Chapter Thirty


Today Joey was sitting in the Office of Dr. Peter Vaughn; it was his first session with the renowned Psychiatrist. As he sat there filing out papers, Joey kept thinking that if this doctor couldn’t help him, what was he going to do?

He had just finished, when he heard his name, he looked up and there stood this elegantly dressed older man, “My name is Peter Vaughn, and are you must be Joseph Wheeler?” They shook hands, and then Peter showed Joseph into his Office.

When Peter closed the door, he said, “Please sit down” then he walked over and picked up a file and a note pad and then he said, “Now Joseph, why don’t you tell me why you’re here.”

Joey took a deep breath and then he said, “About nine months ago, I started receiving text messages from someone; at first I didn’t think anything about them. But then one day while I was having lunch with a friend, I got another text message, and well it sent shivers down my spine and I knew that I was dealing with someone who could be dangerous, not only to me but to any of my friends.”

Dr. Vaughn asked, “What did you do next?” “I have some very pushy friends, and they made me show them the messages, they thought that they could help me, but I didn’t want any of them involved, but they wouldn’t listen to me.” Joey said.

“What happened then?” Dr. Vaughn asked. “The last message was meant to make me take action, so I took off and I went to the home of a very good friend, there I found out that she was missing, I knew that whom ever this mysterious person was they had Tea.” Joseph said.

“Did you get anymore messages from this person?” Dr. Vaughn asked.

Joey closed his eyes and then when he opened them he said, “Yes, this one was the one meant to get me away from anyone who could help me. The message said, “Maybe now you’ll know that I’m not playing some stupid game, you have one hour to try to find out where your friend is, if you‘re wrong, well maybe your friend knows how to swim.”

What did you do next?” Dr. Vaughn asked. “I went to the pier and when I got there I searched till I found the building that I thought Tea was being held in, I went inside and when I discovered that she wasn’t really there, someone hit me over the head and I hit the floor.”

Dr. Vaughn then asked, “What happened then?”

Joey’s eyes filled with tears as he said, “Hell happened, that’s what.”

Dr. Vaughn then asked, “What do you mean?”

Joey told him, “I came to, and I found myself tied to a chair, and then I heard the person say, “Now you’re going to feel what my brother felt when he was locked up in that damn prison!”

Then oh god, then she picked up some kind of hideous pliers and she broke every finger on my right hand.

The pain was excruciating, I just wanted to die, then when she was through, she said, “That’s enough for now, but don’t get to comfortable, soon I’ll be back and I’ll do the same to your left hand, then I’ll start breaking every bone in your body, one bone at a time.”

While Peter was listening to this young man describe what happened to him, he could almost feel his pain, Peter knew that this would take more then a few session, but he would help this young man.

Peter saw that their time was almost up, he then said, “What happened to you was horrendous, and you’re are having a hard time dealing with what happened, and right now you don’t know if talking to me is going to do anything to help you, I can assure you that in time I can help you. I need you to make another appointment, let’s say in two days.”

Then Peter opened the drawer in his desk and he took out a journal and he handed it to Joseph and he said, “I want you take this journal and write down your feeling, you don’t have to censure your language, just write how you’re doing each day.”

Joseph took the journal from the doctor and as he looked at it he asked, “And how is this going to help me?”

Peter then said, “I can understand how you think that this is a waste of time, but believe me, after you’ve written your feelings, go back and read what you’ve written and you’ll begin to find that the anger inside is no longer there, it’s on the pages you just wrote on.”

“Then if I continue doing that, why do I have to come back here?” Joey asked.

Peter then said, “When you write down your feelings, it’s only masking the real reason you’ve came to see me, we’ve just touched the surface of what’s really bothering you, so if you keep writing in the journal and come back to see me and then and only then will you be able to take back your life.”

Joey took the journal, then he stood up and held out his hand, Peter shook it and then Joey said, “I only pray that you’ll be able to help me, because if you can’t I don’t know what the hell I’m going to do.”

Peter then said, “I can’t start to say that I understand what you’re feeling, all I can say is I really feel that if you continue these sessions, I’ll be able to help you, but you have to believe that it will work.”

Joey then said, “I’ll come back, because I have no other place to turn, like I said before, I pray that this works.” Then he walked out of the Office and he closed the door. Peter sat down in this chair and he closed his eyes, he prayed that he would be able to help this young man.

Joey made another appointment, then he walked out of the building and as he turned to walk down the street, he saw Seto; he was sitting on a bench reading a book.

Joey walked over and as he sat down he said, “How long have you been sitting here?” Seto put the book down and he said, “Since you walked into the building, I promised that I’d be here for you, so here I am.”

Joey took Seto’s hand, stood up and said, “Let’s go home.” Seto stood up and he said, “My car is around the corner.” They walked to the car and as Joey closed the door, Seto started the car and drove back to the Manor.

When they got back to the Manor, Joey said, “I have another appointment with Dr. Vaughn, I just pray that he will be able to help me.” Seto put his arm around Joey’s shoulder and pulled him close and said, “I really believe that you’re doing the right thing, and don’t worry, you’re not in this alone, I’m here for you. so is dad, Helga, Mokie and of course there‘s Bubba, Thunder and even Brownie.”

Then they walked inside and as Seto closed the door he said, “Let’s go see if Helga has something to eat.” When they walked into the kitchen, they found Helga, and she was baking cookies. Mokie was sitting at the table talking to her, when she looked up and saw them and she said, “Do you want a cookie?”

Joey laughed and said, “I’d love one.” So he and Seto walked over and got a cookie, then Joey looked at her and he said, “I really think that this doctor is going to be able to help me, I want to thank you and Roland for putting up with me, I know that I’ve been a pain in the ass and I’m sorry.”

Roland walked into the kitchen then and he said, “Joseph, I will say this only once, you are not nor have you been as you say it, a pain in the ass. What happened to you would have made anyone go nuts, so I want you to just get better and if talking to this doctor is the one to do it, and then by all means talk to him.”
