New Orleans, Louisiana
It was the rain.
It rained a lot in Louisiana at this time of year, but tonight it was nothing
short of a deluge—so loud on the roof that it muted the sound of Hunter
Gray’s boots as he paced in his room.
He would look back to this evening as the night angels cried, but there
was no warning of what was already in motion. For him, it was a night like
any other night in his eighteen years of living.
His dad worked on the docks, and always came home from work drunk.
His mother was drawing unemployment, and was already into her third
beer of the evening.
Hunt was in his room, thinking about his girl, Lainie Mayes. He lived for
the times they were together. They’d had a plan during the entire senior year
of high school. All they were waiting for was for her to turn eighteen.
Hunt had a full-ride scholarship to play football at Tulane University, and
Lainie would be following in her mother’s footsteps at the same university,
pledging her mother’s sorority. As a legacy pledge, she was a shoo-in.
But Hunt and Lainie lived in two different worlds.
Her father didn’t come home drunk. He was a very well-to-do
stockbroker. Her mother wore high heels to the supermarket, and had a
housekeeper named Millie, who kept order in their world.
Hunt and Lainie were at opposite ends of the socioeconomic scale, but
their real burden was the hate their fathers held for each other.
WHEN CHUCK GRAY and Greg Mayes were thirteen years old, Chuck’s
mother married Greg’s father. The boys’ dislike for each other happened at
first sight, and being forced to live under the same roof only made it worse.
It carried through every aspect of their teenage years, until Chuck’s mother
died right after he graduated high school.
Chuck wound up on the street, and Greg was on his way to college, with
all the trimmings. Chuck was bitter and homeless, which only added to the
hate and resentment between them, until years later, when fate dealt them
another low blow. Their children fell in love with each other, and the war
between them began anew.
THE CRACK OF a dish hitting the wall stopped Hunt in his tracks. He shoved
his hands through his hair, and dropped down onto the side of his bed,
listening to the beginnings of another fight. Curses were flying. More dishes
were breaking.
He waited in silence as sweat ran from his hair, beaded across his upper
lip and ran in rivulets down the jut of his jaw. He often wondered how he’d
even been born into this family. He didn’t look like them, which had been
another bone of contention between his parents, to the point of Chuck
claiming in one drunken rage that his wife had been unfaithful.
That’s when Brenda pulled out an old family photo of her Cajun
grandfather, Antoine Beaujean, and shoved it in her husband’s face.
“Look! This is Papa ’toine, and it’s like looking at Hunter’s face. Our son
is just a throwback, and you’re a jackass,” Brenda said, and helped herself
to another beer.
