I couldn’t tell if the rhythmic thudding came from the laptop keys or my
pounding headache. If I didn’t finish the psych paper and turn it in before
eight o’clock, I’d have to take the grade reduction. Quietly. Stoically. Like a
man. I snorted and reached for my coffee mug only to find it empty.
Maybe I should have invested in a small coffee maker for my room
instead of relying on the overworked machine that came with the place. My
two roommates shared my coffee addiction. If I made a pot, they’d appear
in minutes and fill their huge travel mugs before disappearing again. I
couldn’t really blame them. I made better coffee than they did, and they had
no problem sharing theirs when I needed a quick boost.
Shaking my head, I turned back to my paper. It was the final bit of
work to finish before the winter break. Edit the last section. Include the
footnotes for the academic research. Write a quick conclusion. If the
professor got that far, they probably wouldn’t have the energy to mark me
down for a dull summation paragraph.
At least I hoped not. I sent the file and got up to flop down again on my
unmade bed. Sleep was for the weak, right? That’s what my father had
always told us growing up. Now, my oldest brother had an ulcer and a fiftyhour work week at a financial firm in Boston. My other brother shot a great
big middle finger to the world and headed to Wyoming to serve drinks in
the bar at a dude ranch. I’d be a youth mental health counselor after I got
my master’s degree in May. At least I would be if I managed to turn in all
my papers on time.
It certainly wasn’t the type of future my parents had envisioned, but my
choice of career wasn’t the only thing that didn’t slot into their neat idea of
life. After their second son became a whiskey-slinging cowboy out west, it
didn’t seem like such a big deal if the third liked men and wanted to help
traumatized kids. Over the years, my family became more like an old friend
group I hadn’t seen since high school. Nice, but not particularly interesting.
None of us had much in common besides our last name and red hair.
A door down the hall thumped closed, and Emilio shuffled down the
hall toward the living room. He and Dave weren’t bad people to share a
rental with, but we didn’t spend time together outside of occasionally
meeting up in the kitchen to drain the coffee pot. Part-time childcare didn’t
pay enough to afford my own place. I did my best to keep the student loans
as small as possible. It wasn’t like youth counselling was a ticket to the high
life.
I flopped back on my bed, pushed my hair out of my face, and
stretched out to wrap my fingers around the bed frame. My vertebrae
crackled, and the ache that had settled into my lower back began to fade.
Just as I started to consider falling asleep, my phone vibrated on the
nightstand, and I rolled over to check the message.
