The girls family wanted her daughter to spend time with them in TN. Now, her step-mother and little brother were coming to get her.
The girl was in a panic. She was afraid someone would end up getting hurt. She didn't want her family hurt. She needed to get away but she didn't know how. She couldn't tell them because she knew that Ed would be right there watching everyone. She wondered if she could signal somehow. No. That would be too risky. Her only hope was that her step-mother might sense the situation and come back with help and get her out of there. The girl's fear was that her step-mother would be hurt. That his anger would be aroused because of her. Unexpectedly, it ended up being her brother that caused him to become angry.
The exchange was very quick. They came in and got the baby and her things and were ready to leave. The girl had missed her brother so much and her heart was just swelling with love for him. Ed noticed.
They turned to leave and said goodbye. The girl raced upstairs to watch them leave hoping that they weren't really going to leave her there.
She looked out the window. She heard Ed come into the room.
"You wanted to sleep with him didn't you?", he said between gritted teeth.
The girl looked puzzled.
"Who?"
"Your brother!!!!!"
(He was only 13 years old!!)
The girl took a quick look out the window as their car slowly backed up out of the parking lot as Ed's hands slammed against her ears. She dropped like a sack of potatoes.
The girl didn't notice that her ears were bruised. But at work....her co-workers did.
