Chapter 27
My thoughts were in a zone that had me thinking of all different kinds of possibilities with my father acting as though he had, had a brain transplant or something. Which had made me almost in dis-belief. I felt for a moment that I would have been in an alternate universe or something as my surroundings were almost like a dream of something I had always wished for. The smell of the ocean, the sun bursting down on us and the sand beneath my feet. I thought maybe it was a dream and I would soon wake up and that everything would be back the way it was supposed to be with my world just as offset as everyone else’s. I was only going through the motions as I watched others around me raise their glass and cheer to my mother and her incredibly special day. It was almost like slow motion as every laugh and joke flying straight past my ears and senses, but I had only done it to myself. As everyone around me was happy for once and I couldn’t be mad at that when my parents deserved it. I had disappeared taking a private tour wanting to see what the yacht really had to offer and find if there were any hidden compartments. I loved the simplest of things, but also loved what money could buy when it came to things like the yacht that had the sleekest most amazing architectural design that I had never seen.
As I walked around on my own, I was lost in my own thoughts and thinking how I was always amazed by the newest things when it came to things I enjoyed. I had been following the builder Palmer Johnson since he first started his designs. He was the newest, youngest, smartest, and handsome for being a geek who loved boats. I was lost in my private tour when I found the Capt. seat empty and before thinking about it, I took a seat and closed my eyes. “Now, now sis…. Yes, this yacht is amazing, but it is mother’s and doubt father would ever let you just sail it around the world alone. You do know he bought it more for you I think since mother only likes it because you like being on the water so much” Ethan knew how to ruin a great moment since he had been doing it a lot since he made himself known to me. “Always nice to hear you Ethan… love how you just know when to say something even though you’re constantly there…” I whispered. Ethan’s energy got more intense as he got closer to me and more connected as one making me feel how strong we were whether I wanted to or not. I couldn’t decide whether I should run or just let him basically take over my body and do what he wanted to do which I figured it out when he moved us back out to where everyone was.
…. Once we found our parents, I ran to them as though I had not seen them in years or something and hugged them tight and knew it was not just me but Ethan too. “Love you both, happy birthday mommy” it had been Ethan now talking through for us. I wasn't too sure how my parents were feeling when Ethan and I hugged them and after hearing myself whisper to them "It's no one's fault that Ethan is no longer here. He loves you both so much and all he wants is for us to be a family and happy again." I was not even sure if it was me saying it or Ethan who had stepped into me and took over me for a moment. My father finally let me go letting my mother wrap her arms completely around me and sobbed letting all her guards down. To top it off doing it in front of everyone, I stood strong taking most of my mother’s weight as she became weaker the more, she cried. She finally buried her face in my chest as my father wrapped a towel around my shoulders. "Ok mother, how about we put a smile on that face of yours and get this party started? We have a big crowd of guests who are doing their best not to stare. We can pick this all up later I promise, plus if you want the good Dr. medium is here and I’m sure she'd love to get to do some readings" I whispered into my mother’s ear not wanting others to hear me.
My mother finally wiped her eyes and nose on the towel, stepped back and looked up at me with hope, fear, but most of all unconditional love. I had not seen my mother so open and raw before which actually made me tighten up and raise my walls up immediately. I was not sure why since I'd always done my best to keep the walls from forming. Ethan was near again knowing I would need him for support even though I had my parents and my friends near me. "It must be a twin thing" I thought to myself and even gave a little giggle thinking about all the times in the past and now even at the present that he might have seen or heard. My parents both smiled as I turned away and let our guests in to join us in our moment showing that I was happy for the moment. "Thank you all for being here for my mother on her special day, and there for all the 3 of us whenever we need a friend. Most of all thank you mother for always being here when I need you the most, happy birthday!" I smiled letting it really touch my heart, though my thoughts were somewhere else.
A few minutes later I got the party started with music playing with the Capt. and the crew starting the yacht so we could sail around the island. Before heading out to the coral that was about an hour away. I wanted to make sure to make the day special and peaceful for everyone but most of all my parents who had disappeared alone. I hoped that they were making up but did not know if it would be for them or for the benefit of me who had seemed to be losing her mind. When everyone seemed to be looking bored, I tried to think of something anything as I was always the outgoing girl. I could turn a day of boredom to a party or at least not boring and that is exactly what I hoped to accomplish. "Ok so we have a lot of things we can do before we get to the reef for all those who don't like scuba diving or snorkeling. Looks like this yacht has a lot to offer. They have an inflatable pool like thing that we can put out that keeps us from being stung by the jelly fish or any other fish that might sting. Then we have a pool table inside in the gaming room, golf on the green, and then we also have our very own medium for those who would want a reading. We have plenty of liquor, beer, wine whatever floats your boat and since we have about what 20 guests here with us, we can split up and do whatever you want" I informed them all with a smile hoping that I could get them all to participate in something.
