EPISODE 4
EPISODE 4
“Well that was a great session today everyone. I hope to see you all tomorrow.” Brian got up from the chair and made his way to the man.
“Hey I was wondering if Liam came to sessions yesterday?” The man looked at Brian.
“No he didn’t Brian. Actually he hasn’t come since two days before Christmas. I hope he’s okay.” Brian began to worry.
“Okay thank you. I’ll see you tomorrow.” Brian ran out of the room and into the hallway. He pulled out his cell phone.
“Hey honey.” Kimberly answered the phone.
“Hey baby listen I wont be able to go out with you today I have something that I need to do.”
“Okay can I help you?”
“Sure if you happen to see Liam anywhere which I doubt you will give me a call. I love you.”
“I love you too.” Brian hung up. Brian dialed Liam again but once again he received his voicemail. Brian ran to the nearest train station and made his way to Liam’s house.
“Baby girl please come in here.” Kimberly’s dad called to her from the kitchen. Kimberly threw her cell onto the bed and made her way to the kitchen. There stood her father looking in the fridge for something to eat.
“Yes dad?” Kimberly leaned against the wall.
“Honey I need you to go pick up some food for us.” Her father said while his head was in the fridge.
“Sure dad I don’t have anything else planned for today. So where is the cash?”
“It’s in my room in my top draw. Take $150.00.” He stood there as if something was going to miraculously appear. Kimberly made her way into her father’s room. She opened the top draw and looked through it. She came across an envelope with the words “MY SWEET BABY” written on it. She looked at it and wondered whom it was from. Not caring that much she put the envelope back into the draw and she kept searching for the cash. Finally after pushing aside all his underwear she found it. She closed the draw and made her way out the room.
“The hand writing looked familiar.” She referred back to the envelope. She made her way out the door. “I’ll be back dad.” She closed the door behind her and made her way to the bus stop.
David sat at the kitchen table waiting for his mother to come back from the bathroom. He was very worried about his dad. As he sat there waiting he thought about everything that had happened in the last couple of weeks. He began to worry about everyone.
“So baby what is that you want for lunch?” David snapped back to reality as he heard his mother’s voice.
“How about some home made burgers from scratch?” She looked at him.
“Derrick loved the way I made burgers he always told me that they were the best her ever had.” A tear began to fall down her cheek but she wiped it away quickly.
“You don’t have to make it if you don’t want to mom.”
“No honey it’s perfectly okay with me. I am moving on and I need to be able to do things that Derrick loved.” She began to unfreeze the meat.
“Didn’t dad call you and tell you he was coming home?” David asked her. She went into the fridge to get some things she needed.
“Yeah he called like two days ago.” She told him.
“Well I went yesterday to visit him and he didn’t answer.”
“Maybe he wasn’t home.” She began to cut the onions.
“I thought the same thing so I called the house. It rang and went to voicemail but the man in the message wasn’t dad.” She turned to face him.
“Maybe you just didn’t recognize the voice. Who else would be there?”
“I called his cell mom and it is cut off. What is going on?” She looked at him with a worried face.
“ I don’t know David. He called me and told me he was coming home. That’s all I can tell you cause that’s all I know.”
“Did he call from his cell?” She tried to recall what showed up on the caller ID.
“Actually he didn’t. The number was a long distance number. He must have called from where ever he was at.” She put the knife down on the counter and made her way to the phone. She picked it up and dialed his cell.
“It is cut off.” She hung up the phone. “I am worried now.” She sat next to David. They both sat there worrying.
“I just came to get the rest of my things. Kimberly is letting me stay with her till I can get my own place.” Amanda entered the house.
“We miss you Amanda.” Melinda told her. “Thomas keeps going asking for you.”
“Thomas can’t talk yet Melinda.” She walked into her room. She looked around and she felt sad. She had lived there all her life and she loved it. Then one day with one quick motion the rug was pulled form under her. Her world was different now.
“Mom keeps saying that what she did was wrong. She was drunk.”
“Listen Melinda I don’t care if she feels bad actually I’m happy she feels that way.” Amanda began to fumble through her draw and closet. She unzipped the suitcase that Kimberly leant her. She began to throw things in.
“How is Jordan doing?” Amanda stopped packing and she looked at Melinda.
“He’s doing great. I’m going to his house tonight.”
“Do you love him?” The last time she talked to Melinda about guys was when the guy she liked embarrassed her in front of her classmates by telling her that she was ugly and fat. Since then she lost so much weight and she wished that he could see her.
“I don’t think so. I really do enjoy his company.” They were actually having a conversation.
“Well I hope that you two work out you deserve to be happy.” Melinda smiled at her.
“Thank you.” She turned around and began to pack again. Melinda stood there watching here.
“Melinda honey do we have any bread?” Melinda’s mom asked her as she entered the room. She stopped and saw Amanda standing there packing. “Amanda is that you?” Amanda pushed her clothes in the suitcase so that she could close it. She zipped it back up. Totally ignoring her she picked up the suitcase and passed right by her walking out the room. She pulled the suitcase to the front door.
“Do you need help baby girl?” Amanda paused. She stood there at the door.
“Don’t you ever call me that. I’m not a baby and I’m surly not your baby.”
“I am sorry Amanda that the truth came out that way.”
“No you are not.” She was now facing her and not the door. “You didn’t care if you ruined my life and embarrassed me. You only thought about yourself once again.” She looked at Amanda.
“I told you that I had a good reason for leaving.”
“So why don’t you tell us then Holly. You at least owe that much to your real daughter.” Amanda looked at Melinda.
“Yeah mom why did you leave?” Melinda asked her. Holly turned to face Melinda.
“I can’t tell you right now that information.”
“Cause she has no good reason for leaving.”
“Yes I do. I have to ask someone if I can give out that information.”
“What are you talking about mom?” Melinda was totally confused at that point.
“Is it your long distance friend that you have to consult with? Is that why you two have been having arguments on the phone?”
“What is she talking about mom?”
“I have no idea what she’s talking about.” Holly was worried.
“Oh you don’t Holly? You don’t remember the person? Well isn’t that as shame cause it seemed that you two were close? Certain items gave me that impression. Well I have to go now so Melinda you take care and tell Thomas that I love him. And Holly remember that secrets come out I should know.” She opened the door and walked out. Holly stood there staring. She stormed off to her room. She dug in her draw and she pulled out the box. She opened it and she looked at the items. She began to cry as she looked at all the things in the box.
Brian stood in front of Liam’s door. He was about to knock when his phone rang. He took it out his pocket and he looked at the screen.
“Hey there baby. What’s up?”
“I was wondering what you were up to.”
“I’m at Liam’s door right now I was about to knock when you called.”
“Why are you over there?”
“Well I’m worried about him he hasn’t been to the meetings in the past few days and his phone has been off so I came to see if he is okay.” Kimberly was furious that he was going to see Liam and not her.
“Well call me when you’re done on your hunt for a fag.” She hung up the phone. Brian took the phone off his ear and stared at it.
“What?” Brian put the phone back in his pocket. Brian knocked on the door. Nothing. Brian knocked again but this time a little harder.
“Liam I know that you are home so open the damn door.” Brian yelled. A door opened and a baldheaded fat man with no shirt came out.
“Can you stop with the fucking noise you little brat.”
“Liam your neighbors are getting mad so I would advise you open the door.” Brian screamed again. Just then he heard a lock unlocking from inside. Liam cracked the door open so that he could see Brian.
“What do you want?”
“I want to come in we need to talk.”
“No we don’t Brian you made it clear that we are no longer friends.” Liam went to close the door when Brian pushed it open. Liam flew back a little and Brian entered the house.
“I will call the cops if you don’t get out right now.”
“Liam you know damn well you won’t so stop lying.” Brian sat on the couch and watched as Liam locked the door.
“So what is it that we need to talk about Brian?” Brian looked down at Liam’s legs and he was all cut up.
“Have you been cutting yourself again?” Brian looked at Liam’s legs and he felt bad.
“It is none of your business Brian.” Liam tried to walk past Brian but Brian grabbed his arm and pulled him down on the couch.
“We are going to fucking talk about this. I am sorry for saying that stuff to you the other day. I spoke to Amanda and she made me see that we need each other. We help each other through our problems and your scars prove it. I am so sorry.” Brian stared at Liam. Liam began to cry.
“I can’t do this Brian. I have found something in you that I have never found in anyone else. You make me feel so good about myself but that day you showed me your true self.”
“No Liam that is not me at all. You don’t know the real me at all.” Liam wiped his eyes as the tears were clouding his vision.
“I know that I love you Brian. I have never felt this way before. I can’t stand seeing you with Kimberly. I’m happy for you both but it kills me to see you kiss her and hold her and to know that you make love to her.” Liam rubbed on his legs. Brian looked down at Liam’s legs. Brian pushed Liam’s hand away and Brian began to touch the scars. He felt up and down Liam’s scarred up leg.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m trying to see how fresh they are.” Brian told Liam.
“Is this the part where you scream at me and tell me you never want to see me again?” Brian looked up at him.
“No not at all I’m here to be your friend and help you. I promise.” Liam began to cry again.
“I can’t do this Brian I love you too much. You need to leave I don’t want to see you anymore.” Liam got up from the couch and went and opened the door. “Please go Brian.” Brian got up from the couch and made his way over to the door. He stopped in front of Liam.
“Don’t do this Liam we need each other.” Liam stared into Brian’s eyes.
“I’m sorry Brian. I love you though.” Brian stared back into Liam’s eyes. Brian placed his hand under Liam’s chin and Brian kissed him. Liam’s eyes widened but after awhile they closed. Brian placed his hands on Liam’s waist. Liam placed his hands around Brian’s neck and they stood there kissing. Brian took one hand off of Liam and slammed the door shut.
“Well that was a great session today everyone. I hope to see you all tomorrow.” Brian got up from the chair and made his way to the man.
“Hey I was wondering if Liam came to sessions yesterday?” The man looked at Brian.
“No he didn’t Brian. Actually he hasn’t come since two days before Christmas. I hope he’s okay.” Brian began to worry.
“Okay thank you. I’ll see you tomorrow.” Brian ran out of the room and into the hallway. He pulled out his cell phone.
