was forced to be strong for them. But now, it’s my time to be strong for
myself.” ~ Reggie Evans

years later…
The

survive on their own.

lives, but will it be the path fate has planned?

Excerpt
My
insides are boiling from my adrenaline-filled rage. I never suspected Jake
really felt the way he does. Stabbing myself in the eye would feel ten times
better than the pain of his words. I couldn’t believe he said that, yet I
could. Jake has always been an asshole; however, this takes the cake. The
moment he spoke his true inner feelings, all I saw was red. He doesn’t consider
me his brother, only a stray Reggie saved.
Reggie
moves to my side and puts his hand on my forearm, squeezing hard enough for me
to take notice. I glance up to his face, and it’s painfully obvious he was also
hurt by Jake’s words. Reggie is probably internalizing it and blaming himself
for this moment, but I think it’s good everything is out in the open.
Jake
is always quite candid when he’s drinking; I’m just surprised it took so long
for the words to fall out of his mouth. However, I’m glad his true feelings are
out. Now we can really move on from this night, and the night will be known as
the one the Evans brothers became no more.
Reggie
clears his throat, as if he’s trying to swallow down the fury that’s settled
inside his body. “Jake,” he says in a quiet, deep tone, “I think it’s time to
leave.”
“You’re
kicking me out?” Jake is baffled. He tucks his flask back into his pocket
before approaching Reggie. “Fine, I will leave. I always knew you were a pussy.
You could never stand up to her… or him, for that matter.” Jake shoulders past
Reggie, snags Delilah’s arm, and walks from the garage, shouting to her to get
the kids as he moves to his car and sits in the passenger seat.
I
stand at the threshold of the door and look at my brother. I’m really not mad
anymore. I feel sorry for him. He’s defaulting to truly harmful words to make
the rest of us feel as bad as he does. In fact, he’s acting like a child.
Jake’s always been dramatic, so I guess I should have expected nothing less.
Yet what he said is unforgettable. I’m not sure how forgiving I can be after
hearing what he said. The hateful words will always be in the back of my mind.
Zoe
and Delilah file down the back steps with all the kids in tow. Delilah quickly
ushers them to the car and straps them in as Jake continues to stare me down,
taking small sips from his flask. He doesn’t know it yet, but he’s about to
lose everything he has unless he has a come-to-Jesus meeting with himself and
changes how he treats Delilah. If she were smart, she wouldn’t stick around for
the aftermath of this night. Jake is bound to be intolerable.
Delilah
falls into the driver’s seat and backs away from the house as we all stand in
the driveway, watching them drive off. I know Reggie feels like he’s watching
his family leave for the last time. ~Drake Evans
