The rubber on my tires gripped the ice as I put my truck into passing gear and pulled out from behind the tractor trailer in front of me. My hands were wrapped tight on the steering wheel and my eyes were piercing straight ahead into the white fuzz. I knew it wasn't the best idea to be driving so recklessly in a snow storm but I had to get home. The six hour drive home from school was more than half over but I was desperate to make up some time. My truck seemed to be on autopilot while I swerved in and out of traffic. A flood of emotions and thoughts were jumping back and forth in my mind as I scanned the horizon for any signs of imminent danger at my cruising speed. I knew there wouldn't be a happy welcome waiting for me at home when I arrived but still wanted to get home as fast as I could.
'Home'
I thought to myself. Would this really feel like home? The last time I was home was for Thanksgiving weekend a couple of months ago. It was now mid-December heading into the Christmas season and everything was going perfect in my life. I was the happiest guy in the world. I had finally hooked up with my dream girl Rachel in my parent's home over the holiday weekend. Not only that, my ultimate fantasy came true when I was seduced by my big sister Cassie. The three of us spent the entire weekend together and eventually came to realize we all had deep feelings for each other. We all loved each other and we had all wanted a physical relationship to happen for the longest time. More than brother and sister. More than best friends. More than a one-time fling. This was love in its truest form and we all desired to pleasure and cherish each other equally.
I had recently just finished completing paperwork to transfer to MIT for the winter semester. I am in my second year of a double major in Engineering and Business. As soon as we all realized the three of us wanted to spend our lives together, I made the switch to MIT's executive MBA and engineering program. Since the girls would both be attending Harvard Medical School we could get a place together off campus and learn more and more about each other as we all began a new chapter in our lives.
The girls and I had been in constant contact since Thanksgiving through texting, Skyping, and talking on the phone which lead to some pretty intensely hot nights. Phone sex turned into an almost nightly thing where the girls would get me going, and would then have each other to satisfy their urges while I was left on my own. I hadn't touched them, held them in my arms for such a long time and while I knew I was going to see them when I got home, the reasons why were terribly upsetting.
About four hours ago I had received a phone call from my mother Sara. She was hysterical, distraught and it took me some time to decipher and understand the magnitude of exactly what she was saying. My father, Will had lost control of his vehicle last night and swerved into oncoming traffic. He was killed instantly. Replaying that phone call in my head had caused me to tear up again as I plowed forward through the storm, frantic to get home and comfort my mother and sister. There was no doubt that Rachel would be there too as she probably came home from school with Cassie. Having been so close to the family, she would probably be a wreck too when I arrived home.
I let out a deep long sigh and focused on the road. I slowed my speed down considerably when a phone call came through the Bluetooth in my truck. Cassie's name flashed up on the screen.
'Shit' I thought to myself. I wasn't ready for this and especially not while I was driving and speeding home. Why couldn't she wait for me to come home first?
I clicked on the answer button on the touch screen and softly spoke.
"Hey Cass," I said solemnly. I'm not sure if she had been crying the whole time or my voice set her off but what came through the other end of the phone was absolute devastation.
"Oh my... god Matty," Cassie squeaked out in between hysterical sobs. "I..I can't believe he...he's GONE," Cassie belted out as she was full out crying now and couldn't seem to catch her breath. I could feel a tear roll down my cheek at how much this was killing her. It was killing me to not be able to do anything about it. My relationship with my parents was never the best. Thanksgiving weekend changed that when they finally accepted me for choosing the career I wanted rather than just following in their footsteps. I had thought we would begin a relationship based out of mutual respect and admiration. When I left after Thanksgiving, I thought things were going to change for the better. Boy was I wrong.
Cassie on the other hand, always had a closer relationship with them as she was the perfect doctor daughter that they had hoped for. Having only felt emotionally
close
to my parents for a couple of months, I couldn't imagine how Cassie was handling all of this.
"I...I know Cass," I tried to interject in between sobs. "it's awful ...I will be there in a couple of hours and we can sit down and talk through it. I reassured her. "I miss you so much and we WILL get through this as a family."
I heard Cassie's breathing slow down as she began to catch her breathe. "I love you so much Matty," she whimpered. "See you in a little bit," Cassie trailed off as she disconnected the phone.
I hit the gas and started quickly closing the gap between me and my sister.
***** CH. 01 - New beginnings *****
As my truck came to a stop in the driveway of my childhood home, I leaned my head onto the steering wheel and closed my eyes. I was now the man of the house so to speak and needed to take care of my mother Sara, sister Cassie, and lover Rachel appropriately.
I was not looking forward to stepping inside and having the reality of my father's death wash over me. After a few minutes sitting in the car, I took a deep breath, opened the car door and headed towards the front steps. Christmas decorations were tastefully and conservatively present all over the estate grounds. No doubt professionally done, the house looked like a scene from a Christmas movie.
