“No, Angel. That’s not what I’m doing,” she said, but I think my thought was written on my face this time even when I had robotic mask on she continued. “Human psychology is a strange thing, Angel. The things we’ve been through put marks on our minds, good or bad. They shape your life because they have a power over us. Here, I’m trying to understand the marks on your mind so you can live your life without problems.”
“How to live my life without problems? Without him, you mean?”My voice cracked at the end.
She placed the pen in front of her and put her hands on the table, close enough for me to hold if I wanted. “Yes, Angel. I want to help you to live your life without him after everything you’ve been through. I know it won’t be easy, I know you have a connection with him, but I want what is healthy for you.”
“You’re making decisions for me. You’re deciding what is good for me.”
“No, Angel. I’m just trying to understand you and help you to see what is good for you. But at the end everything is up to you. You’ll decide how to live your life and I’ll be just the help in the background.” Her voice was sincere and confident. I considered of believing her.
“Now it is still your decision, Angel. Will you let me understand you? Will you let me help you to carry the weight on your shoulders?” she asked after a few minutes of silence.
I turned to look outside again. A blue bird stopped in front of the window and hit its beak to the glass, putting a small smile on my face. When I talked the smile was still in place.
“Okay… help me how to live my life after all this.”
MIKE – Age 18: Hello, father
First, they laugh… the police officers. They think a piece of shit like me cannot be the son of the senator.
Tell me about it, I snort.
Finally, they call him. They don’t have another choice since it is the only thing I’ve said them since they brought me in here.
A police officer tells the situation to Henry’s secretary I assume and when he gets the Henry Harrison onto the line, he hands me the phone.
“Hello, father.”
“Who are you?” he whispers. His tension is palpable even through the line.
“Your son, father. Remember Natalie? The prostitute you fucked even when she was underage? Ring any bell?”
I chuckle as all the police officers look at each other with the same shocked expression on their faces. Like father like son, you see guys, I think to myself.
“Stop talking. Stop! What did you do?”
“I fucked her and I killed her… I’m not sure if that’s the right order, though. Somewhere along the way things might have mixed up a little, you know?”
“You son of a-”
“Son of a bitch? Yeah, I know… literally. Oh but you don’t know…she is not my real mother. They fucked you up for years.” I chuckle.
“How do you feel about all this, father? I’m sure you had fun as fucking two women at the same time, yeah? But you liked the young one more, didn’t you? The taste of forbidden… a young pussy for you to fuck in exchange of a few banknotes?”
“Shut up!”
“How about my real mother, Daddy? Have you ever thought about the woman who killed herself because she loved an asshole like you?”
“Shut the fuck up! Stop talking, you hear me? You won’t talk about me, understood? You won’t say another word about me and I’ll take care of your situation. You won’t go to prison, but shut your damn mouth. Did you understand me?” he barks.
“Yes, father.” I smirk to the line with satisfaction.
*****
It only took a few hours for Henry Harrison to come to the police office with full secrecy, of course. Everyone in the building has been forced to sign an NDA about the whole thing. My name in the records hasn’t been deleted, but it’s been put on the top secret category which is just as good.
A professional psychiatrist has been brought within minutes and the verdict of my mental health hasn’t taken longer than seconds to be announced. The car –a black SUV with tilted windows- has been already waiting outside to
take me into a madhouse.
