Jack, July by Victor Lodato

Honestly i have to say this story was weird but funny. It seems like jack has a rough july in the last 24 hours. First his girl named Rhonda dumps him for a guy named Eric. Even so jack still loves her and wants to be with her. His pride gets the better of him ; so mad he basically tell Rhonda" i don't know you" meaning whatever have a nice life. Vice versa on Rhonda part when she says"Good". Next you have Jack sister Lisa who appears out of nowhere bit of an odd one. Top that off she is accident prone with her jaw problems, nerve damaged on her right hand, shakes a lot and missing a pinky. My question is What was the cause of her misfortunes? Abusive relationships or Being Clumsy. This portion of Jack, July made me crack up a bit when he pulled down his pants at home in a small opening with a erection and a young woman of the nickname yoga pants was screaming hell and dropping a pear. The moment for me was a comedic standpoint of the story but later on we see things from jack's childhood and the mentioning of his mother. Another question i have is this a flashback or something happening in real time for jack. Plus this story takes place somewhere between the U.S and Mexico boarder.
