I don’t own it but I enjoy Josh and Reva.
Long Way Down
Josh clutched at the letter after absorbing its contents. He was absolutely stunned. Annie Dutton…after all this time. He flashed through the memories of her near total destruction of his family last time she lived in Springfield. Annie had surgery to change her face completely in order to get close to him. She drugged him and brainwashed him to do the unthinkable, to try and sleep with Reva’s sister Cassie in order to forge a permanent rift between the two of them. In Annie’s deluded mind, she would be there to pick up the pieces and then Josh would be free to love her.
‘She was supposed to be locked away in a sanitarium funded by Alan Spaulding, wasn’t she? How did she get out? Was she ever committed?’ Josh’s mind spun like a top trying to adjust to this new and very dangerous information.
Josh clinched his jaw angry that Annie had again found her way into their lives. He reviewed the letter focusing in on words like ‘embezzlement’, ‘mafia’, and ‘illegal’. Josh shut his eyes momentarily silently berating himself for ignoring the situation with his current wife and the havoc turning a blind eye wrought upon his family.
Again he looked longingly over at his first, true love as she lay recovering. Against her better judgment she had gone to great lengths to get this information to him. Oh how it had cost her! Josh’s eyes filled with tears as he remembered their last encounter; how determined she was to move on with her life but made this one last effort to gain information he needed in order to set his life straight. There was no promise of reconcile or prize at the end of this mission. There was just the satisfaction that you knew you did what was right.
Josh chuckled bitterly at his thoughts. ‘It’s so Reva’ he reflected. Needing to be closer, he bent down and placed his head on the pillow next to hers.
He remembered that night in the club when she found out he had married Sonni in Venezuela. “I turned myself inside out for you, Joshua!” she screamed. “I sweat blood for you…God Bud you married her?!?” She sobbed brokenly in front of an aghast crowd at the county club. Josh tried to comfort her but she screamed and latched on to Alan Spaulding. After that night the two lovers lived apart relying on distance and time to heal what had torn them apart. To make matters worse, after the couple had nearly reconciled and Sonni turned up in Springfield. Reva had to watch as the love of her life embrace, remarry, and impregnate the good lady doctor. As many alarms as she sounded in the name of warning, Reva was brushed of as jealous and vindictive. Wounded beyond repair, she found solace for with Alan Spaulding whom she did marry much to Josh’s chagrin.
He shut his eyes against her anger from 20 years ago however the truth was still there needling him. She tries hard, and no matter what he still judges her so very harshly no matter how she had sacrificed. Pain and sorrow were his only companions as he drifted into a much needed nap.
****************************************************************** ***********************************
Olivia had been in a foul mood indeed. For days now, Josh had been distant and uncommunicative and she had all she could take of this attitude. After interrogating Wanda, Josh’s wacky but loyal secretary, she was finally gifted with the knowledge of his whereabouts. It seemed he was at the hospital—STILL—and had been all night.
Now Olivia stood at the door to Reva’s room. She had hoped that whore was not going to challenge her today. She had no patience for that pathetic woman and her fictional love affair with Josh that had truly ended when they were children. If she cared about her at all, Olivia may have felt pity for the used up dishrag of a woman.
Pushing into the room, she had to cover her mouth to stifle the gasp she emitted. Yes it seemed that Reva was beaten up and looked quite nasty, but Josh was nearly lying in bed with her! Olivia had to put a stop to that right now.
“Josh!” Olivia whispered as loudly as possible. He jerked up and looked around in a groggy state. Remembering where he was and confronted with the ghastly appearance of his ex-wife which proved that what had transpired before was not a dream. It was a living nightmare.
Gathering his wits, Josh placed the damning letter back in the folder he had held all night. Fixing his face as best he could, Josh turned to meet Olivia’s shocked expression.
“Yes” calmly he answered his annoyed wife.
“Have you been here all night?” she questioned—her tone rising.
Josh stood slowly and walked over to Olivia. “Could we please step outside? I know Reva would probably appreciate the quiet” he said thoughtfully. Outrage bloomed on Olivia’s face and Josh had to suppress his glee at causing her a bit of trouble. She opened and shut her mouth a couple of times before she allowed Josh to steer her from the room.
After they had gone into the waiting area, Olivia spun around and confronted Josh with a glare that would have set all of Springfield on fire.
“Well?!?!?” she nearly yelled. “When were you going to let me in on where you were? Do you even care to know I was worried for you? Do you know what I had to deal with concerning the Harbor Project investment? I had to save our necks Josh—AGAIN!” she seethed. Her anger was all consuming and deprived her of noticing her surroundings. If she had controlled herself, she would have picked up on the coldness Josh displayed. She may have had a glimpse into the fact that her rantings had only the affect of making him very, very angry.
Josh stowed the folder safely in his brief case with a trembling hand then directly marched up to Olivia and …kissed her. It was a hard, short kiss devoid of any emotion on his part but it was enough to shut her up so he did not have to resort to raising his hand to a woman for the first time in his life. Olivia melted into her husband, thankful for the attention. Josh looked longingly had Reva’s room wishing he could be with her.
“I’m sorry I made you worry. I should have been there to support you” he lied. “We should go home now. I can pay better attention to you there without this Reva related drama. You, as my wife, are my priority.” He knew those precise words would make Olivia happy. Olivia snuggled into her husband; thankful he was seeing sense and walked arm-in-arm with him out the door. Josh did his best to tamp down the rising bile in his throat due to the proximity of this woman currently making his skin crawl. Luckily he possessed a blinding smile that was guaranteed to convince the world that he was just fine.
They were laughing. It was harsh laughter, not heartfelt joy but rather evil. There was a man buzzing in her ear. ‘Tramp’, ‘Whore’, and ‘Worthless’ were the only words she could make out. There was an overwhelming pain in her arms as they were being yanked on from behind. She tried to scream but the wind was suddenly knocked right out of her by a blow to the chest. It toppled her to the ground sending her torturers into even more eerie peels of laughter.
Now she was cold, her body ached for the immense beating she had already taken from her captors. Her face we sure bore many bruises she could barely feel her cheeks anymore. Her arms as they had been tied for hours and were still behind her back as she had fallen. She wished as hard as she could that this was just a dream. Sadly, her wish was interrupted as a knee roughly split her legs apart. ‘Oh no…no not to me no please no!’ she could hear herself say. A large hand covered her mouth and nose nearly suffocating her. She tried to fight, to bite, to get away…but there was no defense. The man was twice her size. Her chances for overpowering him were nil. She could feel her arms nearly breaking has he thrust himself into her. ‘It’s nothing less than you deserve you man stealing trollup’ he rasped as continued his carnal assault. She fiercely screamed into his hand as tears ran unchecked down her face. He roughly dug his fingers into her hip to get more leverage causing even more pain. His breath was so ragged as he came at her with increased speed and ferocity.
‘Remember this next time you parade your ass where you don’t belong and taking what’s rightfully someone else’s you pathetic piece of trash’ he cautioned her pointedly after he had finished his attack. To put a finer point on his point, he spat directly into Reva’s face and delivered another brutal slap that made her head spin.
Reva woke from her nightmare and stared wildly around the room. Billy, Marah, and Shayne where standing back at the window watching while the doctors worked on her. Marah’s head was buried in her uncle’s chest while Shayne steadily shook. Apparently the stress of her dream had triggered a tachycardia episode causing a code blue emergency. Internally Reva tried to slow her breathing and heed the doctor’s advice. She had to live in order to chisel those looks from her family’s faces. She had to be strong now she could not leave her kids. What she experienced would have to wait.
Slowly, her body began to cooperate with the drugs and with Reva’s own stubborn will. She conjured up the strength to focus on the window. Reva gave her gang the thumbs up sign. She was greeted with the brightest smiles in the world as Billy hugged his niece and nephew so very close. ‘That a girl, Reva’ Billy thought. A tear rolled wondered down her face onto the pillow—this was the closest feeling of happiness she had experienced in days.
Across town, Annie Dutton strolled into a court room to voluntarily face a judge. Her face was in its original form from years past, stunning the gallery entirely. After a side bar, there was clearly no evidence to detain her and her previous record of drug dealing had been expunged in Ohio. Shockingly Annie was sentenced to time served for her former misdeeds. Smugly and with purpose, she walked out of the courtroom a free woman—ready to take up residence in a newly purchased penthouse.
