CHAPTER
SEVEN
The Cousins
Skyye
Pretty sure my dad is about to beat the shit out of my stepdad.
Ash
Ha, yes. Get ’em, Dean!
Flint
Why? What happened?
Flint
did you get video?
Skyye
no, but I did get this.
Skyye
*sends attachment.*
Flint
whoa! Look at you go! That’s incredible.
Flint
for us dumb hockey players, what is that?
Skyye
LOLOL, an axel. I look like a baby giraffe, but I’m doing it.
Ash
better than me. Get it, girl.
Skyye
thanks 3
Flint
yeah, you’re awesome, kiddo.
Skyye
you’re three years older than me, you can’t call me kiddo.
Flint
sure, kiddo.
Ash
So did Dean beat up stepdad?
Skyye
no thankfully, but I don’t think he likes my dad.
Flint
too bad it doesn’t matter.
Flint
he’s your dad.
Ash
I don’t get it. Dean’s cool as hell.
Skyye
exactly, and when stepdad came in, he called my mom and told her not to be going crazy since Aunt Kenni is here.
Ash
hey, tell him to leave them alone. Mom needs Missy and Sadie.
Flint
Yeah, what he said!
Ash
for real, help us, Sky. Mom has been through hell.
Skyye
I know, don’t worry. I’ll watch out for her.
Flint
She deserves to be happy, and I know coming home will do that for her.
Skyye
I hear you, don’t worry.
Flint
but we will.
