Stevie
My body jolted at the sound of a hushed whisper filling my ear.
“Stevie.”
Disoriented from sleep, I rubbed my eyes and waited for the hazy
figure standing next to me to come into focus. Recognition clicked and
relief seeped into me. It was just Alex.
Fuck. It was Alex.
“Shit. What time is it?” I asked, swiping the drool from the corner of
my mouth and almost spilling the bowl of cereal I had fallen asleep next to.
“It’s 4:37. I waited for you, but got worried when you didn’t show. I
got a ride over here.” She said with a grimace.

“Fuck. We have to go. Now.” I said, shooting up from the kitchen
table as I stuffed my feet back into my beat-up white sneakers.
Sleep evaded me again last night, making a quick power nap at the
kitchen table turn into almost six hours of sleep.
“I’m sorry.” Alex grimaced, pacing back and forth, “I didn’t know
what to do. I mean, I couldn’t just leave you here alone.”
Her heart was in the right place, but she knew better than to come
home alone. Especially during one of Malcolm’s benders. Malcolm had a
routine. We may not count on him as a parent, but my dear stepdad was
always consistent. He was a barely functioning drug addict. He held a job,
albeit a pretty shitty one. Every Friday, he’d get off of work at 4:00 PM on
the dot, pick up his drugs, shoot up, and lock himself up in the house for the
weekend.
Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays were the days we made ourselves
as scarce as possible. We had a system, and I had just royally fucked it up
by falling asleep. Naps during the day seemed to be the only thing that
worked for the nightmares, but I should’ve known better. I just prayed we
both wouldn’t have to pay for my stupid mistake.
Slinging my bag over my shoulder, I grabbed Alex’s hand and
pulled her towards the front door. Passing through the hallway as quietly as
possible, every step we took made my stomach drop a notch further.
Maybe he wasn’t home yet. Maybe if he was, he wouldn’t notice us.
Maybe he’d already smoked and would be too high out of his mind to pay
us any mind. Maybe.
