《The Mafia's Weakness》Dancing with the devil
Advertisement
I found my mother with her friends and I sat there with her till Weston fell asleep.
"He loves you very much." My mother smiled taking him from my hands.
"I know." I smiled looking down at him.
"Your great with kids Ruby. One day you'll be a great mom."
I remember when I was younger I always wanted kids. I would use my baby dolls and act as though they were real. I would play the role of the mother and wish that one day I would find my prince and we would have many baby's together. Mine wasn't really the prince I wanted. He was more of the villain in every movie or book you could think of.
"Ruby." I turned when I heard my name and looked to see Eric. His face was beaten up a little but other then that he looked good.
I jumped to my feet and pulled him to me. "Your ok!" I breathed squeezing him tight.
"What about you? That dick didn't hu-"
"Ruby!" I pulled away when I heard that. There Colton was staring daggers at Eric.
"Do you mind bud I'm talking to my friend." Eric said turning me to look back at him.
Colton was quick to grab my other wrist and pulled me tight to him.
"Well if you don't mind I'd like to dance with my girlfriend." Eric let me go with a look of sadness in his eyes. I let Colton pull me off as I looked back at Eric's face. I wanted to tell him that none of this was true. That I was faking all my feelings for this man.
Colton pulled me to the dance floor holding me harshly. His grip would definitely leave marks.
"I thought I told you not to go near-"

"He's my friend Colton. And I didn't even know that he was here!"
He started dancing to then music moving me with him.
"Oh really? Just friends..."
I couldn't even look at him because we knew I was caught in a lie.
"You will never speak to him again."
My head snapped back to him. "You can't do that."
"I'm your husband. I can do what ever I want." I heard a Commotion and looked to see a bunch of guys pulling Eric up the stairs. They weren't pulling him to the doors. Instead they were pulling him to a back room and my heart sunk.
"No. Please." Tears started falling as I watched then pull him away.
"Don't cry little one. They are only going to warn him."
I tried to pull away from him but he wouldn't let me go.
"And besides I have something I must do." He stepped back still holding my hand as he called for everyone's attention.
"I would like to ask my beautiful girlfriend something."
No god please don't let this happen. Take me now I've had a great life up till now. I don't want to do this.
He got down on one knee and I cried. To anyone watching they would think I was crying for the fact that I was happy. far from that actually. I was crying because my life was hell. That my friends and family weren't even safe if I said what I truly wanted to say. I wanted to say no and run so far with all the people I loved.
"Ruby will you do me the honor of making me the happiest man on the earth and becoming my wife?"
He popped open a little black box to show a beautiful ring that would soon be on my finger. That little thing would end my life for sure.
"Y-yes." I said softly and he smiled getting up to put the ring on my finger.
My parents came over to congratulate me and talk to Colton and his parents. I was lost in my own little world. I was watching my life slip from my hands right in front of me and there was nothing I could do about it.

Memoirs of A Healer/Clinical Social Worker: Autobiography of Bruce Whealton
A loving spouse. A healer. How does this person cope with evil villains willing to destroy everything? They convicted the victim... now how does the victim goes on with life as a healer?As the book opens, I was in a psychiatric hospital following a suicide attempt in December 2019. What starts as a simple conversation with another patient changed my life. Most of the rest of the book tells the reader how I got to this point. I experienced profound injustice between 2004 and 2006. By opening with a story about suicide, I want the reader to understand that the injustice was not just something that happened long ago.This book is an account of all the accomplishments and successes that I had in overcoming tremendous odds and challenges. Growing up, I was paralyzed by shyness and lacked social skills, and so the idea of becoming a psychotherapist never occurred to me when I went off to college. I learned that I could overcome those limitations. I wanted to bring that hope and healing to others. Activities like that make life meaningful and bring me joy. The reasons why I was suicidal in 2019 were set in motion in 2000 when a meteor would come crashing down upon the life that I had built leaving me powerless to do anything other than watching everything burn to ashes - the home that I had, the life I had known, the love I had, my career, everything would disappear almost as if it never existed. In that one the year 2000, I could not imagine things could get any worse. But the nightmare would continue for the next few years... culminating in a suicide attempt in 2019. Now, I am connecting with others, building relationships, and finding a reason to live again. I am writing my own story of my life. I will fight against the injustice of the past and offer my gifts to the world. I have so much to offer. I have quite a story to tell. I hope you will help me to move on with my life.
