Description

The JackalThey say that the apple never really falls far from the tree-no matter how withered the branch or how rotten the core.Don't get me wrong, I'm sure that my dad is a great guy, but he never counted on me showing up. None of them did, and that's exactly what's going to make this so fun. We won't talk about my mother because chances are, he doesn't even remember who she is. To most people that's important, but not if you're a Meyer.I just want to make amends with him before I move on-not that I've done him wrong, it's more the other way around. He was too busy getting his rocks off to be a father and that's understandable. I don't fault him for it. Hell, I would have done the same thing.Guess we'll see if he lives up to the legends I've heard about him because if I'm going this far, I expect fireworks.The TagalongThis better be worth my time.I didn't want to drive hundreds of miles just to stare at someone that's supposed to be some kind of god. But my partner-in-crime promises that whatever happens will be something neither of us will ever forget, and I never could say no to a good adventure. I've heard weird rumors that his father lives with another man-someone he "won" from some girl they both used to hang out with, and honestly, that's the only reason I came. Besides knowing that the jackal would lose what little grip he has left on reality if his father doesn't meet his expectations, I'm curious about how someone could be so easily manipulated.Lucky for me, I'm not one of those people.The Stowaway If either of them find me, they're going to be pissed off. I just hate that they're always going places without me when I want to go too. He told me that he was my friend but he slights me at every turn. She said she has nothing against me but she acts like I don't exist when he's around.What's so special about him, anyway? It can't be his personality because that sucks something fierce. He's the most arrogant person I've ever met in my life, but if I looked like him, I guess I would be as well. He seemed really excited when they hopped in her car to drive to ... I don't even know where we're headed. I'm just lucky enough that they haven't found me yet and maybe when they do, they won't mind.After all, where am I supposed to go when I'm in a place I won't even know?
