Masterpage
Kildare County Detention Center looms before you. You sigh, shouldering your bag before climbing the steps into the building. You smile weakly at the sheriff as you go through the process of getting scanned for any possible weapons and contraband.
“Maybank, through here,” Peterkin gestures to the enclosed room after a deputy escorts you down the hall. Several incarcerated men bang on their doors and yell at you from their cells, but you ignore them.
The room is larger than you expected. Several people sit at aluminum tables that are placed throughout for inmates and visitors to sit at while they talk. You see your dad sitting at a table. His back to you, but that does not stop the nerves from exploding inside of you. In an attempt to wipe them away, you brush your hands down your jean clad thighs. It does not work. “If you need me, you know where to find me.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
She stops you, arm barred across the doorframe before you can enter. “I’m glad you are back, Sweetheart. I hear you’ve turned over a new leaf. Now, we need to get your brother to do the same. That’s the trick.”
“I’m trying. For both of us.”
“Good. You don’t need to end up in a place like this, you hear me? Either of you.”
You nod, and she drops her arm to let you through. You slid onto the bench across from Luke. He stares at you, a smirk toying at his lips.
“And the prodigal daughter returns.”
You huff as you drop the bag of things you had with things that were allowed to be given to him onto the table. “Do you even know what that word means? You barely graduated high school if I remember correctly.”
He snorts but seizes the bag and rifles through it. “Why are you here, y/n?”
“To let you know, I’m back and cleaning up some of the mess you created.” You say, chin raised as you stand your ground. “Again.”
He smirks, picking at the pack of cards you had brought him. “My dutiful daughter. Barry found out you’re back?”
You shrug, clasping your hands together. “Barry knows. When do they think you’ll go to trial?”
“Next month.”
“A plea bargain offered yet?”
He nods, the tip of his tongue toying with the inside of his bottom lip. “Five years in prison and parole for two after.”
“Was it worth it?”
He laughs, that dark maniacal laugh you hate. “What do you think?”
“No.”
“Smart girl. You always were, you know.” He looks up at you through his lashes. “Just like your momma. You’ve always been just like her. You look like her, and you act like her too.” He goes back to digging in the bag like a toddler that is ready to count his prizes. “Thought you were gone for good.”
“I did, too,” you confess quickly. “But JJ needs someone in his corner.”
“He didn’t want to come today?”
“No.”
He frowns, shaking his head. “Ungrateful bastards, both of you.”
“Ungrateful?” You ask, venom lacing into your next words. “Ungrateful that you abused us, barely managed to provide enough food and shelter to keep us alive? Oh wait, or is it that we both had to start working when we were old enough to pay the bills because you are a cocaine addict and always gambled away our rent money?”
He rears back like you have smacked him, and you smirk at him. Pride swells inside of you because you are still able to dig back at him.
“Truth hurts, doesn’t it?”
“You are such a little shit. After everything you’ve done, you want to talk to me like this?”
“Everything I’ve done?” Your eyebrows raise, and your gaze hardens. “If I remember correctly, I almost ruined my future getting you out of debt with a drug dealer because you couldn’t pay for your cocaine habit.”
He shakes his head. “You started with him before my debt ever came up.”
You ignore his retort as the anger builds inside of you. “I’m not scared of you anymore. And I will be making damn sure JJ isn’t. You gave us nothing and took everything. This will be the last time you see me. You will never see him again. Not if I have any say.”
You begin to get to your feet and leave him, but he snaps and reaches out after jumping to his feet. He grabs your wrist tightly, yanking you against the table to keep you there.
“Who are you to walk away from me?!”
“Let. Me. Go.”
His grip tightens, and he yanks hard. You gasp, pain spreading up your arm and around your hips, as he tugs you harshly against the table’s edge.
“Inmate Maybank, let her go,” Peterkin orders from across the room. She and four other deputies are in the room along with the original set of guards. Several other inmates and their families look up to see what the commotion is about. Your cheeks redden as all the attention in the room shifts to you. “Let her go, now.”
“Not until she apologizes for being a brat!” He tightens his grip again, and you wince, body bowing from pain, curling away from him as he glares at you. His sole focus is on causing you the most pain he can now. “Apologize! I raised you better than this.”
“You didn’t raise me at all.” You spit at him and try to yank your arm back, but he only yanks you closer again. The upper half of your body practically pulled over the tabletop. “Big John did, The Cut did, you did nothing!”
“Let her go!” Peterkin demands louder, a taser lifted in his direction. “Luke, I will tase you right now if you do not.”
He lets you go and shoves you harshly away from him. You fall backward over the bench. You close your eyes tightly, ready to topple over, but a strong grip prevents you from crashing into the floor.
Deputy Thomas glares at Luke after he helps you back onto your feet, and you glance around, fighting the tears of humiliation. Peterkin steps up to your side and reaches for your wrist.
“I’m fine,” you whisper, carefully moving your wrist away from her reach.
“If you’re sure.”
You nod, turning your attention to your dad. You would not give him the satisfaction of seeing your crack under his aggression anymore. “I just need to say goodbye.”
“Okay,” she murmurs, and gestures for the other four to leave the room with her.
After they are gone, the attention seems to shift away from you both. You raise your chin and glare at him. “You might be my family, and I wish I could say I loved you. But I don’t. You are terrible, you’re horrible, and I hope that you rot in here,” you mutter as you rub your injured wrist. Tears sting your eyes, but you refuse to cry in front of him. You will hold it in until you get to your car. “Enjoy your time in prison.”
You leave him behind, and despite your hopes for him not to, he screams after you. Your name and profanities blend perfectly enough together to drag you back to your childhood.
Once you are in the safety of your car, you exhale, pressing your forehead to the steering wheel. Nails bite into your thighs when you grip your legs and try to calm your racing heart. Old tendencies ache to be unleashed so that you can take out the hurt brewing in you. To release it from under your skin. You nor JJ would ever come back to visit him. Not after today.
The tears brim over and streak down your face as you shiver at the reminders of childhood. Of that haunted look in his eyes as he assaulted you. It is the same look her had when he used to yell at you and abuse you because you were too much like your mom.
After getting control of yourself and trapping that damaged little girl back in her hiding hole, you head to Figure 8. A shift at the Island Club is the last thing you want to do, but it is what you have to do. Finding a parking spot is the first thing you do before you shut off the car and dig out a makeup remover wipe to use on your face with hopes to try and get rid of the tearstains on your cheeks, and that is when you notice it. A brilliant red mark is left from Luke’s grip on your wrist. You will bruise, just like you always do after he hurts you. And this one is a very public bruise, unable to be hidden by clothing because long sleeves during summer in a beach town would raise just as many questions.
“Welcome to chaos,” Summer greets you at the door of the girl's locker room when you emerge from changing into your Island Club uniform.
Confusion paints across your features, and you stare at her for a moment. “What chaos? It’s a Wednesday.”
“Lauren went out to deliver a drink to Mr. Beckett and hasn’t returned.”
“What?”
She nods, not impressed with the bartender’s actions. “And then Gerald went to find her, and he is missing too.”
“How long?” You ask as you tie your apron into place. Being down a bartender and a barback is not a good thing, especially when the backup is not due to arrive for another two hours.
“An hour nearly since Lauren went and fifteen since Gerald went.”
“And no one has seen them?”
She shakes her head, and you look at your watch.
“I have ten minutes to spare before I’m even allowed to touch the timecard system. I’m going to go look.”
“Please for the love of the ocean, come back when your shifts begins!” She begs, and you wave at her with a laugh as you jog to the golf course. The first mission, find Mr. Beckett, and maybe they are with him. If not, the second mission is to track them down. Sometimes the older guests could be demanding and promising a good tip if you stuck it out with them, which is the most likely reason that they have gone missing.
“Well, look who it is!”
You smile tightly when you see Kelce grinning at you and Topper not far behind him. “Hey, Kelce.”
He offers you a fist bump, and you take it, not wanting to start anything.
“Your boyfriend should be coming soon. Reese lost one of his golf clubs during a swing.”
You giggle, picturing him swinging the club, and it goes flying along with the ball.
���Right into the water hazard, it was glorious,” Topper supplies with a gloating grin. “What are you doing out here? Are you a cart girl today?”
“No, looking for Lauren and Gerald.”
Kelce shakes his head, looking around. “Haven’t seen them.”
“They were helping Mr. Beckett.”
“Oh!” Kelce grins. “He’s out by the sixteenth hole.”
“Of course he is,” you frown, looking around for a staff member on a golf cart. “Thanks, Kelce!”
“Anytime.”
You wave at him and ignore Topper, who is grinning like the cat that ate the canary as you walk away. You shiver in disgust before climbing one of the grassy hills to see if you can spot them or a golf cart to temporarily use.
“What are you doing out here?”
You sigh, eyes closing briefly when it is Rafe that meets you at the top. Likely on his way to his two kook friends.
“Are you a cart girl now?”
“Nope. Just looking for two staff people.”
“Lauren and Gerald?”
You nod, squinting against the sun. “Have you seen them?”
“Sixteenth hole.”
You huff, kicking the toe of your shoe into the grass. “I’ve heard.” You plant your hands on your hips, judging if walking out there is worth being late and risking Summer having a panic attack. “I should’ve grabbed a golf cart.”
He smirks, squinting against the sun before he shifts his club to his other hand. “You look like you’ve been crying.”
Your attention snaps to him in surprise, and he shrugs, looking away.
“I was.”
The silence hangs for a second, and you reach up to fix your hair in an attempt to busy yourself. When you had dated, Rafe always had a way of knowing when you had been crying, even if you redid your makeup to cover it up. You never could figure out how he knew when no one else ever did.
“Have anything to do with the mark on your wrist?”
Another huff escapes you, and you turn your attention back to him. “You are too observant, you know.”
“I know you.”
“You used to,” you amend, closing your eyes briefly. “I went to the detention center, saw my dad.”
“And?”
“And he grabbed me,” you shrug before taking a step past him. The conversation is turning in a direction that you would rather not have with him. “Just like old times.”
He groans, shaking his head. “Why’d you go?”
“To see if he was getting out soon.”
“And?”
You bite your lip and look at him, tipping your head. “Why do you care?”
He stares at you, his gaze hardening by the second. “Forget it, Maybank. Enjoy your walk.” He turns his back to you and walks away, and you notice the hard tension in his shoulders and the way his neck has a slight red hue to it. Kelce and Topper joke with him loud enough that you can hear them, and it answers whether the walk is worth it or not for you. You would much rather make the walk than have to pass that trio again to get back to the clubhouse.
You spot Mav and Reese once you are clear of the next dune. Reese’s shorts are damp from wading into the water hazard, but he seems happy from what you can tell.
“Hey!” Reese grins, hugging you before Mav can. “What are you doing out here?”
You smile at him, patting his shoulders, and he drops you onto your feet. You shake your head at him as you hug Mav, sinking into his chest that you have found someone you want to be near. “I heard someone lost a club to a water hazard...”
Mav laughs as Reese rolls his eyes, grumbling about his misfortune.
“Kidding,” you laugh while staying pressed to Mav’s side. “Hunting two stray staff members.”
“Want me to walk with you?” Mav asks, his hand tightening around yours.
You shake your head. “I think I’ve got it. Enjoy golfing. I’ll see you later though, okay?”
Reese grins, his gaze shifting between the two of you. “She coming to the cookout tonight?”
Mav groans, shaking his head. “I hadn’t asked her yet.”
“My bad,” Reese mumbles before shrugging. “Ask her now. See you later, y/n.”
“Later,” you laugh as he runs off, unfazed by his slip-up. You turn to Mav and frown at the defeated look on his face. “It’s fine, Mav. I can play dumb if you want.”
He shakes his head and widens his stance to allow himself to be closer to your height. His lips brush your forehead. “Will you come to my family’s cookout tonight?”
Your eyes widen a bit at the realization. “Like meet your parents?”
He shrugs. “They’ll be there.”
“But…” Your mouth goes dry.
“They know about you already if that is your concern.”
“Ah,” you murmur before looking off over the visible parts of the course and the ocean at the edge. “Then yes, I will come.”
“Yeah?” He asks, happiness spreading through him as he cups your face with both hands.
You nod before leaning up on your toes to peck his lips. “I’d love to.”
“Good!” He smiles, and you run your fingers up his forearms to his hands. “Now that we have that out of the way, I have another question.”
“Go for it.”
“Have you been crying?”
The serotonin boost is temporary as you deflate and huff again. “Maybe.”
“Why?”
“Rough morning.”
His lips press into a line, and he gently lifts your marked wrist. “Have something to do with this?”
“Also, maybe.”
“What happened?”
You exhale and try to ignore the sadness as you watch him examine your wrist. “Nothing major. I’m okay, I promise.”
He frowns, his touch gentle as he flips your wrist over to inspect the inside of your wrist. “You can tell me, you know. It’s part of how dating works…” He looks at you with a teasing tilt to his lips, but you can see the concern in his eye. His attention shifts back to your injury, head bending over your wrist to inspect it further. “You don’t have to lie for my benefit, y/n. I like you, all of you.”
You blush a little and carefully pull your wrist from his hands. “Okay, truth then...” You fidget with your fingers for a second before meeting his gaze again. “I went to visit my dad in jail. He’s awaiting trial, and I went to see if there is a possibility he would get released anytime soon.”
“Is he?”
“No.”
“Is that a good thing or a bad thing?” Mav attempts to read you.
“Good. If he gets out, then I can’t stay here.”
He frowns. “Why not?”
“It’s a long story.” You murmur, glancing back at the clubhouse. You are late now and likely sending Summer into a spiral. “But he used to abuse me. It is one of the many reasons I had to move away a few years ago.”
Mav nods before clearing his throat. “I can keep you safe, you know. So you can stay…”
You smile, stepping into his space. “Thank you, but I’m safe with him in jail. And I’m staying… some people need me here.”
Mav smiles at you. “Good.”
You smile at him, dragging your hand over his arm. "Now that we have caught up and I've agreed to meet your parents, I need to go find my coworkers, okay?"
He smiles before leaning in and kissing you. You kiss him back before patting his waist and starting the trek out to the sixteenth hole.
