part 2

Glancing to the right towards my stepbrother, and she soon regretted the action.He might as well have not shown up at all, even a person without their senses intact could have seen that he didn’t have a mourning bone in his body even if it was for Tiffany’s own grave. And although Alice knew Tiffany didn’t care a cent for her father anyway at least she tried to act like she did however fake it looked. Continuously dabbing at her dry eyes, she was telling stories to all her salon friends of how great and loving Robert had been to her over the years.

“Ah, where did that smile go to? You were so cheerful just a second ago.”

Brian moved to the other side of Alice so she was trapped between the door and him not even caring that the other passengers were staring at them. Putting an arm around her he stretched his legs out looking like some drunken fool. He even carried the strong smell that came with being drunk. This was immediately made worse by the mix of cheap cologne that didn’t compliment his current state at all. He didn’t even have any deodorant on.

And he thought that girls would be turned on just because of his money? Well he was in for a surprise when finds the joining of Alice’s fist and his face. Alice resisted the urge to punch him and decided to spit her anger instead.

“Ahhhh, and where’s the solemnity Brian or did the booze and pot from your party last night sober you up so you could morn for your dear old stepdad?”

Alice almost burst out with laughter when she saw the almost cartoonish angry purple color line creep up from his unbuttoned white collared shirt to his greasy brown hair. His beady black eyes glared across the car at a couple of giggling high school girls who looked like they came from Tiffany’s side of the family with all their fake Channel and Prada bags on the laps. Yes, Alice thought, it was much better to fuel his fire when there was an audience to humiliate him.

But then he turned back to her with a look that said it was time to go. Satisfied but still personally annoyed, Alice walked over to the other part of the limo to tell Tiffany she was leaving.

“But you can’t go you’re the only relative that will be attending.” Tiffany whined as she tried to grab Alice’s arm to stop her.

Alice smiled sweetly at her stepmother.

“Don’t worry I’m sure that you can handle a little after party.” After all it was almost a early birthday party for Tiffany

“ALI-” Tiffany tried to grab her arm.

However Alice was already out of the car closing the door on Tiffany’s face. Out onto the sidewalk, she began to walk randomly through the busy sidewalk.

  1. This is some steamy, sordid stuff. Intense! You might get a lot out of a book by Dorothy Allison (I believe I have that right) called _Bastard Out of Carolina._ There are several copies in the AHS library.
