Sherry walked in the front door. It had been a long day of classes at the Minneapolis Community College. And now she had to get dinner ready. Life had been hard since Mom had died. Dad drank a lot and she at 20 was doing most of the parenting for her younger brother Justin. At 18, Justin was becoming quite the man. Unfortunately, he had all the responsibility of an eight year old.
Sherry cooked dinner, a small roast with some potatoes and broccoli. By the time Dad came home from work it was done. He would have a good appetite from spending the day building foundation walls at his construction job. He and Justin sat at the table as she served. As the oldest woman in the house, she had been pushed into the role of homemaker after Momâs death six years ago; it didnât leave her a lot of time for a social life between that and school. Justin was Dadâs pride and joy, playing hockey and football for his high school up until he had graduated last month. Now he was deciding which college to go to. He had several offers from excellent schools that even included financial aid packages. She stopped a moment in serving them and looked at the family picture from just before the accident. Mom was so pretty. Sherry was proud to have a strong resemblance to her mother.
Justin and Dad ate the food, talking about sports and carsâŚguy stuff. Dad worked on his third beer since getting home. He was following his usual Friday pattern. The better part of a case of pour down his throat and he would fall asleep on the couch. Sometimes, Justin would drink with him, other times; heâd go out with friends.
The men finished their food and she cleaned the table off as they went into the living room to see what was on the tube. As Sherry loaded the dishwasher, Justin walked into the kitchen.
âIâm taking off Sher, thereâs a party at Lanceâs place tonight, wanna go?â He asked.
âNo, Iâve got a paper I am going to be working on and thereâs still a lot of cleanup here to do. Thanks though.â
âSure, later Sis.â
As Justin departed, Dad came into the kitchen and began loading the beer for the nightsâ slurp fest into the fridge. He said nothing to her. He rarely did. They were different people with different interests, Sherry understood this. Or maybe, she just reminded him too much of her.
He went back to the living room and watched the TV as she finished up in the kitchen. Sherry passed through the living room and told her father sheâd be in her room, studying, if he needed anything. He barely acknowledged her presence. With a muted sigh, she walked upstairs and into her room. With no pause, she pulled her clothing off and put on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. She stopped for a second and unhooked her bra from underneath, sliding it out the sleeve to get it off the last arm.
âAhh, thatâs better.â She scratched underneath her breasts where the wire of the bra cut into her and around the sides as far as she could reach.
Sherry turned on her stereo just loud enough for her to hear and settled in to study. Sherry worked on her paper for several hours, but eventually fell asleep on her bed.
She awoke to the noise of incoherent screaming. Sitting bolt upright, she glanced at the clock. It was 11:39PM. She ran into the hallway. The noise was coming from downstairs. She bolted for the stairs, worried that something had happened to her father. As she descended, the screaming became clearer. âYeah! Thatâs it! Fuck her! Fuck that bitch!â and other obscenities emanated from the living room. She stopped at the bottom of the stairs, eyes wide with shock. There, naked on the couch was her father, masturbating as he watched a porn. The television volume was way up. That was where the noise was coming from. Six men were fucking a skinny blonde. They were yelling at whoever was between her legs at the moment.
âUh, Dad? Could we turn the sound down a bit? The neighbors might hearâŚâ She said as she walked towards the TV.
His eyes drifted over to her. She saw that they had the deeply glazed look of intoxication. He mumbled something as his hand skinned up and down his cock.
âWhat?â Sherry asked as she stepped closer, trying to hear. âWhat did you say Dad?â
Sherry eased over to her father. His glazed eyes tracked her the whole way. The mumbling became clearer over the din of the playing porno.
âEmma. I love you Emma. I miss you. You loved all those cocks you tookâŚI loved watching youâŚ.â He muttered to himself.
