Chapter 228
Brad
I really didn’t have time for these so-called friends of mine. “I’m eating a sandwich are you blind?” I asked them. “What are you doing here?” Tom asked me “Hiding isn’t it obvious.” “Why here?” “Well, I didn’t think anyone will be looking for me here, who was the bright one this time?” I asked them very sarcastically. “If you must know your daughter, you remember her right Jennifer.” Arlo sneered at me. “Yes, off course I remember her, the one that betrayed me and married Romeo off all people.” “She didn’t betray you you pushed her into a corner. And so far, they are very happy so she came out on top.” Tom said. “Fuck you, Tom. You know what kind of man Romeo are?” “Yes, loving and caring husband.” Arlo said. “One that wants to protect her from all this but you don’t give him a choice in the matter it’s like you want to fuck her life up more than you already have.” “Fuck you I didn’t fuck up her life.” “Clearly you are delusional and we can’t talk to you any further.” Tom said. “I’m not fucking delusional you guys are you who thinks I need to be in rehab.” “Well look at you Brad, you are bleeding, you threw Peter your confidant the one that is always by your side with a soda and you are shaking like a guy that didn’t get his fix of heroine.” Arlo went on. Rufus was just shaking his head. “Why are you shaking you fucking head Rufus?” “I can’t believe this is you I can’t believe how far you have fallen and most of all I can’t believe we still care enough to drop everything and come look for you.” “I didn’t ask you to.” “No but Jennifer did and you know we will do anything for her because God forbid her father does anything for her that’s in her own interest.” Fuck off Rufus. Rufus turned around and told the others “I’m done I’ll be standing with Peter.” Then he just walked off to where Peter was standing next to my fucking car.
“What will make you see you have a problem, Brad?” Arlo asked softly. “When I do have a problem maybe then I’ll see it.” “The thing is you do have a problem my question to you will be, do you really want your grandchildren to see you like this, or should I even ask do you want to see your grandchildren some day?” “Romeo won’t have children.” “Everyone chances their minds, Brad. And I can tell you this if you look like this and if you keep on acting like this you will never see your grandchildren. They will call Rufus, Tom and me Grandpa but they won’t see you, is that what you want.” Arlo went on. Fuck is that what I want, do I really want my grandchildren call them grandpa, do I want to be in their lives? “Off course I want to be in their lives.” “Well then I suggest you get your shit together and go back to rehab probable not to the same one because clearly you did something wrong there but you need to go to rehab.” “Why is Jennifer pregnant?” “I think they are trying yes.” Arlo said.
“No fucking way I almost got them to break up because of children.” “You really a fucking piece of work Brad.” Tom said. “Well, all I’m telling you is that you are going to be a granddad sooner than later and I will really suggest you take this rehab thing serious, for you and your grandchildren because I can’t say for you and Jennifer because clearly you don’t give a fuck about her.” Arlo said. That made me so angry. “I charged towards him and pushed him, “don’t tell me I don’t give a fuck about my daughter.” “You want to hit me Brad, because please go ahead, because I’m going to tell you again, you don’t give one fuck for Jennifer’s feelings, you’ve been treating her like shit her whole life or should I say since they died.” Arlo motioned to the graves. “So please don’t tell me you would do anything for Jennifer because you won’t, so do it for the grand children please Brad, try and think about the future.” That gave me pause do I want to be part of Jennifer, Romeo and my grand children’s lives. I knew in the back of my head that I wanted to but I still couldn’t admit to myself I have a drinking problem. “I want to be part of their lives Arlo, but I’m not an alcoholic.” “You need to admit it to yourself sooner or later Brad, because you are, and going to rehab might help you realizing it.”
“They treat you like a child there.” “Well stop acting like one and really listen to them and take to heart what they are telling you; this is not going to be easy Brad; you will have to work to get sober first you need to admit it to yourself but it will be worth it I promise you it will be worth it.” I started to walked to where Peter was standing before Tom said, “We taking the other car Brad, we are booking you in not Peter.” They where clever there was booze in my car, clearly, they remembered that. I had to reverse and walked back to Tom’s car. “Fine I’ll give it a chance.” “That makes all of us happy to hear Brad, but you need to put the work in and you really do need to realize you do have a problem.” Tom said. “I’ll try okay that is the best I can do at the moment I can tell you I’ll try.” “That is all we can ask from you Brad, please try and do it for yourself and the family you do have left.” “If Jennifer wants anything to do with me when she comes back.” “She will or else she wouldn’t have sent us here. It won’t be easy and you have a lot to make up for, but this is a good beginning.”
