The Beginning of the End
Chapter 1
Looking at her clock reading three pm Lu sat up in bed. She had a bad dream or in other words a nightmare. She had nightmares before but nothing like this. These nightmares are worse then the ones after my rape, she thought. Sweat and fright was all over Lu's face. She got out of her bed knowing that if she fell asleep she would have that same dream again. Walking slowly into her kitchen making sure she didn't wake up her son. She opened that fridge to get a glass of water. She decided that if she can't sleep than she would watch some television. She headed for the couch, turned on the television. After awhile she drifted off to sleep.
Lu came to work late that morning. But to her luck she didn't have a patient till 15 minutes later. As she approached the clinic she noticed something different about herself. That she had this mark on her arm. She saw this mark before but she didn't know where. Finally she got it out her head and went through the door. As she walked up she bumped into Dana who was rushing to the bathroom. I wander if she's pregnant Lu thought naww. After she almost got carried away in her thoughts she heard Lana call out to her. "Hey Lu, your late today" She said with a smirk on her face. "Yeah I, I didn't much sleep last night". "Oh, did someone keep you up all night" Lana said referring to her new boyfriend Chris. Lu didn't say a word instead just gave her one of those OMG did she just say that stare. Lana got the message and before she could say anything Lu said "No that's not it it's just my dreams" while wiping eyes and yawning. "Dreams. What are you talking about" Lana said worried about her friend. "I don't know. It was like whatever was happening in my dream I can feel it, like it was real". "Well I don't know what to say about that kid but don't worry about it. Maybe it was just a one time thing" Lana said coxing Lu to get over it. "I hope so" Lu said under her breath. "So Lana, who's my first patient". "Well let me see, mmmmm, Kayla Nelson at 9:30." As Lu was walking to her office Lana yelled to her "try to get some sleep, alright kid." "Yeah Lana I'll try" Lu said and shout the door behind her.
It has been a long day for both Lu and Dana. Patients left to right. They finally were getting a break. They were sitting in the lounge watching one of Lana's soap operas she's been telling them they have to watch. As they were watching the soap, breaking news came on. "Sorry for the interruption, but we have just been informed that Jason has come back. This morning two fishermen came across two bodies along the bay. The fishermen described the condition of two boys and we could tell it was him. If anyone comes across him or one of his victims report it to the police. That's channel 5 breaking news and back to your schedule program. "Oh Dana, do you think that they were the two boys we saw the other day" Lu said in a very concerned voice. "I hope not" Dana said feeling the same way Lu was.
Lu and Dana are finally done with there patients but not done with work. There was going to be this big party for Dr Jackson. Celebrating his 48th birthday. It was supposed to be a secret but no one can fool Dr. J about something big like this. Peter, Lana, Lu, Dana, and Mark were all there helping put up decorations and calling his family and friends. Since Dr. Jackson had very little friends Dana and Lu's patients were welcome too.
"How much more do we have to put up? I mean he's just turning 48." Lana said in a whining voice since she's been working since 5 o'clock and the party starts at 8. "Not that much Lana" Lu said laughing at the same time. About 15 minutes later they were all done. Guest was coming and it was looking like a great success. When the entire guest got there everyone made it quiet in the room. The lights were off and everyone was waiting patiently till the birthday boy came through the door. Dana went to go get him. He knew what it was all about but he didn't want anyone to know because he knew how hard they went into doing this for him. He finally got there and everyone said surprise and saying happy birthday and stuff like that. Peter was the Dj and Mark was helping him. People were dancing, eating food, and having fun. Things were going great until an unexpected guest came and the party will change and never be the same again.
