JOEY
“YOU’RE FIERCE QUIET, JOEY SON.”
“I’m grand, Tony.”
“Are you sure? You’re as pale as a ghost and haven’t had a whole pile to
say for yourself all week.”
“It’s all good.”
“You and Aoife haven’t…” He let his words trail off, but kept his
worried eyes on me, waiting for an explanation.
“We’re grand, Tony,” I fed him the lie he wanted to hear before turning
my attention back to the ratchet in my hand. “Everything’s grand.”
“Thank Jesus for that.” Relief flashed in his eyes. “Then you wouldn’t
happen to have any idea what’s after getting into her? She’s walking around
the house with a face like thunder.”
“No clue.” Liar.
“Really?” He scratched his jaw in confusion. “You’re usually the first to
know when there’s drama.”
“Think she had a fight with Casey over the Christmas.”
“Did she now?”
I couldn’t explain why the words ‘we broke up’ refused to come out of
my mouth. Or worse, why I lied and placed the blame on her best friend
instead, but I did it. “Yeah.” I nodded, following through on my bullshit. “I
think I heard something about that.”
“Jaysus, it must have been one hell of a fight,” he stated, watching me
from the other side of the car we were working on. “She’s been hysterical
for days now. Crying herself to sleep most nights.”
Fuck. “She has?”
Her father nodded.
My heart sank into my ass. “Jesus.”
“You should have a word with her,” he added, turning his attention back
to the task at hand. “She listens to you. Get her to patch things up with
young Casey before she floods the house with tears.”
“Yeah, I’ll, ah, I’ll call her after work,” I managed to squeeze out,
though it was hard to breathe let alone talk.
Because this was on me.
Molloy’s tears were on me.
This whole damn mess was a result of my inability to resist the pull of
my fucked-up DNA.
Feeling like my heart was constricting to the point of explosion, I set the
ratchet down and moved for the back door. “I’ll be back in five.”
“Pack those damn cigarettes in for the new year,” he called after me, but
his tone was jokey enough.
Either way, we both knew that I wasn’t going to quit.
Not when I had already given up so much.
Slipping out back, I placed the cigarette balancing on my ear between
my lips and grabbed a lighter from the pocket of my coveralls.
Sparking up, I inhaled a deep breath and sagged against the wall at my
back, feeling a million different emotions rushing through me.
Exhaling a cloud of smoke, I fought an internal battle with myself to not
throw in the towel and do exactly what I knew I would. In the end, it was
only a matter of minutes before I grabbed my phone – the same phone that I
had to pry from my brother’s fingers this morning.
