Big Guy (2008)
“I have no idea what to do but I’m not sticking around. For a second I look at the computer and imagine telling Ethan about what just happened. There’s a weird empty ache in my gut whenever I think about him.
So don’t think about him, I tell myself. Think about what to do.
I cram a few cd’s into my backpack. I can’t possibly pack up all my stuff now. I’ll have to get boxes and come back. Where would I put it all, anyway? My car? I don’t even know where I’m going.
One thing I do know is that I do...n’t want to be here when Dad gets back. Right now I don’t care if I never see him again. Don’t get me wrong—if he decides to apologize, I’ll listen. I can’t see it happening though. Dad has never said he’s sorry for any of the things he’s done. I don’t think he knows how. I sling my backpack over my shoulder and head out.
On the living room floor, something catches my eye. The torn pieces of Ethan’s picture, just lying there where Dad dropped them. I hesitate, and then I pick them up.MoreLess
