VOLUME FOUR: HOLLOWMandy"My name is Mandy and I tried to kill myself."I'm not sure where the strength is coming from for me to say these words in front of a group of people I don't know. But here I am, in a meeting. A meeting I've been told I will have to attend every day while I'm here, and if I want to get better, I may as well get used to it."Hi, Mandy."The amount of voices speaking back to me is more than I thought there would be when I came into this room, but as the time came closer for the meeting, people just kept streaming in. So here I am with a bunch of people I don't know, trying to fix a life that's gone completely sideways."I tried to kill myself too," one of the girls sitting on the opposite side of the circle from me says. "Went at my wrist with a pink razor, complete with moisturizing strip."There are some laughs, and it makes me feel slightly better about my situation."The thing was," she continues. "I didn't really want it to work, and mayb

Dalton"I can take your shift if you need me to." Wild reaches over, grabbing a chip from the basket in front of us, dipping it into the queso we all love."You have enough shit going on in your life, I can take my shift. I'll ask Denise to watch Walker," I argue, grabbing a chip of my own.It's only been a few days since Mandy left, but it feels like a few months. I miss her, more than I did when she was at the house and I was at the clubhouse. Back then, I always knew I could go there and check on her if need be. Right now, she's fifty miles north, and I'm going out of my fucking mind, wondering if she's okay.But this is part of the process that will, with any luck, make her better, and if it's going to bring her back to me, I'll deal with anything thrown my way."How's Walker doing?" he asks as our plates come to the table. I lean back, admiring the smoking plate of fajitas in front of me. The two of us don't normally have lunch together, but when he asked, I accepted.

MandyAnother day. Another letter.One step closer to finding out why I am the way I am. At least that's what I keep telling myself. Today finds me not walking as confidently to Dr. Crawford's office as I did the first couple of days. I'm unsure why, but there's a trepidation about the piece of paper I hold in my hand.Knocking softly, I wonder if it's because I'm not sure I want her to hear me. It doesn't matter, because I hear her strong voice saying come in. I do as she says, with palms sweating and my knees weak. "Hey, Mandy." She smiles from where she already sits in her chair. "How are you doing today?"I don't answer until I have a seat and get comfortable. A sigh works its way past my throat. "I'm not sure. The first couple of days we talked and I wrote letters, it was interesting to see how I could express myself. Today though, I'm not as interested in what I wrote.""It's okay to be uncomfortable." She leans forward, her eyes locking onto mine. "We can't get p

DaltonIn the first decade of Walker's life, I've never had to go to school to pick him up - that was always something Mandy managed. Either she'd take care of it, or arrange for someone else to. We've always been good at splitting everything when it comes to the day-to-day, and anything having to do with Walker's health fell to her. His safety fell to me.So I don't know how to handle this.Having to get him at school two days in less than a week. Especially when he's sick and hurting from missing his mom.I'm driving the shop truck when I come to a screeching halt in the parking spot reserved for parents at the front of the school. About the only thing I do know is he probably shouldn't be on the back of my bike if he has a fever.I drum my thumb on the steering wheel, wondering what the fuck I'm supposed to do. How am I supposed to handle all this shit by myself?It's what Mandy's been doing, isn't it? My fucking subconscious taunts me.It's what she wanted.I

DaltonI don't think I've ever felt more inadequate as a father, than right now. Standing in this line of parents waiting to get registered in order to be seen is trying my patience. People aren't being polite, and Walker is burning up.A couple minutes into this stand-off we've got going on, he hugged himself to me and hasn't let go yet. He's on fucking fire. I'm about at the end of my rope when the woman at the front of the line starts making a fuss about paying a fifteen-dollar copay.Normally, I'm the cool one and Drew is the hothead, but I wear my VP patch proudly. "Look, lady, if it'll get you to move your ass, I'll pay your damn copay. There's other people with sick kids here."Everyone turns, eyeing not only me, but Walker, and my cut. It's not very often I use it to my advantage, but today I stand to my full height and let them look their fill. She doesn't say anything else, she turns, grabs something out of her purse and slides it across the counter. It must have b

MandyThe circle is a little smaller today. Two people who have been in my group since I got here got to go home. Looking down at my engagement and wedding rings, I'm hit with a longing to see Dalton and Walker again. A type of longing I haven't felt in years. It could be the new medication they have me on to control my mood swings, or it could be that I'm finally coming out from underneath this dark cloud I've been under for so long. "When was the first time you realized you weren't like everybody else?"The leader of our circle asks the question, and I do like I've done every day since I got here a week ago - I truly think about it. I close my eyes and settle into the question, giving it a few moments to dig itself into my conscience and then answer it truthfully. When it comes to my turn, I speak slowly."The day my mom was served papers saying that they were going to take our house." I clasp my hands together in front of me. "Things had been rough prior to that. Me and

Dalton"Are you sure?" I question both Wild and Addie, cocking my head to the side. "He should be asleep the rest of the night. The medicine they gave him really knocks him out, and he hasn't had a fever in almost forty-eight hours. I don't think he's contagious anymore.""Dalton." Addie grins, putting a hand on my shoulder. "We got this. You go do what you need to."What I need to do and what I want to do are two totally different things. I need to take my shift at Wet Wanda's, but I'd much rather stay here, at the clubhouse with my son. Since Mandy left, we've been staying in my dorm. Partly because I can't stand to be in the house without her.Partly because I need help, and it's easier to get it when you're around everyone at the same time. "If you need anything, give me a call, I'll have my cell on."Wild clears his throat. "Like I said, we can definitely use the practice."My whole body softens as I look down at Addie. I can remember her being a toddler, Drew

DaltonEntering Wet Wanda's is almost like coming home. Weird, I know, but I've spent so much of my life in this place. The dark, hazy atmosphere is exactly what I need right now. Smoking hasn't been allowed in Bowling Green bars for years, but here people do whatever the hell they want to. You've gotta respect people who give a middle finger to what's supposed to be right, and just do what they want.Drew is standing in the corner, his arms folded over his chest, nodding at something Jagger's saying. Walking over to them, I wait until there's a lull in the conversation."How's it going tonight?""Getting busier." Drew chews on a piece of gum. "But it's still early. Jagger and I were talking about a possible new recruit.""Oh yeah?" I turn to the other member of the club.He's older than us, but you'd never know it. He doesn't seem to age. "Yeah, a teacher who works with B."I raise my brow. "A teacher?"He chuckles. "Yeah, you'd be surprised. He seems legit.""
