit there and stare at the wall, like you and your friend have been doing for the last hour.”

Toby curled his hand into a fist on the counter, and before he could stop himself he turned and slammed it into the other man’s face. This surge of satisfaction filled Toby when the prick fell back and grunted out in pain. He was then out of his seat and hauling the guy off the ground.

“You fucked with the wrong guy on the wrong day, asshole.” Toby hit the prick again, and once more.

The guy started swinging, cursing out foul insults and trying to get the upper hand. But Toby knew how to fight, knew how to handle himself because of the life he had led.

The guy got a hit in, but it wasn’t optimum in positioning and skimmed Toby’s cheek. Toby threw a left hook, and then a right uppercut. The other guy fell back on his ass once more, and it was clear the fight was draining from him fast.
