#Chapter43

Well, that’s a beautiful mess you got yourself into now

Summer blew since I was fighting with Dad, dragging my siblings into it. Austin and Junior had to separate Dad and me. The more we talked, the more we yelled.

The fighting escalated, with Liam, RJ, and JJ stepping in to help me. I will admit I was looking for a fight.

One night, I waited and grabbed a liquor bottle out of the liquor cabinet, with no one noticing. I went into my bedroom, closed and locked my door, then cracked the cap.

/"This is for you, Mike. Bottoms up,/" I said, putting the opening to my lips. I took a drink. Okay, this was nasty, but I didn’t care. I started drinking the contents of the bottle. It didn’t take long until I was half in the bag. When you don’t drink, that happens.

While I enjoyed the numbness of not feeling, my parents saw the liquor cabinet door open. Dad checked and found one bottle missing.

/"Damn it,/" Dad sighed.
