My truck roared down the small street. I continued to hit my hands against
the steering wheel as I drove far enough down the dark road to be out of her
eyesight. I slowed to a stop on the gravel pullout a few blocks away and
stumbled out of my truck. The ground was soaked with unforgiving rain and
as I looked into the darkness, I couldn’t see more than ten feet in front of me.
It had only been a few minutes since I left Karina at her house, but the guilt
weighed enough to feel like thirty years.

Reaching for my phone, I called Austin first. My hands were shaking
intolerably, and the rain was soaking my phone as I waited for him to pick up.
“Hey man—what’s up?” he asked in a casual tone. The nonchalant sound of
his voice immediately triggered my anger. Even if I knew both of us did the
right thing, I needed someone to be pissed at and I could hear women’s voices
and music in the background of wherever the fuck he was.
“Your sister found out,” I flatly told him.
Silence.
“Found out what?” he asked. I knew he wasn’t that damn clueless. He was in
shock, not that ignorant.
“Where are you?” I was beyond impatient.
He paused, took a deep breath in before responding. “I’m at Mendoza’s.
What do you mean by my sister found out? Tell me it’s not what I think it is.”
“It’s exactly what you think it is. I’m on the side of the road and I didn’t call
you for a heads-up, Fischer, I called you to tell you that your sister is
devastated and could really use you right now.”
“Did you tell her? I thought we were—”
Before I could help it, my fist slammed against the hood of my truck. “It
doesn’t fucking matter who told her, what are you going to do about her right
now?”
“I don’t even have a car, what can I do?”
“Are you drunk?”
“No . . . ” He was lying. “Yeah, I mean, I’m not sober. But it’s not like I knew
this was going to happen and got plastered so you had to deal with her.
Maybe call Elodie? She should be home—”
I ended the call before he offered another not-thought-out solution.
The rain took a short break, long enough for me to consider driving back to
her house to beg for Karina’s forgiveness, to explain why I did what I did. The
weight of the world pushed against my shoulders as I imagined her at home
alone, sitting in the dark kitchen feeling completely betrayed. I made the
choice when I met her to try my best to take care of her, to make her life
better, easier, but all I’ve done is fuck it up.
