The doctors will fix her right up. Your ass should be in Belleville at practice this morning. How the fuck did you get up here, anyway? I know that bitch of yours has your piece of shit car because she\u2019s always coming by my goddamn house when I\u2019m not there.\u201d The man\u2019s sneering condescension was a kick in the gut to me. Was this stress, or was this what Cade always dealt with from his father?<\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t fathom either of my parents speaking to me or my brother that way, no matter how much they disagreed with us. Hell, as a kindergarten teacher, my mom\u2019s first response to anything was to offer comfort, even in conflict. I\u2019d always known how lucky I was to have parents who loved their kids as much as mine did.<\/p>\n

But something about what Cade was going through right now made me hyperaware of just how shitty things could be for someone, and you would have no goddamn clue what they were going through. A brief pause preceded Cade\u2019s answer. I wished I could see the expression on his face to know how he was reacting, as his tone was completely neutral, void of any emotion. \u201cUh, yeah, Kait does still have my car,\u201d Cade began, making no mention of his father\u2019s insulting words.<\/p>\n

\u201cI managed to get a ride up with someone coming this way. Mom had a fall bad enough to need emergency hip surgery. I wanted to get up here as fast as I could to make sure that I saw her before they took her in.\u201d \u201cAll those stuck-up assholes you had for teachers must have been lying to your mom about you being smart, otherwise you\u2019d already know that life isn\u2019t fucking fair.<\/p>\n

You know you got a spot with the Hammerheads by the skin of your teeth. We were lucky enough that you managed to fool them into thinking you were worth a goddamn thing. You finally have a chance at the kind of money to pay me back for all the work I put into you to get you where you are. And what do you do? Go AWOL from the team and fuck everything up, you little piece of shit.\u201d The rage that sparked inside me grew into an inferno.<\/p>\n

How fucking dare a father talk to his son that way? It was like my brain disassociated from reality for a few seconds, my thoughts obliterated by a kind of aggression that I\u2019d never felt anything close to. I edged toward the end of the wall where the two hallways would combine. I just needed to see Cade\u2019s face. It was a complete invasion of privacy.<\/p>\n
