Title: Chapter 10: SUMMER 1997
So much in this chapter. So much.
"don’t mind your father Hunter"
That right there says it all to me. It really ticked me off.
So, no mention of Corrine working, so the money is coming from Sterling, right? So, anything Hunter got was from Sterling's pocket and he was too chickenshit to put his foot down and say hell to the naw. That was to Hunter's detriment.
You best believe that Hunter saw how Corrine treated his father, with very little respect, actually. So, why should he listen to his Dad? Sterling allowed his son to turn out like he has. I'm just surprised that he was such a wuss. Yeah, Corrine is the main issue, but Sterling shares a big portion of the blame for letting this shit go down that way. That has not helped Hunter become a fully formed mature human in the least.
"I feel like a man today Dad”
Oh Hunter, feeling like one does not make you one with your simple ass. And he still doesn't know what it is to be a man. Because, unfortunately for him, his Mother and Father showed him what their version was of a man. If this boy evolves, it will be a MIRACLE.
And slinging yo dick at anything that moves, does not a man make.
“why do you always have bring up the harsh stuff he’s still a kid”
Ah yes, that is his problem. He's been a kid far too long. This just burns my butt.
"He just prayed that his son would be make judgments with the head on his shoulders..."
Really Sterling. How's that fool boy of yours going to make any rational judgements when it doesn't seem as if you and your wife have taught that idiot a damn thing? Or if you've tried, that fool wife of yours hasn't supported you. United front, people, united front. What a concept.
As I got to the end of the chapter, Sterling seemed to grow a pair, but it seems to have been too late. Unfortunately, by sixteen, Hunter's personality, etc. is set.
That MIRACLE I mentioned above will have a name and that name will be Anika Gabrielle Wallace. Cause, right now, Hunter makes me want to put my hands around his neck and squeeze, slowly.
Really good chapter, Chica. It really got me going. :)
