A Long Love free porn video

All of my stories have a semblance of truth, this one more than others. It was difficult for me to write. This is a story about control, don't waste your time if you are looking for erotic writing... Not in this one.

Chapter 1

The dark man watched her as she walked from her car to her house. He had been watching her for a long time. He had given up on loving her, but knew deep in his heart that he would never, ever stop caring for her until the day he died. Her name was Julie and the one thing the dark man knew, was that Julie was a train wreck.
Julie was born to a structural engineer and kindergarten teacher. Her c***d hood was extremely happy; she grew up in an upper middle class neighborhood and had everything a girl could want. She took dance lessons (tap and ballet), took horse riding lessons and had every toy a young girl could want. Her father designed her bedroom and bed to look like it was part of a castle and she was a princess.
Julie’s friend growing up was Candy and they are still friends to this very day. It seems that Candy and her older brother Ben were part of Julie’s family. They lived right next door to each other, so they often spent the hot summer days in Julie’s pool.
Julie and Candy had no secretes (to this day they still don’t), they told each other everything and in later years they grew slightly apart, they were always each others support.
Julie’s relationship with Ben was much different, almost strange, but she loved it. Ben was her big brother and because he was a couple years older, he was always protecting her. She felt deep down that Ben wanted their relationship to be more. She just didn’t feel anything for Ben and she dreaded the day that she might have to tell him. Fortunately Ben joined the military and it never came up. She wrote Ben often, and she signed her letters “Love Julie” she knew that she loved him, but she would never be in love with him.
Candy loved Julie like the sister she never had. They were as close as could be. Her one complaint about Julie was that Julie when given two choices seemed to always make the bad choices. These decisions sometimes put Candy in a bad spot.
Ben was well over 6 foot tall and always felt drawn to the military. No one was surprised when he finished high school early and joined the Army. No one really knew what Ben did in the military and Ben rarely discussed it. He didn’t write many letters to his parents as he didn’t want to tell him what he was really doing. He did write Julie often, but he never got the connection he was hoping for. Her letters were always about whom she was seeing and the crazy parties she attended.
As Julie got older, she found she liked the party lifestyle. There wasn’t anything she wouldn’t try. She would drink, take or smoke anything to get high. Candy knew that there were times that Julie was taken advantage when she was stoned, but it never bothered Julie, once telling Candy it was the price you paid for partying.
Julie had an obsession for Latin men. She loved their skin, their hair, almost everything about them. Julie also liked the bad boy type, so often found herself partying with a bad element.
After his overseas combat tours, Ben found himself stationed 100 miles from home, so instead of sitting in the barracks on the weekend, he would drive home and spend time with his family or in the solitude of the mountains. Ben was dealing with a lot of demons from his time in combat and the mountains were a place he could go where they wouldn’t follow.
He had a CJ 5 Jeep with big tires that he usually drove around town with no top or doors. Women loved Ben and companionship was not an issue. He was tall, muscular and had a quiet confidence. He wasn’t afraid of anything, but would walk away from a confrontation rather than fight. He hated v******e, but had learned that some people only understood v******e.
It was on one of his weekend’s home, he saw Julie’s car parked at BJ’s Burger, the local hangout. He thought he would pull in and say hi. As he pulled in he could see Julie with 5 guys. Julie was sitting on the hood of a Dodge and they were passing a bottle around. As Ben walked up, he could feel the mood quickly change and the temperature drop 15 degrees.
“Hey Julie” he said and Julie jumped off the hood and ran and hugged him “I didn’t know you were home, I miss you so much”. As they broke their embrace he could see the hard looks from the 5, One he recognized from high school and knew that he knew who he was, he nodded to him and received a nod in return. It was obvious that Julie was really drunk and was having a hard time standing.
He said “Hey Julie, why don’t you let me give you a ride home”. Before she could answer, one of the 5 said “Who are you, her father?” He turned slowly and walked to him and stood close to him and said “I am the man, who is driving her home, is that a problem?” It wasn’t until he stood in front of the guy that he realized the size of Ben. He gulped, but didn’t say another word.
Julie looked like she was on the verge of puking, so he helped her to his Jeep and got her strapped in. “Take care my friend” he said to the one he knew and headed for home. Ben had to pull over twice, so Julie could throw up. When he got home, he got Candy to help him get Julie into the house. Once Candy had Julie under control, Ben took Julie’s keys and put his running cloths on. He often ran at night and the 6 miles to the burger place was an easy jog for him, when he got there his 5 “new” friends were gone. He brought Julies car home and when he got in Candy told him Julie was asleep in his bed. He slept on the floor next to Candy and had his typical restless sleep.
He awoke early and jumped in his Jeep and headed to the mountains. He grabbed a large coffee at 7-11 and headed to his favorite spot where he could watch the sun come up. He sipped his coffee and watched the sun slowly rise on the plains. Here he thought about his life, the horrible things he had seen and the hope of the future. He prayed to God for forgiveness and hope of a better future. Once the big fire ball was above the horizon Ben headed home.
When he got home, Candy said Julie was up and he could have his room back. As he walked into his room Julie stood there naked except for a pair of bikini underwear, shirtless. Ben would have immediately left if it wasn’t for what she was doing. She had found his citations from combat and was reading them. “What do you think you are doing?” Ben asked, his anger rising quickly. “Julie turned, not attempting to cover up. Surprised and said “I found these and was reading about what you did, why didn’t you tell us what you did?” “Because it is none of your fucking business and you have no right going through my personal things”. “I am sorry” she said tears beginning to well up in her eyes. “I always seem to do the wrong thing”. Once she started crying, Ben felt all the anger disappear, there was only one person who could do this to him and it was his secret love Julie.
“Please leave my stuff alone and keep this to yourself” Ben said. She hugged him, bare-chested and all and walked into the bathroom he and Candy shared. Later that day, Ben tried to masturbate to the image of Julie, her beautiful breasts hanging out, a black mound of hair showing through her panty’s, but he couldn’t get an errection. It all came back to the fact that Julie would never love him.

Chapter 2

If anything, Ben was a realist and he knew that Julie would never love him. He believed in God and it came to him that this wasn’t God’s plan. He volunteered to go back to combat. He secretly loved the thrill of danger, he loved serving his country and putting a hurt on bad people. He knew that he wanted to make the military his career and that is what he did.
The letters from Julie still came, but not as often. She told him that she met someone in college and it was getting really serious. Ben was happy for her, because all he really wanted in his life was for Julie to be happy. That was until he got a letter from his sister.
Candy had told him that Julie was madly in love with a man she had met in community college named Pablo. Pablo was short and acted like he was the toughest man on earth. He had dropped out of college and worked for a moving company. Candy felt that she was too blinded by Pablo to see how he was using her. In the end, Ben realized none of that mattered if Julie was happy.
He was not surprised a few months later when he received the wedding invitation in the mail. Because of his missions, he had gotten the invite 2 days after the wedding. It wasn’t as if he could have attended. His sister’s letter came soon after and said the wedding was small, but nice. Julie’s parents really didn’t like Pablo, but they gave her the fantasy wedding she had always dreamed of. Candy had put his name on the gift from Candy and her husband and that he owed her $50.00, and the interest would double every month. He chuckled at that as his sister was just k**ding him about money. He would send her checks for the things she sent him and she wouldn’t cash one, her way of taken care of her brother.
As the years passed, life events happened. He heard that Julie had a daughter who was beautiful. He learned that Julie’s parents bought Julie a house. There was a huge fight because they wouldn’t put Pablo’s name on the title. He also heard that Julie’s parents lent Pablo the money to buy a gas station and that within a year he was bankrupt.
It was when he was home on leave and close to retirement, Candy and Ben were talking in Candy’s back yard. She got serious and told her that he thought Pablo was beating Julie. Ben felt his anger rise and calmed himself down. It seems that Julie and Candy went to the gym twice a week to work out as Julie had put on some weight and was trying to lose it to make Pablo happy. At the gym, Julie’s towel slipped and before she could pull it up, Candy saw bruises all over Julie’s back and butt. She turned her head so Julie wouldn’t know she saw.
Ben kept his anger in check, but felt that he was going to be sick. He was ending his military career and swore he would never use v******e again and he felt torn that someone he loved may be getting hurt.
The next day his friend Mike said he needed help pulling the engine on his truck. Ben headed over there and as he walked into Mike’s backyard, everyone screamed “Surprise!” There was a banner that said Welcome Home! Candy and Mike had arranged a party for him. Ben was not a surprise party kind of guy, but he knew this was more for his sister and went along with it. There were a lot of old friends there, Julie’s parents, guys from high school and some people he vaguely remembered.
He felt a tap on his shoulder and turned and there was Julie. Her face was the same and she had gotten bigger, but his heart skipped a beat. He gave her a hug and she kissed him on the cheek. She pulled away and introduced her husband Pablo. Pablo looked none to happy to be there, let alone see his wife embrace another man.
He shook Pablo’s hand and evaluated what he saw. He was a tiny man with a chip on his shoulder. He knew the type, nothing was ever his fault, the world screwed him, He picked on those that couldn’t defend themselves and talked tough.
Ben said it was nice to meet you and than met Claire, Julie and Pablo’s daughter. She was an identical Julie when Julie was that age. Same smile, same laugh same everything. She picked her up with a smile and told her how beautiful she was. It made Ben smile!
Even though he hated the idea of a party, he admitted later he was glad that Candy had thrown it. He realized that in leaving the Army, this would be a new reality. Time with his family and friends, something he never had.


Chapter 3

Life went on as normal; Ben started a computer job with a company and liked the normalcy that it offered. He had a couple old cars that he enjoyed and he started dating a variety of women.
He tied to see Candy every month for coffee and catch up on the family and the latest gossip. She told me that after my party, Pablo had beaten Julie up so bad that she couldn’t get out of bed and had to call Candy. Candy went over to take care of her, but she was in bad shape. He had beat her back with a belt so bad that she was peeing blood. She refused to go to the hospital and refused to call the police.
Evil lays in all men and no matter how you slice it, evil done for good is still evil. Ben felt that he no longer was in control and it scared him.
That night Ben found himself sitting outside the El Toro Bar and Grill. Everyone in town knew it as the Bull. It was a great pace to get cheap, delicious Mexican food. That was during dinner time, past 9 PM no white person would dare enter as it was known as a place where you didn’t want to be.
Ben parked his pickup next to Pablo’s beat up car about 8:30 and entered the restaurant. He got a booth and ordered a Diet Coke and beef fajitas. The restaurant was pretty empty, but he had a nice view of the bar where he saw Pablo sitting with a young Mexican woman. They were sitting very close and Ben watched as he slowly put her arm between her legs. Ben finished his meal and ordered dessert, which seemed to surprise the waitress. The waitress looked at her watch and asked “Are you sure Senor?” A few minutes later a bunch of the girl’s friends said they were leaving. Pablo’s companion when with them and she kissed him and walked out. Ben laid 2 twenty dollar bills and headed outside,
Ben waited in the shadows for about twenty minutes for Pablo to come stumbling out. He was glad Pablo was parked on the far side of the emptying parking lot. As he fumbled to unlock his car and open the door, Ben stepped out. “Dude you dinged the door to my truck”. Pablo looked up and said “Fuck you, I didn’t touch your fucking truck” and slammed the door walking towards Ben. “Are you calling me a liar?” said Ben. “I know you” said Pablo. “You are going to soon wish you didn’t” said Ben. Pablo turned back to his car, but turned quickly throwing a punch at Ben. Ben knew this was coming, blocked the punch and grabbed Pedro’s wrist putting his arm behind his back and throwing him on the hood.
Ben got a better grip and walked Pablo to the edge of the parking lot and let him go. “OK Pablo, let’s see what you got”. The fight was quick and Ben had to control himself. He knew that if he lost it, he could kill Pablo. Ben walked back to his truck and drove off, before he had gone a mile he had to pull over and throw up.
The next day his phone rang at work, it was Candy. Julie had called that Pablo was in the hospital. He had been attacked by 6 or 7 Mexican’s outside the Bull last night. He fought the best he could and he thought that he had hurt a couple. He was in the hospital with a concussion, broken ribs and a fractured jaw. Julie was a mess and was by Pablo’s bedside, and would be until Pablo, the love of her life could come home.

Chapter 4

Ben had an opportunity to take a job out of state for 18 months. He thought it would be the best thing for himself and packed his things and was gone. In a way it was kind of like starting your life over. He needed a break from his friends and family and his time in the military made him enjoy the nomad life style.
Ben had settled in to his new job and was working after midnight when his phone rang. He looked and saw Candy’s number and was instantly concerned. Candy told him that Julie had called and said that Pablo was beating her. She heard a scream and the phone went dead. Candy and her husband called the police and ran over to Julie’s house. The police had arrived just as Pablo was running out the front door.
Candy had run into the bedroom and Julie was tied to the bed, face down and was bleeding from belt wounds on her back. The clock radio was pulled out of the wall and the cord was wrapped around her neck. Apparently Pablo was choking her just as the police pulled up. The policeman and Candy got to the room at the same time, Candy loosened the cord and Julie was breathing, but just barely. They got Julie untied, but she was u*********s.
The EMT arrived and pushed Candy out of the way. They rushed her to the hospital and once they got her stable they put her in the ICU. The doctor had told her parents that she may never awake from the c***. The only good thing was that Claire was at camp and didn’t witness it.
The police arrested Pablo on the spot and was charged with a litany of crimes, including attempted murder. Candy’s husband Bob later told Ben that Candy had to be restrained by the police from going after Pablo; she kept screaming “You are a dead man”; “You are a fucking dead man”.
Ben hung up the phone and the worst part he wasn’t surprised. He felt overwhelming guilt that he some how let this happen, that Julie. It was his job to protect her and he absolutely failed. He did the only thing he could do and that was to Pray and so that is what he did.
Candy kept him updated on Julie’s progress; he called her again after midnight of the third day to tell him Julie was awake. The doctor said that t was a great sign and while she wasn’t out of the woods, he was happy with her progress. The bad news was that the first thing Julie asked about was Pablo. She told Candy that this was all her fault as she had pushed Pablo too hard about getting a job, that she loved him so much.
It was still another 7 days before she left the ICU and another two weeks before she left the hospital.
The first thing she did when released was to try and bail Pablo out. His bail had been set at $500,000. Even with a bail bondsman she would have to raise $50,000. No one would lend her money and when she tried to put the house up for his bail, she needed her parents to sign and they refused. Julie was distraught and sold everything she had, but couldn’t come up with the money, so Pablo sat in the County Jail and Julie visited him 3 times a week and put money in his Commissary so he could have snacks and cigarettes.


Chapter 5

Pablo’s trial was coming up and the biggest obstacle was that Julie was going to testify for Pablo. She begged Candy not to testify against Pablo. It was her fault and if she testified, Pablo could go away for 25 years.
Right before the trial, Pablo agreed to a plea deal of 5 years in prison. With good behavior and Anger Management Classes, Pablo would be able to get out in less than three years. Pablo was sentenced to a facility 4 hours from Julie’s home, yet she made the trip to see him as often as possible.
Ben finished his job and moved back to his home state. He moved to a town a few miles away in the mountains. He had a great view of the sunrise and he used that to cleanse his past.
He didn’t see Candy often, but she was having a barbeque at her home. Ben arrived late as many people were leaving or had left. It was good to see his sister and he really liked her husband Bob, a good solid, hard working man.
He was also surprised to see Julie sitting in a lawn chair. She was obviously really drunk and had a hard time standing. Candy had told Ben that she was drinking to excess a lot. She was on thin ice where she worked as a secretary for a real estate developer because of her drinking and was on the verge of losing her job.
When she hugged Ben his first thought was she looked horrible. She was extremely over weight, smelled horrible and was missing one of her front teeth (thanks Pablo!).
They sat down and talked about how her daughter was, how she was doing and when ever she brought Pablo up he changed the subject. It was getting dark and Ben had to use the bathroom. When he came back, Candy and Bob were cleaning up. He also noticed that Julie had passed out in the chair; it was also very obvious that she had pissed herself.
Candy walked over and said “Fuck, I can’t do this again”. Ben said “I will deal with it; I will get her home safe and put her to bed”.
Ben got her awake enough to walk and they started the walk 5 houses down to Julie’s house. On the way, Julie stopped twice to puke, the smell of vomit and urine made Ben want to hurl himself.
When they got to Julie’s house it was a pig sty. There was garbage every where and half eaten food all over the place. Ben got her to the master bathroom and sat her down on the toilet. He got her undressed as she sat there half awake. When she was naked, what surprised Ben the most were the number of scars. He had seen war veterans with less damage to their bodies. It looked like someone had put half a dozen cigarettes out on her breasts.
He got her up and into the shower. There was a small seat built into the back of the shower. He sat her there and told her not to move. He positioned the jets to hit above her and run over her body.
He stripped the bed and found some clean sheets in the closet, they didn’t match, but he made the bed any way. He kept checking on her and she seemed to be sobering up, well maybe a little. He started the washer and started cleaning the living room, filling 3 large trash bags in minutes.
He went back into the shower. She was actually standing, leaning against the wall. Ben got in and helped her wash. He scrubbed her from top to bottom, even washing her hair (with her help). He used the one clean towel he found and dried her off. He half carried her to the freshly made bed and situated her. He sat on the edge of the bed and she looked at him and said “You always took care of me Ben, you always cared”. Ben replied “I always will Julie; it is God’s plan for me”. Julie asked him “I want you to make love to me Ben; I want to be with you”. Ben smiled, but didn’t replay. Julie continued “I will do what ever you ask, I will let you fuck me in the ass or suck your dick, and all I want to do is make you happy”. Ben stood up and held her hand and simply said “No Julie”. Tears welled up in her eyes and said “It is because I am ugly and fat, you don’t want me because I am no longer young or beautiful”. Ben with his own tears replied “It is because you don’t love me and no matter how hard you tried, you cannot love me”. Julie said “I am willing to try” and Ben smiled “That is just not good enough”.
When Ben checked back a few minutes later, Julie was fast asleep, snoring loudly. He made a bed on the couch and tried to sleep. He got up every few minutes to check on her, often standing over her wondering if. It was a very long night.

Chapter 6

Ben woke up early and continued to clean the house. The trash bags were lining up at the curb. He was able to get the house fairly clean and the only thing he didn’t do was run the vacuum as he didn’t want to wake Julie. The toughest room was the master bathroom, it took him 30 minutes to scrub the toilet and tub, and it was like there was fungus growing in them.
The kitchen was nasty, a few times he felt like throwing up his hands and giving up. He scrubbed and scrubbed with the limited cleaning supplies he had.
He was finally done cleaning before 6 and ran to Safeway for breakfast food. When Julie got out of bed at 8:30, he had a full breakfast made; she was wearing her robe untied, so was half naked as she walked around. Surprisingly, she was really hungry and wolfed down the breakfast.
As they were having coffee after breakfast she looked down and said “I am sorry about last night, I could never forgive myself if I cheated on Pablo”. “I know what people thing about him, but he is a good man and I just push him too hard”. It was hard for Ben to control his anger and contempt, but he managed.
Julie had marveled at how clean the house was, thanking him over and over again. He joked that he had better go before the neighbors started to talk.
As he was walking to the door, Julie got up and tripped over the mouse cable from the computer in the living room. “Why didn’t you throw this piece of shit out with the garbage while you were at it?” Julie asked. “Doesn’t it work” said Ben. “No” she said “It is the one that Pablo used and it won’t even start up”. “Why don’t you have me take a look at it, you do know that is what I do for a living” he joked. “OK, take it” she said “Maybe Claire can use it for school”.

Chapter 7

It was a few days before he was able to look at Julie’s computer. Each time he saw it, it reminded her of the train wreck she had become. He finally put it on the work bench and fired it up, it took 20 minutes to boot up, a sign that someone had visited a lot of porn sites. The computer was obviously infected with more than one virus.
It took 4 hours of virus scanning to finally make the computer usable again and to be sure, he would probably erase everything and start from scratch. He saw that there were over 100 emails in the email folder and feeling just a bit guilty he took a look at Pablo’s email, he soon wished he hadn’t.
He went down to the existing emails and saw there were a large number that were responding to a Craigslist Ad. The ad said:

My wife is up for anything, hit me up and let’s see what we can arrange”

The responses were numerous and detailed to the point of being disturbing. One communication that looked like it had taken place was 5 college guys who wanted blow jobs and Pablo told him for $300 she would do it. There was a response from the guy thanking Pablo saying “It was well worth it”. Ben sat there frozen and when he finally could move, he couldn’t stop shaking. Pablo was pimping out his c***dhood love to guys on the Internet.
Ben wanted to stop and the more he read, the more disturbing it got. He finally had to walk away; he was fraught with emotion and the need to protect Julie he was losing control.
He put his running cloths on and went out for almost 2 hours run. When he returned he had a clearer head. He calmed himself by saying that Julie was a grown woman who could make her own decisions. He told himself that, but it was thin, real thin.
He went back to the computer and decided to erase everything and start over. He put a thumb drive in and looked for anything worth saving. In a folder called “Pics” he found hundreds of pictures and videos of Julie. At first, she was dressed sexy, than lingerie, than nude and than with Pablo. It kept getting worse and worse, there were pictures of multiple guys with her and some of an obese woman and her having sex and just when it couldn’t get any worse it did. Towards the bottom, there were pictures of Julie with a German Sheppard. Pictures of the dog fucking her and her giving the dog a blow job, the one that will be ever etched in Ben’s mind was the dogs cum dripping out of Julie’s mouth. In each of these pictures Julie looked distraught, almost frightened and that made it all the worse. Ben sat there crying and was about to close the window and walk away from the computer when he saw something that made his blood turn cold. He had been in scary situations many times in his life, but nothing scared him worse than what he was seeing in front of him. It was a folder that said “Claire”.


Chapter 8

Ben knew if he opened the folder that his next step would have to be to call the police, he would have absolutely no choice. When he finally worked up the nerve to open the folder, there were a lot of pictures of Claire, but none nude. Many in her pajamas and dozens of her in her grand parent’s pool. There was also a lot of her on her Slip and Slide in her front yard.
In each of the pictures her face was blurred out. Ben knew that even though these weren’t pornography they were being used for no good and it frightened him after thinking about what Pablo was doing to his own wife.
Ben was losing it and he got on his knees and prayed for strength. Mostly he thanked God for putting Pablo in a prison, because if he wasn’t in prison, Ben knew he might hurt him, maybe kill him.
Ben sat back in his chair and his anger flared, he stood up and punched the wall behind his computer screen until it was as big as a football. He sat back down and started shaking again. He was totally lost as to what to do, than it hit him. He knew exactly what he had to do. He finished up what he needed to do to prepare, he finished the computer and left his office. He took a shower and headed to bed. He fell asleep almost immediately and for the first time in years slept all night.


Chapter 9

Ben called Julie the next day and told her he had fixed the computer and would like to drop it off on Saturday morning, maybe he could cook breakfast again, or at least have coffee. Julie said she would like that.
On Saturday morning Ben knocked on Julie’s door with the computer in hand. Julie had really cleaned herself up, her hair was done and she was even wearing make up. Ben quickly hooked up the computer and showed her how Claire could log on the various applications.
She asked him about breakfast and said that he was fine with just coffee. They sat down at the dining room table and shared small talk, finally Ben said ”Julie, I am going to get right to the point, your relationship with Pablo ends right now”. Julie looked as if he had slapped her and said “I know everyone hates Pablo, but the Pablo I know is way different than the Pablo you know”. “If you think you are going to walk in here and ask me to end my relationship with the man I love, you are fucking crazy”. Ben stayed calm and said “Julie, you are mistaken, I am not asking you, and I am telling you”. Julie laughed at him and said “Why don’t you get the fuck out of my house, nobody tells me what to do”. “That is the problem Julie, no one tells you what to do and you have totally ruined your life and now you are ruining Claire’s”. “What does Claire have to do with this?” “Get the fuck out you war damaged fuck” she screamed, her face almost purple with rage.
“If I leave now, I am going straight to the police” said Ben. Julie’s face turned white and she said much softer “I haven’t done anything wrong”. Ben laid the emails on the table and a look of shock came over Julie’s face. “I didn’t know any of this” she said a sob escaping from her voice. “I didn’t know he was charging people money, he told me he liked seeing me with other men”. Ben stayed calm and as much as he wanted to hug her and tell her it was all OK stayed with his plan.
“Julie, they won’t put you in jail for prostitution, but I can guarantee they will take Claire, is that what you want?” “Why are you doing this to me, all these years you have been my friend and you come here and blackmail me”. I thought you loved me”. “This isn’t about love Julie, this is about survival and I am here to save you”. “Don’t bother she screamed, I hate your fucking guts”.
Ben pulled out the pictures of Claire and laid them on the table. “Julie, do you know why the faces are blurred”? “He was going to do to Claire what he did to you and I will not let that happen”.
Julie started sobbing uncontrollably “You don’t know him, he is a good man”. “He may have been at one time, but good men don’t pimp their wives out or mess with their k**s, this ends Julie and it ends right now”.
Julie said “What choice do I have?” Leave Pablo or have you ruin my fucking life, some choice”. Ben let her cry and regroup until she finally seemed in control and her sadness turned to anger. “Tell me what I need to do” she said.
He opened his bag and handed her a box with a brand new iPhone. “That is your new phone and I will be monitoring all calls and texts”. I will take your old phone, if you have any contact with Pablo, I will ruin your life Julie and you will lose your daughter”. “I don’t want to, but as God as my witness I will not let any bad happen to Claire”. Ben got up to leave and laid the pictures of Julie and the German Sheppard on the table, someone who loves you doesn’t make you do this”. He walked away as she picked up the picture, before he left he heard are say “but you don’t understand”. But Ben did understand. “See you next Saturday for breakfast” he said as he left the house.


Chapter 10

Julie’s phone seemed to ring every few minutes and the entire caller ID said “State Correction Facility”, Ben finally got sick of it and let the battery go dead.
He monitored Julie’s phone usage and was pleased to see she wasn’t trying to contact him.
He knew she could easily grab another phone or send him a letter, but the fear of losing her daughter was real to her.
Ben had thought long and hard about it and realized if she forced him, he would go to the police. At this point it was more about saving Claire than Julie, as Julie may be to far gone to be saved.
When Ben arrived at Julie’s on Saturday he was met by an icy welcome. “I haven’t been in contact with Pablo” she said. “Does that make you fucking happy you controlling asshole”. “It does actually” said Ben” There are two letters from Pablo on the counter, I didn’t open them and I didn’t write him” she said.
Ben thought about trying to explain what he was doing, but felt that it was falling on deaf ears. “I have something for you to sign” said Ben. “What a confession of all my sins so you can put it in the church fucking bulletin”? “What the fuck is it”?
“It is a request to terminate your marriage to Pablo, he will have to sign it and than after 90 days your divorce will be final”. Ben could see her anger; a vein on her neck was popping out “Oh I will sign your fucking paper, but good luck getting Pablo to sign it, there is no way he will ever sign it”. “I guess we will see” said Ben.
As he was leaving he handed her a card and said “You have an appointment next Wednesday to get your tooth fixed, it has all been paid, please don’t be late”. As he closed the door he heard a big thud as something heavy was thrown at the door. He barely heard her scream of “Asshole”.


Chapter 11

Any break from routine was a welcome event in prison. While the confinement and the guards and the food were horrible, the same old same old was the absolute worse. So when Pablo was called to the visitor area it was a welcome change.
As the guard let him in he saw a familiar face, it was the son of a bitch friend of Julies who beat the shit out of him sitting in the middle of the fucking visitor center. He called for the guard, but he had already locked the door.
“Come sit down Pablo” said Ben, “No one is going to hurt you”. “The guard won’t be back soon, funny how when you give a guy who makes eighteen bucks an hour five hundred dollar bills how far he will walk”.
Pablo sat down and Ben asked if he wanted any snacks from the vending machine. Pablo said “Yea” and Ben rolled off 10 dollar bills and handed them to Pablo. Pablo was like a k** in a candy store, buying cokes and cookies, things that he couldn’t get on the other side of the walls. He was stuffing his face as he knew he couldn’t take it back to your cell.
“So what the fuck do you want” said Pablo. “Well” Ben said, “In a few days, you will get a letter from an attorney.” You will be called to the office to sign it, you will sign it and your life will get a whole lot easier”. “What the fuck am I signing” said Pablo. “It’s a request for your divorce and after 90 days you and Juliet will no longer be married” “I ain’t signing a mother fucking thing” said Pablo smiling with chocolate donut stained teeth. “Let me lay it out to you Pablo, you will sign it, one way or another you will sign it”. If you sign it right away, I will see that you get $100 a month, the maximum amount allowed in your commissary so you can buy the sweets that you obviously crave”. Pablo all of a sudden seemed to be paying more attention. “And what else you got?” “You will be getting out in 14 months and when you do there will be a bus ticket waiting for you to any where you want to go and when you get there, there will be a cashier’s check for $20,000 waiting for you, all for just going away”. Ben could see the wheels in Pablo’s mind working. “I have family in Reno and always wanted to go there” said Pablo, almost as an after thought. “Tell you what” said Pablo; I will do it for $25,000”. Ben sat back and smiled and leaned forward and said “We have a deal Pablo” and stuck out his hand. Pablo grabbed it and shook it. Ben squeezed his hand hard and pulled Pablo close and said “I saw Claire’s pictures on your computer, if you double cross me I won’t kill you, but I will make you wish you were dead”. He let go of Pablo’s hand and Pablo sat back in his chair. “I was done with that pussy any way, I knocked the bottom out of it and it that whore was too loose for me, fuck her” Pablo said. Ben stood up and walked away to the door and rang the buzzer for the guard. Pablo asked him “Are you fucking her now?” Ben shook his head and said “I never have Pablo, she never loved me”. Pablo sat back smiling. Prison was a hard place to be, but what made it easier was having a plan and $25,000 to spend and time to think about how to spend it


Chapter 12

“I can’t believe that son of a bitch signed it” said Julie the following Saturday. “I wonder what changed his mind” she said out loud. “I don’t know” said Ben maybe he realized that there was no future here”.
“Well I hope your happy and will leave me the fuck alone” said Julie. “No Julie “Ben said, “We are far from over”. He handed her a box and she opened it, not sure what to expect. “A fucking scale?” Why the fuck did you bring me a scale, I already know I am fat, I don’t need a scale to tell me that”.
“Get on it” said Ben.
Julie once again got angry “Fuck you, I am not doing this, no fucking way”. Ben looked at her and after a short time calmly said “You are going to do what I tell you to, now get on the fucking scale”. Julie stepped on it and the digital readout said 198.7 pounds. Julie had a look of anguish on her face “I knew it was bad, I didn’t know it was this bad”. Ben said “This scale is connected to the Internet and I will follow your weight, you will weigh yourself every morning, for right now your goal is to lose 2 pounds a week”. Here is a list of foods that you can eat; you can eat as much of these foods as you want and nothing else”.
He handed her a Gold Card, “This is your membership to the health club down by your office, there are classes every morning, I expect you to take at least three a week and you can be sure I will be checking”. “I am sure you will you fucking prick”. “Listen to me” she said “I will never forget this, I will never forgive you, and some day I am going to hurt you as bad as you are hurting me.” Ben looked at her and smiled “You can’t hurt me any more than you already have”. “By the way, your new tooth looks great” and he closed the door.


Chapter 13

Julie hated the scale; she feared getting on it every morning. She had cleared the crap out of the house and eating the high proteins she was allowed to eat.
She had always wanted a membership to the club, she knew it was costing Ben a lot of money, money she would never had spent on herself.
She started taking the 6AM water aerobics class. At first she was self conscious, but in the class she was one of the smaller participants. She liked the class and showered at the gym and was actually getting to work early.
After her first week she had lost almost 10 pounds. She had weighed herself before Ben came on Saturday and weighed again while he watched. He told her good job and she flipped him off.
She soon found the water aerobics class wasn’t enough and signed up for a spin class. She almost quit half way through the class and she watched other skinnier ladies give up. She got off the bike and thought “Well I am never doing that again!” when a woman came up to her and said “I see you here all the time, are you here tomorrow for this class?” Julie couldn’t believe that she said yes!
The months passed and every Saturday Ben arrived and checked her weight. The Saturday she got under 150 pounds Ben handed her another box. “What is this” she said “Some new torture device”. “No” said Ben, there are a bunch of gift cards, your work clothing is hanging off of you. “I don’t want your fucking charity, your money or your gift cards, stick them up your ass”. Ben smiled and said “I guess I need to remind you, but you don’t get a choice” and he walked out.
Julie got in better and better shape and found herself at the gym sometimes twice a day. She felt good about herself and liked how she looked.
The next Saturday Ben didn’t show up. She waited and waited and finally called him “Where the fuck are you, I have spent half my day waiting on you”. Ben replied, “I will see you the first Saturday of the month, congratulations on your promotion at work”. She slammed the phone down and screamed “Fucking Asshole”.


Chapter 14

The sheriff’s deputy came upon the wreck late in the morning. By the looks of it, it happened late the night before. The problem with these dessert roads was that it could be days before someone drove down them, so wrecks went unnoticed for long periods of time. The fire was still smoldering and the smell of burnt flesh was in the air. He walked up to the burnt out car and saw a body burned beyond recognition. Even with the fire, it was easy to see the melted whiskey and tequila bottles and beer cans lying on the floor of the wreck. He called for the coroner to come take a look. These were easy, some dessert dweller got drunk on his way home ran off the road and wrecked their piece of shit car. He walked around and there were 5 five gallon gas cans in the trunk that had exploded. This too was typical as these dessert dwellers lived in trailers off the grid and got their power from gas generators. This poor soul went into town, got gas and liquored up and wrecked on his way home, no big loss.
Days later the coroner got an uncertain toxicology report, with the empty bottles in the car he felt it was a no brainer and put down “Driving while intoxicated” as the cause of death.
The only surprising thing was that someone donated the money to bury this poor sap. So he got a nice casket and was buried in the Catholic Church cemetery. The only people who showed was the Priest and the old woman who played the organ on Sunday.
The gravestone was nice the Priest thought and according to the gravestone, Pablo would have a nice place to spend eternity.


Chapter 15

It had been over two years since this all started and Ben showed up on Saturday. Their visits were normally just a few minutes and he stopped asking her to get on the scale months ago. “Julie” Ben said, “What do you want to do with your life?” Her fist response was anger, but she finally said “I would like to be a paralegal. I can already do their job and they make 3 times as much as me”. “Than do it” said Ben “Go to school and I will pay for it” “I don’t have time to go to school and I am not smart enough”. Ben smiled that smile she hated, the one that made her want to slap him. Julie” he said “You have long since proved you can do anything”. “What?” she said “If I don’t get straight A’s you will ruin my fucking life? He smiled and handed her a large envelope. In it were all the emails and pictures “There are no copies” he said. “I love you Julie, I always have and I ever will” with that he turned and walked out the door.


Chapter 16

Ben was now an old man and he was surprised when he got the wedding invitation to Claire’s wedding. He hadn’t seen Julie since that day, many years ago and never thought she would have invited him
He had heard that she had worked as a paralegal for a huge law firm in the city. She had married one of the attorneys and they bought a huge home west of town. She spent a lot of time traveling Europe and splitting their time here and their home in Costa Rica.
The ceremony was nice; Claire was the spitting image of Julie when Julie was young.
Once the reception was in full swing, Ben walked up to the family table and said hello to Julie and introduced himself to Julie’s new husband. He shook his hand and said “I have known Julie for over 50 years” he said and smiled at Julie. Julie stiffened and forced a smile back “Yes, it has been a long time, Rodger you remember me telling you about Candy and Ben, they lived next door”. “Of course said Roger, a real pleasure to meet you”. “Julie” Ben said “I was hoping to have a dance; you have been turning me down for over 50 years now”. “Why of course “said Julie. On the dance floor they were silent and Julie finally said “You think I have forgiven you, but I haven’t, I still hate you and I always will”. “I know” said Ben “I guess you have that right, but I have loved you since I was 7 and I always will”. Before Ben could say another word Rodger came up and good naturally said “May a man cut in to dance with his wife?” “Of course” said Ben, “You are one lucky man Rodger”. Ben didn’t go back to his table; he simply headed for the exit.
He once again reminded himself that evil done for the sake of good is still evil.
He resisted the urge to take a final look and walked out the door, knowing he would never see Julie again.

The End
