I had purposely got up early and out of the door before Gracie woke up. I couldn’t face her, not after the way I treated her last night. Yes, I was wasted, but that didn’t mean I didn’t remember. Not only that, I wasn’t ready to talk about yesterday, and I sure as hell was not prepared to tell her that Matty was my damn half-brother! I don’t know what was worse, seeing that bastard again or finding out about Matty. I was in no mood for school today, and I knew if Gracie were awake before I left, she would have talked me into going in. I wasn’t ready to go back, and I sure as hell don’t want to see Matty because I may end up punching the fucker.
