Addie
Curling her hands around the steering wheel of her Mini Cooper,
Addison stared up at the house that she’d grown up in. On the outside, it
looked to be an upper-middle-class home that you would imagine a happy
family living in, but Addie knew better. She had lived in that house, and
while she didn’t exactly have a terrible childhood, it wasn’t something to
brag about either.

She still didn’t know why she came to family dinners every Sunday. Her
mother had insisted that they have those dinners, and Addie was pretty sure
it was so her mother could brag about how close their family was when she
went to have coffee with her other upper-middle-class friends each
Wednesday. Everything was about appearances with Marlene Jones. Even if
what she told her friends wasn’t the truth.
She was pretty sure her mother’s friends were under the impression that
Addie was a size four instead of the actual size twelve that she was, because
how would it ever be acceptable to have a “fat” daughter? According to
Marlene Jones, it wasn’t.
Addie rolled her eyes and leaned her face forward, resting it against the
steering wheel. Why had she come? Why couldn’t she find the courage to
put her foot down and tell her mother no? Probably because she knew the
outcome of that. It would be endless calls and texts from her mom, telling
her how disappointed she was with Addie for not spending any time with
the family and making her feel guilty by hanging her father’s heart attack
over her head.
You never know how long your father will be alive, Addison.
It was always bringing up her father that made Addie give in and come
to dinner each week. He had suffered a mild heart attack three years ago,
but her mom acted as though he could die any day now. Addie knew he was
healthier now than he was before his heart attack, but she didn’t want it on
her conscience if he did happen to die suddenly.
Dinner would consist of three hours of her mother asking questions and
making digs at her weight, her career, and anything else that she could think
of, which was pretty much anything that had to do with Addison and her
life.
Closing her eyes, Addie thought of all the other things that she would
rather be doing than having dinner with her mother that night. A pap smear
and colonoscopy were at the top of the list. If only doctors were open on
Sundays.
A knock on the driver’s side window startled her, and she let out a
squeal of surprise as she lifted her head. Her brother Jax stood outside of
her car, grinning down at her. The home that her brother grew up in and the
home that she grew up in might as well have been on entirely different
planets. For everything that Addie was criticized, Jax was praised. He was
two years older than her, and according to her mother, he was basically
walking perfection.
