1985

After the Jason incident around two months ago Dustin came home happy again, he did ask me about it but I just told him that he probably finally got enough of bulling the freshman.

with that set, mom had asked me to teach Dustin how to drive since I'm leaving and won't be able to take him to high school anymore and Nance is graduating this year. So I have been busy in the afternoons teaching him the basics. The signs and what they meant and all that.

Like the nerd, he is he learned all that by the end of the week and today I was going to take him out to drive outside of town where we have a lower chance of him hitting a car, person, or just hitting something.

When we got there we switch seats, he gave me a nervous look.

"Okay, you're driving, and let's see Steve and Eddie are on the road. Quick, what do you hit?" I ask him.

"Oh, definitely Steve!" I let out a sigh and pinch the bridge of my nose, I mean I would too.

"No, Dustin the damn breaks! You hit the Fucken breaks!" I told him. "And this is why I'm not taking you out on the town road yet" I added.

"Sorry nervous," he told me, I could see his knuckles turning white from how hard he was gripping the steering wheel.

"That's fine, take a few deep breaths ok, now move the gear shift and move it to D" he nodded and the car began to move more like a crawl. "That's good now just press it a tiny- For fucks sake just a tiny bit" I shouted when he hit the gas all the way.

"I don't like this, I can't do this!" he shouted putting it back in parking.

"You have to learn Dustin, I won't always be able to take you everywhere," I told him.

"You sound like you are leaving or something" he laughed, I stayed quiet and switched sides with him. "Mar?" I didn't answer for a second.

"We are picking up two people I need to have a talk with you and those two people" that is all I told him for the rest of the drive.

We made it to Steve's house and I honk, two minutes later he came out. "Hey ShortStuff" he greeted.

"Get in, I have to talk to you guys," I told him, he gave me a look but got in nonetheless. We drove in silence to the trailer park.

"Are we picking up Max?" asked Dustin. I didn't answer and just like steve, I honk. The door to Eddie's trailer opened and he came out.

"ShortStuff!" he shouted running to my car.

"You know Eddie?" asked Dustin.

"Dustin this is Buzz, the friend I always hang out with, Buzz you know my brother, now get in the car I have news to share," I told him. He jump in the back and I drove back to my house.

"So what's this about?" Ask Eddie.

"I got news to share," I told him.

"How come you never told me you knew him?" asked Dustin.

"I don't know," I told him as I park my car in the driveway. To my luck, our parents weren't home. We got out and made our way inside. I guided them to the basement and sat them down on the couch.
