WINONA
“I’m going to fucking kill him.”
My brother crouches down in front of me and lays the cold
compress he just purchased on my swollen eye. It stings like a bitch, but I’m
so exhausted, drained, and cried out that I can’t do much more than wince.
I’m seated on the curb of a gas station, my knees tucked to my chest as
the heavy scent of gasoline and windshield wiper fluid fills my nose. The
duffle bag beside me is full of all the clothes I managed to cram in while Chet
wasn’t looking, though I’m sure I left more than a few things behind in my
haste. I thank my lucky stars it’s warm out. I left in such a hurry, I had no
time to think about changing, so I’m dressed in nothing but a pair of jean
shorts and a thin grey shirt. I don’t even have a jacket with me.
The passing June breeze brings with it the sound of distant traffic and the
chirp of evening crickets from the surrounding woods, but it does little to
soothe the trembling of my hands.
Don’t you dare walk away from me, Winona!
William sighs, gently grasping my chin to get a better look at my face.
His brows are pinched together in a steep frown, his lip curled up in a sneer. I
don’t think I’ve ever seen him more murderous.
“I’m so sorry,” he says gently, which surprises me. “You should have told
me things were so bad. Has Chet hit you before and you didn’t tell me?”
I shake my head quickly. “No, this is… Things just got a little heated.”
“What were you fighting about?” my brother asks as he takes a seat on
the curb beside me.
He’s dressed in a suit, his tie hanging loose, the top button undone. His
light brown hair is windswept, and his forehead is a little sweaty. If I had to
guess, I’d say he dropped everything to meet me here.
“I told him I was going to New York City in the fall,” I mumble softly. “I
got an interview to intern at Sterling Publishing House to work with a junior
editor. They said they were really keen on meeting me because I was one of
their top candidates.”
William’s eyes widen in delighted surprise. He bumps his knee against
mine. “Seriously? Win, that’s great. You’ve wanted to work in publishing
since you were old enough to know what books were.”
