was a thorn in my ass sometimes. And I knew deep down, Paisley and Star both missed him equally as much, just in very different ways.
“Getting settled in?” I ask her.
“I never thought we would come back to Woodstock. Mississippi just wasn’t for me. I’d rather have the snow than the humidity and gators. I think it is going to be a harder transition for Diesel’s family though.” She admits. A little less than a month ago, the entire family pulled into town with a caravan of rented box trucks carrying all their lives’ belongings.
“I’m surprised he was able to talk everyone into moving north. I’m sure they will all be on their way back down south the minute the snow starts to fall. Actually, remind me to come over for that. I want to see how crazy these people actually go for the white stuff.” I laugh. “I’m glad you are home, kiddo. I hated you being so far away.” I admit in a moment of weakness. Something that has been happening more than I would ever like to admit since my breakdown. It feels good to actually be open with those I care about in my family though. I’m sure they appreciate it just as much.
The more I think about it, deep down I was always a more emotional person that I let on. Being repeatedly broken for so long just made me turn that off, even if I was dying inside all along. Levi helped me, because he started to bring the real Seven James back to life. He gave me a healthy outlet for the emotions I needed to let out all those years.
“Okay Seven… spill.” Star says and I know she has been waiting to hear about all the drama this week has brought. Through vague text messages, I knew it was only a matter of time before her or Paisley started to ask. I didn’t help my case when I offered her the dirt the second I walked in the door either.
“Where do you want me to begin? Family drama or criminal? I mean, either way we are gonna have a little fun.” I joke. How can I not joke about it all? After so many months of peace and quiet, it was only a matter of time before the peace of quiet country life crumbled.
“Start with family, because most of the time that involves us.” Paisley says. Star nods in agreement.
“Let’s go into the bedroom, I don’t want anyone overhearing this.” They both eye me with curiosity.
“I don’t like the sound of that,” Star says closing the bedroom door behind us and clicking the lock into place. Paisley puts Cash down on the floor and I put Marley down to join him. They play without a care in the world while we all climb up onto Star’s ridiculously big bed for our heart-to-heart.
“I got a message on Facebook today.” I let out a sigh, and continue talking. Not really sure how I want to feel about it all just yet. “Apparently my dad has another daughter. This girl came looking for her father and ta-da Daddy dearest is the lucky winner. Now she wants to meet me because she never had any siblings.”
Star and Paisley both look at me with their mouths hanging open in disbelief. I smile and nod, searching for something to say to break the silence in the room. “Her name is Lyric, and she grew up with a single mom somewhere locally. I’m gonna meet her for dinner on Monday night.” The mood in the room is somber as we all just look at each other, wondering who is going to speak first. They can’t hide the fact that they both have a million questions. I can see it all over their faces.
“What about Blu?” Star asks, looking like she’s seen a ghost. I’m sad even bringing the subject up because I know how much damage my own biological brother did to her. I’ve been so thankful that he hasn’t shown his ugly face around the past year.
“What about him? He is nowhere to be found. Better off he stays away.” I reply thinking about what is best for Star in the long run. I don’t miss him nosing around for money and shit anymore anyway. He was never a brother to me and he never would be anything more than a fuckin’ pain
