Hell yes, it's Friday. School, work and Harvey. I really need to have a good day. I have the rest of my finals today and took all morning to study so I am hoping I pass. By time I was done with the last final I thought my brain was going to leak out of my ears. I was really hungry but didn't dear go to the lunch room. I decided to suffer. I would eat before or after work. Maybe Harvey and I will go out to eat.

I had enough time to stop and grab something to eat before I got to work. Friday's were always busy so I had to kind of eat on the run. When I had an hour left and all the returns put back Holden came in. He was by himself and looking fucking hot. He picked out a romantic comedy. I had watched it in the store and really liked it.

"Hey, how's it going?" He asked handing me the movie.

"It's been busy tonight but it is every Friday. Thank goodness it is almost closing time." I said.

"Hot date?" He asked.

"Kind of." I said blushing.

"That's cool who is the lucky girl?" He asked smiling.

"Lucky boy." I corrected.

"Really, that's cool. Does he go to our school?" He asked.

"Yeah, he's a senior." I said.

"Excuse me but could you help me find the new Adam Sandler movie?" Some asked before I could tell him about Harvey.

"Give me one second to finish this and I will be right with you." I said. I finished ringing up Holden and said good bye before going to help the lady find her movie.

The rest of the night went that way and by time I was ready to close I was tired. I hope Harvey didn't have anything to big planned. I would love to curl up and watch a movie to be honest. With a quick clean up I locked the doors and headed for my truck. The bowling ally was down the road so I didn't have far to go. I pulled into the parking lot and waited for Harvey to come out. He was the shoe checker at the bowling ally. He hated the job but his dad got it for him so he stuck with it.

I watched him come out he always took off his work shirt as he walked out the door. I thought it was sexy as hell to watch. He was handsome. Tall, blond hair and brown eyes. He wasn't to built but he had a nice ass body to me. 

"Hey" he said coming to my truck.

"Hey, so who's car are we taking or did you want me to follow you?" I asked.

"I thought we would just go get something to eat and then call it a night. I really need to talk to you." He said smiling at me. The smile seemed fake or forced. I didn't like where this was going.

"You want to drive or do you want me too?" I asked.

"I will" he said.

"Okay" I said getting out and locking up my truck. I followed him to his little car and got in. It smelled just like him. He got in checked his watch and then started the car. Was he timing this?  I really didn't like this. My stomach was in knots. He never acts like this. He drove to Sonic and parked. We looked over the menu but I really wasn't that hungry. So I ordered fries. After he ordered and we got our food he turned and faced me.

"I have been doing a lot of thinking the last month or so and I think I want to leave for college this year. I know I said I would wait but if I go now I can be graduated and starting my career before I turn 23. I really don't want to wait." He said. My heart fell. 

"What about us?" I asked.

"I don't know. I mean I love you but I don't know if I am still in love with you. Our lives are so different and we never see each other as it is. We both work a lot and we don't have any classes together." He said. Nothing has changed since we had started going out. We have both always worked and we have never had a class together. So something else was up.

"So you want to break up?" I asked.

"I think so. Or at least take a break. I mean your great and all but if I am leaving. I will be in Florida in four months if not sooner." He almost whined like it was my fault or something.

"So what you want to start slowly breaking it off so it is easier for me when you leave? You still want to be friends?" I said.

"Something like that. I do care about you. And when you come to Florida next year and if we both are single maybe we can try again." He said.

"Yeah, sure." I said not really buying it.

"So if you want to start dating anyone I am okay with it." He said. So that's it he found someone new. 

"What ever, do you think you can take me back to my truck?" I asked barely holding in the sob that was about to leave my throat. I was almost choking on it.

"Friends?" He asked.

"No right now give me some time. I do love you and right now I don't think it is a good thing to be around you." I said wiping a tear that escaped from my eye away.

"Okay, well text me or email me anytime." He said starting his car. The drive to the bowling ally was long and I just wanted out of this stupid tin can.

I noticed a familiar car in the parking lot when we pulled up it was right by my truck. I also thought I heard Harvey mumble something like oh shit before he pulled up in front of my truck. I got out of  his car still wiping my face and that is when I noticed Holden standing by the familiar car. So it's Holden he's dating. Got it. I quickly walked to my truck and almost made it but Holden stopped me.

"Hey, I thought you had a date tonight." He said.

"Yeah, me too." I said my voice breaking.

"Wait, did you just get out of Hav's car?" He asked.

"Um.. yeah but it's okay." I said opening my door.

"No I don't think it is." He said walking up to Harvey who didn't get out of his car. I heard him yelling something at him but didn't want to stick around to find out what the hell was going on. I started my truck and started to back out but again Holden stopped me.

"Don't go, I want to talk to you." He yelled.

"I really can't right now. I really need to get as far away from here as I can." I said when he made it to my window.

"Then meet me somewhere else. I am not sticking around either." He said.

"Not tonight. Maybe some other night." I said wiping another tear away.

"How long?" he asked.

"How long what?" I asked.

"How long were you and Harvey together?" He asked.

"Three years." I mumbled.

"I will come by your work tomorrow night when you get off and we will talk then. I am sorry. I didn't know." He said sounding sad.

"It's okay, I should have seen it coming." I said shaking my head. I didn't bother even wiping the tear away anymore. I just wanted to get out of here.

"I'll see you." I said and back up the rest of the way before leaving the two of them standing there.

I am so stupid. Why the hell did I think he would be any different? I can not have happeness in my life it is against the plan. Whose plan I don't know but I have been following it for nine damn years why did I even think this would work? I should have known better and stay away like I had first said I would do. I really don't care anymore let fate do as she feel. I am done.

I didn't even bother parking down the street I parked right out in front of the house. I didn't go through the attic I walked right through the house. I throw my rent money at my mom on my way up the stairs. I unlocked my door and closed before locking it again. I striped down to my boxer found my jammy pants and a clean t-shirt. I turned of the lights and crawled in bed where I cried myself to sleep. I was so glad tomorrow was Saturday and I didn't have to work until three.

I woke up around ten, my eyes burned and my chest hurt. I really wish all this would go away. I feel less then empty like my heart had been stomped on and my head was pounding yet I felt numb the pain was actually welcoming because that meant I was alive. I got dressed deciding against showering and cleaned my room. 

"Open the fucking door you fucking asshole." Landon yelled as he pounded on my door. At first I started to freak but then decided to do the unthinkable and open the door.

"What do you want, Land?" I asked once the door was open.

"Mom said you came home being a dick and was throwing shit at her. You don't come in our house and do shit like that to our mother." He yelled coming at me. Lacey and mom were now standing in the hall out side my door.

"You know what asshole fucking hit me. Do you fucking worse. I am so sick and tired of this shit. I throw my rent money at her and if I have to pay rent her I can walk in anyway I want. I am sick and fucking tired of walking around on eggs shells in this house waiting for one of you assholes to do something to me. I am or was a part of this fucking family but I don't even want that any more. I hate everyone of you and if I could I would move the fuck out of here but by law I have to be here. I can't leave until I am 18 and with our mother taking two hundred dollars a month from me I can't afford to do shit. Now let's get the beating and the laughing over with I have to go to work." I shouted. I think I shocked them. None of them said a work. Landon was just looking at me like I had lost my mind. I think I had. Lacey was looking at all of us like she had finally saw us for who we were and dear ol' mom looked embarrassed.

"Wait, what do you mean you pay rent?" Lacey asked braking the silence that fell over the room.

"Ask, your mother. I have been paying to live here for five years now. She ups my rent every year." I said pointing at our mom.

"Why is he paying rent?" Landon asked shocking me.

"I didn't want him here. So I make him pay to stay." She said in a whisper.

"He's your child." Lacey said.

"He's your dad's child." mom said.

"No he isn't you gave birth to him. He is a part of us. Just because he looks like dad doesn't make him dad's. He is Lucas not dad." Lacey yelled.

"You make him pay you money to live here and you treat him like shit. You lie about him and make me want to kill him. I hate him but what you are doing is wrong. Dad pays child support for all three of us and you still charge him?" Landon asked.

"He should have went with your father. He was his favorite. It was always Lucas this or Lucas that. I am so sick of Lucas that I don't want him here." She yelled.

"That's not my fault. I didn't do anything to make him like me. You have always like those two more. When I was a little five or six you took them to the zoo and left me at home with a baby sitter. Dad came home and was pissed that you did that. That is when he started to spend more time with me. So if anyone is to blame its you." I yelled.

"I remember that, why did you do that?" Lacey asked.

"Because he was a whine baby and I hated it." Mom said she was getting pissed.

"Lucas never whined." Landon said surprising me again.

"Oh so your taking his side in this now?" She asked Landon.

"Yeah, I think I am. I mean you have been taking from him and treating him like shit all his life. Your his mother. What kind of mother does that shit? How long have you been paying her all that money?" Landon turned to me and asked.

"It started out at fifty a month and then when I started out at working as a stock boy and shit it went up to a hundred and when I moved to the video store it became two hundred. So for about two years it has been two hundred a month." I said. 

"So you get the two hundred from him plus the four hundred from dad a month from him that is six hundred dollars a month you make off Luc alone. When was the last time you sent money on him?" Lacey asked.

"She hasn't. I buy my own food, pay my own bills and bought my own car. I take care of me. I have been doing it for about nine years now." I said shocking both Lacey and Landon.

"You said you bought his truck. And you said that his phone and insurance was on our plans." Landon said.

"So what, you beat the shit out of him every chance you get. And you, you make fun of him and embarrass him every chance you get. I am not the only one that does shit to him. None of us want him here and I can't wait for him to leave." Mom said.

"I am finding dad. I am taking Luc and we are going to live with him. You are not going to keep treating him like this neither one of you. What you both do could put you in jail and if it continues I will be the one making the call." Lacey said looking at Landon and mom.

"No worries here, I think I might come with you too dad's." Landon said shaking his head.

"So what now your taking his side. Your going to leave me over him too?" Mom yelled and honestly looked scared.

"What do you mean leaving because of him too?" Landon asked.

"You dad left because of him. He said he was being unfairly treated and he wasn't going to stick around to watch it. So he left." She said and started to cry.

"That means dad left because of you. You are the reason he left. You are the one who treated Luc badly. And then you told us dad left because he couldn't stand Luc. We hated Luc because we thought he was the reason dad left." Landon shouted scaring me and mom both.

"So what, you were there both of you. He always babied him." She said pointing at me.

"Because you didn't you babies us. We have always been your favorites. You would always say these are my twins and this is Luc. Never here are my triplets or these are my children." Lacey said looking shocked for remembering that. I remember it but it didn't bother me as much. I was raised that way.

"Whatever you two turn against me too. Why not. I want you out. You have 24 hours to find a place." She said yelling at me.

"No mom, nice try but you do that and I will call CPS on your ass. Luc can stay until his 18. You have no reason to kick him out and he is not paying you rent anymore. I am done I told you guys that. You will both start treating him with respect or I will make sure you both pay for it. You see I started to remember stuff the way it happened and I realized that Luc never did anything wrong and now I feel like the biggest piece of shit because of everything I have ever done to him. I am done so fucking done with this shit and from now on he is going to walk around this house and enjoy the last couple months of his life here until he leaves and if either of you two do anything to harm or make his life hell I will make sure you pay." Lacey said. I was finally believing her. Wow my sister might actually care.

"No problems from me. And I will have my friends back off at school." Landon said looking sad.

"Well I am not making any promises." Mom said shooting me a dirty look.

"Grow the fuck up mom. Fuck, you carried him for 9 months you watched over him and took care of him for three years before shit started to change. You know for someone who wanted kids so fucking bad and went through the whole medical shit to have us you are a worthless mother. There a women out there that would be honored to have Luc for a son. And I bet dad would love to see us and have something to do with all of us." Lacey said.

"Fuck him, where has he been for the last nine years?" She yelled.

"Well if you didn't have a restraining order on him I bet he would be here. I bet we would be able to see him. But no you told the courts that you were afraid he would come and take Luc. I know where he is." Lacey said shocking all of us.

"What" The three of us said at the same time but I am sure for different reasons.

"I found the divorce papers. I found dad." Lacey said. "He wanted us all of us." She added.

"What were you doing in my room going through my stuff?" Mom demanded.

"I wanted the truth. Not your truth the real truth. I went to see dad the other night." She said.

"You did?" Landon and I both said at the same time.

"Yeah, he doesn't live far from here actually and he has been trying to keep on us but he isn't allowed with in a hundred feet of us. We meant at the high school football field and yelled back and forth because I didn't want to get him in trouble." She said tears were running down her face. My own cheeks were wet.

"I will hire a lawyer and get the restraining order dropped." I said.

"Dad is working on it. He said he goes to court on Monday, I want to go and show the judge that we want to see our dad." Lacey said. Mom looked devastated. Good bitch deserves to be.

"I'll go" I said.

"Me too" Landon agreed. Holy shit the three of us agreeing on something.

"None of you are going." mom finally said.

"It is after school and we won't miss out on any thing so why can't we go?' Landon asked shooting her a death glare.

"Because I am your mother and I said you couldn't." She said.

"What you going to do ground us? Take away our phones and cars? We will just use Luc's he bought and paid for them himself and you can't do shit about it. Your name is not on any of it." Lacey said.

"You are not going and that is final." She snapped.

"Okay that's fine. I have to work anyways." I said giving Lacey a look.

"I still want to go but I do have that hair appointment I can't cancel again." She said looking really upset.

"Well I am fucking going and there is nothing you can do to fucking stop me." Landon said giving her those eyes again. 

"No your not." she said getting in his face.

"What are you going to do mommy dearest, huh. You no I do what i want even if you tell me no." He said in a scary calm voice.

"If you go you will not be my son anymore." She said.

"That's fine. Luc hasn't been your son for so many years and look how hes turned out. He's fine." Landon said laughing. I didn't know if that was an insult or what so I didn't laugh with him.

"Well this has been fun and all but I have to get ready for work." I said looking at the clock it was already two and I had to be there at three.

"You going out with Harvey tonight?" Lacey asked making my heart hurt.

"Um.. no we broke up but I am going out after work." i said not looking up.

"What, you guys have been together for ever. What the hell happened?" Lacey asked.

"I think he wanted to see other people since his date was early and all last night after we broke up. I am actually having coffee with his date tonight." I said thinking of Holden.

"Who is the other guy?" Lacey asked.

"I am not going to say because I don't know if he is out or not so until I find out then I can't say." I said pulling on my work shirt.

"I really liked Harvey." she said sounding sad. Mom and Landon had left while I was getting dressed.

"Yeah, me too." I said trying not to cry again.

"Do you work tomorrow?" She asked.

"Yeah, my next day off is Monday actually." I said smiling at her.

"Cool we should skip school and hang out." She said.

"Maybe, I will let you know." I said not sure I wanted to but in a way I really did. I wanted to get to know my sister and even my brother. I was afraid to meet my dad so i wanted them with me.

"I will let you know tomorrow." I said pulling my shoes on. I really needed to leave for work.

Lacey and I said good bye and I walked out of the house and to my truck without anything happening to me. I really like this way of getting around.
