So I need an outlet, and you
are it oh vast cyberspace. Why, do I need such an outlet? Well, let's just say
I find myself in a hell of a mess and those people I usually talk to. I can't.
I have a secret. Something only one other person knows, and that is because he
was there.
I would assume you are now
shaking your head, wondering, "what the hell am I reading?" Well, I
can tell you if you have come to witness a horror story in the making you have
come to the right place!
Am I overly dramatic?
Definitely!
Do I care? Not really. Well, yes
and no.
The truth is...I have silently
begged the heavens to grant me this one little wish. I just wanted to see him
again. I wanted to know for sure that it wasn't a beautiful dream. That his
eyes are a deep blue. His embrace is warm and encompassing. Then...there he was.
I couldn't believe it. The experience
of seeing Eric again couldn't have been more awful. I was exhausted and reeling
from a horrid day filled with decomposing teddy bears and drowned rats (don't
ask).
Okay fine, if you MUST know,
someone has taken an interest in me. Don't panic! I have spoken to the police. Detective
Lugow (if you saw him, you would know his name describes his looks
perfectly!)stated he is all over it. I didn't want to go see him at all, but
Charlie insisted, and I did promise him I would talk to the police if things
got 'weird.' I will admit we have reached that point.
I finished with Detective Lugow,
and I just wanted to go home and sleep. I had to review and sign my statement.
Once that was done, I grabbed my jacket and headed out to the waiting area. I
took a few steps and saw him. He looked as shocked as I felt, and I wanted to
crumble. It took everything in me to not just completely let go...
I think my brain froze. I could
not move from the place I had stopped. My feet were glued to the floor. Just as
I am about to lose it, Charlie walks up beside me and says...this is my
brother, Eric.
His brother, Eric.
Charlie's brother.
Eric.
I still can't say it aloud, it
is too much to comprehend. How could this have happened? Oh my God, this
man...the image that has gotten me through the past few awful weeks... he is
Charlie's brother...and I don't know what to do!
Neither of us has spoken a word
of it to anyone. I am trying to forget. To push it out of my mind. It was one
night. It shouldn't mean anything. The problem is, it does, and I don't know
how to undo that...
So Mr. or Mrs. Cyberspace,
whichever you are, you are my new best friend. As long and this secret remains
a secret, you are the only one I can talk to. If you have any pull with the
powers that be, tell them to cut me a break, okay? A girl can only take so
much.
Until next time,
