us like an alligator bursting through the jungle swamp to snatch it’s unsuspecting prey. “Does she know how you got your scar Matthew? Does she know about your Daddy’s little accident?”
“Enough Marjorie!”
“I always knew you had issues because of your father, but this is ridiculous,” she points at me. “Dating her isn’t going to bring back her poor, dead Daddy. Will it sweetheart?” She smiles at me, and if I wasn’t so confused I would wipe her smirk off with my fist.
“Marjorie, ENOUGH! ” His voice echoes off of every surface in the sleek lobby, like a crack of thunder warning of a storm.
“What the hell is she talking about, Matthew?” I look at his twisted face and see something else mixed in with the anger. Pain. He’s starting to look more like a wounded animal stuck in a trap than the roaring lion we just heard.
“Oh dear, you mean he hasn’t told you?” Her voice is like sugar mixed with glass, “you see, Kendra, Matthew’s father was many things, but more than anything he was a worthless alcoholic. When he died in a car crash, of course, he was drunk off his ass, as usual. But he didn’t just kill himself in the accident, did he Mattie?”
Matthew doesn’t move; his arm has dropped to his side. I wait for him to indicate whether or not Marjorie is speaking the truth, but he’s frozen.
“He also killed your poor, innocent Daddy, Kendra.” My lungs burn as my head starts crashing under the tide. What did she say? “Young Mattie was right there, weren’t you?” She smiles at him. “That’s how he got that ghastly scar across his eyebrow because he was there when your father was gasping his final breaths on the ground that night. All thanks to his dear old drunk Dad.” She looks so smug.
Matthew doesn’t move, “is it true?” I whisper. I can’t breathe, I’m drowning.
“Yes.”
“So how about you go now, get on out of here, Miss Cole,” Marjorie smirks. “I’d say that Mattie has repaid his Daddy’s debt, wouldn’t you? No need to sit around looking for more handouts just because he feels sorry for you.”
I glance at Matthew through my blurry tears, but he’s catatonic. “Is this why you showed up at the diner? To find me? This is why you insisted on a date? So you could fucking feel better? Because you feel indebted to me or something?”
His face has aged ten years during this conversation; his eyes are clouded and he answers me through his unmoving lips, “Yes.”
I don’t run, I don’t stomp, I just walk out the front door and don’t look back. Matthew doesn’t try to chase me down, or call me, he just let’s me go.
He said I was different from all the other girls, different from women like Marjorie. Now I see why. I was never meant to be his girlfriend, I was supposed to absolve him of guilt. Guilt for watching my father die.
