Prologue

~Seth~

“If the kid wasn’t in the car, I’d give you the best blowjob of your life right now,” my mom says to her boyfriend and then scowls at me as I sit in the back seat We’ve driven all the way from Texas to Montana in this horrible car with the sarettes, and they don’t stop when I tell theo to the bathroom

“He’ll be gone soon,” he says and grabs her boob

My stomach feels queasy I don’t like it when she lets men touch her like that in front of me

At least, it’s not as bad as what she lets theet to touch her, they leave me alone

I hope she leaves me and never comes back

The road to the ranch is buo inbecause we’re almost there, and then I won’t have to be with my mom anymore

I hope I hope that Gram and Gramps let me stay What if they don’t?

My stomach is even queasier when I think about that, so I just push it away They were always nice to ave me all the food I could eat And, sometimes, Grandma even made pie for dessert

“Thank God, we’re here” Mom opens her car door “Get out of the car, Seth”

I cli on the porch Uncle Josh is here, too, but he doesn’t look happy

Will they send me away?

Moround next to me I don’t have much in there She didn’t let me take very much because she said they didn’t have room in the car

“What’s this about?” Uncle Josh asks

“Seth’s your problem now,” Mo, long time

I don’t look up at any of theravel with my shoes

What if they don’t want me?

“Seth isn’t a proble ainst her I instinctively stiffen

No one ever touches ive me a whoopin’

“He is for me,” Mom says She and Uncle Josh talk about how she doesn’t want me any a mom

She’s not good at it, anyway
