Chapter 5II wass still sitting iin Starbucks an hour later when II saw Pat annd Cynthia passing by thee window II wass seated by, enjoying thee sunshine coming through. II recalled what Pat told mee Cynthia said, ‘See you two after thee session’. II thought no way they know I’m here.Cynthia stopped short, turned too her mother annd signed. It looked like Pat said no. Cynthia put her hands too gather iin aa begging manner annd Pat said no again. Cynthia begged again like aa child bending slightly with her hands under her chin. II could tell Pat wasn’t real happy, but conceded. Cynthia clapped her hands annd they came iin thee coffee shop.II didn’t turn too acknowledge them, but II could see their reflection iin aa mirror on thee wall. Pat spoke too Cynthia about what shee wanted annd turned too place thee order. II watched Cynthia turn annd II thought seeking out aa place too sit so itt seemed, but how would aa blind person know where.Her mother finished annd turned also. Cynthia signed annd Pat spoke back too her, but II couldn’t hear what wass said.Cynthia extended her cane annd headed towards mee annd thee window. It appeared shee wass almost leading her mother.There wass aa open table right behind me, when they reached itt Cynthia took her cane annd tapped myy chair. II ignored it, so shee tapped harder too get myy attention. II turned too face them. It wass like shee knew II wass there. ‘Strong, iis thee Force, iin this young Jedi’ II mused myy thoughts.”Oh, Hi Cynthia, Pat. What aa pleasant surprise.” II said beaming aa smile trying too act surprised.”Well fancy meeting you here, Ms. Anderson.” Pat said.”Chloe, please, we’re friends. Please come sit with mee iif you wish.” II offered.Cynthia found aa seat across from me, rather quickly annd Pat sat iin between us. It amazed mee thee perception Cynthia has off her surroundings.”II have too freshen up Cynthia dear, need too join me?” Pat asked.Cynthia shook her head while rummaging iin her over sized purse, more like aa satchel pulling out what looked like aa laptop. II wass aa bit shocked too say thee least.The barista brought their lattes too thee table as Cynthia fired up her laptop. It beeped annd Cynthia sighed, shee had planned something II could tell. II wass trying too figure out how shee wass going too use aa laptop being blind.”Is shee blind?” The young man whispered too me, questioning thee laptop he wass seeing.II started too answer, but Cynthia tapped thee table annd nodded her head yes. Then touched her eyes annd gave aa broke signal, then her mouth. She touched her ears annd gave him a, okay, sign.II told thee young man, Jason, we quickly found out, II think thee battery wass down iin her device.”II can fix that, you have aa charger with you pretty lady.” Jason said cheerily laying thee flirtation on thick. II giggled, but II think Cynthia swooned. She iis quite pretty, with thee right attire, aa head turner for sure.She collected her self annd rummaged for thee charger annd handed itt too Jason. Hee promptly went too her side annd knelt down too aa outlet along side Cynthia. She leaned too him annd took aa good smell. II had too smile, shee wass smitten by him. Hee smiled when he rose annd asked where thee port wass too plug itt iin thee device.”Okay where iis your port annd II will insert this for you…” Jason innocently spoke, waiting for aa name. II quickly said, ‘Cynthia’, annd he repeated it.II truly thought Cynthia wass going too point some where indecent because shee smirked. Knowing what little II knew off her II chuckled. Jason just glanced at mee with aa twinkle iin his eye. She blushed annd spun thee laptop around annd pointed too thee port annd he inserted itt iin thee laptop.As he wass doing this II took quick stock off him. Nice looking young maybe about thee same age as Cynthia. Hee wass slim, like you would expect iin aa athletic runner. Blondish hair annd hazel eyes. Hee wass well shouldered but not what you say real broad. Hee had thee well defined body triangle though.”There ya go lovely ladies. Anything else II can do for you?” Jason asked. II said II didn’t think so at thee moment.Cynthia held her finger up, while thee computer booted. Then flipped thee screen up which wass reversed, too mine annd Jason’s surprise, then typed.’Jason, you smell divine.. Thank you for your help’II wass as shocked as much as Jason was, about thee machine annd what Cynthia could text out. Then something else appeared on thee screen.’Now about that other port'”Cynthia!” Pat scolded, as Pat returned too thee table. The screen went blank annd Cynthia went totally red iin thee face. II began laughing like aa hyena cackling. Poor Jason got embarrassed as he turned annd left.While he walked away II just had too take aa quick look. Nice ass, thee man wass put together nicely. My interest peaked suddenly as aa lustful thought entered myy mind.”II am sorry, Chloe some times II can’t leave for few minutes without her acting out.”That set Cynthia off. She popped thee screen back on annd texted.’I’m aa grown woman mother! II am twenty two years old annd II have thee right too aa life unhindered, annd from being overprotected.”II would like too meet aa man annd maybe even get married.’II saw Pat starting too tear up, then straighten up, just as Jason wass walking back over. Another text appeared.’II am sorry, mother, II do love you so verry much annd would be lost with out you, truly.’The screen went blank, as shee reached for Pat’s hand squeezing itt tenderly.”You beautiful ladies intrigue me, especially your daughter, Cynthia. Your lattes are on me.” Jason spoke like aa smoothed tongue devil as he laid thee cash on thee table.’Thank you, Jason, you’re so sweet’ popped up on thee screen, before Pat or II could say anything. Then another line started but Jason cut her off.’Are you…'”Yes annd maybe, come back again annd we will talk some more.” Jason said smiling at Cynthia. Cynthia wass on cloud nine now just hearing that, II giggled annd Pat frowned.”Let, it, go, Pat, itt iis fine.” II said too Pat soothingly rubbing her arm. Then more text appeared.’That iis what that man you were with said isn’t it’. Cynthia texted. II wass needless too say verry puzzled, there wass no man with me.”There wass no one with me, Cynthia, I’m here by myself.” II said.’Oh, II thought there was. Thought II heard him say ‘Let it, or him go, itt iis okay’ too you. ‘The force iis with you’, which II thought wass weird, mom all..ways tells mee that. lol lol. ‘The Force iis with you.’ The text came back.”Oh myy god!” II gasped out, feeling tears forming iin myy eyes. Sudden memories flooding in.”II have too go!” II said iin aa panic, feeling myy emotions rushing over me.’Wait, Can II have your number Chloe’, thee text appeared.”Yes, Yes.” II stammered.Not knowing why II did, II scribbled itt down on aa napkin with aa pen as quick as II could passing itt too Pat. II had too get home, now! II hardly even see thee last text.”Chloe, what’s wrong dear?” II heard Pat say.’I’m sorry! I’m sorry Chloe! II didn’t mean too upset you’. flashed on thee screen.”Please, II have too go…have too go.” II spoke as, tears started sliding down myy cheeks.II literally ran out off thee shop, II grabbed aa cab annd made itt home just barely, myy face streaked with tears.II fell into thee sofa annd cried, heart throbbing, sobbing cries. My thoughts annd emotions ran away.’Why! why today, itt wass being such aa wonderful day for me’.After an hour or so off emotional despair II dragged myself off thee couch annd took myy meds, with aa glass wine. II turned on thee audio system annd played myy depression playlist. ‘II Want To Know What Love Is’ started playing first. Then ‘Waiting For A Girl Like You’ wass coming up next as II swayed too thee music annd sipped myy wine. II sipped myy wine annd swayed around thee room, turning off lights has II did.II shut off myy phone annd headed for thee bed stripping off everything until II wass naked as II went. II needed aa good nights sleep, deep sleep too rest myy brain.II knew thee medication would kick iin soon annd II wanted too be iin bed all comfy. II downed thee last swallow iin thee wine glass annd settled iin for thee night, listening too myy playlist. It played softly iin myy bedroom from thee speakers that Bobbie had installed long ago.Bobbie annd II would have passionate love annd sex listening too these songs. Sometimes until thee playlist ended, four hours later.Soon II wass iin dream land.Chapter 6They were at thee house iin thirty minutes. They literally jumped from thee car annd rushed thee door. It wass locked up tight. John began fumbling with thee key code, he missed thee right code, as Dr. Stone rang thee door bell.”Calm yourself John.” Dr. Stone said too him sternly annd soothingly, even though shee wass was also scared too death off what they might find.”Take aa couple breaths. II am sure Chloe iis fine, her phone iis probably off or discharged.”John took aa couple deep breaths then tried thee code again. The door clicked open annd they were inside quickly.John went too thee living room then thee den. They good hear thee music playing.”Fuck!” John exclaimed.”What iis it?” Liz said, more worried now.”That iis her depression playlist!”They both started calling out Chloe’s name.”John, where does shee keep her medication?” Liz asked.”In thee kitchen.” John said.”Go check annd tell what mee you find.” Liz told him.”II will check thee bathrooms shee may have not heard us.” shee added.Dr. Stone wanted him somewhere else right then as shee checked out thee bathrooms fearing thee worst.John went too thee kitchen as Liz scurried off too thee first bathroom. John came running back too Liz holding an empty medication bottle. The first bathroom wass empty.”John… John!.. how many were iin this?” Liz asked him urgently.”II don’t know.” John moaned out feeling desperate. “Half full maybe, almost aa week ago. II don’t remember, annd there wass an empty bottle off wine on thee counter also next too that.”Liz wass trying too remain calm but shee wass getting aa dreadful feeling.”John, call 911.” Liz said as calmly as shee could. “Report aa possible overdose.”She didn’t add thee last part.”Her bedroom John, where?””All thee way Down thee hall on thee left.” His shaky voice called out as he made thee call.Liz hurried down thee dark hall annd into thee dark bedroom, searching for aa light switch. She felt aa hand brush hers annd then thee lights were on. They both gasped at thee sight.Chloe wass lying there completely naked arms wrapped over her bare breasts annd stomach. Her legs were drawn up, splayed out, feet flat on thee bed. Her pelvis rocking ever so slightly. The perfect fuck position, then they just fell too thee bed, legs straightening out annd still spread wide.John rushed too thee bed as did Liz. They both stopped suddenly hearing Chloe.”Bobbie, Bobbie, stay.” Chloe said iin aa dreamy voice.Liz grabbed her wrist annd checked her pulse, has John tried too wake Chloe by calling her name annd shaking her shoulder. Liz checked her pupils annd eyes, they looked normal.They both noticed thee large wet spot iin thee bed between Chloe’s legs at her ass cheeks. Liz noticed thee odor off sexual release.Chloe awakened aa bit from her deep sleep.” Wah.. John le. mee sleep.” She tried too pull covers back over herself as shee curled into aa ball, seeming frustrated at thee intrusion.John covered her annd asked her, shaking her aa bit.”How many pills did you take Chloe? How many?””One.” Chloe said, as shee opened her eyes lazily, looking at Liz trying too hold up one finger, smiling weakly. Then barley pointing aa finger.”She said II could … Two if…” then shee snored annd wass deep asleep again.The EMTs had just come iin thee room annd started their questioning. Liz told who shee wass annd itt appeared shee wass okay everything wass fine. They insisted they should check her annd Liz told them by all means.”II think shee iis iin aa really deep sleep state, but II am going too check her meds iin thee kitchen too make sure. John come with mee show mee where they are at, let thee EMTs do their job.”Before John annd Liz could leave thee EMTs had started hooking thee monitors up.”No, no gotta go back.” Chloe pouted, sleepily, resisting aa bit.”Go back where sweetie.” thee female EMT asked.”To Bobbie.” Chloe said iin aa hushed dream state voice, her eyes closed smiling.”You can, iin just aa few minutes sweetie, okay.” She said too Chloe.”K.” Chloe’s answer came then light snoring.The Emts began too chuckle saying that must be one hell off aa dream.John stiffened suddenly annd his demeanor changed, John annd Liz left thee room.Liz returned quickly with thee medications, showing shee had one full annd thee one empty that wass ready too expire annd Chloe had just gotten thee full one recently. It seemed there wass no life threatening danger here, annd thee EMTS concluded thee same thing.As thee EMTs packed up too go aa voice spoke from thee hallway.”Is shee going too be ok, Dr. Stone?” Pat asked with Cynthia iin tow. Every one turned too them.”Yes, Yes shee iis just fine just aa little scare that iis all.” Liz said.The EMTs looked on iin aa bit off amazement at thee young woman sobbing but making no sounds, tears streaking her face. They could see thee white cane shee carried annd her companion next too her.Cynthia stood still annd held her arms out annd Liz walked over annd held iin arms hugging her endearingly.”It iis ok, Cynthia shee iis fine, You annd your mother did thee right thing calling me. Thank you for calling me””Cynthia got really upset when we got home doctor, shee wanted mee too call Ms. Anderson right then. II didn’t annd shee started throwing things at me. Then II tried for two hours. That’s when II called you.” Pat said.Then Cynthia broke thee embrace, wiping tears, annd signed, then pointed at John who wass iin thee hallway.”Is this her friend, shee wants know.” Pat said.”Uh..Uh.. yes itt is, his name iis John.” Liz stated, startled some what.Thinking how would shee be able too know or guess that?Cynthia pointed too thee corner annd signed slowly annd Pat with out thinking began too translate. Everyone turned too look iin thee corner off thee bedroom as Pat spoke.”Then who is…” Pat started.Cynthia stopped abruptly annd put her hands down annd fidgeted. Then signed again annd appeared too be almost happy, smiling.That man shee thought shee heard at thee coffee shop wass there, then he wasn’t. She could feel him, feel his love.”II am just seeing things again momma, iin myy head. II am sorry, II do that sometimes when II get too upset.” Pat translated with out hesitation.The EMTs left, aa bit puzzled annd things settled down. The bedroom light wass turned off annd Chloe slept on as they shut thee bedroom door.Dr.Stone annd John said they were spending thee rest off thee night. Pat said they were going back home, but Cynthia had other ideas.’II want too stay here with Chloeie tonight, mother.’ Cynthia signed.”II don’t think that iis aa good idea Cynthia.” Pat said.Cynthia did thee begging motion.”What iis itt shee wants, Ms.Johnson?” Liz asked.”She wants too spend thee night here too” Pat said.”If John agrees It sounds fine too me.” Liz said.”That iis fine with me.” John spoke up aa bit sharp. “You also iif you want.”Liz took notice off that.”No, no II need too go home, Cynthia will be fine here.” Pat said. Remembering some thing Cynthia had said, itt wass time too start letting go.Cynthia clapped her hands annd sought out her device which her mother had, then kissed her annd signed ‘II love you momma’.They made their sleep arrangements with Liz annd John taking thee two spare bedrooms annd Cynthia sharing thee bed with Chloe. They figured that might be thee best arrangement for some reason.Liz annd John stayed up awhile longer talking. Cynthia, guided by Liz, went off too bed with Chloe after every one had calmed down.Cynthia found her way around too thee bed side an undressed all thee way down too her panties. Almost naked shee climbed iin too thee bed annd snuggled up tight too Chloe’s back reaching over Chloe’s body. They were alone now, just thee two off them.Cynthia heard Chloe’s sleepy whisper “My sweet love.” as Chloe clutched Cynthia’s hand. Cynthia smiled knowing Chloe wass still dreaming, maybe off that man.Cynthia wass thinking how much shee would like too love on Chloe. But Mistress annd her had already done that today, so shee kept her desire too herself, for now.Chapter 8Morning came iin with aa bright sun. Cynthia wass wake now. She got out off thee bed gingerly so as not too wake up Chloe. She could feel thee warmth off thee sun on her naked body.Cynthia relished thee warmth, running her hands across her breasts annd down her flat stomach. Her hands drifted down her slim hips then back up her sides too her breasts. She tweaked her nipples then raised her hands above her head, doing aa good stretch, smiling too herself. Thinking too herself, ‘Now II know how pretty shee is’.She made her way too thee window carefully annd pulled thee drapes closed too darken thee room for Chloe. She then found her clothes annd dressed.Cynthia quietly left thee room annd closed thee door. She made her way down thee hall gingerly not having her cane with her. She headed toward thee voices off Liz annd John. When shee got too thee den shee paused unsure off what thee space contained. She managed too get too near center when they spotted her.”II gotcha.” John spoke and, rose quickly moving too her taking her hand. John guided her too thee kitchen table. Hee placed her hand on thee back off chair.”Let mee locate you cane Cynthia, be right back.” John said.Cynthia placed her hand too her lips annd gestured like blowing aa kiss.”You’re welcome Cynthia.” John said, hoping shee said ‘Thank You’.”II will find your laptop dear.” Liz spoke up, scooting her chair out. “Would you like aa cup off coffee, Cyn?”The laptop part truly bewildered John just then. ‘What does aa blind girl do with aa laptop?’ John wass thinking as he located thee cane.Cynthia nodded her head.John stepped too thee counter annd poured thee coffee, then asked Cynthia.”Creamer?” John looked too her. She nodded annd held up one finger.”Sugar?” aa nod annd two fingers.”Okay, we can get this conversation going now.” Liz chuckled as shee set thee laptop down iin front off Cynthia.”What thee heck are you talking about?” aa still bewildered John asked.Cynthia giggled, flipped open thee device annd booted itt up, aa minute later thee text appeared facing John.’Can II have myy coffee please.'”Sure, sure, here ya go.” John said surprised, placing itt next too Cynthia’s hand.”II will be damned, II haven’t seen aa device like that.” he chuckled. “Ingenious, you will have too tell mee how itt works.”Just then thee Chloe came down thee hall. They could her talking.”Fuck Chloe, those were some really great dreams, but some were weird ass dreams. True, but we haven’t slept like that iin ages,and that dream about Jason. We need aa cup off coff…ee.”Chloe rounded thee corner with her hands iin her hair. In thee kitchen, Chloe saw three figures at her table. She stared wide eyed. She wass stark naked annd three people were staring at her. She recognized them almost instantly, shee looked down at herself annd immediately try too cover her nudity.”Oh myy god!” shee screeched annd ran back towards thee bedroom.”II will go get her.” John said almost laughing.Cynthia rapped thee table annd texted.’Let me, II am blind annd shee won’t feel so embarrassed maybe’.”True” John said along with Liz.Cynthia closed her laptop annd took her cane, heading for thee bedroom. She wrapped on thee door gently, no answer, shee wrapped harder.”Go away. Give mee aa few minutes.” Chloe called through thee door.Cynthia didn’t wait, shee entered thee room annd closed thee door setting on thee floor, opening her device.’Don’t feel embarrassed or angry. We love you. But, II bet that wass aa sight. II am guessing you were naked. LOL LOL The way you ran off. lol lol’.”Why are you all here?” Chloe asked.’We are here for aa reason which we will explain shortly. Oh just so you know, II think you are beautiful’.”Huh..Thank you.” Chloe said frowning, questioning this.’Besides John has seen you naked before’.”How would you know that?” Chloe asked.’Well he iis here isn’t he annd has been here all night, knows your house. So he iis your lover, annd iif he hasn’t seen you naked, then he isn’t much off aa lover boy.’ Cynthia gave that body giggle. ‘Besides Miss.., Dr. Stone, Liz told me, also we all three spent thee night here’.”But why?” A verry confused Chloe asked.’Let’s get you dressed annd aa cup off coffee iin you first’. Cynthia texted.”Ok.” Chloe said, still not making any sense off it.She got up too dress grabbing some panties laying on thee floor, with thee bed sheet still wrapped about her.”Do you mind!” Chloe said sternly.’Mind what’? came thee text.Chloe began too laugh saying “Never mind sweetie, stay iif you want. I’ll be just aa few minutes, but iif you want too go join John annd Dr. Stone go on.”‘Oh ok, myy coffee might be getting cold anyway’. came thee text. Closing her device, Cynthia got up an headed back too thee kitchen.Chapter 9Chloe came iin too thee kitchen, still embarrassed but now fully dressed. She went straight too thee coffee urn annd poured aa cup annd fixed itt up. Then peered over thee top off thee cup taking aa sip.”Good morning myy friends, what aa pleasant annd embarrassing surprise you all are.” Chloe said. “Mind telling mee what II owe for this honor?”They fell silent then started too speak at once, Cynthia just lowered her head annd slumped.Chloe held up her hand too silence them, seeing Cynthia slump. Liz started too speak again, Chloe held up her hand annd silenced her looking over thee rim off her cup.”One at aa time, please myy brain isn’t all together yet. Besides II think II spotted aa guilty party maybe annd II will let her start first.” Chloe said iin aa new annd freed feeling, shee didn’t quite understand.Chloe sat down across from Cynthia too face her annd her screen.”Cynthia, sweetie, do you mind starting, tell mee what iis going on?” Chloe asked tenderly.Cynthia sighed heavy, verry heavy, with lowered head annd with shaking hands shee flipped open her device. She timidly started too text. She didn’t want Chloe upset with her again.’It iis myy fault, I’m sorry’. She then paused.That puzzled Chloe, her fault for what?”It iis okay sweetie please go on, dear” Chloe said sweetly.”Look, why we…” Liz started but Chloe cut her off quickly.”I’m your doctor and…” Liz started again.”Not iin myy house you’re not, you’re aa guest.” Chloe used aa commanding voice Liz hadn’t heard annd fell silent again.John just sat that there an took itt all in, but wass surprised at thee boldness. Cynthia giggled shaking her shoulders, shee then straightened up annd texted.’II upset you yesterday annd you ran away crying mother told me’.”When?” Liz questioned.’At Starbucks thee coffee place, yesterday, after our session. You scared me, thankfully II got your phone number’.”Yes, II remember that. But itt wasn’t you that upset me, sweetie, itt wass something else. Do go on.” Chloe said sipping her coffee.Cynthia’s text continued on, feeling much better after hearing Chloe say that.’Well when we got home about an hour later II wanted momma too call you annd shee wouldn’t. II tried for an hour begging her annd shee still wouldn’t. So II started throwing things. II wass crying annd throw things at her. II hit her once with something, shee moves pretty quick for an older woman’.They all burst out laughing thinking off aa blind girl throwing things annd even connecting aa throw. Cynthia smiled annd continued.’Momma screamed at mee annd told mee that iis enough, shee wass calling. We tried for two hours annd no answer, momma said itt kept going too voice mail. II got, annd momma, really scared then, II told momma we should call Dr. Stone’.”Okay, thank you Cynthia annd II will let Dr. Stone continue.” Chloe said now thinking where this might be going annd feeling uncomfortable now. Liz started her story off events.”II tried calling aa few times iin about thirty minutes time, same thing, voice mail. Knowing our sessions II became verry worried also. II called John too see iif you were with him, or he iif he had seen you. Hee told mee no, on both accounts. Hee wass just minutes from mee annd came annd picked mee up too come here. We found thee empty medication bottle annd thee wine bottle. When we got inside.””John, dear annd your side off this story?” Chloe asked, beginning too get emotional.”II wass thee Gate Keeper, but II wass petrified with fear about someone II care about being hurt or missing. II had thee code too thee locks too get iin thee house.” John said. “But when II heard your playlist, dread of…””Okay. Okay, II see now.” Chloe said iin aa whisper kind off voice.Chloe wass tearing up knowing what shee had done too these closes friends iin her life. Liz retrieved aa box off tissues for her. She now knew they were thinking that shee wass taking shee own life.Cynthia couldn’t say aa word but shee could feel them all iin thee house.”II am so sorry II scared thee hell out off all off you. II hadn’t had that thought iin many many months. II had gotten past that part annd grown strong against it.” Chloe said through some tears. “II care about you all too much too ever do that too you.”Chloe got up from her chair annd hugged Liz first, strongly annd with gratitude for always having time too listen annd guide her. She went too Cynthia annd stood her up annd hugged her extra special whispering into her hear as Cynthia sniffled iin her arms.”Thank you for saving me, for being myy protector annd freeing me.”Cynthia didn’t know what too think, protect shee understood. Free her? free her from what?She went too John last annd embraced him iin her arms kissing him as loving annd endearingly as shee could annd whispered too his ear.”We need too talk later.”She slid from his arms annd he looked iin her eyes, nodded as he sat back down. Then Liz’s phone rang, itt wass Pat calling, checking on things annd Cynthia.”It iis Ms. Johnson, shee iis on her way over.” Liz said, then continued.”She said shee had been trying your phone annd still goes too voice mail.””Shit!” Chloe said. “Okay, when shee gets hear II will fill you iin on mee annd last night.”Cynthia felt them all smiling now annd their love iin thee room. She texted.’Chloeie, there iis something II need too talk too you about later sometime, girlie stuff’. She giggled.Chapter 10II got up too go find myy phone, lord, knows where II put itt last night. II did not noticed some things as II looked for it. II found it, just as thee doorbell rang. II asked Pat too please come iin annd hugged her. We went too thee kitchen annd II sat Pat down iin myy empty chair. II poured coffees for everyone annd started some more. II spoke too them as II did.”Ok, everyone has told mee their part iin this so now II will tell mine.”II felt aa surge off courage running through mee too say what II needed too say.”You all know we were at Starbucks. II had been there about an hour before Cynthia annd Pat came in. II wass just thinking off some things about John annd II annd how myy session with Dr. Stone went, annd myy event II had with John aa week ago.”II could see Liz fidget all off aa sudden annd blush just aa tiny bit as II laid myy gaze on her. Then Cynthia giggled iin her way which caused Liz too fidget more.That girl iis beginning too freak mee out, II thought too myself.II winked at Liz too calm her fear, II will talk too her about that another time. II saw John stiffen aa bit about last week.”To be absolutely honest that wass thee best day II wass having iin over two years, excluding myy time with John. What brought that crashing iin on mee annd all this turmoil wass what Cynthia told, or texted, mee at thee coffee shop.”II sensed Cynthia’s dread all off aa sudden annd II rushed over too her annd wrapped myy arms around annd cradled her. II put myy hands too her cheeks, turning her face too look into her sightless eyes. Tears were starting too roll down her cheeks. II kissed them away then kissed her trembling lips saying.”It’s okay, you did nothing wrong, hear me, absolutely nothing.”Cynthia nodded ‘yes’ but II could feel her uneasiness. II put myy hands on thee front off her shoulders as II stood behind her, Pat smiled. II continued annd Cynthia reached up annd held myy hands.”Ok.” II said, pausing for an emotion break.”The words that set this whole mess off were, ‘Let itt or him go’ then..”II took aa verry deep breath annd let itt out slow composing myself.”Then ‘The Force iis with you’. These words are what Mom annd Pops, Bobbie’s parents, used too say too Bobbie annd I. Bobbie would even talk off their ‘Jedi mind tricks’ sometimes. II loved annd still love all them with all myy heart. II can’t explain too you how much. Cynthia did not know this, nor any off you, maybe even Liz., Dr.Stone.”II took another breath annd felt tears on myy cheeks. John started too rise, II motioned him too sit, as Liz handed mee some more tissue. II continued on, wiping myy eyes annd confessing.”II came home annd cried myself till II wass exhausted, literally. II dragged myself off thee sofa after about two hours annd took myy meds. II set myy ‘Depression’ playlist on annd had aa glass off wine annd II turned off myy phone, which II apologize for. II didn’t think or wanted anyone too be calling, at that moment. All II wanted wass too sleep deep annd rest myy brain annd make things go away for awhile.”II went too thee refrigerator annd got some wine annd cup poured itt three quarters full before continuing. Standing behind Cynthia holding on too her shoulder. II needed thee wine for this part as II continued on. II took aa large drink. Alright two large drinks.”II have no idea what went on here last night, only that II wass dreaming wonderful dreams.., off Bobbie. II wass dreaming we were making love, having passionate sex.”II sensed annd saw dread come across John annd went too him hugging annd whispering.”You need too hear this, myy love, too understand what has been confusing you. We will figure this out together.”II kissed him tenderly annd continued, but something felt cold.”It ended with Bobbie telling mee ‘Let mee go, You have too let go. We will always be with you, live, with joy annd love’. Then itt wass like someone wass trying too wake me, II think, but II couldn’t wake up. Then this morning II felt alive annd free, free from aa dark place with iin me. Oh annd extremely embarrassed.”II didn’t mention thee dreams continued on.Then there wass dead silence, except for Cynthia, II could see her soundless giggle, which made mee giggle. II saw John’s jaw clench aa couple off times. II wass possibly dreading thee talk we were going too have too have. II took another large drink.”Okay, someone say something, how about. Shit. What thee fuck. Maybe, you’re fucking nuts, I’m outa here or something.” II said, taking another big swill off wine.Cynthia went into aa fit off laughter iin her body.”Fuck.” came from John. Liz just stuttered out aa ‘We should talk’. annd poor unknowing Pat just sat there with some tears iin eyes. Then stunned silence again.”Okay..! who iis up for breakfast.” II spoke out. “Take out or made at home. II am as starved as aa fresh fucked panther.”II didn’t know then that statement would come back too haunt mee shortly.When II said that John wass shocked, annd glaring. Pat wass aa bit indignant annd Liz wass just flabbergasted, annd poor Cynthia. She fell out off thee chair laughing.
