Chapter 12 -- The "Trial"
Once home, we hang up coats, some change into more comfortable clothes, and we move to the large living room. It is dominated by a large stone fireplace. Two U shaped sectional couches are facing each other. Each sectional has a wooden coffee table in the center for drinks. Along the outside is a series of small tables and chairs.
Small groups can play bridge or board games with children. I have a closet full of children's games, cards, and poker chips. The room has two large chairs, which are placed between sections on the outer most side. I am in one chair, and Jenny is in another. The other girls are evenly split between each sectional. I allow them all a glass of an excellent white wine I have.
Connie starts the interrogation, "Steve, please explain your childhood and how it affects you now."
I tell the story of the false accusation and the pain it has and still causes me. I also touched on how it started my distrust of women.
Patty asks, "Please tell us about your past lovers, what happened, and your sexual experiences with all."
I am annoyed at the question, "I will not discuss any past or future sexual encounters. That's too personal to me and invades the privacy of the other individual." I explain about my past girlfriends and how each stuck me with a knife and then twisted it to hurt even more.
Michelle asks, "Why did you help us? We're all women."
I explain about how I help the park service and look for groups in trouble like the girls. I really did not want to help them, but I had to. I planned to move along after I helped, but I realized that one of the girls was my sister. That made a big difference.
Penny asks, "Would you have left us?"
I reply shyly, "If you had demonstrated that you had some basic competency, In a heartbeat. But you quickly failed, so my own standards forced me to stay. Had you kicked me out, I would have shadowed you. Having Phoebe there made things a lot easier."
Beth asks, "You mentioned to me something about psychology and trauma. Can you explain that better?"
I smile at her, "I did go to college a while ago. 4.0 average. I took a psychology class. Going from memory here, so please forgive me. When two or more people experience a life-threatening or altering event together, they form a bond. You have strong feelings towards each other. They warn people against making relationships based on a single event and not mutual interests, which are better building blocks for a successful and lasting relationship.
"We all qualify for life-threatening, while Jenny and I added life-altering, followed by me adding life-threatening again."
A collective, "WHAT!" was shouted.
Now shy again, "Um yeah, I got beat up on the beach that night, broke six ribs. The security men found me in a pool of blood."
Jenny and Phoebe collectively shout out, "What!"
Irritated at the interruption, "Yeah, they life-flighted me out, I spent the better part of a day in the ER and surgery. I wake up in a New York Hospital." Jenny and Phoebe are crying hysterically. "Two weeks in the hospital, four weeks in bed, two weeks stuck in the house, and then off to hunt killer sharks off the reef of Australia," I said that last part like a Pirate.
Michelle asks Jenny, "Why are you crying?"
Jenny still has tears running down her face, "Phoebe and I go back to our room, and Steve doesn't follow us. We get worried, Phoebe goes out looking for him. She says she found him sleeping on the beach. We never saw him again. We thought he abandoned us there. That's why we had to beg you all for money, we didn't have enough on our credit cards to pay for tickets home."
Beth knowingly asks Phoebe, "Phoebe baby, why are you crying still?"
I gave Beth the death gaze, I wanted to spare Phoebe this embarrassment.
Phoebe is still sobbing, eyes down, when she starts, "It was me. I found Steve sleeping under an umbrella. I was furious at him. I kicked him and kicked him and kicked him some more. It felt good. I didn't know I hurt him, and we had no idea what the helicopter was for. I was mad for the way he hurt Jenny."
You know the next question already.
Samantha looks shocked, "Steve, what did you do to poor Jenny?"
Shit, how do I explain this?
I am mortified, "Understand, we're on a sex island for BSDM, so I can beat the hell out of my mother. Phoebe and Jenny were stow-a-ways with the pilot. They surprised me mid-flight as I am trying to take my anger out on my mother. Wednesday, I take mom to an orgy, and we watch. Neither of us participated. We get back, and mom asks about me. All that incredible sex, and it doesn't faze me. It killed mom. Jenny takes me out with me as her slave and has me fuck a woman. The next day she and Phoebe switch positions; Jenny is the slave.
"Jenny asks me if it's ok to fuck other men." There is a collective gasp. "I agree, but it broke my heart. I left the bedroom for the living room. I hear them talking still, so I left and went for a walk. I end up sleeping on the beach. You know how that went."
The group started speaking over each other, discussing the issue. I hear, "He did say yes," "He's so childish," "with his history, what did you expect," "grow up, be a man." I had enough of this. As they are arguing, I get up, walk into the kitchen and look for dessert. Sara has a plate and forks out for me and a glass of milk.
Sara looks at me protectively, "Sometimes you're just like a child, you're predictable in your actions, yet pure of heart. I knew they'd do this, and you would escape. I made your favorite, apple strudel."
I don't need to say thanks, she can see it in my eyes and her smile broadens. When I finish, I go back. They are still arguing. As they see me walking back, they realize I had left.
I announce, "Dessert in the kitchen if you can spare a moment in your discussion."
Pam laughs at me, "Are you kidding me, I won't need to eat for three days. Dinner was awesome."
