Allie
MY DAD ALWAYS SAID THAT both the best and worst things in life are
unexpected. They’re the moments that change your life indefinitely, and even
if you see them coming, you’re never prepared for the impact. It’s what you
do in the aftermath that matters. It’s how you deal with the crisis—or good
fortune—that defines you.
It’s safe to say I failed miserably in that department.
The needle pricks my finger and I let out a hiss, dropping my jacket onto
the bed before sucking my finger into my mouth. I peer down at my dad’s old
jean jacket, every surface full of colorful patches from his favorite bands.
Social D. Pennywise. Rancid. NOFX. The list goes on. I cut the too-long
sleeves off on a whim, deciding to sew on my sleeves and hood from an old
sweatshirt so I can wear it. I bring it to my nose and inhale, trying desperately
to catch a whiff of his scent. I haven’t worn it or washed it, afraid I would
lose the smell forever, but I think now—more than half a year after his death
—it’s finally gone.
Most days, I’m fine. Other days, the grief is so potent it feels like it was
yesterday.
“Allison!” my mother shouts, her voice child-like even when she’s
yelling.
I pull one of the headphones away from my ear, looking up at her
expectantly from my bed.
“I know it’s your birthday and I’m supposed to let you call the shots, but
are you sure you don’t want to do anything? I have a sushi date tonight. You
could join us?”
I roll my eyes. Yes, I’d love to spend my eighteenth birthday with my
mom and her flavor of the week eating food I hate.
“I’m good.”
I see the relief flash in her eyes, but she conceals it quickly. She doesn’t
really want me to go to dinner, but how would that look if she didn’t at least
invite me on my birthday of all days? Pushing off the doorframe, she walks
toward me. I flip my journal shut, stashing it under my pillow.
“You should go out. Call Courtney and Maddison.” She reaches a
slender hand out to twirl a strand of my hair between her fingers.
I laugh bitterly. I haven’t been friends with those girls since freshman
year when they grew tits and decided nothing else mattered but boys and
parties. “Okay, Mom,” I say just to pacify her.
“Good. I’m going to meditate before my date,” she informs me, standing.
If Snow White and Willie Nelson had a love child, it would result in my mom.
She’s tragically beautiful, soft-spoken, and charismatic. Her smile is
infectious, and everyone loves her. She’s also the biggest pothead I know.
Flighty. Self-absorbed, yet somehow painfully insecure. She’s a walking
contradiction.
