Gabe
My phone rings from the kitchen, and I drag myself off the couch. Just as
I reach for it, the annoying sound stops. Looking at the clock on the
microwave, I see it’s barely 8 a.m. Who the fuck would be calling me at this
time?! I don’t have to wonder for long, though, as my brother’s name lights
up the screen.
“Hey Na-” I begin before I’m cut off by the annoying sound of singing.
“Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you….” Shit, is today my
birthday? Surely not, I think to myself while furrowing my brow. I scroll to
the calendar app on my phone while the incessant singing continues, and
sure enough, it’s my birthday. My 21st birthday to be exact. How the fuck
did that happen? Maybe I should lay off the drinks a bit.
“Gabe, are you there?”
“Yeah, I’m here. Sorry. I was just getting dressed,” I mumble while clearing
my throat, trying to get the roughness out of my voice so Nate won’t worry
about me.
“So, what are you doing later? I know you said you’ve gotta work today, so
ya can’t come here, but maybe I could get a flight over to see you? Spend
Christmas together?” I can hear the pleading in his voice, and part of me
would love nothing more than to accept his offer. Let him come here and
finally spend some time surrounded by family. But what the fuck could I
offer him here?
“Nah, I don’t have time. John’s got me working nonstop. I try my best to
sound cheery. “Have a good Christmas, though.” God, I hope he buys it.
Last thing I need is for him to drop everything, catch a flight, and show up
on my doorstep.
“Oh, okay,” Nate replies, sounding deflated. I’m such an ass. He just wants
to spend time with me – I don’t know why. I can’t do this. I’m such an ass.
He should just move on with his great, happy life and forget about me.
“Anyway, I’m at work, so I’ve gotta go. Speak soon, Nate.”
“Wait, don’t,” Nate starts, but I disconnect the call.
I don’t miss the way his voice is laced with hurt and disappointment, but
he’d be even more hurt if I said yes and let him come here – back to the
house of horrors. Our father may not live here anymore, but his ghost and
the memories of him still haunt these halls.
No. Over there, he’s living the life of a rich kid. I bet he’s got a stack of
presents under the tree and a turkey roasting in the oven. Bet he’s probably
going fucking caroling with the Jacksons or some other shit. Doing all that
Christmas movie bullshit.
