I skipped class. Oh, I’m sure to some of you that may not seem like much but for me when I put my hand on that push bar and went out the back door o... the school, to walk across the back parking lot and off into the surrounding neighborhood? It was an act of defiance. My very first in fact… but not my last. Oh, no. Not my last by far. I spent the day in a music store. Probably one of the last of it’s type in the world these days. The little store sat about a mile from my school. Standing firm in. Finally he calmed down enough and remembered a case he had in New Jersey. A private eye on trial on a trumped up charge because he had collared a local judges son for selling dope to school kids. Mark had gotten him off and he told Mark any time he could be of help to call on him. Mark had his number in his computer, he looked it up and called. He was sent to a voice mailbox. He left his name and number and hung up, went back to pacing. It was only a few minutes when his phone rang, it was. She was clearly trying to decide what to say and how to say it. I wasn’t going to rush her because I couldn’t imagine anything she could tell me that would destroy my love for her.She sighed, “Melanie wasn’t the first girl I had sex with.”I burst out laughing. I couldn’t help it. Jennifer had a horribly shocked look on her face.“Jennifer Lynn Block! As if you had to hide that from me. You know I don’t care about that. Well, unless you like girls better than guys.” I held back a chuckle with a. Open your mouth. I was reluctant. The last time I was given water, I was drugged. He saw my worry and reassured me there was nothing in it. I opened my mouth and he slowly poured some water in my mouth, giving me enough time to swallow before pouring more in. After, he turned his attention to the plate of food he brought. It had crackers with cheese and what looked like sliced kielbasa. He fed some of it to me. I definitely felt more relaxed after. Why? I asked. Why to what? Sean looked.
