quite busy in here a little later. The
Buckeyes game is on, they are playing against Michigan
tonight. It’s a big local rivalry game.”
    “ Aye, that sounds guid tae me. I
like basketball,” Scott said smiling, looking at Chris.
    “ It’s yer birthday mate, whatever
yer want tae do is fine with me.”
    “Happy birthday Scott. You didn’t
tell me it was your birthday. I won’t ask how old you are,” Sam said cheekily,
smiling at Scott.
    Scott smiled back at her. Chris liked to tease him about his
age too, he was a couple of years younger than Scott and frequently liked to
remind him of that. The bar started to fill up for the game. Sam returned to
work since there were new customers coming in to take care of.
    “She seems nice,” Chris commented.
    “Aye, she is a nice lass . I’ve
talked tae her a few times afore.”

 
    Their conversation was interrupted by Scott’s phone. He
received a text from Katie. His face went pale as he read it. She claimed she
had an abortion and there was no need for Scott to worry about the baby anymore.
It was a short text and gave very little information. Scott knew it was most
likely just more lies and games, but still, that little voice in the back of
his mind told him that she could be telling the truth. He didn’t really feel
like celebrating anymore. Was Katie really lying to him and doing all these
nasty things? How could he have misjudged her this badly? He really thought she
was a good, nice person. He was usually so good at judging a person’s
character. He desperately needed to find out the truth, but how? This was
something that was going to continue to bother him but he wasn’t sure what he
could do about it. He didn’t want to call her, because if she was lying then
that was what she would want. But, what choice did he have? How else could he
find out the truth? Scott was upset, but he knew it was his last night with
Chris so he tried to put it out of his mind and enjoy the evening with his
friend.

    Three Months Later

 
      It was now mid May , the weather in Ohio was really warming up. Flowers
were blooming and all the trees were green again. It was a Thursday evening and
Scott was driving home from work. He had found a job at a new fitness center
that had opened the previous month in Columbus. It was about a thirty minute
drive but Scott enjoyed it, and he needed the money. He was teaching kickboxing
again, like he had done many years before. He taught three classes a night,
three days a week, to lots of different age groups. Starting with four and five
year olds and continuing right the way up to adult classes. Also on Friday
evenings he taught a women’s only self-defense class. Scott liked meeting new
people, and although he would have preferred something a little closer to home,
he was happy with his four evenings a week working arrangement. He especially
enjoyed teaching the younger children, they made him
laugh a lot.

 
    Scott also had his appointment with the Neurologist, in
March. It went very well. He was told that everything looked good. The doctor
wanted to see him again in September, just to make sure.

 
    He never heard anything directly from Katie. But, he ran into
her Mom at a mall in Columbus, a few weeks earlier. It was an accidental, unexpected
meeting. They happened to pass each other in a store and she informed him of a
few things about Katie. She moved out of her parent’s house. Plus, she was now
living with a very undesirable character near Mansfield, and was working two
cleaning jobs. The girls still lived with Katie’s parents. Apparently, there
was no room for them at her new boyfriends, yet! Scott learned that her new man
was very abusive and had a long police record. Apparently, he used to have a
construction business but received a very poor reputation for being an
unreliable builder and never finishing the jobs. So he turned to dealing drugs.
He was
