Kent

Kent: What a fucking mess!

C-Dog: Uh, dude, this is the family chat

Kent: Fuck

Mothership: Kent Jason Moore, watch your language!

Kent: Sorry, Mom

Mother Hen: Seriously, KJ?

Kent: Jesus Christ, it’s just a bad word!

Kylie: HEHEHE

Kent: (eye rolling emoji)

Di: What’s a fucking mess?

Dad: I’m trying to work here!

Mothership: Kent, do you need something, sweetheart?

Kent: Uh, nope. False alarm. Sorry, rents.

I throw my phone on the bed. FML! I need to get going, but I also need sibling input and now. My phone buzzes. I groan and look over to see that my oldest sister is calling me. Lane or Lanie or Mother Hen as I like to call her is always the one that checks on me. Thus, the nickname.

I answer because I know if I don’t, she’ll just call back.

“Yes?”

“What’s wrong?” Lanie asks.

I pinch the bridge of my nose. “Work issues,” I answer as I stare at a mark on my ceiling and wonder how the fuck that happened.

“Care to expand on that?” she retorts. I can picture her face with a raised eyebrow.

I sigh. “I had a meeting with the manager and owner. They say I don’t have my heart in the game, and I need to get my act together or I’ll be playing somewhere else. It was basically a tough-love pep talk,” I explain with a groan.

“Well, you have been playing like total shit lately,” she says matter-of-fact. I shake my head.

“Thanks, Lanie,” I say through gritted teeth just as my phone sounds with an incoming call. I glance down to see Di’s name on the screen. Di and Lanie are my older twin sisters. And where one goes, so goes the other. Although they are super different, so different it’s hard to believe they are twins.

“Hold on,” I say to her as I click over to Diana.

“Lanie called, didn’t she?” Di answers.

“Yeah, she’s on the other line,” I state with a groan.

“Just put us on three-way,” she demands. I sigh again and do as I’m told because…well, because my older sisters beat me down enough as a kid to know better.

“Di?” Lanie says as I click over. I swear to god both these women have ESP or something.

“Hey,” she replies.
