Two Ordinary Slobs Episode 7
Rob and Anna finished up an uneventful day,
a seat belt violation and a jay walking ticket
were the only things they had to show, ok, ok
there was no jay walking ticket, though in a time
gone by, when crime didn't pay so well, and so many
hadn't fell....
it was check out time and soon they would pick up
their daughter Amelia and take her to play in the
highschool basketball game. Amelia was a point guard
and had come a long way from her not so successful
redshirted freshman season, to become a starter, on the
varsity team. The halftime buzzer had just rung, and Rob and
Anna were off to the concession stand for a dog or two,
when this girl comes running out of the stands onto the
court, and without hesitation, stabs Amelia below her
left ribcage. Rob and Anna were horrified when they
heard a scream, and immediately knew it was their daughter
Amelia, who was lying on the court, bleeding and writhing
in pain.
Rob called 911 and they both checked out Amelia,
who though wounded, was conscious and told them
that Aretha the girlfriend of Aaron who was the brother of
Alicia the girl whose family was put in witness protection
because she informed Rob and Anna about the wherabouts
of a gang fight. Amelia said Aretha had been harrassing her,
threatening her, that somebody had to pay for her losing
the love of her life.
The ambulance arrived, and the medics assured our heroes
that their daughter would be fine, no vital organs
were involved in the the incident. Rob went with the ambulance
while Anna cuffed Aretha, and followed behind to the hospital.
Anna said you know you're in a lot of trouble, you just can't go
around stabbing people, because your feelings were hurt, I know
this is hard on you, but would you rather Aaron be dead, which
was the only possible outcome? Aretha said why can't you tell
me where Aaron is? Anna said sorry, but it just doesn't work that
way.
When they arrived at the hospital, Amelia said she
didn't want to press charges against Aretha, becuase
she understood how sad she was at losing her boyfriend
and just wished the whole mess would go away. Rob said
sorry sweetie, you have a good heart, but when somebody
stabs someone in a public place, it's not a matter of pressing
charges, it's a class one felony plain and simple.
Amelia did convince
her parents to talk to the D.A. about not trying Aretha as an Adult,
which is often done in cases like this.
In Juvi court, Aretha was sentenced to one year of
institutionalized psychiatric care. Amelia who was healed
and out of the hospital, went to the hearing, and promised
Aretha she would visit her in the facility. A still angry Aretha
scoffed, a lot of good that's going to do me. True to her
word everday after school, Alicea, would visit Aretha.
After a rough start, a lot of starring into space, Amelia
said to Aretha, if you want I could stop coming to visit
you, and Aretha said no, don't do that, you're my only
link to sanity, the only one who understands me. I realize
what I did was wrong, and the fact that I could have
killed you and that you still come to visit everyday
means a lot to me. Amelia kept Aretha updated on the goings
on at the highschool, who was dating who, and even introduced
Aretha to an orderly at the facility, and it was clear, that Aretha
would soon forget Aaron, highschool romances being as fickle as
thay are,
Amelia and Aretha became really good friends, it's strange
how things work out, sometimes, but when you have a
good heart like Amelia, all things are possible
