Chapter Seven

March 3rd

Well, Adam called me last night. My cell phone rang at 5:30p.m. It had Adam's name on the caller id. So I answered and said, "Hey Adam. What's going on?"

"Oh, well. I came and talked to my dad and I told him not to call and bother you. I didn't want to start another fight. So I decided to find a therapist here, which I found one. We talked for a few days and so I was able to get some medication, think our fight over and see what the hell I did wrong. So now I'm calling to tell you. Well, I'm sorry for yelling and getting into fight with you."

"Well, I accept your apology and I'm sorry too."

"I just wanted to say that I'm going to be staying here for a while. I think I'm going to find out who my real father is. I haven't been able to catch up with him because the days I've been here I've been talking to my therapist. I hope you don't mind I've been emailing my teachers and doing my homework online."

"Oh, all I know is Amy and Amanda miss you. As well as I do. I love you so much Adam. To tell you the truth, I actually went to my therapist and she gave me medicine."

"Why, what have you done? Did you slit your wrist?"

"Yeah, I'm sorry. I got so depressed and you wouldn't answer your phone, or my voicemail's I was leaving you. You also wouldn't reply to my emails. So I went into shock depression and had my mom watch Amy and Amanda. Salem ended up having to take me to the doctor's office. But I got better after she gave me a pill of my medication."

"Well, I should be home the fifth. I just need a couple more days to catch up with my father. I don't trust him yet. I just need time to trust him, and two days is good enough. I just want you to go back to school tomorrow, then after school, pick up the twins. You need to speed time with them. I love you really much. Please sleep well. Love you sugar pie."

I came to school today. Robbie pulled me aside and said, "Andi. Honey did Adam and you talk last night? He e-mailed me and said that he talked to you. I just wanted to talk to you and ask."

"Yeah. He told me to come back and spend time with Amy and Amanda."

"Now, he wanted me to talk to you about something. Now, you and me are going to be related if you and Adam get married? You understand that right?"

"Yeah. Why wouldn't I Robbie."

"He just wanted me to let you know."

"Alright. Thanks for talking to me and letting me know that he e-mailed you. Robbie, your the best professor I've known."

"Hey, I'm family. Now is there anything you need me to do?"

"No, I'm fine. Thanks for asking Robbie."

Then my friend Jinni asked, "What was that about?"

"Oh, nothing, just some family problems. He's nephew, my fiancé, went to his dad's house about three weeks ago, and then came home. Were Adam and I got into another fight and he left to go to his dad's house again. He should be coming home soon today."

"Oh, your related to a teacher at the university?"

"Yeah, two of them actually. One's by marriage, the other is by blood."

"What other teacher are you related to in this school? I mean the one by blood."

"Oh, Professor Rippling. He's my uncle."

"Your mom's brother I take it." said Jinni.

"Yes, it is my mom's brother. I never get to talk to my mom's brother because of what happened to Luna and me."

"Who's Luna?" asked Jinni curiously.

"Oh, you didn't hear about it. It was all over the news and newspapers. My friend Luna was in a car accident shortly before Halloween. Then shortly before her last few months of school, my ex-boyfriend killed her. Who raped me, got me pregnant and then killed my baby five months before it was to be born."

"Oh. Your the one they were talking about. I never put a connection together. Why didn't I? And to top it off, you don't look like the girl in the newspapers." said Jinni.

"Well, I dyed my hair a different color before, and plus I six months ago, I had two twin girls."

"Wow, that's something. Were you able to cope with the pain of caring twins? I mean, it had to be hard on you after going through what you did." said Jinni.

"Well, it was." I said, I then gave her my journal to read that she said was in book form. I told her, "That is because, I wanted to tell my life. I had put so many days and hours of editing it and putting it into that book. But I did."

"Wow, are you sure that your going to be what you wanna be. I mean, you could be a top seller author." Jinni commented.

"Yeah, I just write on the side. It helps."

"What do you mean it helps? Do you earn money for the stuff you write?" asked Jinni.

"No, my therapist said that I should try something as an outlet for my depression, and I tried writing, like poetry, songwriting, and even writing books. So that was the outlet that worked to cure my depression. Along with my medicine."

"Andi, Jinni get to work." said d Professor Ritter.

"Sorry Professor." said Jinni.

Then I went to the cafeteria and Adam called my cell phone.

"Hello Babe." I said.

"Hello honey. How are you today?" asked Adam.

"Well, I'm fine. Jinni noticed that I'm related to two teacher here at the university."

"Wow. Well, I just called to say that I'm on my way home. I should be there by time your home. If not, just go home and wait."

"Alright."

In fact, he got home before me. We together went to go get the twins. My parents weren't home but my brother Andy was home. He said that mom and dad had to go to the school to have a meeting with his teachers, so they left the twins home with him, he also said that they behaved for him, as well with mom and dad. Well, I think that I'm going to bed. Later.
