I KNEW this day was going to be difficult; it was the hardest day of each
year, no matter how many had passed, but the heartbreak never failed to
take me by surprise. From one year to the next, I kept waiting for the pain
that came every time my little brother’s birthday rolled around to stop
feeling like a white-hot poker being stabbed beneath my ribs, but that never
happened.
This year, however, was exceptionally worse. When I’d woken up this
morning, after the haze of sleep wore off and realization kicked in, the
memories created an agony so intense it could have kept me in bed, curled
up in a tight ball, all day long. It had taken everything in me to keep from
falling down a deep black hole of misery and sadness. The pain in my heart
had been almost physical—a stabbing, burning, throbbing thing that only
got worse with every passing moment. But I’d still managed to drag myself
out of bed. I’d gone through the motions of getting ready for the day and
forced myself into the town’s public library where I worked.
Every minute was its own special kind of torture, having to go through
the motions, wearing a fake smile and pretending everything was just
peachy, when in reality I was trapped in my own personal hell. Yet,
somehow, I managed. The seconds ticked by slower than usual, time
moving at a snail’s pace until it felt like the day would last an eternity, but,
damn it, I’d managed. I was giving myself that win.
I knew going home wasn’t an option. If I was left to my own devices,
I’d fall right back into that pit of despair, and there was no telling how long
it would take to pull myself out of it. As much as I didn’t feel like being
social, I also didn’t really want to be alone either, so I settled on the next
best thing.
I’d drink until I was numb, then, if fate felt like being kind, I’d pass the
hell out for the remainder of this godforsaken day.
I wasn’t surprised to see so many cars in the parking lot of Bad Alibi
when I pulled in, even thought it was the middle of the work week. The
place was a popular hangout for locals as well as people from the
neighboring towns. It wasn’t packed to the gills like it usually was on the
weekends, but the crowd was plenty big enough to line the waitresses’
pockets nicely.
“Lyric! Hey.” Speaking of waitresses, I turned just in time to offer a
smile I hoped was believable to my friend, Farah.
“Hi,” I greeted while glancing toward the bar from the corner of my
eye. “How’s it going?” My attempt at small talk was lame, at best, but it
was all I could manage at the moment.
