EXCERPT
Carrie
Everything Blake
said washes over me, and with it, the
realizations surface hard and fast. My
best friend’s uncle is a kidnapper. April
is a pawn. They will probably kill
her. There’s nothing I can do. Thank God I
got away, but now I may lose my best
friend forever. And lastly, how did I know
nothing about this?
It all makes
sense, though. This is the reason April’s
mom always kept them away from her
uncle. This is the reason she’s been acting
weird, and this is what made April
so reluctant to go the club. I can’t
believe she wouldn’t tell me something
this big. Maybe she didn’t know? The
thoughts are endless, swirling around my
head. I don’t know where to begin, but I
know one thing: there’s no way I can
be alone. No matter how much I want
to.
“So, where’s
your place then?” I ask him directly, and
there’s immediate relief on his face
that I’m considering
it.
Blake
She’s finally
starting to unwind. I tell myself I should
be keeping notes on the progress of
my witness. But who am I kidding? I’ve been
watching her like a hawk from the
moment I saw her, and it has nothing to do
with keeping witness notes. I’ve
done my fair share of tough assignments in
this job, but this is hard in a
different way. Sticking like glue to the
woman who got away.
She was the first
one to break me back then, and it sucked.
One moment I’m getting up the courage
to ask her out, and the next she leaves for
the entire summer and comes back
acting like I’m the fucking invisible man.
Christ, we were good friends. It was
a waste. I have no idea what I did or
didn’t do. She just never called again. Women.
This is why they have a bad reputation.
This is why we need a manual. Things
break on the inside, and we don’t even know
they need repairing before they
chew us out or take off.
Not long after
it went sour with Carrie, my mom finally
snapped. She caught Dad spending money
on unsavory pussy and left him. Well, she
left us all, really. Brenda and I had
to deal with his rages after that. The
Wiley old bastard made sure he didn’t
take it too far because he needed us.
Without Mom in the picture, he had no one
to pick on. He didn’t want to be alone with
his resentments and pain. I wish
we’d had the courage to leave earlier, but
we needed to hit rock bottom before
we saw there was another way.
Change is like
that. Sometimes shit needs to get utterly
unbearable.
