80 as in Adrienne Skye, chapter 4
She hadn't gone to see Billie, but to the park down by the bay. It was a pretty basic park. Cherry blossoms popping off trees and the occasional park bench. Adie had brought her guitar to practice and help her think out loud. Because when she was singing all her problems and thoughts came out in the lyrics. "I always wondered who Dad was. Because every time I'd ask mom she would tell me to go play or that she'd tell me when I was older. I'm older now, and why does Nate know who he is?" Adie asked, sounding even more frustrated. She looked out over the bay as if it held the answers to her questions. Though when she took a closer look she saw nothing, no sign or even a bird to try and steal her sandwich.
As if deciding not to push her luck, Adie got up and began walking. It had taken her a good half hour to walk to the park. Hopefully the battle of the college would be over. She burst in the door with guitar in hand to see Nate lying on the couch. "So, who won the battle?" Adie asked, sitting down right on top of her brother.
"I was winning, then Brad showed up. You know how he thinks he so smart., so he takes over mom's battle and tells her to get out for a while and calm down. Then he says in his stupid tough guys voice 'I'll take care of this.' Then he says 'Lay off your mother, boy. You don't know what she's going through for you' So I say 'Yeah, I do. Because she married you!' He gives me this stupid look like I punched him in the gut, the he slaps me and calls me a drunk. The usual stuff," Nate said, pushing Adie off his gut so that she landed on the floor.
"He hit you? He's never done that before. I thought he was 'Mr. Sunshine Happy-pants'," Adie said, shocked.
"He does it all the time. He doesn't hit you because he thinks there's still some hope for you. All he thinks is that I'm some drunk who's gonna end up as what his father once was."
Adie's point of view
Who know that Brad had it in him to even consider hitting Nate? If you looked at Brad, stupid 5 foot 5 inches compared to my brother who is about 5'10" you couldn't imagine it. Then there was the fact that Nate brought up dad again. I mean my real dad not that poser. At the time I was still freaked out that he even knew anything about the guy. Well, back to the story, you're probably getting bored with me being in the way.
