Chapter two
Everyone stood and stared at Bobby not knowing what to say. Ennis knew Jack couldn't handle the situation. He ran down off the porch to stand beside Jack.
"Jesus Bobby, what the fuck?" Jack asked with wide eyes.
"I think we should talk 'bout this in the house… no point standing out here." Ennis gestured to the house while talking. Bobby silently nodded. Ennis nodded to Bobby's friend to follow. Ennis turned to lead the way, Jack followed still in shock, Bobby and his unknown friend walked behind Jack. Junior sat on the porch not knowing what to do.
"C'mon darlin'" Ennis whispered walking past her, with that she got up and followed them into the house. Ennis knew they were ready for drinks. The others went into the living room. He went to the fridge and took out four cold beers, Junior wasn't much of a drinker, he wasn't sure if Bobby or his friend even drank… after all Bobby was sixteen and his friend looked about the same.He figured they needed one.
'Hell Bobby and Jack look like they definitely need one!' Ennis thought closing the fridge door.
When he returned to the living room, everyone was sitting. Jack was slumped on the edge of his seat obviously eagerly awaiting an answer. Jack took the beer Ennis handed him gratefully and took a long swallow from the bottle. Ennis handed Bobby and his friend a beer and they wordlessly took them Bobby looked at the floor while taking the beer instead of Ennis's face. Ennis stood near the door sipping his drink.
"Who did this Bobby?" Jack asked after a long silence. He wanted revenge.
"First of all y'gotta stay calm! Promise me that!" Bobby said avoiding his fathers face.
"Well, that depends on who it was!" Jack snapped back.
"Well don't blame momma alrigh'?" Bobby said.
"Did she have somethin' t'do with this?" Jack asked.
"Don't blame her alright?" Bobby's tone growing firm.
"Alright fine! Are y'gonna fuckin' tell me or what?" Jack asked impatiently.
Bobby let out a sigh and said staring at the label of the beer bottle. "Grandpa" He voice was quiet like a child.
"What?!" Jack stood up overcome with rage.
Ennis and Junior both looked at Bobby and then at Jack.
"Why? How? When? What yer momma do?" Jack had so many questions.
"Well, this is kinda hard to say" Bobby said his voice remaining quiet. Junior was starting to feel uncomfortable. She got up to leave, Bobby's still unknown friend put down his nearly finished bottle of beer and followed, Ennis just nodded as they left the room. Jack was too busy worrying and trying to understand to notice.
"I'm Johnny" Bobby's friend introduced himself putting out his hand to shake Juniors while they stood in the hall.
"Alma Junior but call me Junior, everyone else does" She replied shaking his hand.
"Nice meetin' y'Junior. I better be on me way, tell Bobby I said bye. I'll just get his stuff from me truck" Johnny returned to his grey pickup and retrieved a medium sized green bag.
"Thanks" Junior took the bag and put it in Bobby's room which was there for his summer visits.
"Bye now" Johnny left the house. Junior heard the engine rumbled and slowly fade. She wasn't sure if she wanted to go back into the living. She decided to go in. She figured Bobby might need help now that Johnny was gone.
Junior's hand hung above the door handle she could hear muffled voices. She sighed and opened the door and went into the room. Bobby was sitting in the same position that he was when Junior left, Jack was pacing and Ennis was leaning against the wall looking worried. Junior looked at Bobby again she saw tears sliding down his face. She sat down beside him in Johnny's recently absent seat. Junior came in, in the midst of the conversation slightly lost at what they were talking about.
"Yer momma knows I'm gonna call her now" Ennis never seen Jack so angry before but after all it was his only son and if anyone touched Ennis's daughters they were dead.
"No! Y'said you wouldn't blame her!" He sat forward.
"Well she calls herself yer fuckin' mother, some fuckin' mother!" Jack was grinding his teeth.
"Well at least she was there, I only saw y'two months outta the summer and missed most Christmases. How do y'think I felt when fella's talked 'bout goin' out with their dad's. I never saw ya! She tried her best and I'm mad at grandpa but upset 'bout momma! I know she still loves me and I can't change who I am!" Bobby didn't realize he was shouting. He was still crying. Jack was pacing listening intently to what Bobby was saying.
"Bobby… I know I haven't always been there I do try and see ya, but Childress is a good way away" Jack explained.
"Is that why y'never visited me? Y'only visited once at Christmas and that's it! 'Cause if y'love me y'sure don't show it!" Bobby tried to stay calm.
"I try I can't come up that often y'know how your momma gets and not to mention L.D" Jack said his name with disgust. "I swear I'm gonna fuckin' kill him!" Jack had the urge to punch something and pretend it was L.D's face he busting up. He settled with giving a cushion a quick punch pretending he broke L.D's nose. Ennis sensed that Bobby wanted to talk to Jack by himself. Ennis thought quickly.
"I think we need some coffee. Junior come help" Junior understood her father and left the room followed by Ennis. As soon as they got into the kitchen Ennis slumped into a chair by the kitchen table and let out a sigh from deep within his chest.
"Where'd his friend go?" Ennis asked curiously looking around.
'Obviously he didn't hear the engine rumble' Junior thought 'He was probably too involved in what was happening'
"He's gone, left some of Bobby's stuff, I put in it his room" Junior said busy making the coffee.
"Oh" Ennis said.
"His name's Johnny" Junior said putting the coffee on the table in front of her father.
"Oh" Ennis repeated sipping his coffee.
"Think I should bring 'em coffee or should I wait" Junior asked looking at the closed living room door.
"I'd wait awhile" Ennis suggested. Junior sat beside him at the table. A few moments of silence passed. Ennis and Junior sat sipping coffee.
"D'hear that?" Ennis asked.
"Hear what? I didn't hear nothin'" Junior was confused.
"Exactly… they're not shoutin' no more".
"Should we check 'em?" Junior asked unsurely.
"Yeah c'mon" Ennis and Junior walked over to the living room door. Ennis slowly opened it. Jack was sitting beside Bobby, both were crying.
"Is everythin' ok?" Ennis asked with a lump rising in his throat at the sight of Jack crying.
