Nancy Screw and the Coming of Age (18+) Chapter 8
Chapter 8 My Condolences… Nancy didn’t sleep well that night. The image of Billy and Allie had been burned into her subconscious and now she was afraid she couldn’t get it out. With only four hours of sleep, Nancy went downstairs to get some sympathy food. Her parents were up and doing their routines around the house.

One glass of Merlot
I agreed to meet him at a local brewery. I’d heard too many stories of dating app meetups going wrong, so I made sure to have a public first date. He was just like his picture suggested; peppy, clean shaven, and he even wore a tie. I liked him immediately.

Average
He stood on the top of the hill, eyeing his phone with anger. There was no service; not even one bar. Not that it even mattered; the battery was dead anyway. The man was almost certain it was approaching sunset, but with the overcast sky, it made it impossible to tell what time of day it was, much less in which direction was north or south. There were two directions to go; one being a seemingly never ending two lane road way that disappeared into some trees in the distance, and in the other direction, the road snaked its way through lumpy hills. He could hear what sounded like a two-stroke chainsaw in the distance, though he could not be sure in which direction it was coming from.

Untimely Interval
Untimely Interval Mary was thirsty and leaning toward Beth asked if she wanted anything from the snack vendor. Beth smilingly said she could eat, popcorn would be great, and Mary hastened out to the common area. The line-ups were longer than expected and she popped her cell phone out of her pocket to peruse a couple of sites until her turn came.

The hidden truth.
The Hidden truth June 26,2026 “It’s so hot out....” A man says. Other workers nod in agreement. - [ ] “No point in dragging out the yard work complaining. Let’s just get it done.” Another replies. “Always the hard worker aye Jon.” The man says . Jon looks up and laughs “If I’m not, who will feed my family? My mother counts on me to get her meds she is very sick. She’s counting on me.” Jon continues working. You deserve to take a break too Jon. You don’t want to work yourself to death. Take if from an old man like me.” He finishes. ”Thanks Rick.” He said smiling. Couple hours pass and the work day is over. Jon checks his watch “5:40pm. Hope mama is still awake and feeling ok. I have time to stop at the market and pick up a few things for dinner I’ll make her favorite since it the anniversary of her and my father. Whom I’ve never met haha” he laughed. He starts his car and waits a bit before pulling off. He hits shuffle on his rap playlist and the music begins to play. “Aye, this my shit!!” A rap begins to spin and Jon begins to rap the song word for word. Pulling up to the grocery store and parking Jon jumps out locks his car and proceeded inside. “Hey Jon it’s been a while.....! Haven’t seen you at the gym either.” Jon stops and the smile he had is gone. “Monica....” he grumbled. He turns around to face her. “What’s up.” He said nonchalantly “What’s you’re problem? You don’t return any of my calls, none of my text! Not even an email! Did I hurt you that much you don’t ever want to see me again?” She finished “That’s kinda the point of a break up.” He retorts. “Jon I love you!!!” “Did you tell that to Devan while you cheated on me with my so called best friend!!” Jon argues. “ I don’t know what I was thinking Jon. I’m sorry. I’ll do anything just name it! Please” she begged. “Just leave me alone, ok. Go have your life with Devan and leave me out of it!” “ Devan’s dead Jon!” She stopped him. “What? Since when?” “Last week. You would know if you didn’t work so much, and returned people’s call!” She said tearing up. “Shit...” He paused. “His mom wanted me to tell you. But this is the first time we have seen each other since....” she stopped. “Since I caught you two in our bed in my house!” He finished her thought. She silently looks up at him. “You were always working. And taking care of your mom. I get it she’s very ill and has a super rare disease (GBS), but what about me Jon?... I was always alone while you were out playing hero. I need attention too! I needed some of your precious time!” Why couldn’t you..” “What!!!” He interrupted. And let my mother die, so you can have some alone time with me!? I’m sorry I put my mother before you..... As a matter of fact I’m not sorry! You only get one mother and it’s selfish of you to try and pull some this as an excuse. Ohhh I was alone and you weren’t there. So I slept with your bestfriend! He mocked. “My mother is all the family I have since my father ran out on her, and left us with nothing! I wasn’t born we money like you and your family, I worked for everything I have and did it all on my own!!” He scolded. “Just leave me alone ok. It’s bad enough I can never see my boy again..... Please let his mother know I will attend his funeral... Thanks for telling me Mo.” “She wipes her tears and sniffles a bit. “No problem.” She said “I really am sorry Jon.” “Don’t worry about it.” He said turning around to proceed into the store.” Jon’s mind begins to race as he thinks about all that transpired with him and Devan. They had been friends since they were for and it all ended 4 years. Jon is now 30 physically fit, and great martial artist. He studied Boxing and Karate. Trained most of his life because he had a dream of going pro. He stopped training after his mother fell ill, and since he no longer spoke to Devan he had no one to push him to go back. Jon is very skilled and could have easily gone pro with Devan not too far behind. Shortly after the falling out Devan became an officer and was doing great. Shortly made Lt. and Detective after 2 years. Cracking a huge case that connected officers, cia agents, politicians and even a big name medical company tied a drug cartel know as “Silence”

Revealing Red
He was handsome. Not in the modern sense, but more in the way of my grandparent's era. I remember looking at my grandmother's yearbook and thinking, "Oh! These men are weirdly mature and very scrumptious." I told myself that's just how young men were made in the '50s. Not so much in my mother's yearbook, now that I think back to it. All of those guys looked ragged and poodle-esque. Maybe I just like old-fashioned.
