I lift my sunglasses up and place them on the top of my head as I glance
toward the tattoo shop that once I loved hanging out in. King’s Ink. Once,
it was run by my mother’s husband, King Jr, who was also the President of
local motorcycle club, King’s Descendants. The club that was passed down
from his father, King Senior and so on.
I loved this shop when I was about fifteen. Gosh, I used to come in here
and sit on the chairs and watch King tattoo people. He would spend hours
drawing designs and forever putting those designs on people’s bodies. I loved
the way the tattoo gun sounded, the way the shop always smelled clean, and
the way it strangely felt like him. Growing up here, it wasn’t so bad.
Until it was bad.
And everything changed.
I swallow the lump in my throat as I approach the door. I know Alarick
runs the shop now. I also know he runs the club. When King Jr died, we all
knew Alarick would step up. I often wondered growing up if he’d pick a
different path. His father could be a dangerous man and that life could be
tricky, but Alarick took his place, like his loyalty was stronger than his desire
to change the world he lived in.
I wonder, even to this day, why my mother picked King Jr to fall in love
with. I remember the first time I met him as vividly as if it were right here,
right now. I remember thinking that there was no way this was our new
family. There was no way this man, standing in front of me, his body covered
in tattoos and piercings, his beard long and thick, was my new step-father.
He was. And I grew to kind of love him.
With him came the entirety of his club.
Plus his two kids, Alarick and Sissy.
They were both older than Magnolia and me. I was only ten when I met
them, and Magnolia was nine. Sissy was fifteen and Alarick was seventeen.
“Well, well, the prodigal daughter returns.”
I spin around at the sound of a female voice and see Sissy standing
behind me on the footpath. My heart races as I take her in. She never liked
me. God, no, she hated me with a passion. She was jealous and angry and a
troublemaker. She made my life hell, even when I tried to stay the hell out of
her way. I knew coming back here would mean I had to face her, I was just
hoping she wouldn’t be the face I saw first.
“Sissy,” I murmur, crossing my arms and narrowing my eyes as I take her
in.
Not a great deal has changed in the last five years. She would be nearly
thirty now, and she still looks like she’s twenty-five. They got great looks; I
can’t take that away from them. Her hair is dark and long, heavy with curls.
Her body is tall and lean, her breasts big, no doubt fake, and her eyes the
