Must Read: An Incest Birthday (18+)

“Ok, just remember, if you want some motherly advice, I’m right down the hall.”


Once Marie was out of sight Stephanie picked up where her mom left off. “Ok so what’s going on? You and Rita really did have a fight didn’t you? That’s why she’s not here?”
“No, well technically yeah, it’s complicated.



Let me get situated and call her then I’ll come back and tell you what happened. I’m gonna need some privacy though.”


I went back outside through the front door and walked around to the back and called Rita, who answered halfway through the second ring.”
“I was just getting ready to call you, I miss you already,” Rita said.
“Yeah me too, it hasn’t even been an hour yet, but it’s knowing what’s ahead that’s the issue. Did things calm down over there? What happened after I left?”
“I told dad I’d come with you, and he threatened to send you across the country if I did.”


“What? He said that? Maybe he was trying to scare you.”
“No, he meant it. He got mad and yelled at me because I wouldn’t stop.”
I was pacing around the backyard at this point. “No matter how mad he is he wouldn’t send one of his kids away, he knows that’ll mess up his relationship with us forever.”
“He’s not thinking clearly, people make dumb decisions when they’re mad.”
“That’s why I had to leave. I was the source of the problem in his eyes, if I stayed there he would’ve definitely did something drastic, like try to take my head off again.”
Rita was quiet on the other end for a minute. “I don’t wanna do this Randy. I know all the reasons why we have to, but I still don’t want to, three days it too much time for me.”
“I don’t want to either. I wanted Chris to turn the car around so many times and go back, but…”
“No, don’t say but, not this time. Just turn the car around and come back.”
“We’ve never been in a situation like this before, so far everybody’s been accepting of us, and the one who isn’t is dad, it’s dad Rita. He’s been there our whole life. If we go about this wrong we could ruin our whole relationship with him.”
“I’d rather ruin my relationship with dad than my relationship with you.”
I sat down on the back steps. “That’s exactly how I feel. That’s the only reason I agreed to leave. I wanna give dad a chance to come around, because he’s dad, but if he can’t, then I won’t feel bad if we have to cut ties with him. You are more important to me than his approval.”


She gasped for air in shock. “I love you so much right now for you saying that Randy.”


“I mean it, if he doesn’t come around, then it’s me and you. We’ll figure out a way to still be in contact with mom and Aunt Lisa, but if dad won’t accept us he won’t have to see us.”



“Hearing you say that made me feel a thousand times better.”
“We’re gonna need it to get through the next few days. Everybody here already knows somethings up, Stephanie’s questioning me and Marie can already tell I’m holding back.”
“You can tell them, just don’t tell Jim, he doesn’t know about us I don’t think.”
“To my knowledge he doesn’t. Let’s switch over to the video call, I wanna…”


“Here comes dad! I’ll call you back when I can I promise, I love you!”


Before I could even say I love you back the call had already ended. I stared at the screen for a minute, taking note of the battery being less than 50% charged and got up and walked back around the front and went back into the house. My stuff wasn’t in the living room anymore, so I assumed Chris had taken it up to his room, and when I got up there, I was right, in fact, he was already going through my bag looking for something.


“Ummmm, can I help you?” I said as I walked into his room.


“You didn’t bring any games? That should’ve been the first thing you packed!”
“Yeah I was busy grabbing sets of clothes so I wouldn’t be walking around here in the same outfit smelling like a garbage dump, but I did get a few games, they’re on the bottom.”
“Rushing outta the house and you still had time to grab Super Mario Bros and The Last of Us,” Chris said as he sorted through the games to see what I had.


“I grabbed them in the hopes that they would help me pass the time, but I don’t think that’s possible at this point. It’s worth a try though.”
“So what did Rita say? I’m assuming that’s who you called.”
“Yep, basically everything I’ve been saying, it’s gonna be a long three days. At least she’s got mom and Aunt Lisa to help make things easier.”
“You got us man, what we don’t count? That’s messed up.”
“I meant she’s got the mother and caring aunt, both with personal experience in the matter.”
“Oh, well yeah there’s that. You can always call over there, they won’t block your calls or anything, and there’s always my mom, since she already knows everything.”
Stephanie came into Chris’ room and shut the door. “So what happened with you and Rita? You have a big fight? Is it because you passed out drunk before she could get off again?”
“Umm, no, I don’t think I’d get kicked out for that,” I said.


“You might not, but Chris will if he leaves me hanging. So what happened? I’m surprised Rita didn’t call me and tell me herself, we tell each other almost everything.”
“This ones a little different, and she was probably getting out a lot of yelling to even think about calling you. Long story short, dad found out about us and kicked me out.”



Stephanie gasped. “What? How’d he find out? You slip up and tell him?”
“No, we accidentally left the picture of us kissing out in the open and he saw it.”
“Geez Randy. How mad was he? Did he try to hit you?”
“More than once, mom and Aunt Lisa had to hold him back.”
“So what, you can never go back over there? What about Rita?”
“I agreed to leave so he could have some time to clear his head without having to see me. Rita’s still there, he’d never kick her out, it’s easier to make a boy fend for himself than a girl.”
“What if after the three days he’s still just as mad as he was when you left?”
“Damn Stephanie this isn’t twenty one questions! You don’t have to drill him!” Chris said.
“It’s better to get everything out now than try to space it out all night while he’s trying to do something. It’s still fresh in his mind so now is the best time anyway,” Stephanie replied.
“I knew it was coming Chris I was ready for it, and Steph if he’s still just as mad and still won’t approve of us we’ll just have to leave, it’s like Chris said earlier we picked a good time to think about moving, we’d just have to push it up a little bit,” I said.
“You can’t just up and move. Where are you going to live? Are you going to get jobs? Is your father gonna let you take anything with you? There’s a lot to think about.”


“We didn’t get that far, but if we have to grow all the way up now, then that’s what we’re gonna have to do. If I need to I can always cash in my favor with Ashley’s dad, he told me if I needed anything just ask, I’d ask him to help us get an apartment, that way it shows I’m trying to get out on my own and not straight up asking him for cash, then when we get settled we can go out and find jobs, it can’t be that hard, everyone’s always hiring around here.”


“Yeah around HERE, you were talking about going to Seattle, or did that change?”
“Seattle’s still where we wanna go, but we can hold it off if we have to.”
“Well at least you kinda sorta have a plan, but what about us? If you move now we won’t be able to come with you right away, we can’t drive to Seattle to come see you!”
“Like I said, we haven’t thought that far ahead, right now we’re hoping for the best with dad.”
“Yeah, fingers crossed, that’d be a bad way to leave everything you know here.”
“Not to mention no more Mikey’s pizza, us hanging out all the time, your mom and aunt pulling a fast one on you, hell the Ashley’s were even becoming fun to hang with,” Chris said.
“Yeah, that and we were just starting to find a lot of new stuff here too, the gladiator place, the boat thing, Denise’s restaurant… F**K our food is still in the trunk!”
“Overnight? And you still didn’t get it this morning? You can toss that, maybe not though, ours is still good, we took ours outta the car when we got home and it’s still good.”
“Knowing my luck today, I won’t even bother. It’s not like I can get it anyway, the car is back at the house, where I can’t be at the moment.”
Chris came over and patted me on the back. “Don’t worry about it man, stuff like this happens to you guys all the time and you pull through, this times no different.”
“This ones a little different, but for our sake, I hope you’re right man.”
(RITA)
I haven’t stared out a window in a long time, because I didn’t really have a reason to, but here there I was, looking out the window into the backyard from the room Randy and I shared. I found myself wishing he would just run into view and make everything better. It hasn’t even been a whole day, but I missed him bad. We’ve been apart at times, even spent a couple weekends apart, but that was always by choice, like some kind of girls only sleepover or something, but this time we were being forced apart. There’s nothing worse than watching someone you care about most in this world leave and there’s nothing you can do about it. Dad is really going too far, I know he’s shocked and all about finding out about us, but he’ll be crossing the line to complete asshole if he keeps this going. I don’t even want dad to see me on the phone so he can’t blow another gasket, he keeps walking past the room to make sure I’m not trying anything sneaky, and I don’t wanna give him another reason to add anything else to what he’s already done, so I don’t even mess with my phone, for now. I always let Randy talk me into doing things, but I never should’ve let him convince me him leaving is what was best. It might seem like it now, because of how heated the situation was, but he could’ve just went for a drive and came back, dad didn’t need to kick him out, and if anything, I should’ve put up more of a fight to go with him. All I know is Randy better be right, this better blow over in a few days because I haven’t been by myself for three hours yet and I’m already starting to feel withdrawal from Randy, these are the types of situations that makes a person do crazy things, and when it comes to Randy, I’ll do whatever I have to do to be back in his arms again. I stared desperately into the backyard, hoping for anything, when my phone started ringing Ashley’s ringtone, I knew dad would hear it, but she called me, and I needed to talk to somebody, and for some reason Stephanie wasn’t answering her phone, so I answered it.



“Hey Ashley.” There was nothing I could do to hide my sadness, she noticed it right away.
“Hey what’s wrong? You didn’t sound like that when you left this morning!”


“Yeah, the worst possible thing that could happen, happened, and I don’t know what to do.”


“Oh. Well umm, I know I’m not ‘Stephanie friendship’ level or anything, but if you wanna tell me what happened you can, but if you don’t I’ll understand.”
“It’s ok, you’re a friend now, so I don’t have a problem telling you. I actually didn’t even get to talk to Stephanie today, but yeah.”


“Thanks, it’s nice to hear somebody say I’m actually a legit friend and mean it.”


“It wasn’t easy, I never thought in a million years I’d say that, but here we are. Anyways, long story short, my dad found out about me and Randy’s secret relationship.”


“WHAT? How’d he find out? You tell him? What did he say?”
“No we didn’t tell him, I accidentally left a picture of us kissing out in the open and he saw it. he was so mad I thought he was gonna beat the hell out of Randy.”


“Where is he at now?”
“Who my dad or Randy? Randy left for a few days to go stay at Chris’ house to give my dad some space, which I regret agreeing to now, and my dad keeps walking past my room to make sure I don’t sneak outta the house, which I really feel like doing right now.”
“Who are you talking to? That better not be your brother!” dad said bursting into the room.
“It’s not, it’s Ashley! You don’t have to watch me all night!”
“Yes I do, put it on speakerphone, I wanna hear her say something.”
“Ashley say hi, my dad don’t believe I’m talking to you.”
“Umm, hi Mr. Stevens, this is Ashley,” Ashley said sounding a little weirded out.
“There, are you happy now? Can I please be left alone now?”
“Don’t talk to him Rita, not for a few days, you hear me?” He stood there waiting for me to answer, and the longer I took to respond the more pissed he got. “DO YOU HEAR ME?”
“Yes dad I hear you! Jeez! Can you please leave me alone now?”
“I mean it, no contact,” dad said as he left the room.
“I’ve never heard your dad that angry, not even at the hospital,” Ashley said.
“It’s like he turned into a different person, this is probably the worst thing that could’ve happened in his mind, aside from someone dying obviously.”


“Maybe you should get out of there too, if he’s angry enough he might hit you.”


“No, one thing I know he’d never do no matter how mad he was is hit me, mom, or my aunt, Randy on the other hand would be the only other option as a punching bag.”


“But do you think you should leave?”
“I wanna, but he’d just find me and bring me back, and he’d already threatened to move Randy somewhere far if I did. We have to let it play out.”


“Well you know if you need anything you can call us, and by us I mean me or my dad. After what Randy did you can ask him for ten million dollars and he’d happily write you a check.”
“That’s nice to know, but right now all I want is Randy back. Can you dad do that?”
“I wouldn’t put it past him, he has that influence on people, and your dad is doing business with him after all, or did business with him, they closed the deal on the other house.”
“That might work though, if your dad demands a meeting with my dad he has to show right? It might be cause enough for him to have to bring us, he’d wanna see Randy, and you could invite me, I mean it could work right?”
“It’s worth a try, I’ll see if I can get my dad to set something up. But what are you gonna do once you get here? Your dad is gonna be watching you both like a hawk.”
“He can’t watch us the whole night. Your dad is gonna keep him busy with all the legalities and whatnot and we can slip away and ‘do what kids do’ or whatever. It might piss dad off even more but he can’t just expect us to not have anything to do with each other anymore.”
“Should I have the Ashley’s, see now you got me calling them that, should I have Becky, Carina, Dana, Stephanie and Chris over to make it more believable?”
“Stephanie and Chris definitely, but the rest I don’t know, they still don’t know anything about us and I don’t wanna slip up and do something and they see it, because I know as soon as I see Randy I’m gonna be all over him and vice versa.”


“I’ll figure it out. If anything we’ll go to the pool and you can sneak upstairs or something.”
“This is hoping we even get that far, I don’t know what to make of this situation.”
“He can’t be mad at you forever, maybe he really does just need a few days to process it.”
“Are you gonna be mad at your brother forever? You had some years to process it.”
“How did this switch onto me? I thought we were helping you?”
“We are, but you brought up a good point. You had some years to cope with your brother situation but you’re still mad about it, and it’s an entirely different than our situation.”
“It’s not like I didn’t try, that’s not something you can just forget about though.”


“And that’s what I’m saying, this is something dad will NEVER forget about. If this doesn’t work itself out my life from here on out won’t have either Randy or dad in it, and I’d much rather be homeless with Randy than live the rest of my life without him. I don’t wanna lose contact forever with my father, who’s been there with me my entire life. I’m scared.”


“Trust me, you don’t. I hate my brother for not getting in contact with me, but I still miss him.”


“Then get in contact with him, you have control over that situation. It’ll be a cold day in hell before I go years without seeing, let alone talking to Randy.”


“We’re probably never gonna be as close as we were when we were younger.”
“At least he’s there, that’s a start. You can always build back up if you wanted to.”
She was quiet for a minute. “Ok, I will, you convinced me.”


“You won’t regret it either way, you get your brother back or you get closure, win-win kinda.”


“Yeah I guess. So what’s the final verdict on what you’re gonna do?”
“I’m gonna sU-Ck it up and be the bigger person. I’ll give dad the few days he asked for and not see Randy, but I’m not gonna stop talking to him, that I won’t Bleeping do. Hopefully, he’ll see that we’re serious and there’s no separating us, and he’ll just try to live with it.”
“I wish you the best of luck, I’m gonna go do some profile hunting and track down Sean Jennings, if that’s still his name, mom probably had him change it.”
“Ok. Let me know how it goes, I’m just gonna sit here for a minute.”
“Sure, and let me know how it goes on your end too, talk to you later.”


I hung up with her and went back to staring out the window. I wondered what Randy was doing right now to try and pass the time, most likely playing video games, but with everything still lingering in the back of his head he wouldn’t be able to concentrate long enough to have fun playing, much like me, so I wouldn’t even bother turning the game on. At least he had Stephanie and Chris to be around, I had noone. I was confined to the house like a prisoner, with dad being the warden, watching my every move. Each passing second made it more and more obvious that Randy wasn’t gonna show up in my line of sight anytime soon, and that made me hate myself for leaving the picture out, so careless, but like it was said earlier, better to get it over with now than down the road. Three days with noone to keep me company and nothing to do, all I knew was it better be worth it.


(RANDY)
I tried my best to keep myself occupied by playing video games with Chris, but it was doing very little to help. I kept thinking about what Rita was going through over there by herself with dad no doubt breathing down her neck for what might last the whole time I’m gone. Suddenly playing NBA 2K didn’t interest me anymore and I stopped playing, letting my guy just stand there dribbling the ball until Chris finally looked up and saw me just sitting there.
“Dude, it’s no fun playing multiplayer by myself.”
“I just don’t feel like playing right now. I thought it would help, but not really.”
“Maybe we should put another game in then, like Call of Duty or something.”
“Nah, I don’t wanna play any video games right now.”
“Then what? You wanna go somewhere and do something outside the house?”
“It wouldn’t be right going to do something with Rita locked up in our house.”


“Then I don’t know what to tell you man, aside from anything electronic or leaving the house, the only other options are cleaning, cooking, reading, sleeping, or sitting still.”


“The sitting still sounds like a winner, that’s probably what I need, to sit and think.”
“Yeah, I’m not a big fan of sitting still, so I’ll let you handle that part by yourself.”


“It’s a solo thing anyway, unless it’s that group meditation thing, which it’s not.”
“Umm, ok then. Good luck finding a spot where you can be isolated. Somebody always pops up somewhere in this house no matter where you are, nowhere is safe.”
“If that’s the case then I might as well just sit right out in the open then.”
“Whatever works for you. If you change your mind I’ll still be here for like another hour.”
“I might be sitting down for way longer than that, but thanks anyway.”

“Hey man, try not to kill yourself worrying about it, I know that’s a dumb thing to say to expect somebody just to turn off worrying about something, but it’s gonna make you crazy and you’re not gonna be able to do anything. Wait those few days, then if nothing changes then start to worry, don’t make yourself crazy for something that might not even escalate.”
