The Judge

Chapter 3

The next morning

I was woken up by my alarm, ringing in my ears. I yawned before getting up and changing into some black leggings and a grey t-shirt, walking down stairs. I made myself a coffee and looked at the newspaper sitting on the counter," Morning." Hank said, walking in with a apple in his hand." Morning." I said, looking at him." How'd you sleep?"
"Ok, I forgot how hard the beds were here." I put my hand on the back of my head making him chuckle," I'm gonna go and check the car."
"Yeah, I could do with some fresh air." We both left the house and I watched as Hank walked over to the garage.

I saw him walk into the garage and furrow his brows before walking back out." What?" I asked, walking over to him. He lifted the garage door, revealing a damaged car." What the-" I said, looking at one of the headlights." Hold on." He hopped in the car and moved the car outside, so we could take a better look. I kneeled down and traced over the scratches on the side of the car." Let me go and get Glen." Hank went back inside, bringing out both brothers." What's up?" Glen walked down the stairs and kneeled beside me," Look." I stood up and watched as Glen looked at the car.

"Dale, could you go and get my tool box." Dale went into the house and came out with a box of tools." Cheers." Glen took off the headlight and the placed it on the floor." What the hell did he hit?" I asked, standing at the top of the stairs." Who the hell did he hit?" Hank said, sitting beneath me, one leg resting on the wall and the other hanging off. The back door opened, revealing The Judge." Who the hell banged up my car." He asked, standing next to me." Huh, Glen where are your boys."
"What, Dad, come on they wouldn't do this-"
"No don't let him make you think this is hard." Hank said, butting in." What?"
"Who drove it last?"
"Huh?"
"We saw you leave for the store, I mean it's kinda obvious." I said, crossing my arms in front of my chest." Y/n, stay out of this, this is a family matter." Judge said, looking at me.

I scoff and look at him," Dont talk to her like that." Hank said, looking at me and then Judge." Your the last person who drove it, the proof is there." He continued." Ah." Judge smacked his hand off the railing and walked down the stairs." What about your marriage?" Judge said," What about my marriage? You don't know a fucking thing about my marriage."
"I know a lot about your marriage. She was my wife long before she was your mother...We had no secrets." Hank looked up at me and then to Glen." Are you gonna tell your brothers your having a divorce? Go ahead, tell them!" Both Dale and Glen looked at Hank," What?" Glen asked," Lisa played hide the pickle with someone else." Hank clenched his jaw before standing up and grabbing his jacket," Where are you going?" I asked, walking down the stairs." I'm never coming back here. I'm never fucking coming back here." Hank said walking over to the car." Good." Judge said, making me scowl and him.

"Y/n, are you coming?" Hank asked, opening the door and looking over at me. I look at Glen and Dale before sighing and walking over to the car, getting in. Hank also got in, slamming the car door and driving fast away. He clenched onto the steering wheel and looked out at the road." Just ignore him Hank, he doesn't know what he's talking about." I said, placing my hand on his arm. He looked at me before letting out a breath and resting into the car, not clutching onto the steering wheel." Yeah." He said, turning his attention back to the road." Have you spoke to Lisa lately?" I asked, leaning my head on my arm, while resting on the window." No. She keeps trying to message me but I'm ignoring her."
"Maybe you should talk to her, try and get the divorce papers signed as quick as possible."
"Hmmm..." He said, still looking at the road.

Time jump

We had made it onto the plane and we sat down in our seats, placing a few of our bags in the bagging area. I relaxed into the chair and looked at the chair ahead...Until Hanks phone began to ring. Hank sighed before turning his phone downwards, looking out the window." Hank, just answer the phone." I said, looking at him. He looked out the window for a few moments before picking up the phone and placing it against his ear." What do you want Glen?" He asked, moving close next to me, letting me hear Glen on the other line." I need you to come back."
"No, I'm done with him."
"Hank just shut up! Shut up for once in your life and listen to me!" Hank moved the phone and placed it on the table, looking back out the window.
