Age Twenty-One
“Yo, little brother,” Logan says on the other end of the phone.
“The fuck you been up to? I was talking to Carter, and he
agrees that your punk ass never calls. You don’t text. Nothin’.”
“Y’all need to find a life besides worrying about me,” I joke, throwing my
duffel bag into the backseat before climbing into my truck. “I’ve been busy
training. Something you’d know about if you played for a real team.”
“Oh, fuck right off,” he tosses back. “We’ll see who’s the better team
when we play you, won’t we? We’ll mop the ice with your asses.”
“Oh, we’ll see all right.”

“Have you talked to the old man lately?” Logan’s voice grows serious. “I
keep thinking, one day, he’ll get better, but I think he’s just getting worse.”
“Not since I was home six weeks ago,” I say quietly. “Been meaning to
call, but, you know … life.”
“Yeah, maybe we can take him on a fishing trip for a few days this spring,
once hockey season is over,” Logan chimes in, sounding hopeful. “I think
he’d like that.”
“Yeah, that’d be good,” I answer, knowing it’s likely never going to
happen.
He’d never leave our house overnight. Since our mom died, he’s done the
same thing every single day. Wakes up, drinks one cup of coffee—exactly
how Mom made it for him—reads the paper, goes to work, comes home, eats
dinner, and watches TV until he goes to sleep. And when we go home to
visit, it seems like we throw his entire routine off, and he hates that. So, I’ve
learned that it’s best for the both of us if I just stay at Brooks University.
“Well, look, I just wanted to make sure you were still alive and all.” He
chuckles softly. “Don’t be a stranger. You’re giving me a dang complex
here.”
“My bad.” I turn the key to my truck’s ignition and listen to it rumble to
life. “I’m headed to the gym. You behave yourself and keep trying to make
that shitty team look better.”
“Yeah, yeah. Fuck you,” he grunts. “Bye.”
“Later,” I say before ending the call and pulling out of the driveway.
Out of the four of us brothers, Logan and I were the ones who took to
hockey at a young age. Eating, breathing, and living for the game. Only being
a year apart also made for some serious competitiveness between him and
me. And those few times a year when we get to play against each other, we
make sure to bring all the shit-talking, just like the good old days.
For Carter, the oldest of us, football was his life. That was, until an injury
took him out his senior year of high school. And Travis, the baby, is in school
to be a doctor. He’s the brains of the family for sure.
