Chapter 5
After the phone call had ended, all three of them in the truck were
contemplating, not only the prior conversation, but also the plans for the
evening. Both of her parents had no idea what had transpired to their
child between that fateful night and till now. Just the hardships that she
had faced those few days on her trip to Tallahassee felt like a knife in
their heart, but knowing that April had been there for her gave them some
relief. Until now they had imagined almost every possible horror that
could have befallen her.
Joan tried to apologize again, "Sarah we are so sorry for what we did... I
promise that we didn't mean for it to happen that way..."
Recounting those few days and then being interrupted by Steve, and then
his insistence they she bring them to his house tonight had really caused
her to tense up and she snapped, "Not now okay! We're done talking about
this for the moment!" She immediately regretted her words and the sting
they carried. More calmly she said, "I'm sorry... Look were almost there,
and I can't be all emotional when we get there... I have a job to do..."
Bill nodded and said, "It's okay... We understand, we've thrown your whole
day off. Right Joan?" Joan just nodded in acknowledgment then he
continued, "By the way... You haven't exactly told us what you do...
A bit shocked that they weren't aware of what she did for a living, she
asked, "April never told you towards the end?" When they both shook their
head no, she was surprised. Then again, April had told her over the years
that her parents had never once asked about her, so she could see where
April wouldn't have brought it up before she wrote her letters. With that
thought, and her parents seemingly interested, she spent the last few
minutes of the drive filling them in on what she did, the roll she now
played, and what they were doing here today.
Her dad looked at her in awe. "Sarah, that is remarkable."
Joan followed up with, "I'm so happy that you've done so well for
yourself."
She had to smile when she saw her dad's head suddenly whip around as she
pulled into a parking spot.
"That car looks just like yours other than the color!", Bill exclaimed.
Sarah couldn't help but laugh. "That's Ben's, that one is pretty much the
reason I have mine. When I first started coming here to inspect the
outsourced items we had them build, him and I started talking about it.
Thanks to you always having me help you in the auto shop, I still have an
interest in cars... Especially when they are as beautiful as that one."
Her dad still eyeing the bright red 427 Cobra roadster as they walked
towards the building, he noticed and said, "I see he has all the chrome
badging on the car, I don't remember yours having anything on it."
Sarah smiled thinking at least they still had this in common, and told
him, "Well for one thing Ben likes the old school muscle car and tried to
keep it as authentic as possible. I don't have the 427 badges on mine
because it's not a 427... I wanted a car I could afford to put gas in, so
mine has a newer Boss 302. That and I'm not a flashy kind of person
anyway. While its not that authentic, I just loved the sleek look of the
plain midnight blue..."
As they reached the door she saw her dad give her a look of admiration as
he stated, "Well they are both beautiful cars." Sarah just smiled as she
nodded, while she swiped her access badge.
They hadn't made it but a few steps into the building, before this big
bear of a man stepped around the corner and bellowed out a frustrated,
"It's about time young lady!" Then a smile creeped across his bearded face
as he reached out his arms to give Sarah a hug, one which she readily
returned.
"Hey big guy, sorry I was running late.", Sarah said as she let go of him.
He just smiled and said, "Yeah Steve called and told me, you okay?"
She smiled and told him, "Yeah, at least we're getting there. Oh Ben, this
is Joan and Bill Richardson, my parents. This is Ben Duncan, master
machinist and production manager here."
Ben smiled and shook their hands. "It's a pleasure to meet you both,
welcome to the Toy Box."
Bill looked confused and asked, "The toy box?"
Sarah gently laughed at her dad. "He'll show you what he means by that,
I'm sure. I just have to get started doing what I came here for."
Ben then led them down a hallway and a few doors until they came into a
room set up for her to do her inspection on the new part. Once making sure
that Sarah had everything she needed, Ben directed her parents to follow
him while she got to work. He led them to the large open area that was the
main section of the shop, as soon as they walked in and Bill saw all the
equipment, he started getting excited.
"Okay now I see what you meant by toy box, this place is incredible!" Bill
exclaimed. Joan just rolled her eyes at her husband, but she was obviously
amused by his reaction.
Ben just laughed. "Sara had told me that you were a shop teacher, so I
thought you'd appreciate this."
Bill nodded. "Yeah I taught shop at the high school for almost forty years
and also taught the auto shop class for twenty until they phased it out.
Less and less kids wanted to take auto shop, so they eventually did away
with it."
Ben replied, "Yeah we're seeing less and less young people showing
interest in this kind of thing these days... I can see where Sarah took
after you."
Bill looked surprised, the big man obviously was friends with Sarah and
both him and Joan had been surprised at how nice Ben was being to them.
The compliment caught him off guard though, he softly muttered, "Well she
probably wouldn't like to hear that..."
Ben looked at him sadly and gently told him, "You'd be surprised about
that... Since I've known her, she's actually talked a good bit about you
both."
Joan spoke up, "She has? So, she told you that we..."
"Kicked her out? Yeah, she told me everything.", Ben said.
They both look at each other for a moment before Bill asked, "Since you
know and obviously care for her... Why are you being so... nice to us?"
Ben leaned back against the wall and with one hand rubbed his beard in
thought, finally he said, "Look, I know what you two are trying to do... I
commend you for trying to make amends with her. I'm actually rooting for
you in this..."
Joan questioned, "Really? Why?"
Ben just smiled at her before saying, "Look, I'm a parent too. I've made
mistakes, quite a few of them... Probably not quite as epic as you two,
but still... I have two daughters, Carly is 17 and Bree is 15. A few years
ago, Carly was in a really bad place. I wasn't listening to her, and kept
telling her to toughen up, and quit letting things bother her so much...
Then about 3 years ago we had found out she had started hurting herself,
and was spiraling down pretty fast..." Ben paused to wipe his eyes with
the back of his hand before continuing, "I was helping Sarah put the
engine in her car, you know doing the heavy lifting and such. She noticed
that something was bothering me, and it took her almost half an hour to
pry it out. When I told her about Carly and what was going on, Sarah
immediately wanted to talk to her... At first, I refused and told Sarah
she couldn't help, we didn't think anyone could..."
Joan noticed the man's eyes misting up, she gently squeezed his hand. "Was
she able to help?"
Ben nodded. "And then some... I kept telling her no, until Sarah told me
what she had gone through... and why... I'll admit I never saw that
coming... I had never once thought she had ever been anything but Sarah...
That kind of threw me for a loop, but knowing what she had been through...
Maybe with her experiences with overcoming her depression I thought she
possibly could help. It was just a risk I was willing to take... So, we
drove back to my house and Sarah marched herself up to Carly's room and
she stayed up there for almost 3 hours talking... Since then both of my
girls look up to her sort of like a big sister, and Dawn and I consider
her our third daughter pretty much now." He paused to clear his throat and
resumed, "Sarah has a huge heart, with a capacity to care about people
that you rarely see... She truly is a special lady, doesn't matter even if
she wasn't born a girl..."
Bill and Joan both smiled, then Joan asked, "So how is Carly doing now?"
Ben smiled and said, "She still has her good days and bad days but her
most recent cutting scar is now over two years old... Most importantly
though she's still here, that's directly due to Sarah..."
Chapter 6
Once the small group had composed themselves, Ben continued the rest of
the tour. Sarah was just finishing up when they all came back into the
room with her.
Sarah smiled at Ben. "Everything looks great Ben, I can't thank you...
ooof." Sarah grunted, as her mom enveloped her in a tight hug. "Mom what's
that for?"
Joan let her go and smiled. "Sorry, Ben was just telling us some things...
I'm just really proud of who you've become... I just couldn't help it..."
Confused, Sarah told her, "It's okay, I didn't mind... It just surprised
me is all..." Sarah then looked at Ben and asked, "Just what the heck did
you tell them?"
Ben replied, "I just told her how you helped Carly, and how you also
helped us too." He then went over and hugged her and whispered in her ear,
"I didn't tell them the detailed part, you told me to respect Carly's
privacy on that, okay."
At the mention of Carly, that reminded her of something that she had
completely forgotten about with the way the day had transpired. Reaching
into her backpack she pulled out a thick envelope, and handed it to Ben.
"What's this? You didn't...", He stated, then opened up the envelope to
find 4 tickets to the upcoming Taylor Swift concert. "Sarah... You didn't
have to do this.", he started to complain.
"Ben, just hush okay... I appreciate that you took care of this yourself,
and made sure everything was done as perfectly as possible. You could have
easily waited till Monday, but you didn't. Just take them, I know the
girls are wanting to go. Thank you for what you've done.", she told him
firmly.
"Look Sarah...", he started to say before she scolded him.
"Say thank you Ben..."
Seeing the determination on her face, he just sighed, "Thank you."
Grinning with the win, she teased, "See now that wasn't that hard." Then
she reached up and hugged him one more time and said, "It will mean the
world to the girls for you all to go, okay."
Knowing that she was right, about how much the girls and the family would
enjoy the concert, he gently shook his head and told her, "Girl you are
something else... "
Laughing, she said, "and you better not forget it. See you all tomorrow
for my party, right?"
Ben laughed heartily. "If we didn't go the girls would hitchhike to be
there."
With the part in hand, she waved once more to Ben and then she and her
parents left. With only a minute or two delay, so her Dad could get a
better look at Ben's car, they were on their way.
Sarah made the last stop to deliver the part, and after half an hour
insuring it was installed correctly they headed back to her house. Her
parents had hoped to hear more of her life, but after the day she had
already had, Sarah refused to talk anymore about it. Instead she focused
on talking about pretty meaningless topics, she was just too emotionally
drained for anymore right now.
When they arrived at Sarah's, it was just past 4PM, which left them not
quite two hours till they were due to arrive at Steve and Dana's for
Sarah's pre-party. Sarah had claimed she needed to get cleaned up, but in
reality, she needed some alone time to try to process everything before
whatever was going to happen tonight. Trying to be nice, she offered for
them to meet back here and she could drive them over, but her parents
unsure as well of what was going to happen tonight, told her they would
just meet her there. That honestly suited her just fine, in actuality she
wanted to get there early so she could give Steve the third degree to find
out why he had invited them. So just a few minutes later Bill and Joan had
gone back to their RV, while Sarah ran herself a quick bath.
Sarah rarely took a bath, due to her busy life she normally opted for the
speed and efficiency of a shower. The ups and downs she had gone through
today though, made her think a nice soak would relax her. Unfortunately,
instead of relaxing as she had hoped, she ended up thinking and
overthinking what had transpired earlier. There had been moments during
the day where she had felt like her parents did truly love her, but those
thoughts were soon replaced by others. If her parents did love her, then
why had they gone almost 20 years without attempting contact once? Nothing
made sense, they seemed to accept her, but then remembered the last time
she had talked to them they had kicked her out of the house for being 'out
of her mind'. An act that was suggest by an evil man masquerading as a
minister, an evil man that they had trusted more than her. The only family
member who had always been there for her, supported, and protected her,
was now gone and just relegated to a memory. After half an hour of the
mental gymnastics she gave up and climbed out of the tub feeling no better
off than when she started.
As she was getting ready, she almost slipped back into her comfort
clothes, jeans and a tee shirt, when something made her pause. Even though
her parents had seen her most of the day and treated her as a daughter,
they had only seen 'practical' Sarah, and not 'girly' Sarah... She started
questioning since she was in her comfort clothes that they might not have
fully rationalized that she was all girl now... Thinking that maybe if
they saw her completely dressed up and in her feminine best, it might
shock them into being the parents she remembered... That thought was
easier for her to accept then that they had really changed. Besides, even
if tonight was a pre-party, it was a party nonetheless, which would be
okay to get dressed up for. If Bill and Joan reverted back into the
parents of old, she could then kick them out of her life forever. That was
what she wanted, wasn't it?
With more questions forming in her mind than answers, she diverted her
attention to her appearance. She opted for her LBD, one that was sexy, but
not too sexy. She considered it her flirty dress, not that she ever really
got a chance to wear it anymore. After doing her makeup, in a slightly
muted nighttime look that complimented her blue eyes, and then donning her
3-inch black heels she took stock of her appearance once again in the
full-length mirror.
She gasped as she saw herself, she didn't remember the last time she had
worn something like this and had forgotten just how good she could look
when she tried. She hadn't really been out on a night on the town since
Dana had married Steve. Once her best friend had gotten married, the girls
night out slowed down, and once she got pregnant those nights had stopped
completely. Girl's night now for her and Dana usually consisted of a trip
to Toys-R-Us for the girls. She admired herself for a few more minutes,
just to make sure everything was as perfect as possible before she finally
walked out the door.
Arriving at Steve and Dana's about half an hour early, she found her
parents Prius already parked on the side of the road. She had completely
forgotten Bill's hyper-punctuality, he had always said that if he wasn't
half an hour early to an appointment he was running late. Silently cursing
herself, she quickly tried to prepare herself for her parents, and how she
expected them to act.
She noticed her parents had recognized her truck so had gotten out of the
car and was walking up the driveway towards her. Taking a deep breath, she
grabbed her bag and opened the door to step out.
Bill said, "I see you still like to be early too..." His mouth dropped
open ever so slightly when he saw Sarah step out of the Tundra. "Oh my
god!"
Both relieved and a bit upset at his exclamation she grimaced, and asked,
"What?" She was expecting Bill and Joan of old to suddenly show up, but
was completely unprepared for what she heard next.
Bill saw she was upset, unsure of what he had done to cause it. Bill had
been married long enough though to know, if a woman is mad at you and you
don't know why, start apologizing anyway. "I'm sorry Sarah, I was just
shocked... You look so much like your Mother did when she was younger...
You're so beautiful." Bill had to admit he was pretty good, an apology
followed up immediately with a compliment. He hoped that would be enough
to calm his daughter down, he was worried enough about meeting her friends
without her starting the night with her already mad at them.
Completely caught off guard by his response, she just looked blankly at
them both for a moment, before she came to her sense and said, "Thanks...
I just though since it was a party, even a pre-party, I might get dressed
up... I don't really do this often..."
Joan came up and with a huge smile and tried to reassure her. "Sweetie
that's a shame, because you do look absolutely radiant... Although I don't
think I ever looked quite as stunning... Or tall..."
That actually got Sarah laughing a little bit, after all Sarah had gotten
her height from her Dad. While he wasn't a big man, he was still 5'10 and
only 2 inches taller than Sarah, while April had apparently taken after
their mom on that aspect since they were both 5'3.
Both of her parents seemed at ease now that she had started to laugh, the
mood had lightened considerably in just the last few seconds. Joan then
said, "Shall we? I'd really like to meet these friends of yours."
Nodding Sarah just said, "After you two..." As her parents walked in front
of her Sarah looked skywards as she blew a stray lock of hair from her
face and thought, April just what in the hell have you gotten me into now?
