I set aside the letter before it gets too smeared with my tears. I have cried more the last four days than I have in fourteen years and I can scarcely stop. But these tears are different. They’re absent the anguish I have been feeling. They’re more like tears of healing. With each drop that escapes the corners of my eyes my soul feels just that much better. It’s like the tears are beginning to wash clean the blackness of my heart and soul. For the first time in…I don’t know how many days I’m starting to feel like I have taken a step back away from the abyss. I don’t feel like I’m about to be swallowed up by my feelings and that’s a huge fucking relief!

I can’t believe my aunt heard and understood what I was saying to her that night and I can’t believe she was lucid enough to write to me about it. As trite as it sounds, I feel like I’ve been given a new lease on life. I have a chance now to be different and if I don’t take this opportunity and do something with it…then my auntie was wrong about me and I am a bad person. I don’t believe I’m a bad person, not anymore. It’s time to call Stacy and face the music. I pick up my cell phone to make the call. It’s well after one in the morning. I decide to wait till the morning.

At first I think it’s going to be impossible to sleep, but having unburdened my conscious somewhat I find I am actually relaxed and have no trouble sleeping. When I finally wake it’s close to nine in the morning. Time to call Stacy and face the music.

She answers just before it goes to voicemail. “Hello?”

“Hi Stacy.”

“Oh my god, I can’t believe it! Is it really you Morgan! I have been trying to get ahold of you like, forever, and so have Jason and Brian too.”

Brian is my direct supervisor at Capital America. He’s my only supervisor really, and has the power to fire me or promote me. The fact that he’s trying to get me on the phone can’t be good at all.

“What the hell does Brian want?”

“Maybe you should hear it from him first.”

Shit! “Hear what Stacy?”

“Just call him.”

“Can you at least give me an idea? I’d kinda like to know what I’m getting myself into before I talk to him.”

After a long pause she finally answers. “It’s about your job Morgan. Be prepared to fight for your career; that’s all I know.”

“Shit! You…never mind. I guess I had this coming didn’t I?”

“Just call him.”

“Fine.” I reply. “I’ll call ya later.”

“Bye…and good luck.”

This I did not see coming. I look at my phone. It’s July 16th. Oh fuck! I was supposed to be at work a week ago. So he’ll be pissed, so fucking what? I’m one of their biggest producers. No fucking way they’re going to can me!

I dial Brian’s cell number. He answers it right away.
