Jared was looking down the hall at Ryder who was flipping up girls skirts, Elijah said, “See he is trash”.
Hand on her hip, said, “You are right, because he is three years older than you and if you got broken bones it would be my fault”.
Thirty minutes later, in the principal’s office sat Elijah with a busted lip and right across from him was Ryder with appeared to be a broken nose and two black eyes. The principle told Ryder to go to the nurse’s office, as he was very bloody. Elijah just hung his head and she was writing up a suspended blue slip, as he put his hand to his head when his dad Shawn walked in and gave him an angry look, Elijah took a deep gulp sag low on the chair.
Walking in the door right behind, Ryder’s dad Max, as he and Shawn both looked at each other fast.
The principle said, “Mr. Wiley you can take your boy home and he will not return for three days”, as Max just now stared Shawn down.
Shawn couldn’t help to notice Max’s serious eye problem now and told Elijah, “Let’s go boy”, and Max asked, “You beat up my boy breaking his nose?”
“Guilty”, and he and his dad walked out.
Leaving Max boiling with fury inside he mumbled, “Wiley’s are all alike”, and thought, they are all going to pay dearly even their no good filthy kids will see hell. A few days later, Elijah had returned to school and was warned by his dad, stay away from that kid Ryder.
While another dad gave rather different advice as Max told Ryder rock that boy’s world. Meanwhile.
Brenda and Danny Ray had finally got a chance to go visit Shane as it had been almost two weeks now.
Both sat waiting for Shane to come out on the other side of the long window. Danny Ray kept looking at many inmates and Brenda was nervously playing with her locket when the side door opens Shane comes out.
Immediately, going to a chair sitting down in front of his mother and uncle, he picked up the phone.
Teary eyed, “How are you boy?” Holding the phone nervous.
Giving a head nod, he replied, “I’ll survive”.
“Yes and you’ll be home soon”.
Tears filling his eyes, asked, “How’s Tara handling the news that I hurt a girl?” No reply and asking again, “Maw how is Tara?”
Hands trembled holding the phone Brenda was speechless and Shane said, “Aw don’t doubt a girl I searched my whole life for will divorce me now”. At that moment, Brenda dropped the phone crying, as Danny Ray took the phone and Shane asked, “What she is getting better right maw, Uncle Danny Ray?” Looking at Shane felt bad Brenda took a deep steady breath mumbling, “Oh god how do we tell him”.
Looked at him teary eyed, Danny Ray said, “Aw Shane boy, I am truly sorry Tara has passed”, and Brenda bowed her head crying out, “Oh Shane”.
Hung the phone up, blankly stared and Danny Ray on the phone still said, “It is hard boy, lord knows, but try to remain strong, you have four kids”.
Poker-face, Shane just stares and Danny Ray added, “Shane come on it will be okay”, and lifting her head now Brenda looked at him frozen actually. Quickly, picking the phone back up, Shane said, “Strong, I sure was huh, because I couldn’t even protect my wife they tortured with me right there, a helpless wimp!” Brenda cried her heaviest as Danny Ray hung his head and said, “That’s not true, the strongest you honestly are, what you endured Shane”.
“My wife died, because I wasn’t strong enough to protect her”, sobbing. “Oh Shane, that’s not true, you are very strong!”
Hung their head very sad, feeling sorry for Shane.
Jumped off the chairs when Shane’s chair hit powerful against the window. Upset, Brenda stood screaming, “SHANE NO!” Tears rolling watching her heartbroken son lose control.
Flipped out and Brenda and Danny Ray both stood helpless at that moment. Watching Shane screaming out, “Little darling”, repeatedly, went raging wild.
Completely lost it and he even lunged knocking two other inmates right off their chairs as they sat talking to visitors.
Stood behind the glass window with her hands to her face crying as she watched Shane punch one guy repeatedly for no reason.
Blood squirted and Danny Ray shouted, “SHANE STOP!”
On the other end of the window, trembled and felt ill, saw her son beat that guy to a pulp with his uncle screaming, “STOP SHANE!”
Would not, swinging his fists lightning fast, cried out, “Tara I love you”, repeatedly. Looking around Danny Ray wondered where the darn guards are.
What happen next would actually make Brenda crumble to her knees after a few more heart wrenching minutes.
Shane at that point just wanted to die joining the love of his life and started banging his head against the brick wall repeatedly, watching Danny Ray yelling for the guards that were certainly not around or in site.
Pressed her hand against the window in tears pouring, cries out, “Shane son please stop!”
“Mama knows your suffering and I cannot help!”
Hand pressed firmly against the window, cried saying, “I cannot just kiss the boo-boo making your pain go away baby!”
“Please just stop!” Watching her devastated son banged his head against the cement wall, and trembles.
Banged his head harder into the wall and Brenda with Danny Ray were both screaming, “SOMEONE HELP!”
Finally two guards come running in and had a struggle with Shane and Brenda jumped back fast as a guard flew against the window smearing blood all over? Danny Ray stood in tears watching the guards get aggressive with Shane and finally handcuffed him.
Brenda stood by the window crying and as the guards turned to take Shane away he turned looking at his mother with blood pouring down his face instead of tears.
Crumbling down to the floor on her knees crying her hardest, yelling, “SHANE!” “NO”. Kneeling on the floor Danny Ray standing above her mumbling, “I’m so sorry for your loss”,
“Mama loves you so much!” Rocking squeezing her purse crying out, “OH MY GOD!”
“WHY?”
“Oh Shane I feel so bad for you”.
“Why Lord?” Hanging her head, purse snug against chest.
Chapter 2.
Danny Ray stood above Brenda devastated and her stomach had been doing flips of what she just witnessed that Shane wanted to die.
On her knees realizing how tragic Tara’s loss was started heaving and Danny Ray quickly grabbed her up, led her to the restrooms.
Where Brenda went in fast vomiting and got up, went washing her face when suddenly pounding on the door yelling, “OH GOD BRENDA HURRY!” Heard Danny Ray?
Twenty minutes later, sat in the hospital waiting room awaiting word on Shane now. Destroyed over losing Tara, that on his way back to the cell, somehow managed to get hold of the guard’s gun removing handcuffs.
Struggling, Shane did fire doing what he attempted too, committing suicide wanted to join Tara, could not face the fact she died and now he wanted to.
Danny Ray sat right next to Brenda looking at her three boys with Rodney sitting right ahead on the chairs and all hung their heads.
Within the hour a doctor comes out telling the Wiley’s that Shane would recover, as the bullet just grazed his shoulder.
In shock Brenda felt numb, as it has been nonstop heartache, losing her husband, maybe Sebastian now Shane.
The family relieved, but also feared Shane would try again and maybe succeed. Added to them, that Shane will go under psychiatric care due to a suicide attempt. A police officer that was on guard outside of Shane’s room informed them that when Shane returns to the correction institute will remain on suicide watch until they see improvement and no need further.
Although when Shane returned to his cell all he done was lay sobbing out, “I do not deserve to live, I hurt that girl very wrong”.
Put his hands over his face saying, “Lord what have I done, I sinned!” “Punish me!”
“Strike this sinner down!”
“Oh Tara I cheated o
n you!”
“Worse, I raped a girl”.
Sobbing hysterically, “How could I have done that to her”.
“Those bastards look what they made me do”.
“Hurt a girl”, rolling over on his side, gripping the pillow sobbing out, and “I’m so sorry for hurting you girl”.
Rolled on the cot crying out, “Sebastian I need you”.
“Don’t you leave me too?”
Noticing, the guards now put Shane on high suicide risk and kept a closer eye after over hearing him.
Sadly a week pass.
A true miracle come their family’s way finally, when Sebastian woke up and was talking up a storm.
The Wiley’s receiving the wonderful news literally jumped for joy as now there are happy tears with many hugs and even giving a high five smiling.
Furthermore, Shane informed of his brother that pulled through, lay on the cot mumbling, “Thank you lord”.
Later on such a happy day, at the hospital, Surround Sebastian sitting up on the bed, many hugs even a high five, and sat on the bed rubbing her son’s hand talking. Become very sad when told of what has happen to Shane and even more of his paw passing away.
Wiping tears rolling from his only eye now, asked about the rest of the family and daughter Kayla?
Told all are fine then asked about his wife Mandy when heads all bowed. “What y’all?” Looking at his brothers and uncle.
Bowing her head, said, “Oh no need to get upset son, not now, you been through a lot”, patted his hand.
Looking at his mother with one eye, the removed eye wearing a patch and he is not really aware of yet.
“No maw, do not play games tell me?”
Pitying expression, Brenda said, “Divorce papers come yesterday, I’m sorry Sebastian”. Quiet with his family looking at him, as he looked completely different, did not look like Sebastian said, “I figured Mandy would, heck was not a secret how we did not mix, huh”. The whole family agreed, reassuring him life goes on and stayed nearly three hours and ready to leave.
Brenda would not stop hugging him and kissing his face all over saying, “Oh mama’s baby!”
Sebastian kept smiling and his brothers did too telling him, “Bye”,
“Later”,
“Yeah see y’all”, the four walking out, and stood watching Brenda not letting go, Danny Ray said, “Aw lord Brenda, want me to bring a suitcase you can camp out”.
Waving her hand saying, “Oh hush”. Hugging Sebastian and said, “Okay rest and please eat”, and smiled saying, “Do not worry, I am okay maw”.
Hand placed against her heart saying, “Yes you are, thank the lord”.
Blew him a kiss, laughed saying, “Got it maw”, and Brenda walked out, he lay back down.
Making it back home, walking into the apartment, saw Ella sitting on the blue sofa and went sitting down on the matching love seat Saul said,
“Ella you cannot even tell its Sebastian except by his voice”, eyes large listening. “Whoever they were did a rough number on my little brother, because my own brother almost scared me”. Hanging his head fiddles with his fingers added, “It’s so sad what they did to him”.
Got up from the sofa walking away tears rolling, “Hey you okay Ella?” Hand up, back towards him, replies, “Yes, I’m fine, want to take a bath”.
Few minutes later, sitting in the bubble bath lay her head back against the back of the bathtub, drifting back into time a magical moment and her first time. Sitting by a tree staring onto the lake and fishing on the other side Sebastian noticed Ella, set pole down, running over to her.
“Ella girl?” Looking down noticing her sadness.
Rose her head up in tears flowing and knelt down to her with his hands folded, as she sobbed.
Reached one hand placing it onto her petite shoulder said, “Aw come on, dry those tears girl”.
Keeping her head down said, “I cannot, I’m very hurt”.
Looking at her all over asked, “Where at Ella or who hurt you, I’ll ring their neck”. “You will ring Saul’s neck?”
Grinned saying, “Guess if I have to, huh”, cracked a slight smile.
“Aw see Ella a smile is much better than hurting”.
“Yes guess it is”.
Looking at each other and said, “Aw I’m fishing, care to grab a rod and help me nail a few?”
Wiping her tears off, replied, “Well I never fished or had much interest”. “Oh, okay that’s cool”. Looking down onto the ground.
“I wouldn’t mind keeping you company or trying something new”, smirked lifting his head.
“With your help of course showing me what to do”. “You got a deal girl, come on”.
Reaching his hand out to her and looking up at his gorgeous face, Ella reached up taking hold of his hand that gripped onto hers tightly and pulled her up fast.
Basically lifted her up from the ground, close against him and he said, “Let’s fish Ella girl?”
Walked over to the lake and immediately handed her a fishing pole.
Knelt down grabbing a worm out of a pail and shrugged saying, “Yuck”, and laughing out, “Aw they don’t bite”.
“No but slimy, icky, keep it far away”.
Mischievous, waved the worm close to her jumping back screaming, “Ew!” Hands up said, “Stop Sebastian their grouse”, and laughing heavy.
Setting the pole up for her and actually stood close behind her showing her how to throw the fishing rod out into the water or swing.
Even took hold of Ella’s arm a few times and guiding her, as she smiled throwing the line in and smirking he said, “Not bad huh”. Felt his breath on her neck.
Within a few minutes only, Ella actually caught a bite and struggled with the jerking pole, Sebastian reeled it in for her.
Holding the pole with a dangling fish, said, “Wow you caught one girl”, got so excited jumping up and down said, “Guess fishing is rather fun Sebastian”.
Knelt taking the bluegrass fish off the hook and she now said, “Yuck!”
Looking up at her asked, “Hey, thought you just told me fishing was fun”, pointing down at the squirming fish Ella replied, “Catching one was, but not watching you gut it”.
One hour later, were done fishing and caught quite a few perch to.
Sat on the grass eating lunch that he had packed and eating her turkey sandwich, said, “Wow amazing, because you fear nothing Sebastian”.
Smirked saying, “Why should you”.
Taking another bite, and he said, “Pain is only in the mind not surface with me, it only hurts if you allow it to, I don’t”.
“So you’re telling me you don’t get scared?” “Of what?” Taking a big bite of his sandwich.
Sipping a drink from a can of soda, she said, “I beg to differ, because you mean if someone had a gun to your head”. “Aw they better pull the trigger”. Opening a can of soda.
“My, you are very different”.
“Yeah how?”
Staring at Sebastian, she said, “Such courage it’s like you have steel of armor surrounding you”.
“Aw, I’m far from a knight-in-shining-armor, maybe the villain”, and giggled, he winked, now blushes.
Eating some potato chips, Ella said, “Well you seem pretty close to both”. “Thanks for the cool complement Ella girl”.
Suddenly, jumping up Sebastian said, “Aw, I got another catch”, and she looked over at his fishing pole jerking around and he hurried over there to reel it in.
Sitting there Ella mumbles, “Bet he’d get startled”.
After removing another fish, Sebastian comes back sitting down and Ella holding her sandwich pointed saying, “Aren’t you going to finish your lunch?”
“Yeah was about to”, and taking a bite made a squinting face.
Rolled on the grass laughing watching Sebastian pull a slimy worm out from his mouth and she shrugged laughing out, “Ew”,
“Yuck!”
Holding the worm, said, �
��Aw that was real sneaky there girl, guess funny to you, huh”. “Yes, should have seen your face”.
“Really, guess Ella likes sudden surprises of the unknown, huh”.
“Not really”, and dangled the worm in front of his mouth, eyes huge said, “Oh no you wouldn’t, that’s just crazy”.
Put the slimy worm in his mouth, took a deep gulp, squinting and swallowed it and rose her hands to her face stunned and said, “You did not, it’s a joke to scare me, right Sebastian”.
Took a huge drink of soda and she asked, “You did eat a worm?”
“Sure did, mighty tasty” and looking at him, she said, “You are different”. “Why, because I ate a worm, big deal”.
Completely at a loss for words, until he grabbed another worm telling her your turn as she leans back he tackled her easily onto the grass with her screaming and him putting a worm into her face.
“No Sebastian get it away from me”. Covering her face.
Pulling her hands away saying, “Eat it girl”, and laughing.
“No stop”, hands close to his face and dangling the worm in front of her begging him to stop, smirks tossing it aside, “Oh thank goodness”.
“Ah scared you Ella”. Rose pale eyebrow high.
“Yes you did”. Hand against chest.
Laughs out, “I should have ate it, let me get another”, crawling across the grass with her tugging at the back of his t-shirt saying, “Would you stop”.
“Found another worm”, flashing it in front of Ella’s face, screaming, “Get it away from me”.
Cracking up laughing, stuck the worm partially in his mouth, covers her eyes when he pinned her down on the grass and lay over her dangling the worm between his teeth in front of her face, begging, “Stop Sebastian!” Swinging the worm between his teeth.
After a few minutes of Sebastian scaring Ella with a worm, are sitting with her looking at him and said, “Please no more you made your point how different you are”. “I do not lie, I fear nothing told you”.
Thought, I bet I could startle him and I will prove it, when Sebastian went cleaning off the pail of fish they caught, she snuck off.
