Nothing about us was united anymore. It had been “every man for himself” for more than half a century.
“December! Dinner time,” Gretchen shouted, pulling me from my thoughts.
I stood, smoothing my rumpled clothes before twisting my long black hair up into a knot at my nape. Todd loved to touch my hair, especially when he was high on Lox, so the style was strictly a defensive tactic. If he couldn’t see it, maybe he wouldn’t think about it.
“December, now!”
I took a few deep breaths and twisted the knob on my door, letting the panel swing open a few inches so I could peek out and take stock of the situation. If I didn’t get out there, there would be no dinner for me and I’d go to bed hungry. Since I had no money to buy lunch at school, I hadn’t had anything to eat since breakfast, which was only one piece of dry toast and some water. My stomach growled at the thought of more food.
Todd was standing behind Gretchen, his arms looped around her waist as they swayed back and forth and he whispered things in her ear that made her giggle like a school girl. While Gretchen loved it when Todd came home high, for me, it was a nightmare.
