My Life III

My Life
It has been three months since I have moved here to Washington. I bought that place in the business sector of the city and I have also got it up and running. Evelyn actually came to work with me though that didn't come of as much of a surprise. I have been talking to Cathleen increasingly over the three months. She's been beat up by Jeff a lot that concerns me that she hasn't tried to leave him but I swore I wouldn't meddle in it, and I won't.
Well today's my birthday, haven't really told anybody, I just don't care so what it's one more year of my life I've lost. It starts just like any other day and ends like it too. That's all a day it really is, that and a reason to celebrate us getting older. So today when I get home today I intend to just go home have a dinner for one and watch the TV. I have no one to spend my day with and I am fine with that.
Then around my lunch Cathleen called and I answered she told me she needed to see me immediately. So I told Evelyn I was taking my lunch just a little early, and got into my truck and left. I was heading out to a small diner out far enough away from Jeff. I saw Cathleen there already, so I walked in, and then I saw her. It looked like she had been through hell lately. I sat down and waited for her to talk first.
"I'm going to leave Jeff," she announced.
"Well I just hope it is so you can live a better life for yourself," I said with sincere concern.
"Well that's partly the reason why I'm leaving. The other reason is because of you," she said.
Then we talked four my hour lunch. Felling sure she was doing this for the right reasons I left. I paid the tab and left. On the way there Jeff's words rang like crystal in my ear. Now I don't think that poor guy with the inferiority complex would make good on his word. I knew no matter how she broke up with him he would think I had something to do with it. He and his baby penis could shove it somewhere else first. Not that I didn't get that it's just the way he was acting was really stupid.
Got back to the store and started working again. The rest of the day was long and unbearably drawn out. Then around seven Evelyn left, I usually closed, and I just said have a nice day. I shut down all of the computers and looked up all of the display cases. By that time it was eight and time for me t leave I locked up the place and got into my truck.
By the time I got home I was exhausted. I turned on the burner and grabbed a thing of Sloppy Joe mix out of the third cabinet to the left with a broken hinge. Almost as soon as this was finished someone knocked at the door. I went to go open the door and it was Cathleen. She looked like she had been beat up again, so I told her to go to Evelyn's I also gave her Evelyn's phone number.
About ten minutes later I got a call from Evelyn. I told her what was going down, and I got a knock at the door. I was on the phone when I went to go and answer it. I opened the door and it was Jeff. I dropped the phone, it was raining outside and he was carrying a bat. The next thing I know he swings it at my leg and I feel searing pain.
The next few minutes went by really quick. He threw me down onto the ground and all around the first floor one time I tried t crawl away from him he then broke my other leg and next thing I knew I had searing pain in my back and tail. Then darkness...
The next day: Evelyn's House
I haven't heard from John or the police since I called them last night. Cathleen left sometime this morning. I'm at the store and he still hasn't showed up I am worried about him. The bell rang so I walked out into the front of the store and there is an officer standing at the counter.
"How can I help officer," I asked.
"Do you know John Moulder," he asked.
"Yes, why what's wrong," I asked.
"Can you close the store down for a few hours," he asked.
I closed the shop and I walked out to my car. I followed him to the hospital. I know this isn't a good sign. He got out at the emergency entrance and had me follow him inside. We went up the stairs to the emergency care unit. We went into a private room, inside was John. He looked like crap there was a bit of his left ear missing and he was missing one of his fangs. A doctor walked into the room.
"Well Dr. Freeman, can you explain his physical injuries," the officer asked.
"Well hislegs broken, his right was hand crushed, is missing a chunk of his left ear, has ruptured spleen, collapsed lung, torn diaphragm, crushed kidney, nose broken from several hits to the face, skull fractured, 2 burst discs in spinal column, and 4 vertebrate in tail severely dislocated from being pressed under his body in an unnatural angle, and he will be in a coma for two and a half months. After that he will need a lot of casts and watching over. Surgery to repair busted internal organs. When he wakes up he will be in hell" the doctor said simply.
"you see many cases like this," I asked.
"No, not usually my intern is kinda broken up about it can't see how some furs can do this to each other. Working in a place like this kinda makes us all cynical in the end," he said.
"So he's going to live," I asked.
"Well we don't know considering his species is vulnerable to extinction and we don't know much about them medically. I have to honestly say yes he will live," he said.
I went to go get to a pay phone. I dialed Cathleen she had to know what happened. I told her all of what the doctor told me but I worded it much more carefully. I heard a thud in the background and hung up I kinda figured that she fainted. My god he was going to be in extreme pain when he wakes up. The officer told me that they have put Jeff in jail and will be tried under attempted murder. He also asked me to take care of him when he came back around, I told him I would considering I was a good friend of his...
