Wip Wednesday - Untitled Restaurant Fic
"Vander was a good man, really. He worked like a dog to keep a roof over our heads, The Last Drop never closed. Not once. Not on his birthday, not on my birthday," Mylo cuts off with what could be a laugh.
"He opened his doors to so many people, so many kids. He fought for us, to stay with him, even when…"
Vander had fought to get legal guardianship for all four of them, even when the courts tore his private life apart.
"Even when…"
Even when Mylo's mom popped up out of nowhere just to make their lives more difficult before fucking off to Mexico.
"Through everything." Mylo clears his throat. "He was there.”
"So uh, thanks for coming, I know pops woulda' really…he woulda' really appreciated all a youse bein here so." Mylo gestures vaguely. "Refreshments in the back, thanks so much."
Then he stumbles off the stage and Vi tries to meet his eyes, but he won’t look at her. Vi watches her little brother sit down heavily in his seat, like he’s weighted with chains. His eyes are red and his hands tremble but his face is empty.
