IN THE GROOVE-STORY IN PROGRESS BY CHERYL V.

IN THE GROOVE

Martin was gone from my life, again. So, this, actually to me, means, I have that great need in my life to have someone else to lean on, jus because in having jus lost him, has been responsible for creating this feeling inside of me. This means, that because I am feeling like I have managed, somehow, to put Martin’s funeral behind me, although, I don’t understand how I have been able to do so.

I’m feeling free of Martin, so, this has made me, want to concentrate on trying to get Rob back in my heart, and for him, to love me like he used to before Martin came back into my life..

So, then, for some uncanny, I could, hardly, believe, that it has been jus last night, when Rob and I had had our special funeral ritual for Martin.

Upon waking up in the next morning, I didn’t know, exactly, why, however, it seemed so surprising for me, to wake up with Rob beside me in the bedroom inside his cabin. This is, probably, because it has, really, been some time, since, I have had the actual experience of him, even having slept overnight with me in his bed.

I didn’t even need an alarm clock to get me up, either. And upon seeing Rob, laying next to me, still, sleeping, I couldn’t figure out, exactly, why he didn’t get up for work, this morning because he was supposed to have left for the resort about an hour ago.

So, then, upon me, getting out of bed after having a good stretch, instead of Rob, making breakfast for me like he, usually, does, I decided to walk right into the kitchen in my pale blue robe and a nightgown to match. I was in so much of a hurry, this morning, to get breakfast going, I didn’t even think of changing my clothes. All I did, upon getting out of bed, was doing some refreshing for me by throwing some cold water on my face.

Upon reaching the kitchen, I opened up the refrigerator, and got some eggs and bacon out of it. Then, I felt this uncanny air about me, as though, Martin’s ghost was near me, as I scrambled some eggs and cooked the bacon in the same Teflon pan, which jus happened to be setting on the gas stove.

As I was getting breakfast ready for the two of us, the funeral ritual from last night, jus seemed to go through my head. I, actually, was having these visions of the whole thing. It was like; I was reliving the whole funeral for Martin, all over again. There, jus before myself, I happened to be seeing myself, all dressed up in a pair of black slacks with a black plain tee shirt with a black leather vest over it. And there, before my eyes, I, also, happened to be seeing Rob, also, wearing black clothes. However, he was wearing all leather except for a black Harley-Davidson tee shirt along with his favorite Harley-Davidson hat, which has the flame insignia on it.

In this vision, while I was jus standing, there, at the garden on the left side of the cabin, he was setting down that statue of an angel, which looked like it was reading something from a book. Then, in front of the statue, I saw myself, as I sprinkled Martin’s ashes, right there, and upon doing so, set some rocks from the garden around where I jus put his ashes. And then, still, being in this vision, Rob was beside me, kneeling down right in front of the statue with me, while we were contemplating prayers to ourselves in a certain manner, jus like we two had done the night before. The prayers, which we two had said to ourselves, seemed to be fully occupying my mind at this time.

Then, suddenly, I seemed to come out of this vision, of what has been like for me, as if I sank into some daze in a world full of clouds, which were all around me, covering every empty space in that world.

And upon doing so, I, almost, burned the bacon and eggs, as I, finally, took them out of the pan, and set a couple pieces of bacon and some eggs onto two plates, which, already, were setting out on the counter. And I jus realized that Rob was one, whom got out the plates, mugs, and silverware for breakfast. And he jus got through brewing some coffee for breakfast.

Here, I am, jus standing, there, right beside him in front of the stove, not even aware of when he, first, walked right into the kitchen, wearing the clothes, which he had changed into, jus before leaving for the cabin. Since, that day while, still, at the resort, he had been wearing his good clothes, a black shirt along with black dress pants.

Then, Rob took it upon him, without, actually, thinking about what he was doing, to, briefly, wrap his arms around me. And while not knowing why, he was acting this way, I, then, didn’t, really, want him ever to let go of me. And then, upon him, setting the breakfast on the table along with two mugs of coffee, the two of us, then, seemed to stare into each other’s eyes, like if we didn’t even know each other.


And staring at each other, really, seemed like this was a weird way for the two of us, to act, since; he had been gone for a couple of months over at the resort, without even once, having thought about giving me, a call, at any time. And, of course, since, he hadn’t been calling me, either, I hadn’t bothered calling him up, mostly, because I never had any idea, he even ever left the phone number for his cabin over at the resort, with me, in one of his dresser drawers.

The two of us, then, ate our breakfast in which seemed to be an uncanny silence, with us two, not even knowing what to say to each other, like if a cat had our tongues. This, partly, was because that morning, both of us, were having Martin on our minds. And he seemed to be occupying our minds, jus like if he was our brother. And this was, partly, true, because Martin, always, acted around me, like he was my own brother.

However, upon the two of us, finishing eating breakfast, and being the two of us, were, still, jus sitting, there, at the dining room table, jus drinking our coffee, finally, Rob decided to break the silence.

Although, he didn’t know, if his words were going to come out, right, he, then, in a curious mood, said to me, “My darling, I don’t, really, know how to put all of what is on my mind, right now, into some simple words. However, it jus seems like ever since, last night, I thought, we were starting to wear off on each other. In jus the two of us, having that funeral for Martin, last night, must have done something to bring us, back together, in one way or another. This seems to be quite true, because jus now, I found myself, wrapping my arms around your waist, without even being aware of what I was doing. So, how do you think, we stand with each other at this time?”

“For one thing, I, really, think, that in making an effort to have that funeral service for Martin, last night, and in doing it, together, is one sign. That the two of us are starting to wear off on each other, again, and at this time, I am aware of some feelings for you, starting to seep back into my heart. Now, are you, having any feelings for me at this stage in our relationship? Do you, actually, still, love me, or is it jus that you feel like you’re jus being a brother to me at this stage of the game?”

“It’s, actually, that at this time, I am kind of feeling a little shy towards you. I think that this is, partly, because we have been away from each other, so much, ever since, I have gone back to my seasonal job over at the resort. So, I think that I should do something about this situation, if we ever are going to feel all that love, we, once, had for each other. Then, I think that I should think about quitting that job over at the resort, and then, trying to get a job, some other place, which won’t interfere with trying to get our relationship, back together.”

“You, really, think, Rob, that getting a job, some place else, are going to help solve what we have been going through. Then, you’d better think twice about what situation, the two of us are involved in at this time. First, I think that before we can get back together, again, and start loving each other, again. That we’ve got to concentrate on getting over having had Martin in our lives, especially, that he, actually, has, always, been a burden in our lives, jus because all which he had gone through, which has been interfering, somewhat with our love for each other, has to be resolved.”

“So, what, really, are you asking me to do for you? Do you think that I can jus put it all behind me, like I even had Martin in my life, in the first place?”

“No, that’s not what I’m getting at, Rob. What I, really, think is that the two of us should jus go ahead, and try very hard to talk about the feelings, which have been causing Martin, to interfere in our lives, when he used to be alive. So, what do you want to bring up, first? I’ll leave it up to you, to, first, bring up some of your feelings about Martin, if you, possibly, can speak about any of them at this time. And in jus making an effort to do so, I’m sure will do a lot to bring all that shyness back out of you.”

“Well, I’ll start with how Martin has been affecting our relationship, ever since, he, supposedly, came back from the dead. Although, he, actually, had never been dead in the first place. What I’m getting at, right now, is the fact that I have been working more than usual over at the resort, jus because when he came back into our lives, it seemed like he jus went ahead, and tore the two of us apart. So, what do you; think we should do about this? Do you want me to leave my job, permanently, or do you, first, want to try to get a job over at the resort?”

“You are jumping the gun, Rob; the only thing, which stopped me from getting a job over there to begin with, was the fact that I ended up, being the one, who got stuck, taking care of him. Therefore, when he was alive, I ended up looking after him, all the time, because when you were over at the resort, I didn’t ever know where to turn to get help for him. This has been, mostly, because I never thought, that the doctor, who used to take care of him, ever would leave him, alone, like if Martin has been his chastity blanket. It was, only, after he was forced to go back into jail, lately, that I started to feel free from him. That was until Martin, started leaning on me, more, to give him, all the care, he needed. However, apparently, I never succeeded in that job, especially, because all the loneliness, he had been feeling over losing a twin, really, started dominating his life, bringing right to his mind, what, actually, caused his death.”

BACKFLASH

Martin, originally, had committed suicide, jus because the doctor, who had taken care of him at the times, he had ended up in the hospital, had caused him, endless pain and suffering. The doctor had accomplish this towards Martin through an act of revenge, through having put drugs, fullerenes, into Martin’s IV at the two times, he had been hospitalized. And during the times, he had been hospitalized, the doctor, for some odd reason, the doctor had wanted, badly, to see him, dead.

However, these fullerenes jus ended up, only, placing him in a state where his body temperature was low. Therefore, these drugs, only, then, made him, appear like he was stone dead when he, still, was live, although, his body had been functioning at state where he, barely, had been alive while having been buried underground in his grave.

So, this had caused him to suffer needless torture, which had caused him to be unable to live a full life. And then, the doctor had gone ahead, and taken out Martin’s liver, almost, causing him to die. And then, a court order forced on him, had made him, put him through even more torture, through making him, go through having to get a liver transplant.

And then, following his liver transplant, one of his twins happened to die due to a freak accident caused by the same doctor. Being Martin had ended up losing one of his twins through this freak accident jus because the twin had been operated too early during his life due to an enlarged heart; then, this became way too much for Martin to have to endure during life. So, then, as a result, he., then, to get out of the suffering, this had been causing him, he took his own life through committing suicide with kitchen knife.

At this time, there was no doubt about it. Rob and I had to work on getting our lives back together. So, one of the first things, he did was go back to the resort, one morning, to try to get his job back. However, first he made sure that Mr. Kellerman needed me for a job over there, because Rob and I didn’t want to end upon, falling apart, again, like we had when Martin was in our lives. Rob, originally, had kept living over at the resort, and hadn’t made any effort to call me at any time, jus because he knew I fell in love with Martin, again. And that I, constantly, was catering to Martin’s needs after he had that liver transplant surgery, and never have seemed to care about his needs while taking care of Martin.

So, one sunny morning, Rob jus hopped into his black and white ’57 Chevy, and took me with him jus because he wanted me to try to get a job, also, over at the resort. So, that the two of us would get to see each other, more often. And this arrangement would help us, get back together, again, like we used to be jus before we found out that Martin had, suddenly, appeared into our lives, through, somehow, being able to get out of his grave.

However, this is one thing, which neither us will be able to figure out, because Martin had to have been a ghost at that time, in order, for him to be able to get out of his grave by himself, unless someone had happened to overhear him, crying to get out of his grave, which at that time, had been, highly, unlikely to happen

So, upon us two, arriving over at the resort, we hopped right out of the Chevy, which, now, had a new window in one side of the car. This he had done, being because at one time, when Rob and I were trying to get away from the resort when we had been dancing partners, a couple of years ago, he had ended up knocking out one of the windows, jus because he had his keys, locked inside the car at that time.

Then, we started walking towards the main building where we figured, Mr. Kellerman would be at, because he was the owner of the resort. And he spent the majority of his time on his job inside the main building, trying to keep the main dancers in control of all the guests. This, always, was so that the main dancers could do their job of, always, keeping the guests, who were spending time over at the resort, in a happy state.

So, upon entering the main building, in the middle of the afternoon, we jus didn’t happen to catch him over there. This was jus because he happened to be out to lunch in the restaurant over at the resort.

Upon the main announcer, who jus happened to be inside the main building at this time, Mr. Kellerman’s nephew, Mike and cousin of Rob, whose Mr. Kellerman’s son, said to Rob and me, “Do you two happen to be looking for Mr. Kellerman? Because if you two are looking for him, he’s in the restaurant on a break, having some lunch at this time. Do you two want me to take you over to where the restaurant is at?”

“Yes, this would be such a good idea, because that one day on which I had to leave my job as a dancing partner, Mike, I think that Mr. Kellerman might have gotten a little mad at me over the situation. Although, before I left, that day, I had left him know that I had to leave jus because a friend of mine, Martin, had jus killed himself, that day. And I had to get home to Cherry, jus because she didn’t know what else to do about the situation.”

So, then, Mike walked with me and Rob as a big downpour jus started up on the way over to the restaurant. And once, all of us arrived, there, at the restaurant, then, all of us were soaking wet, upon us, walking inside the restaurant, although, Mr. Kellerman happened to be sitting down at a booth, still, eating his lunch, Mike, Rob, and I walked over to him.

And as we arrived over at the booth, where Mr. Kellerman happened to be sitting, then, he, certainly, has a surprised look on his face, as he jus happened to notice me along with Rob.

And he, certainly, originally, had the impression, that Rob had walked off his job, and wasn’t going to be arriving back at it for awhile, being that he had known that Martin had gone to his death, that one night. And that Rob had to get over to the cabin, jus so that I wouldn’t freak out, and happen to end up doing the wrong thing, that would cause me to end up as a suspect in a murder, which happened, anyway, jus because, that night, Rob had decided to call the cops. And then, that same night, both the cops and a detective had ended up getting both Rob and I arrested for something, we didn’t do in the first place, like causing Martin’s death.

Then, Mr. Kellerman invited Rob and me to take a seat in the booth across from him, and to fire at him, whatever we went over to the resort to talk about in the first place.

So, then, Rob said to Mr. Kellerman with a voice which was somewhat shaky, being he expected Mr. Kellerman to end up turning both him and I down for jobs over at the resort. However, Mr. Kellerman said to both of us, “What brings you two over to the resort, today? I got the impression, originally, that neither of you ever were going to return over to the resort to get any kind of job. I had considered, that both of you had given up on working over here, for good.”

“What brings us, here, to the resort, is the fact, that both of us want our jobs back as dancing partners, if possible. This is, mostly, because ever since, I have been working, here, at the resort, in the last few months, both Cherry and I have ended up starting to grow apart. And now, both of us want to get back together, and we thought that in the two of us, getting a job over at the resort would be a good booster for our relationship.”
“The thing is, here, that day, on which you, Rob, left the resort; I figured by the way, you had been acting, that very day. That you were considering quitting your job at the resort, for good. And another thing that had happened to be going through my mind for a while was that I thought that Cherry, also, had given up on going back here, again, for a job, too.”

“She, originally, had given up her job over at the resort, or even the thought of getting a job, over here, jus because Martin had reappeared, mysteriously, back into her life. And when he did, she got stuck with providing care for him, jus because his doctor had done something to him, which had made it, necessary, for Cherry to be responsible for looking after him. So, now, that Martin is out of our lives, for good, we both want to get our jobs back, especially, because in being dance partners, was good for our relationship, and had caused us to fall in love. That was while the two of us were both dancing partners, that one time, over here, at the resort.”

“Okay, I’m glad to hear this, jus because the two dancers, who, currently, are working over at the resort, are thinking of quitting, soon, jus because they have been having the same problem, which you two have been going through. So, the two of them, really, surprised me, lately, when they both came up to me, one night, and jus, literally, walked out on all the guests, leaving me to find someone else to fill their jobs. And I jus had been lucky at the time, to be able to find some fill-ins for their jobs, because if I hadn’t, then, I could have lost my job, over here, at the resort, jus because I wouldn’t have been able to find any other way to keep the guests happy.”

“Would you, Cherry, also, be interested in a waitress job for the restaurant? There’s, currently, my nephew, Mike, working at this restaurant. However, I do need some waitresses, like you, working for me, here, as well. Don’t forget that I, also, own this restaurant, in addition, to owning the rest of this resort. And if it was for me, living, here, at the resort, year round, that this resort never would have survived, either would it have prospered into having so many guests come year round when the resort is open for the season. During the rest of the year, I, mostly, spend time in repairs all over the resort besides in doing some hiking during the year in the fall and winter when the resort is closed for the season.”

“Well, I would like to, really, be a dance partner over here at the resort. However, if you don’t have any openings at the time, then, I would like to have a waitress job, over here, during the time when Rob is working as a dance partner over here. However, is there any way, right now, that Rob can have his dancing partner job back?”

“Yes, he can have his job back, very soon, because the resort has jus opened back up for the season. And as I, already, have told you, the two dancers, already, here, are quitting. So, in the meanwhile, until they have, officially, quit their jobs, you, Cherry, are welcome to be a backup dancer at the times of the year when the two main dancers, really, need a backup to cover the times in which they need to have a break from it all. In the meantime, you, also, can be a waitress over in this restaurant, too. And I, always, make sure, that anyone who works under me gets paid, really, good for their jobs, too.”

“Okay, the two of us are free to start right away at our jobs, and another thing is, that is she allowed in my cabin at night when I am through with my job?”

“I don’t know why you, always, were asking me about this because all employees are free to do whatever they want when their working days are over with. And being that you, Cherry, will be starting out as a waitress, come see me over at the main building right after I’m done eating lunch, here. And then, you, Rob, also, come with her, and meet me over at the main building, also.”

“Okay, Mr., Kellerman, I think that you are getting a little ahead of it all.”

“And I’ll set you up in some way or another, that you can spend your time in the main building, keeping the guests happy. And it can be done without being a dancer all the time. Until you get a job as a dancing partner, I’ll allow you to greet the guests at the door.”

“So, I’ll be greeting the guests at the door for now, that’ll be so groovy, because I know what it used to be like when Mike, here, used to have that job. However, I know you’re lucky to have him, here, at the resort, jus because I think he’s such a good announcer and boss for me, too, when I’m being a greeter and whenever I get that job as a dance partner.”

“And for that job, and for your waitress job, Cherry, you can be sure, that you both will be receiving good tips from the guests, for you, Rob, for free dance lessons and greeting at the door. And for you, Cherry, you will be getting paid very good tips, also, for your job, here, at the restaurant. The reason, I want you two to come over with me to the main building, is to get your outfits, and I’ll provide you too with more information about when you two will be able to join the others over at the resort in being dance partners.”

Being that Mr, Kellerman, finally, was done eating, and talking to Rob and I, for now, Mike went his way and back to his job as an announcer and became Rob’s and my boss, again. And Rob and I, then, followed Mr. Kellerman out of the restaurant, and were on our way over to the main building.

Upon Rob and I and Mr. Kellerman arriving over at the main building, the rain, finally, has stopped for the rest of the day, at least. And then, Mr. Kellerman led us over to his office, which, also, is located in the main building in back of the entertainment section, the stage of the main building.

It, surely, was all lighted up in the back part of the building. However, once, we all arrived inside the office of Mr. Kellerman, then, he had us, sit down in these plush black leather chairs. And there, we had more business talk with him. And so, then, he started by talking to Rob about his new job, which he was going to start, very soon.

So, then, with an authoritive voice of an owner, Mr. Kellerman said to Rob, while I was sitting, there, jus listening into the conversation, “Well, Rob, my boy, I am glad to have you back at the resort for the seasonal job. And you can be sure, that being when it gets close to dusk, that you will be having plenty of guests to take care of at the main doors of the building.”

“I know that the pay might differ from when I was a dancing partner. However, about how much should I be expecting from you as me, becoming guest greeter in this building?”

“Let’s not discuss pay, since, Cherry is sitting beside you. And if she finds out that she might be getting different pay from you. This might cause the two of you to grow apart, again, and this is one thing, we don’t need to happen between such a lovely couples as you two are. Jus be sure that you both will be getting good money for your jobs, if you two agree to be hard workers.

So, then, Rob said to him with a curious voice, “You can expect that the two of us are going to be good workers, no matter what kind of job we end up with.”

Then, Mr. Kellerman said to me with a curious voice and much surprise in his voice, “You, Cherry, as a waitress in my restaurant, can expect to get very good tips compared with a regular restaurant in this area. And the tips will end up to be a lot bigger than you could expect in a regular restaurant, too. And here, is a waitress outfit for you, Cherry, and you, Rob, here’s the official outfit to wear as a greeter. And now, the two of you can go ahead, and join the rest of the guests in the building, until it’s time for the two of you to get going on your jobs. In fact, go ahead, and go over to one of the special changing rooms, located on the sides of the stage, and put on your outfits, because the two of you will be starting your jobs in a half hour.”

So, then, after the two of them headed over to one of the special rooms, one for women and one for men, the two both seemed to be very quick about changing, as both of them were out of the rooms in what seemed like no time at all.

Then, Rob jus went ahead, and took his place at the doors of the main building, very confident. That he would have no trouble at all in figuring out, exactly, how he should act when greeting any of the guests into the main building. And upon getting the cue from Mr. Kellerman to take his place over at the main doors, he, finally, walked over there. And it seemed to him, like the guests, really, were swarming into the building, like flies.

And then, respectfully, Mr. Kellerman led me over to the restaurant, as soon, as he started feeling like he needed me on the floor over at the restaurant, located in the resort area.

As I entered the restaurant area, then, his supervisor over at the restaurant, Mr. Glen Kellerman, upon noticing me, walking inside the place, he said to me in a confident voice, “Hey you, do you happen to be Cherry, Rob’s girlfriend, one of the new waitresses, who is supposed to start her new shift, now?”

I answered him, with much urgency and excitement in my voice, as I, at this time, was feeling overly eager about starting my new job as a waitress in the owner’s, Mr. Kellerman’s restaurant, “Yes, I am her, and can I ask you, your name by the way, sir? Are you, by chance, related to him in any way, because it has seemed to me, that every person over at the resort, who I have happened to run into today, has been related to him, in one way or another?”

“In fact, it jus happens to be true, that I, really, am related to Mr. George Kellerman, the owner, and my real name happens to be Glen Kellerman. However, you can jus call me, by my first name, because George doesn’t go for anyone, who works, here, at his restaurant, to be expected to act official. He deserves for me to, always, act like if I’m a member of the family, and to be sure to show everybody, I run into that I am. Also, this means that he expects you, to do this, too, although, you are quite new to this establishment. Although, to you, this may seem to be a bit awkward, at first, for you, to be acting this ways towards me and whoever happens to work along with me at this restaurant, respectively.”

So, then, upon me, having walked over to him, and after him, handing out an order list from George, I, then, jus felt like if I have a lot of confidence in myself towards how I’m supposed and expected to act towards every one of the customers of this restaurant. I, then, got myself, busy with getting all the orders from the customers, who were, already, seated, or jus happening to sit down in my section of the place. And my section, which I was supposed to cover, and to be handed out to me on each order list throughout my whole shift, was, already, in plain lettering on my order pad. And it was so obvious to me, jus by the looks on each of the customers’ faces, of how hungry all of them were, as I took care of all of the customers, seated or to waiting to be seated in my section of the place.

And what made me, feel really good inside, was that I, originally, have taken a lot of trouble with my makeup, before even considering walking inside this restaurant, to make sure all of it, was put on my face, jus right. So, that whatever shades of makeup had been used by me, seemed took appear jus perfect to every one of my customers, along with all the people, I will be working either for or with through the course of my shift.

Especially, when dusk seemed to come through with a big thud, a couple of hours later, because the air outside seemed to be cooling off, real fast, the guests, really, started flying in over at the main building.

So, then, Rob was really, having a good time in greeting all the guests, although, it, always, has to be done in a formal manner, as Mr. Kellerman has been expecting him to do.

It’s been very certain, that with all of these pretty-looking gals, piling into the restaurant with their dates or brothers or jus girlfriends or even by themselves, jus in being able to meet every one of these gals, especially, the prettiest of them all, has been, really, keeping Rob in a perky mood. And during all this time throughout the night, especially, during that time, in which the night of a full moon seemed took brighten up the night quite a bit.

As soon jus as it started to seem to become real dark all of a sudden, to Rob, it, really, seemed surprising to him, especially, because the majority of the guests, the couples, that night, really, seemed to want to get into their dirty dancing.

And this kind of dancing seemed to; really, earn its name way back even when the resort, first, was opened to even the younger crowd throughout the whole season. This happened to become true jus because George Kellerman, always, seemed to absorb the idea into mind, that all of the guests, who would dare use the main building for their dirty dancing, which turned out to be real intimate dancing, probably, learned to dance like this way back when they were teenagers.

For one thing, George, always, assumed and, still, does assume to be true. That every one of his guests’ so-called dirty dancing, probably, originated back in their basements. And that this jus happened to become true to all of the guests back when they all were jus teenagers. This, certainly, held true blue, jus because all of his guests, probably, figured, when their parents were away at night with the neighbors or even some of their friends or relatives. That their teenager offspring could get away with their intimate dancing.

This held so true through the years, and still, all of this intimate dirty dancing, still, has been around, especially, whenever all of these teenagers had a chance to hold these parties. And at every one of these special parties, they jus assumed that anything intimate goes, including their younger and famous games, which, of course, included spin the bottle and strip poker.

However, George assumed that the game, strip poker, has become very famous over at the resort in the guests’ cabins at night, especially, apparent during any night, on which there jus happens to be a full moon in the skies along with balmy air of the summer nights.

Being that it was, completely, dark outside, now, the majority of the guests were inside the main building, doing their thing, that dirty dancing, and, ultimately, having the time of their lives, like they all, usually, get into while inside the main building.

And while Rob was, really, getting interested in watching all of these couples, doing their dirty dancing, he, quickly, became, really, surprised at Mr. Kellerman, the owner of the resort, how he managed to put up with watching all these guests do their thing.

And the thing is, that George, partly, happened to get used to all of these couples, doing their own kind of dancing, especially, during the times of day when the male main dancer, usually, is spending a lot of time in giving dancing lessons to any of the guests, who jus might want to take them, especially, on a regular basis all the while, they are gone at the resort for the whole season.

Another thing is that any guest over at the resort, who makes an effort to get these dancing lessons, and can learn all of the moves, can, also, make a possible move to becoming popular as a dancer.

So, that whenever the main dancers feel, they ever need a couple of hours break during the day or night, any of the guests, known as popular dancers, then, can, possibly, get a job as a fill-in. And the main dancers, always, seem to need one or two of these guests when engaged in teaching dance lessons to any of them during the day at any time before dusk, happen to start rolling in...

And this jus became a very in thing for us two, this dirty dancing, jus because Rob, apparently, already, knew jus how to get into this dirty dancing with me, whenever I have the chance to do so. And the two of us seemed to learn all this dirty dancing during the times, back when the two of us used to be the main dancers in the main building.

At first, it seemed that in greeting all of the guests at the door, was all he would be doing that night, then, Mr. Kellerman showed up, finally, and then, said to him, “Well, my boy, you’ve been doing such a good job, tonight, that I’ve got someone, my nephew, Mike, here, to relieve you on the job.”

“What are you going to have me, doing, now, Mr. Kellerman? Do you need me as a dancing partner, already, tonight?”

“You jus have put these words right into my mouth, my boy. In fact, being the restaurant is closed over at the resort, and finally, you are going to be able to spend some time with Cherry.”

“What brought this on, to enable me to have some time with Cherry? Is this jus happening jus because you jus decided on having us on some job, in which, the two of us can do together, outside of me, having the greeting job, and her, having a waitress job?”

“I’ve jus hired you both as dancing partners, being the original dancers have jus left the main building. And Cherry is going to be walking inside this building, any time, jus because her shift is over for the day and night.”

“Now, exactly, how is Cherry, going to be able to have the right clothes to wear, tonight, for dancing? Apparently, she didn’t bring any dancing clothes with her, this morning.”

”Don’t worry about her, not having any clothes to wear, and you neither, because you’ll be wearing the same outfit to dance in, tonight. And Cherry has use of the original dancer’s clothes, the female, because she was so much in a hurry to leave her job. That she has left all her dance clothes behind, and it jus so happens that Cherry takes the same size clothes, and shoes, also.”

Not long after the last confrontation with Mr. Kellerman, he has handed over to me, some sexy-looking dress and high-heeled shoes to wear jus as I arrived inside the main building, not much time later, after I changed from my waitress outfit. Although, I, already, knew about me and Rob, being dance partners as the main dancers of the joint, tonight, I jus happened to notice a starry look in his eyes.

As he was marveling at the very pretty pink dress and matching high heels, I’m wearing that night, to, it me it jus seemed, as though, I jus came out of a daze. And jus after I did, I jus seemed to be acting like I was much more aware of what was going on around me, as my hands jus seemed to, naturally, hook into his hands.

Being that, at this time, there could be no way, us to could have forgotten any of the dances, we used to do as dance partners, the time, when the same us two used to have the same job, back then, we jus seemed to break right into the dancing. And right now, us two were concentrating on leading all the guests, which were inside the main building at this time. And neither Rob nor I were having any trouble, keeping up with the lovely music, which got us, right into the beat of doing the mamba.

For about minutes, which time seemed like a lot more than jus a mere few minutes, Rob and I happened to get another cue from Mr. Kellerman to break off the dancing with each other for the time being?

Then, his cue let us; know that it was the time to jus joining in with all of the guests. So, then, both Rob and I jus picked anyone, whom we felt like dancing with. And then, to me, it seemed so ridiculous, as he ended up, dancing with some old and short old lady, while I jus happened to end up with some woman, whom used to be a dance partner for the resort at one time, jus after that time, when Rob and I, first, landed our jobs as the main dancers.

Then, after a few dances with our free-wheeling dance partners, both Rob and I were given the cue by Mr. Kellerman. That it, finally, was time for all of the guests, who were dancing away all night long in the main building, to split up for the night. However, then, after all of the guests left for the night, Mr. Kellerman happened to come walking over to Rob and I, with this pleasant look on his face. And by this face, both Rob and I were aware that Mr. Kellerman has been satisfied with our dancing, all night long.

So, then, as Mr. Kellerman approached us, as all of the guests have, already, gone their way to, hopefully, be able to get some dance lessons in, that night, none of the guests ended up that lucky, tonight. This was because Mr. Kellerman has been able to sense that night in both Rob and I, that night wasn’t a good night, on which for Rob to schedule any dance lessons, yet. Although, whenever Rob has a chance to give one of the guests, any dance lessons, he, always, has, in the past, gotten good money from Mr. Kellerman, for doing so.

Since, neither Rob or I have anything definite planned for the night, as we said goodnight to him, and chimed out, “See you, tomorrow, at the usual time,” then, Rob jus happened to have this surprised look on his face. So, then, he said to me in a curious voice, “What are you planning to do for the rest of the night, my dear? Are you jus going to go over to your cabin, without commenting about our evening, together?”

Jus as the two arrived right outside the main building, and jus happened to be holding hands without realizing what they were doing, she, then, said to him, “What do you, happen to have on our mind, besides what you have jus said to me? Are you planning anything between us, tonight, how about something, that would really, make the night, a different one?”

“You must have some ESP in you, my dear, because I jus was thinking about inviting you over to my cabin, tonight, like for some dancing lessons.”

“Are you serious about this, or is it jus that you’re jus trying took read my mind?”

No, I’m, really, serious about the whole thing, my dear. By the way,” as the two were jus starting to head over to his cabin, without realizing where they were heading at the time, he, then, in a curious voice, said to her, “How do you, feel about joining me over at my cabin, tonight? In spending some more time with me, this time, alone, isn’t going to offend you in any way, will it? I mean, in any way, do you feel, right now, that in spending some time over with me at my cabin; is in doing so, going to get in the way of your personal feelings for Martin in any way, now?”

“In fact, I was jus thinking, that in spending some time, alone, with you, tonight, is going to help me, stop from sinking into concentrating about Martin, especially, all which has gone on between him and me, ever since, the time, in which, we both got stuck, taking him into our care. Also, it will stop me from dwelling on all that has happened between us, ever since; we started growing apart jus because of him. So, what I’m getting at is that in being alone with you, tonight, is going to be good therapy for me both mentally and physically and in a spiritual sense, too.”

So, then, us two couldn’t think of even one more word to say between each other at this time, as we both were feeling very tired from all that dancing, we have done during the whole night. And what we both, really, need at this time, is to get away, somewhere, all by ourselves, where we can concentrate on what both of us, are, really, feeling between each other, if anything worthwhile at this time.

I don’t know what it was; however, our hands jus seemed to pull away from each other. However, neither of us was about to let this issue, keeping us apart, tonight, in any way.

The two of us jus took our time, walking down the concrete steps which led over to his cabin. And once, we were, over there at his cabin, only, a few minutes later, which seemed a lot longer than that, since, we both were feeling kind of weary, that night, I jus followed him inside his cabin. Although, while I did so, I felt, as though, something has been trying to pull me away from him. And I jus figured that, maybe, Martin’s ghost has been following us over to Rob’s cabin. And I wasn’t about to allow this feeling to take over the night, either.

However, once, Rob and I were inside his cabin, Martin’s ghost jus seemed to fade away from me.

Then, fearing that Martin’s ghost might appear from nowhere, again, and haunt him, Rob, then, said to me, “My dear, let’s jus allow ourselves to sink onto the floor, like that time, in which we used to con each other to get closer to each other.”

So, then, us two jus allowed ourselves to, literally, fall onto the floor of his cabin. However, once the two us were on the floor, then, it struck Rob, funny, for the fact, he forgot to put on his record player like he, usually, does, like he used to do, all during the last time, we were the main dancers of the resort. And then, we would spend every single night, back then, with him, trying to teach me all of the dances, he knew, jus in case, a special entertainment night happened to come up..

As Rob jus lay, there, while staring at me into my eyes, he felt quite funny, so, he said to me in an awkward voice, “I can’t believe what I’ve jus forgotten to do. It jus isn’t like me, to forget to put on my record player, when the two of us are about to try and play some kind of game with each other.”

So, Rob, slowly, got back up onto his feet, as he noticed I happened to be falling asleep on the floor with my head on my hands. Even so, he walked over to his record player, and put on one of our favorite songs, which he, usually, loves to sing to me, whenever I used to be over at his cabin, which used to be, nightly.

As that song of his, “Broken Wings,” was playing on his record player, he, slowly, walked back to me within a few feet of me. And as he was lying down on the floor, again, he jus happened to notice, that I have this inquisitive look in my eyes, as I am coming out of my daze. And at this time, he has no idea, that I have Martin on my mind, and am ready to go into tears, which I seem to be hiding, because I don’t have any sad look on my face, whatsoever.

As “Broken Wings” finished playing, another song, which he has made up, himself, at one time about flying away with the wind, he, actually, started singing the song to me, as I listened to that song, very intently. And as I was, I said to him, “What if I don’t crawl over to you and you keep saying “C’mon baby,” what are you going to do next?”

So, then, he kept saying those words, “C’mon baby.” However, I wouldn’t crawl over to him, jus because I jus sank back into a daze. So, he decided to be the one to take action, and he jus walked like a dog over to me. And as he reached me, then, I, finally, started responding to him, and then, upon the two of us, getting up onto our feet, neither of us was aware, we were getting into some real dirty dancing.

As we were doing so, he started putting his lips over mine, and I wasn’t even trying to resist him, although, at this time, I jus couldn’t stop thinking about how much I miss Martin in my life. Although, as Rob kept kissing me on the lips, this caused me to forget I ever knew anybody by the name of Martin, in the first place. It, really, was doing the job, in making me; at least, forget about Martin, for the time being.

Then, in noticing, that I wasn’t even trying to back away from him, we kept doing our dirty dancing, coming real close to each other, until we were near his bed. And as we approached the bed, he, then, literally, pushed me onto the bed, which caused me to let out a loud sigh for a moment or two. However, then, the sighing seemed to stop, at least, for now, and again, as the two of us were, now, lying beside each other on his bed, he took me by the hand.

So, he said to me in a lovely voice, “My dear, tell me, right now, how much you love me, or if you even love me at all. Because I’m curious as how we stand with our relationship at this time. I am very aware that we were pulling apart from each other for awhile when Martin was alive. However, I feel that since he’s gone from our lives, that I am feeling, as though, I could be falling in love with you, again. And these feelings of affection, which I am having for you, right now, well, to me, it’s like these feelings are becoming more and more embedded into my heart.”

“I can, truly, say, Rob, that, right now, although, Martin has jus left my life. That I, really, am having these feeling of affection inside me, again. And that every one of these feelings is very true to my heart at this time.”

So, then, both Rob and I seemed to get into the usual touching, like we used to do before Martin happened to end up back into my life. And at this time, I was feeling like Martin’s ghost didn’t have any room in my heart, anymore, because Rob was taking over my heart in many ways. And while Rob and I were touching each other, he, finally, realized what time it was, and it was starting to get late.

So, we had to stop what we were doing, and then, I had to get over to my cabin to get my sleep for the night, because both Rob and I knew that ate next day and part of the night, at least, was going to be a trying one for both of us. And I jus hoped that we both we, really, going to like our jobs over at the resort.

BACK INTO MY LIFE BY CHERYL V.

BACK INTO MY LIFE

25CHAPTER I

One night, Martin, an old boyfriend of mine found, he wasn’t able to live with one of his twins, having died from a freak accident during some surgery for an enlarged heart, any longer. Being he has gone through too much in his life, already, like having come back from the dead, a couple of times. And, that same night, I happened to walk into the bedroom when Rob, a guy, who used to be my boyfriend, whom I had met a resort in North Carolina on the Blue Ridge Mountains, happened to away, working over at the Kellerman resort, there, on his seasonal job.

That night, upon me, walking into the bedroom at a cabin in the heart of North Carolina, which million dollar cabin used to belong to Rob, which cabin Martin and I succeeded going through court to get ownership of it, Martin was jus lying, there, on the bed. And I could sense, very well, through some ESP in me, and could, clearly, see that there wasn’t any life left in him.

Also, his clothes, which he happened to be wearing at the time, some army fatigues, were all bloody, so, it was apparent, that he killed himself with a kitchen knife. And that kitchen knife was setting right by his side on the blue and white quilt, which knife, also, happened to be full of blood.

I seemed, completely, lost at what else to do, and I thought, that I should give Rob, a call, about this situation. So, it came right to mind, that I should go ahead, and try to find his number for his cabin over at the Kellerman Resort, because I felt, he, really, needed to be told about was has jus occurred in the bedroom.

Although, no part of the cabin, itself, any longer, even belonged him in any way, jus because he has been living at the resort, more than he has been living at the cabin.

So, then, I jus happened to have the urge to fumble through his dresser drawer. And upon going through his top dresser drawer, I jus happened to stumble across his phone book. This was being that this was the only place, I figured, that Rob would have been keeping all of his personal belongings. Those belongings which jus happened to have been left by him over at the cabin, being he had forgotten to take the rest of his personal belongings with him at the time, he had to move out of the cabin.

Upon going through his phone book, then, I jus happened to be lucky to come across the number of his cabin over at the resort. And then, upon grabbing one of his pens from the drawer, I, then, scribbled his number on a piece of paper from a memo pad, which papers were all sorts of different colors like blue, yellow, red, and green.

At this time, I was feeling very much at ill ease with myself. And I figured it was jus because I happened to find Martin, lying dead on mine and his bed. And at first, I happened to be about to refrain from calling Rob, jus because I felt that he, really, had no business, finding out Martin. However, I, still, felt this need and urge to call him, anyways, being that I didn’t want anything bad to happen to me, jus because Martin has decided to take his life on me. And, really, it wasn’t my fault to begin with, that he has committed suicide. Also, he has left me, all alone, here, at the cabin with the other twin, Andy.

And right now, it’s, really, bothering me, that Martin even had the guts, in the first place, to leave Andy without his real father. And at this time, this, really, was making me, wonder, how on earth, I was going to bring him, jus in knowing, I or Rob was going to have to tell him when he was old enough to understand. That his twin, Noah, no longer, was around to play with him. And that his real father, no longer, was living, either, like Martin, really, never considered how his death to suicide, was going to affect Andy, later on in life when he happened to find out about it, which he would, sooner or later.

Then, in using much desperation in my voice, I jus happened to be able to get a hold of Mr. Kellerman over the phone, which was setting on the oak stand, which had been painted white.

So, upon getting him on the phone, I said to him, “Hello, Mr. Kellerman, I have an emergency, here, over at the cabin. And it jus so happens, that I jus found my old boyfriend, Martin, who has been living with me, yet, because he has no other place to go to live, in a pretty bad state. It jus so happens, that right now, he is as good as dead. It’s jus that he doesn’t seem to have any life left in him, at all.”

“Well, do you know in any way, what happened to cause him to become in this state? Was he on any street drugs, or any drug, which he had been taking for awhile, which you think, has been responsible for him, getting into this state?”

“I, really, think you’re right in a way, that at one time, actually, a couple of times, some doctor have been responsible for putting some fullerenes into his system. And that these drugs could have had a bad reaction on his body. However, the thing is, that, apparently, Martin, jus so happens to be lying on the bed by himself. And his clothes, which he’s wearing at this time, appear to be very bloody. Also, I jus found a kitchen knife at his side, full of blood. So, now, if possible, I need Rob, back home at the cabin, right away without fail. Since, I’ve jus found Martin in this lifeless and frightening condition, I am lost as to what to do with him. So, can you please, get Rob on the phone, right now?”

“Jus a minute, here, it jus so happens that Rob is over here in the main building, dancing with his dancing partner, trying his best to keep all of the guests, happy. And I’m sure, you know, that this has been his sole job over at the resort for a few years, now, ever since, the resort, first, opened to all the friendly Southern folks, here, in North Carolina. Although, we have had many guests from states other then North Carolina. However, since, you need him, back home, right now, without fail, I’ve jus given him, the cue, to stop dancing. So, I think that Rob can sense, that something, really, is wrong like over at the cabin.”

“Well, the thing is, Mr. Kellerman, I didn’t mean to stop him in the middle of his dancing, but this thing with Martin, has turned into an extreme emergency. So, please put Rob on the phone, as soon as you can, as I’m sure, that you have given him, the cue, to come right over to where you’re at. And that he’s very much aware, that I could be on the phone for him at this time.”

So, then, as Rob happened to be walking up to Mr. Kellerman. I’m sure, he’s aware that Rob must have a desperate look on his face at this time. And that he can sense, it, only, could be me on the phone, because who else would even be giving him, a call, at this time? I know for certain, that he has lost all contact with is immediate family. So, I’m sure, he knows that only I could, possibly, be on the phone.

Although, I, usually, never made it, a habit, of calling over at the resort, unless it were an extreme emergency. Because I know darn well, that if I did happen to make it, a habit, of calling him over at the resort, frequently. That this could even cause Rob, to lose his job as a dancing partner over at the resort, especially, because I know, for sure. That Mr., Kellerman never has allowed him to have any personal calls over there, unless it were, really, important, like this call, certainly, has become, being Rob, really, always, is considered a busy body over there at the resort.

So, with using my ESP, I could sense, myself, that, at this time, Rob can sense that something has gone, terribly, wrong over at the cabin, where Martin and I and the twin, Andy, have been living for the past months.


My old boyfriend, Martin, now, apparently, has turned back into the form of a ghost after having been a human being, again, ever since, he last came back from his grave after having been, partly, alive for some time underground, which hasn’t been pleasant, at all, for him.

BACKFLASH

Unfortunately, the main reason, he had ended up in his grave, in the first place, has been because some doctor, who had disliked him from the beginning, had pulled something very terrible on him. This same doctor, actually, had been responsible for having placed some fullerenes, some drugs, into his IV, when he had been under his care in the North Carolina County Hospital, at least, twice.

Apparently, Martin had succeeded in having lived underground in his grave for a year or so, as the fullerenes had kept him, alive, only, to the extent. That to the doctor, and every one else, he had appeared to be stone dead while in the hospital. And he had, also, been that way, upon this doctor, having seen to it. That he had been taken over to the mortuary, and then, to the cemetery to be buried.

And if anyone ever had performed an autopsy on him, that person or persons would have found out, that these fullerenes are what had caused a near death experience for him.

He jus happened to end up, having to live underground in his grave for about a year or so, which had been so torturing to him. And this, alone, could have contributed to him, wanting to take his life, jus because this part of hi life had been so terrible for him to have to go through. So, then, it could have been that jus in not being able to erase this horrible part of his life from his memory, could have lead him to not wanting to live, any longer.

Then, the fullerenes had been, solely, responsible for him, to having ended up underground in his grave, jus barely, being alive, at a lower than normal body temperature.

The thing had been that the doctor, who had taken care of him in the North Carolina County Hospital, really, had wanted to kill him with the fullerenes. However, this attempt to kill Martin, had failed in the past, and had jus caused him, to, barely, be alive and in a state of shock, when the doctor had thought, that he, really, had murdered him, for good. And the doctor, also, badly, had wanted him to, at least, be dead, having been buried underground in his grave.




























CHAPTER II


So, then, Mr. Kellerman said to Rob in a curious voice, “Cherry is on the phone at this time, and she jus happens to be very desperate to talk to you. So, please take the phone from my hand, and talk to her. I know that is very unusual for her, to be calling you, jus because I have been able to sense for some time. That the two of you have been starting to grow apart. This is because I know, that neither of you have been calling each other, ever since, you started working over here at the resort, since, the beginning of the season.”

With a shaky voice, Rob said to me, “What is the problem over there at the cabin? Has something happened that I should know about? Or did you jus happen to get the urge to give me, a call, jus because you, finally, have been missing me?”

Then, I, still, in a desperate voice, said back to Rob, “Yes, Rob, something, definitely, has gone wrong over here at the cabin. You need to quit whatever you are doing, and get over here at the cabin on the double.”

“C’mon, Cherry, tell me, what has happened? Jus in your voice, I can tell, that you are ready to cry, or are, already, in tears. It’s not Martin, is it, my dear?”

“Yes, it is all about Martin; I jus happened to walk into the bedroom about a half hour ago. And what do I find, is him, lying, here, on the bed, very lifeless. I have felt his neck, and his neck is stone cold, besides his skin, being very pale at this time. I didn’t even have a chance to get him over to the hospital, as it is too late to do so.”

“C’mon, try to calm down, my dear Cherry. Tell me what you can about Martin. Can you tell me, what has happened to him at this time?”

“Yes, however, I don’t know how to tell you without getting you upset. So, I hope, you’re prepared to start feeling a little edgy about this situation. The thing is that I jus found Martin, lying, here, on the bed. And upon finding him, here, he’s been such a gory sight. However, I have no idea how long, he’s been this way, because I happened to be before this, in the living room, playing some video games.”

Then, in a curious and somewhat angry voice, he said to her, “Well, how come, you were in the living room, playing video games. You should have been looking after him, better. And if you were, maybe, he never would have gotten the chance or even the urge, to kill himself.”

“Well, the thing is that I hadn’t been in the living room, all that long. And I had jus checked in on him, about a half hour before finding him, this way. So, I, probably, would have never been able to catch him before he did this to himself. And another thing is that he seemed to be feeling very down, lately. However, I haven’t been able to figure out why he has been feeling this way.”

“What’s been the matter with him, then? Haven’t you been able to get him to talk about his feelings? Has he been this way for some time, or has it jus been, lately?”

“It seems like its jus been, lately, that he’s been feeling so blue about life. Well, the thing is, that upon walking inside the bedroom, his clothes have appeared to be all bloody, and there’s a kitchen knife, lying on the bed right next to him, which I haven’t tried to touch. I think that he has jus tried to kill himself, because I have been in the living room.”

“So, you think that he may have been feeling lonely about something. And he jus didn’t want to talk about to you or anyone else, for that matter.”

“Yes, I think that has been the situation, lately. And I would have heard somebody, come into the cabin, if someone else tried to kill him with the knife. So, please come back home, right away. And in the meanwhile, I don’t want to call the police on the scene, because they might get the wrong idea of what happened to Martin. What I’m saying is that they might think that either you or I could be a suspect in his killing, although, we both know, that he has jus committed suicide.”

“Okay, I’ll let Mr. Kellerman know, what the situation is with Martin, right now. And then, I’ll tell him, that I have to leave, right away, and get back home to the cabin.”

“Please don’t waste any time, getting back to the cabin, jus in case, someone else jus happens to walk inside the cabin. However, I don’t think that anyone else will be doing this, because all the doors and windows of the cabin, have been, securely, locked.”

So, then, without another word between the two of them, Rob, quickly, left the main building after telling Mr. Kellerman, that he had to get back to the cabin because of a family emergency.

Mr. Kellerman jus really, didn’t want him to leave at this time, but Rob didn’t have any choice, because a death jus happened in the family. And he had to be there at the cabin, jus in case, someone stopped over at the cabin, and then, the police, jus happened to get involved in Martin’s case.

So, Rob, actually, after grabbing his leather jacket, ran all the way to his Chevy. And then, he took off for the cabin at such speed, that he was afraid, that a policeman was going to catch him, speeding on the road on the way. And jus as Rob reached the main road, which happened to come along, was a police car. And the police had been, patiently, waiting by a hill to catch someone, going down the hill at a high speed.

Upon spotting the police in back of him, Rob didn’t waste any time in dealing with the police. So, then, he pulled his car over to the side, and then, he jus waited to see what the policeman wanted of him, which policeman jus has gotten out of the police car, as he has jus pulled over right in back of Rob.

So, upon the policeman walking over to Rob’s car, Rob didn’t waste any time in pulling down his window on the driver’s side. Then, the policeman seemed to have a weird attitude towards him at the time. He seemed to have a mean disposition towards Rob at this time.

So, then, he said to Rob in an authoritive and angry voice, “Are you aware, you have been going over the speed limit? The speed limit, here, in Asheville, is 70 and you have been going, at least, 80 miles an hour.”

“What, really, have you stopped me for? C’mon, now, let’s get down to business. Are you going to give me, a ticket, for speeding, or are you jus going to let me off with a warning?”

Then, the cop said to him, while leaning half inside the window, “You haven’t been drinking, now, today, have you, because your breath smells. C’mon, get out of the car, and I am going to put you through a breathalyzer test.”

So, then, without talking to the cop, Rob got out of the Chevy, and jus stood, there, right in front of the cop beside his car. As he was jus standing, there, minding his own business, the cop, then, got out the breathalyzer.

Then, the cop said to him with a little anger in his voice, “Walk over closer to me, so, that I can stick this thing right in your mouth.”

As Rob, with much fear inside him, dared get nearer to the cop, the cop, then, put this weird-looking thing into his mouth. Then, the cop instructed him to take a big breath, which he did.

So, the cop, then, said to him, “So, I see this thing registers above the normal amount. You jus didn’t want to admit that you have been drinking. You are afraid of me, now, aren’t you?”

“Okay, jus stand on that white line near your car, and walk in a straight line. I see, now, here the truth comes out. You are shaking so much, that you can’t even walk in a straight line.”

“I’m telling you, the truth, now; the last thing, I would think of doing is lying to any cop, not even you, because I know what the consequences could amount to. Jus before I was driving, today, I jus happened to use some mouthwash, and swallowed some by mistake. But you aren’t going to believe me, now, are you?”

“No, I don’t, my guy; jus come over here to the cop car, and stand by the side of the car.”

As Rob did so, then, the cop placed handcuffs on Rob, and then, pulled him by the arm into the back seat of the cop car, as his partner peered at him with inquiring eyes, like he didn’t believe, himself, that Rob had been drinking. This was because he didn’t even smell any alcohol on his breath. And his breath, to him, was fresh-smelling.

So, then, the other cop said to his partner, “You can’t jus arrest this guy for drinking. For one thing, the breathalyzer, always, isn’t right. And I don’t even smell any alcohol on his breath. All I smell is some mouthwash. And I doubt if this guy is crazy enough to drink mouthwash. So, undo his handcuffs, and let the poor guy go. And if you have to give him, a ticket for speeding, handle the situation, right now, before you make me, angrier at you. After all, I am your partner, and am jus trying to help you, settle things straight at this time.”

So, the other cop said to his partner, “I know what I am doing; although, I don’t smell any alcohol on this guy’s breath. What do you have in mind, sir? I am jus trying to do my job, and I am about to let the guy, going with a warning, if you won’t say anything else about this situation.”

The other cop, then, jus, quickly, got out of the car, and he was, really, trying to corner his partner right by the cop car, as Rob, curiously, was watching what the two cops were getting into. And to Rob’s surprise, one of the cops punched the other one in the face, and then, even though, he ended up on the pavement, he, then, upon getting himself onto his feet, walked up to Rob. And then, he took the handcuffs off of Rob, and then, put them on the other cop, and while he was forcing his partner back inside the cop car, Rob managed to run away from the cop car.

Then, while the two cops were arguing with each other as to what one of them was doing the right thing according to Rob’s situation, Rob, then, hopped into his car. And then, he started speeding down the highway as fast as he could to get away from the cops, jus because he knew, that one of them wanted to arrest him, jus because he thought, that Rob had been doing some serious drinking, which he hadn’t been doing, in the first place.

However, before Rob was aware of what was going on, the cop car, again, was on top of him. And this time, he knew there was no way; he could get away from the cops. So, then, he jus pulled over to the side of the highway, and jus hoped that the cop’s partner would be the first one to come up to him, jus because Rob knew that the other cop jus has been unreasonable with him. Also, Rob knew all along, that the cop wasn’t jus going to let him away with a warning about having been speeding down the highway, although, he jus has been moving with the traffic, all along.

So, as the cop got out of the driver’s side, and walked up to Rob, Rob refused to roll down his window, right away, jus because he was trying to defend himself. He didn’t trust this one cop, however, he knew if he didn’t roll down the window. That the cop might pull someone stricter than a ticket for speeding, on him.

Then, upon Rob, rolling down the window on the driver’s side, the cop was very angry with him, by now, partly, because his partner had given him, a punch in the face.

The cop said to Rob in a very angry voice, “Okay, now, I am going to make you, take the breathalyzer test, and the walking test, once again, mostly, because the other cop with me, wants to see the results for himself. This is because he thinks he’s the one, who’s right about the situation that you haven’t been doing any drinking, today. So, come on over here, and allow me to put this thing around your mouth, once more.”

So, the cop did so, and upon reading the results of the test, again, came to the conclusion, that the reading was, exactly, the same as before. So, then, he made Rob, walk in a straight line, which, of course, he couldn’t do, because the cop had him, shaking like a leaf by now.

“Well, I see that you are, still, shaking like a leaf, and can’t even walk in a straight line over the white line. But this time, I’ll let you go, because upon me, having gotten punched in the face by my partner, and by you, having witnessed it, I’m sure, it’s caused you to become very uncomfortable and more ill at ease. However, you aren’t going to get away with speeding, like you have been doing. Now, tell me, the truth, my boy; why did you, continue speeding, when I, already, have given you, a warning about the whole thing?”

“The reason, I took off so fast, was that I was so scared of your partner, and afraid that he might punch me, too. That I, quickly, tried to get away, jus so that your partner wouldn’t have any chance to commit any bodily harm on me. And another reason, I’m in such a hurry, is that a good friend of mine, jus committed suicide, this morning, this morning. And I was in a hurry to get over to my cabin, so that all I’ve been having on my mind is my friend, this morning. So, I’m telling you, the truth, that all the time, I’ve been on the highway, this morning, I haven’t even been aware, that I’ve been speeding all this time.”

“So, what you, really, want, my boy is for me, to let you off easy. And jus leave you off with a warning when what I, really, should be doing is giving you, a ticket, for going over the speed limit. Well you seem to be one nice fellow, so, I think I will let you go, this time. However, if I ever catch you, again going over the speed limit without a valid reason, I, really, am going to arrest you for drinking and going over the speed limit.”

“Thank you for your kindness, officer; and I’m surprised that you didn’t even ask me for my driver’s license, and registration. Some one could be driving a stolen car, and be drinking when driving, and you wouldn’t even be aware of any of these things, happening right before your eyes. But believe me, this is no stolen car, because I am offering you, a peek at my driver’s license and registration. So, that you don’t end up getting suspicious about me.”

“Okay, this is good enough; you don’t have to impress me with all of this. Don’t worry about anything, my boy, because I believe you when you say, that you were on your way over to a friend’s house, jus because of a suicide. And I know that in having seen many people, do this very thing before my eyes. That suicide can be very frightening and, really, screw up your mind. So, watch your speed, my boy, from now on, and don’t let me, catch you doing it, again.”

“Thank you, officer, I, really, needs to get going, and get over to my friend’s cabin, because she must be feeling quite frantic by now. And I surely don’t want her to start panicking, because then, she may get the crazy idea, herself, to take her own life.”

So, then, he took off down the highway only five miles offered the speed limit, which the cops didn’t even seem to catch him doing. So, in about twenty minutes, he arrived over at the cabin.

Upon pulling into the driveway, he wasted no time in hopping out of the car. And then, he jus ran through the cabin until he reached the bedroom where I, still, was at, crying over having lost Martin in my life. And by this time, I had moved Martin off the bed and onto the floor, desperately, trying to bring some life into him, again. However I’ve had no luck in bringing a heartbeat back into him.

As Rob ran into the bedroom, he jus went over to me, lying on the floor with Martin. And then, he, carefully, not to get any blood on his clothes or any part of him, helped me onto my feet, again. And then, he stooped over Martin, trying to see if he could get any pulse out of him. However, by now, its tool late to even bring Martin back to life, because by now, he was very pale and he must have been dead for about a half hour or so.

Being the bed was full of blood, yet, and the quilt not even touched by me, both me and Rob laid Martin’s body back on the bed. And from there, Rob was going to call the cops, but I stopped him from doing so. And said to him in a frantic voice, “Rob, what do you think you’re doing? Don’t dare call the cops or a detective on this case, because do, you, really, want any of them, think that either of us killed him?”

“Now, Cherry, let me handle this situation. Allow me to call the cops over here. The cops aren’t going to take us in as suspects, because after fingerprints are taken of anything around this bedroom, like from the knife and the quilt, nothing is going to make them be able to prove, that we are suspects in this case when neither of us were to begin with.”

So, then, although, I was shaking like a leaf, and had trouble calming down, I allowed Rob to call the police, and whoever he talked to, he jus told him, that he were and Cherry jus happened to find Martin, dead on the quilt. And never had any intention to kill him, either. However, by what Rob told the cop, he figured that someone else could have sneaked into the headroom, and could have killed him, jus because someone could have had revenge on him, and could have took it out on him.

And a cope along with a detective were right over at the cabin in no time at all. And upon the two walking into the bedroom, neither of them could believe their eyes. Neither of them could believe that Martin was full of blood, and lying there lifeless on the bed. So, then, they, not only took evidence from around martin on the bed, they, also, took fingerprints from both Rob and me, thinking that, maybe, we could have been suspects in the case. That maybe either Rob or I could have committed murder, and tried to cover it up.

Now, I jus knew, while over to the police station, that Rob shouldn’t have called the cops in the cause. Now, both Rob and I could have a hard time, trying to convince the cops and the detective on the case. That neither Rob nor I were in on the case.

While the cop and detective had taken Martin with them, along with me and Rob, Martin’s body was left at the police station on the floor, somewhere, in a special cubicle, while me and Rob ended up spending the night in cell over at the police station, jus because neither the cops nor the detective would believe, that neither me nor Rob had anything to do with the case.

Upon the detective getting someone on the case, who dealt with forensics, then, through the fingerprints taken off of the knife and other things from the cabin bedroom, the guy was able to prove to the detective, that neither Rob nor I were responsible for Martin’s death.

So, then, the two of us were set free, and now, that the detective was done with Martin’s body, the detective agreed to drive Rob and I back to the cabin. And also, Martin’s body was taken back to the cabin, so, that both Rob and I could have him, cremated, and his ashes, then, were spread all over the cabin garden in remembrance of Martin after both Rob and I had our funeral, together, in remembrance of Martin, too. The funeral was short, but then, a special statue which Rob and I had picked out for the garden, an angel holding a book with special words on it, was set where the aches had been sprinkled into the garden.

ULCERATIVE COLITIS

ULCERATIVE COLITIS
What Is It?
A number of infections and other conditions can cause the rectum to become irritated and inflamed, but few of them cause lasting symptoms. Ulcerative colitis, however, is a lifelong condition that begins with rectal inflammation and can worsen to involve much or all of the large intestine. Ulcerative colitis most often begins to cause symptoms between the ages of 15 and 40.
Research suggests that ulcerative colitis is genetic (inherited). The illness may begin with a breakdown in the lining of the intestine. Normally, the lining of the intestines keeps bacteria that normally live in the colon carefully sealed within the digestive “pipeline.” As long as the bacteria are perfectly contained, it remains invisible to your immune cells and does not provoke a reaction. When the intestine's lining fails, bacteria that usually are harmless can activate your immune system. Ulcerative colitis is an autoimmune disease, meaning that the immune system attacks part of the body. In ulcerative colitis, cells from the immune system collect in the bowel wall and cause inflammation, injuring the bowel. Once the bowel inflammation has started, it can continue, even if the immune systems stops being exposed to the bowel bacteria.
Ulcerative colitis affects the inner lining of the rectum and colon, causing it to wear away in spots (leaving ulcers), to bleed or to ooze cloudy mucus or pus.
Sometimes, other parts of the body are affected by the inflammation, including the eyes, skin, liver, back and joints. One serious concern about ulcerative colitis is that it substantially increases the risk of colon cancer.
The disease is not contagious, even within families, so contact with another person cannot spread the disease.

DEPRESSION TREATMENT

DEPRESSION TREATMENT
This article outlines some general treatment guidelines which you may want to take into consideration when seeking or administering treatment for clinical depression and related mood disorders. This discussion below is not meant as an alternative to seeking treatment for depression from a trained mental health professional.
First, depression as discussed in this article refers only to Major Depressive Disorder (look at the criteria for a Major Depressive Episode here also). This does not include depression as a result of the loss of a loved one, due to medical causes, or Bipolar Disorder (manic-depression). “Medical causes” does not mean, however, that the depression is caused by some sort of “chemical imbalance.”
The theory of a “chemical imbalance” is just that—a theory. Like the half-dozen or so psychological and other medical theories for the cause of depression, it has scientific research support.
Second, the studies discussed do not yet predict individual responses to the specific treatments mentioned. In other words, jus because it works for most people still does not mean it will work for you. It is more likely to work for you, but no scientific study, either in psychology or medicine on this topic, yet are specific to an individual's own situation, environment, genetics, etc. Keep this in mind.
Most clinicians practicing today believe that depression is caused by an equal combination of biological (including genetics), social, and psychological factors. Treatment approaches which focuses exclusively on one of these factors is llikely not as beneficial as a treatment method which addresses all three of them. Depression remains a complicated disorder an research is only beginning to fully grasp the complexity of factors—personal, genetic, biological, societal, and environmental—which are involved. Any explanation or approach which emphasizes only one fact as the cause of depression is misleading and simplistic. Individuals should avoid accepting a simplistic answer to such a devastating and complex disorder.

BACK INTO MY LIFE BY CHERYL V-BEGINNING OF THE STORY

BACK INTO MY LIFE
One night, Martin, my old boyfriend, wasn’t able to live with one of his twins, having died from a freak accident during some surgery for an enlarged heart. And, that same night, I happened to walk into the bedroom when Rob, a guy, who used to be my boyfriend, whom I had met a resort in North Carolina on the Blue Ridge Mountains, was away, working over at the resort on his seasonal job.
That night, upon me, walking into the bedroom at a cabin, which used to belong to Rob, which cabin Martin and I succeeded going through court to get ownership of it, Martin was jus lying, there, on the bed. And I could see, that there wasn’t any life left in him. Also, his clothes were all bloody, so, it was apparent, that he killed himself with a kitchen knife. And that kitchen knife was by his side, also, full of blood.
I didn’t knokw what else to do, and I thought, that I should give Rob, a call, about this situation. So, I jus happened to be able to find his number for over at the resort, upon jus happening to find it in his phone book. And this phone book, I jus got through fumbling through his dresser door for, being that it was the only place, I figured, that Rob would have been keeping some of his personal stuff inside.
So, in a desperate voice, I jus happened to get a hold of Mr. Kellerman over the phone, setting on the oak stand, which had been painted white. So, upon getting him on the phone, I said to him, “Hello, Mr. Kellerman, I have an emergency,here, over at the cabin. And it jus so happens, that I jus found my old boyfriend, Martin, who has been living with me, yet, because he has no other place to go to live. And he doesn’t seem to have any life in him, at all.”
“Well, do you know what happened to cause him to turn this way?”
“Yes, I do, Mr. Kellerman, apparently, Martin, here, jus so happens to be lying on the bed by himself. And his clothes, which he’s wearing at this time, appear to be very bloody. Also, I jus found a kitchen knife at his side, full of blood. So, now, if possible, I need Rob, back home at the cabin, right now. Since, I’ve jus found Martin in this condition, I am lost as to what to do with him. So, can you please, get him on the phone, right now?”
“Jus a minute, here, it jus so happens that Rob is over here in the building, dancing with his dancing partner, trying his best to keep all of the guests, happy. However, since, you need him, back home, right now, without fail, I’ve jus given him, the cue, to stop dancing. And he’s walking over to me right at this time.”
“Well, the thing is, Mr. Kellerman, I didn’t mean to stop him in the middle of his dancing, but this thing with Martin, has turned into an extreme emergency. So, please put Rob on the phone, as soon as he has reached you.”
So, then, Mr. Kellerman jus happened to notice this weird look on Rob’s face, as I, usually, don’t make it a habit of calling over at the resort. This is, especially, because I know, that Rob is, always, a busy body over there. So, Rob could sense, right away, that something was wrong over at the cabin.
My old boyfriend, now, was, now, back in the form of a ghost back from a human, as a result of having been buried underneath the ground in his grave with fullerenes in his body, which some doctor had placed inside his IV, at one time, when he was in the hospital in North Carolina for care. He had happened to live for a year or so, underground, as the fullerenes had kept him alive, only, to the extent, that he appeared to be stone dead upon him, being taken to the mortuary, and then, to the cemetery. And the doctor had, really, wanted to kill him with the drugs. However, the doctor didn’t succeed in killing him, and jus wanted him, badly, to be dead before being buried underground.
So, then, Mr. Kellerman said to Rob in a desperate voice, “Cherry is on the phone at this time, and she jus happens to be very desperate to talk to you. So, please take the phone from my hand, and talk to her. I know, that is very unusual for her, to be calling you, jus because I have been able to sense for some time. That the two have been starting to grow apart. This is because I know, that neither of you, have been calling each other, ever since, you started working over here at the resort, since, the beginning of the season.”
With a shaky voice, Rob said to me, “What is the problem over there at the cabin? Has something happened, that I should know about? Or did you jus happen to get the urge to give me, a call, jus because you, finally, have been missing me?”
Then, I, still, in a desperate voice, said back to Rob, “Yes, Rob, something, definitely, has gone wrong over here at the cabin. You need to quit whatever you are doing, and get over here at the cabin on the double.”
“C’mon, Cherry, tell me, what has happened? Jus in your voice, I can tell, that you are ready to cry, or are, already, in tears. It’s not Martin, is it, my dear?”
“Yes, it is all about Martin; I jus happened to walk into the bedroom about a half hour ago. And what do I find, is him, lying, here, on the bed, very lifeless. I have felt his neck, and his neck is stone cold, besides his skin, being very pale at this time. I didn’t even have a chance to get him over to the hospital, as it is too late to do so.”
“C’mon, try to calm down, my dear Cherry. Tell me what you can about Martin. Can you tell me, what has happened to him at this time?”
“Yes, however, I don’t know how to tell you without getting you upset. So, I hope, you’re prepared to start feeling a little edgy about this situation. The thing is that I jus found Martin, lying, here, on the bed. And upon finding him, here, he’s a gory sight at this time. His clotehs are all bloody, and there’s a kitchen knife, lying on the bed right next to him, which I haven’t tried to touch. I think that he has jus tried to kill himself, because I have been in the living room. And I would have heard somebody, come into the cabin, if someone else treid to kill him with the knife. So, please come back home, right away. And in the meanwhile, I don’t want to call the police on the scene, becdaue they might get the wrong idea of what happened to Martin. What I’m saying, is that they might think that either you or I could be a suspect in his killing, although, we both know, that he has jus committed suicide.”
“Okay, I’ll let Mr. Kellerman know, what the situation is with Martin, right now. And then, I’ll tell him, that I have to leave, right away, and get back home to the cabin.”
“Please don’t waste any time, getting back tok the cabin, jus in case, someone else jus happens to walkinisde the cabin. However, I don’t think that anyone else will be doing this, because all the doors and windows of the cabin, have been, securely, locked.”
So, then, without another word between the two of them, Rob, quickly, left the main building after telling Mr. Kellerman, that he had to get back to the cabin because of a family emergency.
Mr. Kellerman jus really, didn’t want him to leave at this time, but Rob didn’t have any choice, because a death jus happened in the family. And he had to be there at the cabin, jus in case, someone stopped over at the cabin, and then, the police, jus happened to get involvefd in Martin’s case.
So, Rob, actually, after grabbing his leather jacket, ran all the way to his Chevy. And then, he took off for the cabin at such speed, that he was afraid, that a policeman was going to catch him, speeding on the road on the way. And jus as Rob reached the main road, who happened to come along was a police car. And the police ahd been, patiently, waiting by a hill to catch someone, going down the hill at a high speed.
Upon spotting the police in back of him, Rob didn’t waste any time in dealing with the police. So, then, he pulled his car over to the side, and then, he jus waited tok see what the policeman, who jus has gotten out ot the police car, as he has jus pulled over right in back of Rob.
So, upon the policeman walking over to Rob’s car, Rob didn’t waste any time in pulling down his window on the driver’s side.

PSYCHOSOCIAL ASPECTS OF FUNCTIONAL GI DISORDERS

PSYCHOSOCIAL ASPECTS OF FUNCTIONAL GI DISORDERS
Scientists are finding increasing evidence that emotional and psychosocial factors play a role in functional gastrointestinal disorders. In an important paper published in the journal Gut in 1999, Dr. Douglas Drossman, of the Division of Digestive Diseases at the University of North Carolina, concluded that there is clear support for psychotherapeutic treatments, especially on a long-term basis. He also noted that antidepressants are useful for treating these conditions, including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Psychosocial factors, Dr. Drossman said, influence the actual physiology of the gut, as well as the modulation of symptoms, the course of the illness, the outcome, and the choice of therapy. Psychology combines physical factors to cause pain and other bowel symptoms. Dr. Drossman reported that for patients in gastrointestinal clinics, severe life stress often precedes the onset of functional bowel disorders.
These observations suggest that at least some patients with functional GI conditions might find relief with therapy to relieve stress. And sure enough, in 2003, Dr. Drossman reported that 70% of IBS patients in his study reported less pain, bloating, and diarrhea after 12 weeks of cognitive behavioral therapy—a kind of talk therapy that encourages an optimistic frame of mind.

LOVE COMES BACK TO ME BY CHERYL V.

LOVE COMES BACK TO ME

CHAPTER I

One morning, Rob and I have jus awakened, and we figured we had to check up on Martin, because, after all, we both have been worried about his well being. Because, after all, Rob and I have to do something about that lawsuit, which we and Martin have been thinking about putting against Martin’s doctor. And that morning, upon awakening Martin from the day bed, Rob brought him into the dining room, where breakfast of eggs and toast and bacon were waiting for him.
Then, we all had some breakfast, which had to be a quick one, during which breakfast none of us, even said a word to each other.

It jus happened that we all were in a hurry to eat. This was jus because Martin has an appointment, that morning, with Rob’s lawyer. The appointment was supposed to be for a start in, hopefully, launching that lawsuit, which happened to pending against a doctor, who took care of Martin, a couple of times while he had been in the hospital.

And this doctor, without our knowledge, had removed Martin’s liver for no valid reason during his last stay at the hospital.

So, then, we have to go with him to see Rob’s lawyer about this case. And while there at his office, Martin’s going to have to answer some questions, which the lawyer has for him concerning the last time, he was in the hospital for care.

BACKFLASH:

Martin had happened to have liver surgery, not long ago without his consent, the last time he had happened to end up in a hospital in North Carolina. And some doctor, had happened to have taken care of him during that time, after Martin had jus transformed from a ghost into a human state.

This same doctor had been able to sense this about Martin. So, this doctor had put him through unnecessary surgery to remove his liver when he jus had needed his stomach, pumped out.

He had been found to have fullerenes in his body at the time, he was brought to the hospital to be hydrated with fluids, and while he jus had come back from the dead, supposedly.

However, he had told Rob and I, that he had been alive in his grave for some time, and that it had been the fullerenes, which had made him, seem dead before he had been buried in the cemetery.

And the very doctor, who had placed these fullerenes in Martin’s body, also, had been proved to be the one, who had, also, put him through unnecessary surgery to remove his liver, which, still, had been good at that time.

So, then, Rob and I had been forced to have to stay with Martin, after Rob had called his lawyer. And his lawyer had forced an order against this doctor, to give Martin, a liver transplant. So, that he could live a full life, again, after having come back from the dead.

So, then, Rob and I saw to it, that he had some surgeons, give Martin, his liver transplant. Also, the doctor had been forced to put Martin on this new machine, which the hospital jus had happened to get in jus in time to use on Martin. And this machine kept him, alive, until his liver transplant had gone through. And the medicine, which he had been given right after the transplant, did a lot to help keep Martin, alive, and contribute to him, being able to live a full life, again.

During Martin’s appointment with Rob’s lawyer concerning the liver and fullerene case against Martin’s doctor, Mr. Constance Deveroux didn’t make us, wait long to be seen.

When he happened to walk into the room where the three of us, were sitting, awaiting his presence, he looked very official-looking with his Navy outfit on. He jus happened to be wearing this outfit, since, he not long ago, came back from the Navy. And the thing was that he wanted to continue wearing his outfit, jus because it made him, look very professional.

So, then, Constance, also, a good friend of Rob’s from high school, jus happened to reach out his hand to us.

Now, that we all were settled on a plush black leather couch, Constance, first, said to Martin, “Why do you think, you have a malpractice against this doctor, who had treated you while you were in the hospital?”

“For one thing, I know, you’ll find this hard to believe. However, the doctor had been working against me, not for me. He was supposed to treat me with fluids because I had jus spent a year or two, buried in a cemetery, jus because the same doctor, found out through me, taking a look at his test results. That he had gone ahead, and had put some drugs, some fullerenes through my IV. And as a result, these drugs hade, originally, drugged me to the point, that to the other doctors and nurses, my body acted like it was dead. The fact is that I, never, had been dead to begin with.”

“What happened after you came back to full life, and then, you were taken to the hospital for care?”

“Then, these fullerenes, still, had been inside my body, not long ago, when I had been taken to the hospital for full care. And at that time, I jus had transformed from a ghost back to being human. Having been a ghost while in the cemetery had protected me from dying while there. And while in the hospital, through some blood tests, one or more of them revealed that I, still, had these fullerenes inside my body. Then, upon my blood tests being revealed to the nurses, too, the doctor jus went ahead, and gave an order to some surgeons to remove my liver, when there wasn’t anything wrong with my liver to begin with.”

“What makes you; think you have enough evidence to convict this doctor of a malpractice case?”

“Well, I, myself, have copies of these blood tests, and that alone proves that fullerenes, still, have been found in my body. And another thing was that through some liver tests, which I, also, have copies of, nothing was found abnormal about my liver. And the doctor hadn’t given any of the nurses, an order, to pump the drugs out of my stomach. So, in the doctor, sensing that I, once, was a ghost, he, then, went ahead, and had some of the surgeons remove my liver. And I, almost, died from my original liver being removed. So, this, alone, along with the copies of the blood tests, prove enough evidence for a malpractice suits against this one doctor.”

“Another thing, I have to ask you, is that did any type of injury occur when the surgeons were operating on you to remove your liver? And if one did occur, who happened to spot this injury, and did it do anything to endanger your health?”


“I’ve jus told you what injury has occurred as a result of the doctor, having taken out my liver. My whole body has suffered from the removal of my liver. And then, upon being put on a new machine in the hospital, that machine, whatever kind it was, being my body hadn’t been able to adjust to it, it did something to my blood. And it had given me, a blood infection, which I was lucky for some antibiotic being able to remove it from my system.

Although, it had taken a few weeks to a month, for this infection to go away, costing me a lot of money, being my insurance hadn’t covered it. And this blood infection, alone, almost, did its job in taking my life. However Rob and Cherry happened to jus get me to the hospital, in time, before the blood infection had any chance to do more harm than good to my body.”

“Do you have anything else to say about the matter at this time? Something to justify that the blood infection has injured your body to some extent, or that you suffered an injury due to removal of your liver?”

“Yes, and no; I can say that the blood infection, which never came back, yet, has injured me in such a way. That the blood infection has compromised my immune system. I’ll be lucky if I don’t come down with cancer due to what the doctor has put me through, because he caused undue stress on me by taking out my liver when I didn’t give him, the approval, to do so. And another thing was that he didn’t give me, any anesthesia before the operation.
All he did was put me to sleep though using gas on me, which ended up making me quite dizzy when I started to come to as the gas was wearing off.”

“Okay, I can say, that you do have a good claim against the doctor. One thing that has to be emphasized, I see, during your time in court, is that how the doctor, almost, took your life. And that if it wasn’t for that new apparatus at the hospital, you would have been dead by now. Another thing that has to be brought up in court is that when he ordered your liver to be taken out, he, really, had in mind to take your life, not make it better.”

Then, he said to me and Rob, “Do you either of you have anything to add to what he has jus told me, now? I’m looking for anything else which can be used for evidence in this case.”

“Yes, Constance, here is a copy of all the tests, taken on Martin, while he was in the hospital at that one time. I’m sure you will be able to use all of this for evidence during the course of the case.”

“Is that all for today, Rob? And do you Cherry want to add anything to this case, that you know will be of good evidence to justify the malpractice case against the doctor?”

“Yes, that is all we have for the case, right now. However, I might be able to get hold of the hospital files, somehow, on Martin. I have contacted a detective for the case, and I’ll see what he can get for me for Martin’s case.”

“Well, it’s been nice talking to all of you, and I hope that everything works out in your favor. And that I can get the malpractice case against that doctor to go through.”

So, then, about two weeks later, being the doctor has received an order to go to court, Martin, Rob and me founds ourselves in court, fighting for Martin’s case. We jus were hoping at this time, that we had enough evidence against the doctor, to make him, lose his job, and without going to drastic measures to get the hospital, closed down.

So, as Martin, Rob, and I walked into the court, and the doctor followed us, as all of us, took our seats, then, Judge Michael Redford jus entered the court, and took his place right at his desk.

Then, he said to all seated for the court session, that morning, “Will you all please rise,” and then, he said to the defendant, which was Martin, “Okay, Martin, please come over here, and take your seat, right over here, beside me. Raise your right hand, and take the oath. Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, nothing but the truth, so help me, God?”

“Yes, I do,” he answered.

And then, the judge said to him in a formal voice, “Okay, now, you may be seated. Now, please ask him, your questions, and before you even begin, make sure, that all of the questions pertain to this case.”

So, then, the attorney for the doctor, said to Martin, “Why do you think you have a sound malpractice against the doctor, the plaintiff, here?”

“Well, I, firmly, believe that this doctor has done great bodily harm to me through having performed surgery on me when I didn’t need any surgery to begin with.”

“Okay, then, what is it, you feel the doctor has done wrong? Have you been injured in any way as a result of him, having performed this surgery on you?”

“Yes, I do, and at the time, I had been in the hospital for care, I solemnly swear that I am telling you, the truth about the whole situation. While in the hospital, through some blood tests which one of the nurses had performed on me, it was found, that there jus happened to be a lot of fullerenes in my system. And that these fullerenes had been responsible for me, having my near death experience.”

“How long were you underground in your grave, and can you say, and have proof, that the doctor who had waited on your during your hospital stay, had been the one responsible for putting these fullerenes in your IV at another time when you were in the hospital, and, also, when you were in the hospital, the last time?”

“Yes, through the copies of the blood tests, I can prove that the doctor was the one, who had placed these fullerenes inside my body, at least, two times during my hospital stay. And that he did it on purpose, so that these drugs would make me, appear as if I was stone dead. And that’s why I had been buried alive in my grave.

And, during my last visit to the hospital, he had been responsible for doing this, a second time; jus so that he could justify that was why I had needed surgery for my liver. Also, he claimed jus before surgery through having talked to one of the nurses that these drugs had caused my liver to go bad. And that that alone justified the necessity for removal of my liver, which, of course, in his case, was jus one big lie. So, he could go on, and take my life in his own hands, through trying to take my life away.”

“Do you know of any other reason, why he didn’t jus go ahead, and pump your stomach, instead, of making you go through liver surgery, which, almost, caused your death?”

“Yes, your Honor, I found out from one of the nurses over at the hospital during my stay, there. That one of the reasons, he didn’t go ahead and jus pump out my stomach, was that he claimed I had a blood infection, which couldn’t go unchecked. However, I don’t justify this statement, because I can, certainly, say, that why would he have put fullerenes in my body when he knew, that in having a blood infection in my heart, that these drugs could have been deadly for me.”

“Another thing is that can you, honestly, say, that the reason for him, putting these drugs in your body, was so that, hopefully, through putting enough of them in your system, would, eventually, lower your body’s defenses. Therefore, can you say that what he had been doing these two times was that he was trying to kill you, committing murder?”

“Yes, I agree with those statements. Both of them, apparently, are true, and can be confirmed through the test results from my blood tests and any other tests, which were given me during my two stays at the hospital.”

“Okay, that is enough questions for him.”




































CHAPTER II


“Now, you, Martin, may go back to your seat. And now, doctor, the plaintiff in this case, please rise, and go over here and take your seat. Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, nothing but the truth, so help me, God?”

“Yes, you Honor.”

“Okay, you may be seated, and please go ahead with the questions, now.”

“Now, doctor, were you the only doctor, who waited on Martin during both of his hospital stays?”

“Yes, I was, your Honor.”

‘Okay, were you the one, who went ahead, and put these fullerenes down Martin’s IV, during both of his hospital stays?”

“Yes, I was, your Honor; I can’t lie because I’m under oath at this time.”

“And to your knowledge, did anyone else, like any of the nurses or any of the other doctors, there, at the hospital, also, placed any fullerenes down his IV?”

“No, not that I know of, because if there had been anyone else, one of the other nurses or doctors or even Rob or Cherry would have, eventually, caught this person, doing this to Martin.”

“Okay, is it true, that you hadn’t ask consent from either Martin, Rob, or Cherry during his hospital stay for removal of his liver, or to put these fullerenes inside of his body?”

“Yes, that is true; and the reason, I hadn’t asked consent for removal of his liver, was because through one of the blood tests, it was shown, that, eventually, his liver would go bad, and that he would end up having it removed, anyways, because of a mass, found in his liver during his last hospital stay.”

“That is not true, your Honor,” said Martin in a frantic voice, “one of the nurses had told me, that the reason for the liver surgery, was so that, hopefully, it would cover up his reason why he didn’t think, he should pump out my stomach, during my last hospital stay.”

“So, what you are saying to me, is that he went ahead, and removed your liver, so, that, hopefully, in doing so, would bring on this blood infection, again, which was shown in the blood tests results.”

“Yes, your Honor; also, the doctor had wanted me to get that blood infection, jus so that he would end up killing me in the end, because he knew, I couldn’t live without my liver. Also, he knew I was a ghost, transformed into a human being. And that’s another reason why he wanted to see me dead.”

“Okay, the last answer seems to justify, exactly, why the doctor wanted to remove his liver, and why he wanted to see Martin, suffer a year or more in his grave while still being alive. Okay, no more questions for either the plaintiff or defendant. Now, I’m going to take a break and during this time, the jury is going to decide what the outcome is going to be of this trial.”

So, then, while they all were walking outside the court, Martin couldn’t help but notice the grim look on the doctor’s face, because the doctor, finally, was feeling guilty for all the suffering, he has caused Martin, during his two hospital stays.

Then, after the break, as all were reentering the court, the doctor, actually, had tears in his eyes, because he jus knew, what the outcome was going to be of this malpractice suit.

Then, after all sat down in their seats, the judge said to everyone, “Now, I have, here, an envelope, which a member of the jury has jus handed me. And upon opening this envelope, it says, “According to what everything, which has been revealed about the doctor in this court, today, justifies that Martin, really, has a good malpractice suit against the doctor. And as a result of this malpractice suit, the doctor, definitely, is not allowed to set foot in that hospital, anymore. And another thing is that he has, definitely, tried to commit first degree murder against Martin, through putting those fullerenes into his IV during both hospital stays. So, I can say, now, that in addition to losing his job over at the hospital, this malpractice may jus cause the hospital to close down in the near future, because it gives this hospital, a very bad reputation, that can’t be erased.”

Then, as the judge was ready to proceed, then, another member of the jury gave the judge, another envelope. And as the judge opened up this envelope, he said to all in the court, “According to what has been written in this statement, the doctor, also, is being sued by Martin, Rob, and Cherry. And they have a definite malpractice suit against the doctor for a total of a million dollars. Also, since, it has been justified; that the doctor did make two attempts to take Martin’s life, he, now, has a stiff sentence. And this sentence reads: The doctor, Dr. Fullerton, is being sentenced to life in prison without parole. And if it happens, that anything changes during the course of the doctor’s stay in jail. That the only thing that will change is that he could end up in the electric chair. Okay, the court session is over, and all may leave the court, now.”

Upon leaving the court, Martin felt so relieved, that he felt he could jump for joy after having succeeded in that malpractice suit against his doctor. Now, he didn’t have to worry about, ever again, confronting that doctor, because he was ending up in jail for a life term for having attempted to kill him, at least, three times, two times with fullerenes and once with taking out his liver when he didn’t need to have liver surgery.

Now, as Martin, Rob, and I reached the cabin, I knew darn well, that Martin, really, wanted to stay in my life. And there was nothing I could do about the situation, since, he had to stay under my and Rob’s care, at least, until he fully, recovered from his surgery.

Another thing was that it would, probably, take time for him to recover from his liver surgery. Especially, that because he jus had a liver transplant, not too long ago, I had to watch him, very carefully, to make sure, he kept taking his medicine. It was important because neither Rob nor I wanted him, to reject his own liver.

Also, Martin wanted to be a father to my twins when they were born, especially, because he, actually, was the true father of my babies.

One main problem for Rob and I was, that we, probably, would have to put our lives on hold for awhile, jus so that we could make sure. That Martin took good care of himself, and that took some trying, because either Rob or I had to keep giving him, baths, so, he could keep himself, very clean, especially, after the surgery until he was healed, it was very important, that he do so.

One thing was that we couldn’t allow Martin to live on his own, anywhere, and there weren’t any group homes in the area, where we could have him, transferred to, either. So, then, even if we did find one in the near future for him, it would be the last thing, he wanted for himself, because it was apparent, that he was, still, in love with me.

And I wasn’t about to try anything, to make him, moving out of the cabin, because it would mean. That he would suffer undue loneliness in being away from me, and this would mean, that living in a group home. He, probably, wouldn’t be allowed to come and see me and Rob. Although, Rob and I would be allowed to see him in a group home.

However, a group home was the last thing on my mind, because I didn’t want to hurt Martin, in any way. And if he had to move somewhere else, this would mean, that he would lose all privileges to be the father to his twins when they were born. Also, he would never be able to see me enough, either.

And I didn’t want to ruin life for him, either, through forcing him to move anywhere against his will, either.

And another thing was that I knew he loved me, dearly. And I didn’t want to ruin this situation for him, at any time. Although, Rob, really, didn’t think it was a good idea that he keep living in the cabin with the two of us.

If either Rob or I ever made him, move somewhere else, then, this, definitely, would cause undue loneliness for him.

And when the twins were born, it wouldn’t be good for them to be raised without being able to see their real father. Although, Rob has agreed to father them when they are born.

Also, making Martin, move, would be one thing, which I would regret for the rest of my life. And then, if it ever happened that I got any of my feelings back for him, which was starting to happen to me. Then, it would be very hard on me if he ever had to move out of the cabin, and not be allowed to live with Rob and me, anymore.

However, I wasn’t about to allow Martin to stop Rob and I from having a love life of our own. And the thing was that since, Martin was, now, back in my life. That this meant he would be begging me to spend some time in bed with him, probably, after he recovered from his liver surgery and liver transplant.

Being Martin wasn’t allowed in the bedroom, whenever Rob and I weren’t making love, then, he locked the door. So, that Martin couldn’t interfere with our love life when we were making love. It, also, turned out that Martin, when he was fully recovered from his surgery, that he wanted to make love to me, too. And I didn’t know what to do about this situation.

However, I knew that when Rob wasn’t around, and he was over at the resort, starting next season. That Martin, really, would be coming after me, and begging me to make love with him. So, then, even before Rob got his job back over at the resort, one night, when he was outside. And he, still, was riding on his four-wheeler around dusk, then, I allowed Martin to come into the bedroom with me.

So, then, in knowing, that Rob wouldn’t be back, right away, that night, Martin, then, sneaked over to the bedroom. And I, only, was relaxing at the time, trying to play some video game on the television in the bedroom. So, as Martin approached the bedroom door, he knocked on the door.

So, then, I walked over to the doorway, and then, before I, actually, realized, what was going on. Then, Martin walked inside the bedroom out of his own free will. And then, I was speechless at the time, as he sat down on the bed with me. At first, he jus wanted to spend the night with me, in playing video games. However, after we played a couple of video games, then, he wanted to get fresh with me.

As he leaned over and kissed me, I didn’t know how to react to him. So, I jus allowed him to kiss me, and then, I turned my head away from him. However, then, before I realized what was going on, he started touching me. And then, I jus started feeling all of this fire, building up inside of me. And he, actually, was overpowering me with his touch. And I couldn’t even resist his touch at this time, because I, then, realized that my feelings for him were starting to come back to me.

So, then, upon looking at the clock on a bedside table, I knew that Rob wouldn’t be back from his ride for awhile, yet.

However, I felt I couldn’t give into making love, that night, although, I, still, had some time to give into Martin. However, something inside of me, held me back from allowing him to make love to me. And then, this seemed to hurt him, a little inside.

And I could sense this, so, then, I allowed him to make love to me. And I wasn’t sure if I was doing the right thing at this time. It was a quick one for us, and as soon as we were done, I put the bed back the way, it was, so, it would jus look like I have been taking a nap in the bed.

Jus after I allowed him to make love to me, I started feeling quite guilty inside, because I didn’t know if I should be allowing myself to give into Martin.

However, then, Martin jus went back to the living room, and started playing some video games on the television in that room.

When it seemed like he jus walked into the living room, Rob happened to walk inside and was through for the evening, with taking a ride on his four-wheeler.

And I wondered if he could sense at this time if Martin and I had been making love while he had been gone.

So, then, it happened that Rob was in the mood for making love, and he even
brought it up to me, upon walking into his bedroom. However, I didn’t know how to respond to this because I didn’t seem to have the same urge inside of me at this time. So, in not having the urge, I, still, allowed myself to give into him, as he lay down on the bed beside me.

And at this time, I kind of knew, that I shouldn’t be making love because I was about due to have my twins, and that I could be having them any time now.

So, then, I said to Rob, not mentioning what Martin had pulled on me, “I can sense that you want to make love to me, tonight. However, I am sort of worried about getting into it, tonight. It’s jus that I’m getting close to having the twins, and should be more cautious about making lave at being, at least, eight months along in my pregnancy. What do you think, my love? Do you think that in making love at this time, could bring on a miscarriage, or an early labor?”

“No, I jus think you are being a little foolish. The twins aren’t due for another month. So, I think that you should give into making love while the twins aren’t born, yet. Because as soon as they’re born, you’ll find that you won’t be having the time to put aside for making love. So, will you, please give into me, tonight?”

“I’m still a little leery about the whole situation; however, I will give in jus for you, my darling. However, when I get into the ninth month, I’d better concentrate on my Lamaze classes, and forget about making love. And jus think about taking it easy, so that I won’t have any problems when it comes down to being in labor with the twins.”

So, then, feeling a little guilty that I had allowed Martin, to make love to me. I, anyways, gave into Rob, too, and before I realized what was going on, I, then, was making love with Rob. However, as soon as we were done making love, I, quickly, got out of bed. Then, I went ahead, and took a shower before going back
to bed, although, Rob didn’t bother taking one with me at this time.





























CHAPTER III


After this one night, every time, it seemed, that Rob wanted to make love to me, he didn’t seem to be around whenever he wanted it. And then, I wasn’t ever aware of these feelings, because Rob never seemed to be home very much. His seasonal job over at the resort, left so very little time, for him, to be around to make love to me.

And since, Martin, although, he was, still, in human form, however, being a divine being in a sense, jus because the Lord had allowed him to stay alive while being buried in a cemetery for over a year’s time. He could sense, that Rob and I were having some feelings about this lack of making love between us. So, then, Martin felt free to walk inside the bedroom whenever I was, there.

So, although, he knew, I was close to have my twins, he made an effort to go against my will in walking inside the bedroom, at night, before he decided to settle in his daybed in the living room. And then, more than once, he caught me off guard, jus because he didn’t seem to have the sense, to want to knock on the door before entering the bedroom.

So, one night, when he jus walked into the bedroom, I didn’t seem to be acting like my usual self. I was jus lying, there, on the bed in tears, complaining of having very strong contractions. So, he, then, was aware, that I, actually, was in labor at the time.

So, then, he was lost, at first, as to what to do, although, he has been taking those Lamaze classes with me, as he had promised to do with me.

So, walked right over to me, and asked me, “My dear, you are in labor, aren’t you? So, how far along do you think you are into your contractions? How far apart are they, approximately?”

“My contractions are approximately, about five minutes apart, and I have no idea of how long, I have been laying, here, on the bed. So, jus go ahead, and grab that phone over there, and call an ambulance for me. It doesn’t help that you don’t have a car to drive me right over to the hospital.”

So, then, without another word, he, practically, ran over to the side table where the phone was at. And upon someone answering the phone on the other line, it was a woman in her forties, a nurse, so, then, he said to her, “I have an emergency over here at the house. This is Martin, and Cherry, here, is in labor, and she jus told me, that her contractions are about five minutes apart. And being I jus walked into the bedroom, I have no idea, jus how far along she’s in her labor.”

“Okay,” a woman said on the other end, “you have taken Lamaze classes with her, haven’t you?”

“Yes, I have.”

“Well, then, help her, keep track of her breathing, and I’ll get an ambulance right over to the house, right away, Martin. And don’t worry; we have the directions to the house over here at the hospital. And jus stay with her, and another thing is, has her water broken?”

“Yes, it, unfortunately, jus has,” and I’m going to try to clean it up, somewhat, and please get that ambulance, over here, right away. Because if you don’t, she might not make it to the hospital in time to have her twins.”

Martin didn’t have the phone number for over at the resort. So, he didn’t know how he was going to get a hold of Rob about the situation. Because Martin jus knew, that Rob would want to be over at the cabin, jus because I was in labor, and about to have my twins.
So, being it took too long for the ambulance to get over to the house, Martin had to take the situation into his own hands. In the first place, he didn’t even know the first thing about delivering a baby. So, then, he asked me what he should do, like I, really, knew how to deliver my own twins.

I had to guess at what he would need, so, I said to him, “Well, Martin, you’d better go and get me some supplies for delivering the baby. And for one thing, be sure to get one or two blankets out of the bedroom, here, being I have been prepared for having these twins for over a month, now. And, also, get the baby tub out of the bathroom along with some baby wash and the diapers, at least, two of them for now; and of course, some shaving cream and a couple of washcloths.”

“Is there anything else that you think you might need to help me, deliver my twins? Have you ever had the opportunity before to help deliver any babies?”

“No, I haven’t, Cherry; in fact, I am going to have to get Rob, over here, and I hope, you have his phone number, because I know he used to be a doctor. And I, really, need him, right now, because I don’t know everything about delivering babies. So, please call over at the resort, right now, before it comes time for you to have your babies.”

So, then, I grabbed the phone, and upon getting hold of someone over at the resort, I said to the guy, who answered the phone, Mr. Kellerman, “I have an emergency, here, over at the house. In fact, Rob’s girlfriend, Cherry, is in labor, and I don’t know, exactly, how far she is along in her labor. However, I need Rob back home as fast as he can get here.”

“Okay, settle down, Martin, I’ll tell him, right away, what the situation is. And I’m sure, he’ll get over there, right away, as soon as he can. The resort isn’t far away from his cabin, to begin with.”

So, then, Rob happened to be right in the building, the main building, where Mr. Kellerman was at. So, he gave Rob, a cue, to stop dancing with his partner, and to get over to where he was at.

As soon as Rob ran over to Mr. Kellerman, he said to him, “Well, what can I do for you, Mr. Kellerman?”

Since, he could sense, that I might be in labor at this time, he said to Mr. Kellerman, “What is it, is my girlfriend in labor at this time?”

“Yes, she is, Rob, and she needs you over there, right away, to get her to the hospital. And if it happens that you can’t get over there in time, then, you’ll have to assist Martin in helping deliver the babies.”

So, he answered to him, “Okay, I jus, somehow, figured that this was the case. Okay, I’ll leave, right away, and jus hope, that I get there in time, at least, to deliver the twins for her.”

So, Rob ran out right to his Chevy, and hopping into it, drove off with it, heading for his cabin with great speed. And he was hoping that a cop wouldn’t try to stop him while he was on his way back to the cabin. And he jus happened to get lucky, partly, because he placed a handicap sign in the back of his car, which seemed to keep the cops away from him.

He arrived at the cabin about a few minutes later, and while he was on his way, there, Martin has stayed at my side. And he’s been trying to cue me into my breathing, to help lessen the labor pains.

So, to his surprise, Martin jus happened to look out one of the windows. And he was very surprised to have seen Rob, arrive over at the cabin, so quickly.

Upon Rob running through the door, and into the bedroom, he, then, said to Martin, “Since, these, really, are your babies, which are going to be delivered by me, you can stay right, here, in the bedroom. And you can assist when it comes time to deliver the twins.”

And Martin was very surprised, that Rob allowed him to stay inside the bedroom. So, then, both he and Rob were cuing me in on my breathing. And it came too much for me, to follow both of them. So, then, Rob had Martin hold my left hand, while he was holding onto my right hand, and had Martin, cuing me in on my breathing on his own..

He was, constantly, reminding me to keep breathing, deeply. And all during that time, in which he was doing so, then, Martin jus helped me, try to stay relaxed.

And before Martin and Rob realized, that it was time for me, to deliver the twins, Rob had me shaved, already. Also, he had a blanket over me to help keep me, warm.

And all during my labor, I was screaming bloody murder, which didn’t seem to be too much for either Rob or Martin.

When it was time for me to deliver the first twin, I was doing, fairly, well in my breathing. And while Rob jus was doing his job as being a doctor, Martin jus kept at my side and kept at his job of cuing me in my breathing.

Now, that the first twin’s head was crowning, Martin helped Rob, gently, pull the twin out of me. And as soon as the baby was out of my womb, then, Rob cut the tube off the baby. And while Martin was taking care of that twin, then, Rob took over the cuing of my breathing.

And as soon as the other twin was all washed up, then, Martin took over in delivering the second twin. And Rob was astonished at what Martin knew about delivering babies. However, he jus figured that he, somehow, had the sense of doing it all. Then, as soon as the second twin’s head was crowning, then, Martin pulled the baby out while Rob cut the tube off on the other twin.

Then, Rob was looking after the first twin, checking him out, while Martin was cleaning the second twin. And after its’ cleaning, then, Rob checked out the second twin. And they both were surprised, that both twins seemed to be doing alright, except for the second twin, having an enlarged heart, which Martin didn’t know about, right away. Except Rob happened to notice that the second twin’s heart wasn’t beating, properly. And he couldn’t say anything about that twin to me while he was trying to catch his breath...

As soon as he was able to, he said to me, “Well, my dear, I jus don’t know how to put this to you, and I know that you have been taking care of yourself all through your pregnancy. However, the second twin, Noah, jus happens to have an enlarged heart. And I’m going to have to take more time off from my job to get him to the hospital, right away. And you, Martin, make sure that Cherry gets her rest, while I’m on my way over to the hospital with both of the twins. I want to have the other one, checked out, thoroughly, too, because it’s possible that both of the twins could have an enlarged heart, or even something else wrong with them.”

Before Martin had a chance to say one word to Rob, he then, grabbed both twins. As Martin opened up the front door for Rob, Rob, literally, ran out the door. And upon him, arriving at his car, then, Martin helped him and the twins in the car. Then, Rob, quickly, took off for the hospital, as Martin was waving goodbye to him.

BACKFLASH:

While Rob was on his job over at the resort, Martin had been sneaking into the bedroom with me, every night. And this was because his feelings and love for me had come back to him. This had caused me to become closer to him, and then, my relationship with Rob, seemed to grow distant, which wasn’t good for either of us. And this, really, seemed to create a big problem for our love life, especially, because it, really, was getting to me because I was growing, lonely, for Rob in my life. And it jus seemed like Martin and I were starting to get our life back together.

I thought at first, that Rob and I would start to grow closer together, because I, always, believed in the saying, that the longer you’re away from a love one, that the heart grows fonder. However, this jus didn’t seem to be the case between Rob and me.

So, then, I jus kept leaning on Martin, more and more for his love. And jus happened to help us to get our lives back together, the way, it used to be between us before when, I had thought, that Martin was dead in his grave, when he, only, hadn’t, really, been dead to begin with.

Being this was creating a big problem for Rob’s and my love life, it, only, seemed to be natural that Martin and I would keep leaning on each other for support, and also, for our love for each other.

It wasn’t that I didn’t want to take any action about my love life with Rob. It jus was that I, least, expected us to grow apart from each other, which was, exactly, which has been happening between us. So, then, I jus felt like I didn’t need Rob, anymore, in my life. And it hadn’t helped that he never took the time, to give me, a call, now and then, when he was working over at the resort.

So, then, Martin had started acting like he owned me, all the time. So, since, I could sense this in him, I, no longer, was afraid, that one of the women over at the resort could steal Rob away from me. Because, now, all I cared about was having Martin, back again, in my life, which seemed to be creating a life of roses for me. And I never seemed to be dreaming about Rob at any time, because all of my love dreams, always, seemed to be about Martin instead of Rob.

Now, that the twins had been born, Martin was acting like he owned the cabin, particularly, because Rob couldn’t stay away from his job, any longer, except to deliver the twins and get them to the hospital. As soon as he reached the hospital, from there, he had to drive back to the resort and his job as a dance partner.

At this time, Martin stayed at my side while I was resting, partly, because he felt, it was his duty to do so. And I don’t think, he was realizing, that after the delivery of both of the twins, that I had been close to tears, worrying if both of the twins would make it, now. And being that one had an enlarged heart, this, really, was placing a big burden on both me and Martin, at this time.

The twin with the enlarged heart was too young to have an operation. So, I would have to wait, at least, one month for the twin to have his operation. Even before my labor, I had sensed that one of the twins might not make it through delivery, which hadn’t been the case.

Now, that the twins were born, and one had an enlarged heart, this didn’t do anything to soften Rob’s heart. So, then, he, still, wasn’t calling me from over at the resort. And it was, partly, because he couldn’t put up with the aggravation of Martin, being able to help me, take care of the twins, when they came home from the hospital. Also, he knew that Martin, now, would do all he could, to stop Rob from being able to be a father to the twins

Another thing was that there wasn’t anything Rob could do, to force Martin to move out of the cabin, being that, now; he knew that I, really, fell deeper into love with him, ever since, the babies have been born.

I had no idea about this, however Rob has been trying to work on a secret plan, which he was going to try and carry out when he got back from the resort. However, it was too late for him, to even considering going through with trying to get Martin to move out of his cabin. And Martin has every right to continue living at the cabin with me, being he was, now, being father to the twins.

So, then, there was nothing Rob could do, even going through court, to get back full custody of the twins, if they both happen to live, especially, the one with the enlarged heart. Also Martin has full rights of being a father to the twins, no matter what Rob tries to do. Rob can’t do anything to get his father rights back at all.

Rob has been lucky that he was allowed to leave the resort for a day or two, to help deliver the twins.

However, a court order put through by Martin, through Rob’s lawyer, forced Rob out of the hospital, when he brought them, there, to be checked out.

Also, he, never, was allowed to set foot inside his cabin; ever again, being that Martin was responsible for not allowing Rob, ever again, inside his cabin, jus because Martin was the real father of the twins. And another thing was that Rob, never, would be allowed to be father of any of the twins, either, jus because he never had the rights to begin with to deliver any of the twins, jus because he never agreed to finish his schooling to become a doctor.

Another thing was that during the time, both of the twins were inside the hospital, only, Martin and I was allowed to visit any of the twins.

And if Rob, ever, set foot inside that hospital, again, he was going to be arrested and have to go to jail, jus because in not being a real father to the twins, he went ahead and tried to deliver them, anyways.

This was another thing that caused him to lose ownership rights to his cabin. And as a result, the cabin became Martin’s and mine.

During the times, in which Martin and I went over to the hospital to visit the twins, he seemed to change into the form of a ghost. This was so that if Rob, ever, was found by any doctor, over at the hospital, when Martin and I were, I could claim that I was visiting the twins on my own. And that Martin was at home, looking after the cabin at these times.

The doctor, who used to take care of Martin, happened to have, somehow, escaped the jail. So, then, when, Martin and I found him over at the hospital, I had a nurse call the police, and then, when the police, quickly, came over to the hospital to pick the doctor up. The doctor, then, was taken back to jail, again.

So, the doctor, who was going to take care of the twins, happened to have ordered surgery for an enlarged heart for one of the twins. Also, it was too early, yet, for the twin to be operated on. However, being some of the surgeons were given the order, they had to go through with it before the cops had any chance to get the doctor, arrested in time.

And at that time, the lawsuit, finally, went through, so, not, only, didn’t the doctor lose his job, again, however, he lost all of his pay, which he ever earned while on the job at that hospital. And now, he went bankrupt, and all the monies which he ever earned were placed towards the twin’s heart surgery.

However, before any of the other doctors, even were aware, that Noah, one of my twins with the enlarged heart, was too young to be operated on, thinking that he was at the required age of three months, this one doctor operated on the twin, anyways. And he did something wrong to make the twin, die during surgery.

So, then, another malpractice suit went through in court on the doctor, which malpractice suit caused him to lose his house and well as all money, which he had saved away into saving accounts, which money had been earned through money laundering. And this case caused a more extreme sentence on the doctor, and he, then, ended up in the electric chair.

Being that one of the twins never survived surgery, although, the other one could be taken home, again. So, that Martin and I could provide care for him, he jus couldn’t take the grief, which this twin’s death was causing him.

So, one night, when I jus happened to walk inside the bedroom, to see what he was up, being I sensed, at the time, that he, really, was up to something, I jus happened to catch Martin, lying on the bed with a kitchen knife by his side, which was full of blood.

Then, I jus realized that upon feeling Martin on his neck, that he was stone dead. And that he had committed suicide through taking his life with a knife. This was a gory sight to me, because what I was, actually, seeing before my eyes, was Martin, laying, there, full of blood, which seemed to be trickling down from his heart.

So, I knew, he had taken his life, however the reason he had taken his life, seemed to be clear to me. However, I haven’t been able to get him, help, at all, being that after he found out, that one of the twins died during surgery. That he didn’t seem to be able to take care of the other twin, and help me out whenever I needed his help.

He jus has been walking over to the crib, where the other twin has been sleeping. And every time, he has been doing so, I have been noticing, that most of the time, he has gone over to the twin. That he jus couldn’t help, but go into tears over the baby’s death. Another thing that he has been doing is going over to me, and jus hugging me like it’s been the end of the world.

And it seemed so mysterious to me, that, now, I was left all alone in life. and it seemed that Martin’s body was never found by anyone, except for me.

And then, that same night on which I had found Martin, all bloody, on my bed, I, then, found some sheets and wrapped him in them. And then, I walked outside to where some bare ground was, and there, right by the cabin, I dug a hole, and buried him, right there, because I didn’t want his case to get the press. If this ever made its way to the press, I could become s suspect for his death when I hadn’t done anything wrong to drive him to suicide.
