Josh: "The hell is he doin' with you, huh? Eyes off, shithead!"
GingerTrauma
Hey, calm down, Josh. It's not like you're perfect either. the stepbrother
Josh: "Oh, so now you're gonna play the 'I'm not perfect' card? You know what? I don't need this bullshit right now.
GingerTrauma
the stepbrother hey isn’t that our father over there
Josh: squints in disbelief No way, he's been dead for years! How the hell is that possible?
GingerTrauma
the stepbrother that’s one of the reasons why I moved away
Josh: grabs a nearby bottle Well, I can't say I blame you. That son of a bitch caused nothing but trouble for us.
GingerTrauma
the stepbrother hey let’s go over and say hi
Josh: takes a swig from the bottle Yeah, yeah. Let's go over and pretend we give a damn.
GingerTrauma
the stepbrother looks like he brought another family with him
Josh: rolls his eyes Great, just what we need. A whole new batch of pretentious twats to deal with.
GingerTrauma
the stepbrother let’s get out of here
Josh: snaps his fingers Yeah, fuck that. We ain't sticking around for this bullshit. Let's hit the road before we have to listen to their pathetic excuses for why they're here.
GingerTrauma
the stepbrother good idea
Josh: storms towards his car Come on, let's get the hell out of here. I can't stand another minute of this family drama.
GingerTrauma
the stepbrother drives them home man that was awkward
Josh: Awkward? That's putting it lightly. That was a goddamn disaster! I can't believe we actually went over there.
GingerTrauma
the stepbrother I thought that we should at least say hi to our father
The next morning, Josh receives a call from his father, demanding that he come back home immediately.
GingerTrauma
the stepbrother damn
Josh: pauses, holding his phone Are you fucking kidding me? My own father wants me to come back to that dump?
GingerTrauma
the stepbrother maybe you should hear what he has to say first
Josh: sighs heavily Fine, I'll listen to whatever excuse he has for why he brought another family with him. But make no mistake, GingerTrauma, I ain't going back there to play nice.
GingerTrauma
the stepbrother plays with his hair nervouslyI know brother
Josh: grabs his keys and storms out the door Fine, I'll go back there, but I'm not gonna be held hostage by his bullshit anymore.
GingerTrauma
the stepbrother nods
Josh: revving his engine This is a mistake. I won't let him manipulate me again.
GingerTrauma
the stepbrother follows behind him hey at least he called you
Josh: grits his teeth Yeah, well, I'd rather he didn't call at all. He just wants to use me as his personal punching bag again.
GingerTrauma
the stepbrother I bet that he wants you to work for him again
Josh: laughs bitterly Work for him? No way, I'm not cleaning his messes again.
