Chapter 9

Bailey got up from the trashed bedroom and walked slowly to the kitchen where she poured herself a glass of orange juice. She was literally drained and drank the juice to help. She was just empty. She didn’t cry as she sat there, and she wasn’t angry either – but there was nothing left in her. She was drained of her healing powers temporarily, she knew that, but her energy was gone too. And she knew if she didn’t replenish it by eating or drinking that she might get sick too. So she drank the juice in silence, sitting at the empty kitchen table.

After the juice had been in her system for a while she got up and warmed herself a can of tomato soup. She sat there alone at the kitchen table and ate the soup and drank the juice. Slowly her energy seemed to return. She really didn’t want the food but her body thanked her for it and hungrily accepted the offering. She knew she needed the energy to be able to clean up her newly trashed house – again. So she ate, and drank and rested – until she felt good enough to do what needed to be done.

Several weeks passed after that night. Bailey, for lack of anything better, went on doing what she always did, volunteering at shelters, and spending time with those who had no one else to be with. She also found it was harder to heal others since that night with Morgan. But she kept on trying because she didn’t know what else to do. And she refused to let herself miss him. That was simply not an option.

Then one day about six months later, Bailey heard an unexpected knock on her front door. She went to it half expecting there to be a nosy neighbor or someone else on the other side but was surprised to see, when she opened it, that Morgan stood there. He looked terrible again and she instantly cringed in pain inside at seeing him this way.

“So, I went to a healer like you wanted,” Morgan blurted out before she could say anything else. “My entire family hates me now because of what I did. They threw me out. But… all I could think of was you….”

She just stood there, not sure what he wanted. She wanted to hug him, he looked so sad, but he also looked very guarded. So she decided not to hug him but to invite him inside where she made him coffee. Once inside he told her everything that had happened to him over the past several months. He’d fought with his family and they eventually kicked him out. They didn’t want anything to do with him anymore. So he had to make a tough choice. He just knew that he couldn’t live without her anymore. He had tried it and it never worked.

Morgan’s life had never had a purpose until he’d met her. So he gave his old life up, and got the transformation done.
