Fists O’ Fury, I didn’t expect him to be so nuts. I’ll vomit.Īnd when Perry’s father came roaring for me, Mr.

For fuck’s sake, he stuck his… no, I don’t even want to think about it. Knowing Max and our fucked-up relationship, I still didn’t think he would so easily turn on me. You should know this by now.īut I was totally unprepared for the reality of everything. You know, the whole oooh but look who your daughter chose in the end, muahaha. I selfishly wanted to prove myself to them. I just wanted her parents, Max, the cops, to see that I hadn’t kidnapped her, she had gone willingly. I should have had a better plan than to just get out of the car and walk toward the house, hand in hand with Perry as a show of solidarity. So when we came to her house and saw the cop cars, I wasn’t all that surprised. I could sense a gathering of people, authority figures, more than just her family. But I could hear, in my head I guess, Max’s voice telling everyone to calm down. Don’t ask me how, in fact be prepared to not ask me a lot of things. Whatever.īefore I even pulled the car down Perry’s street, I knew the clusterfuckery that lay ahead of us. I can blow up on occasion but most of the time I just shove the rage somewhere deep inside.

But I think I have been pretty good about it. I try not to let it rule me though fuck if I don’t have a lot of shit to be angry about. It’s one of the things I learned today, along with “trust your instincts” and “shitting in public is impossible.”
