mason day
male, nineteen :BAD APPLE
i sat back in my lawn chair, hands dug into my pocket, and hair sticking up in random spots as the wind blew. i watched the fire, the heat of it quickly warming me up. i wore a plain black t-shirt, and swimming trousers. my feet were bare, and the converse i had been wearing were right by the leg of the chair i was sitting on. i licked my lips quickly, and grabbed my phone replying to the text from my mom. i felt bad for leaving her, i did. she could barely take care of herself since she was left with a broken heart.
when i was about eight years old, my dad's brother died and the two of them were really close. my dad became a major alcoholic. he'd come home massively drunk every night and abuse my mother and i. he ended up leaving my mom for some other woman, who also shared the hobby of drinking. since then my mom was so upset. i remember seeing her cry every night, and felt happy and sad at the same time that my dad wasn't going to come back. cause once upon a time he was the best dad in the world, he taught me how to play soccer. how to be a boy. and then a few years later he became a drunk and left me and my mother to suffer. just like that.
i looked over to hunter, who was just walking onto the beach. charlie and noah were somewhere fighting in the water. and brittany was sitting there quietly. i flicked my hair around and sat up in the chair, with the aggressively terrible posture of mine. "can you play wonderwall?" i asked hunter, raising an eyebrow
