CHAPTER SIX
Julie Drove Dave Home and helped him inside his small apartment. “This place is smaller than my place. I bet it works perfect for you though with no one to share your life with. Now I don’t know about you but I'm starving. Do you like pizza?” Dave was still in a state of shock and could only shake his head yes as Julie pulled out her cell phone and called a local pizza place for a large supreme pizza and a two liter bottle of soda. Dave fell asleep again after they finished off the pizza and soda.
Julie put a pillow under Dave's head and covered with a light blanket after carefully propping up his bad leg. Once this was done she cleaned up the remains of their first dinner together and threw it into a small trashcan in the kitchen area. Julie took time to look over the entire apartment while Dave slept. Everything was put away neatly and even his dirty laundry was in a basket ready for the wash.
With a little more searching she found where he kept his diapers and all his changing supplies. She was curious what they looked like so she pulled one out and took a good close look at it. The diaper was much thicker and larger than any baby diaper she had ever seen. It also had four tapes instead of two and a wetness indicator on it. She put it back away as she heard Dave crying out in his sleep.
She heard him cry out for his mother and then saw him sit bolt upright and begin to cry. She walked over to him and put her arms around him and held him as he cried himself back to sleep. She wondered what had happened to his mother that it affected him so badly this late in life. She held him as he thrashed around in the throes of another nightmare. This one seemed to involve his father.
Hearing him screaming for his dad not to hit him and his mom again made her feel sorry for him. Dave threw up his arms to cover his face as she heard him scream out, “I'm sorry daddy! I'm sorry! Don't hit me again daddy! I'll be good daddy!” Dave began to try to curl up into a ball as tears rolled down his face.
He screamed again as his nightmare got worse. “No mommy, don't go! Please don't go! It's my fault mommy! It's my fault! Mommy mommy mommy! Wake up please mommy wake up!” Dave shook as sobs racked his body. Julie was horrified by what she had heard and began to wonder what had happened to him as a little boy that would cause such horrible nightmares.
Dave finally came fully awake and was still crying as Julie held him. It took him a half hour to get his emotions under control before he could finally speak. “I was ten years old and coming back from playing at the park with my best friend Timmy when the accident happened. A drunk driver ran the red light at high speed and hit us both.
Timmy died a few days after the accident and I was left in a coma for several months. I awoke in the hospital to the sad fact of having to wear diapers the rest of my life. My left leg is messed up also due to the accident. My mother and father divorced a year after the accident because of the huge medical bills and a suborn insurance company. My father got drunk a lot after the accident and would beat on my mother and me. Two years after they divorced, my mother took her own life after getting drunk. She told me it was all my fault she had lost everything and hoped I burned in hell. She opened several pill bottles and took them while telling me how much it was all my fault.
She fell to the floor after about twenty minutes as I sat and cried while trying to make her wake up again. I was so frightened that if I left her she would not come back so I held her for three days and never left her side even after she had died. After it sank in that she was dead I blamed myself and tried to kill myself with a knife across my wrists. I almost succeeded to. I bled out almost completely when a neighbor noticed me sitting next to my mother and bleeding badly.
She broke a window to get to me and save me. She wrapped towels around both my wrists and called 911. She held my hands tightly as I cried and begged to go see my mother while trying to tear the rags away so I could die. I passed out shortly after that and cried when I woke up in a hospital still alive. I spent a year in the mental hospital until they deemed me safe enough to be sent home to my father.
Things went well for a while until about three years late he got laid off from his job. He started drinking heavily and then began to hit me with whatever was handy while telling me it was all my fault. After being beat so bad one night that I almost died the state took me away from him and put me in foster care.
I went from one family to another through the years due to my having to wear diapers. Every time I tried to date someone they would find out I wore diapers and soon everyone else would know and harass me about it. It cost me a few jobs as well once an employer found out. After a while I stopped trying to ever find anyone and avoided all unnecessary contact with women. I stopped trying to make friends as well since they would all torment me about my diapers when they found out.
Every once in a while I have the worst dreams possible and it hurts more than you can know. You get tired of being alone but never bother to try to find anyone. You get to the point that you don't believe in love. Anytime I see a pretty girl it hurts to know I can never have anyone. As a result of this I stay alone all the time to avoid getting used and hurt again. It's not a good life, but I move from place to place a lot to avoid the problems when someone finds out about my secret shame.
I'm good with computers so After I got the insurance company in court I sued them for a huge amount of money so I could afford to go to school and have money to afford what I need. I was awarded a very large settlement in court and as a result don’t actually have to go to school or even work if I choose not to. I can buy almost anything I want except for one thing that can never be bought.”
Julie held him close then kissed him deeply. “Thank you for sharing that. It must have taken a lot to trust me enough to talk about it. I can't imagine what it must have been like growing up like that and having such a bad time of it. I'm not going anywhere if it helps ease your mind. But we are going to have to change you or you will flood the whole place.” Julie kissed him again and got up to get him a diaper and some wipes.
She undid the tapes on his diaper and began wiping him down when he got excited again from being touched by someone else. This resulted in the two of them making love for almost four hours before he finally got changed into a clean diaper. Julie smiled as she held him while laying next to him. “I'm getting spoiled being here. I could grow to like being made love to so well. You take your time unlike all my past boyfriends and you even trust me with your deepest secrets. I think I'm hooked.” They both laughed and snuggled closer as they fell asleep in each other's arms.
Jill's call woke them both up early the next morning. “Sorry I forgot to call you last night but something strange and good has happened. Lets just say you were right more than you know about what you told me. It's a long road ahead of us but I think I'm addicted to taking that road. That tutoring I told you about was wonderful.
Well listen, I'll explain more later, but right now someone I know needs some help with something important so I'll call you back later. Oh, before I go can you grab my lessons today from my classes and drop them off here at Dave's. He has a broken leg currently and is still recovering from his other injuries so he has to have someone stay with him at all times for a while. Thanks Jill. I owe you one.”
Jill hung up the phone and muttered, “Bless you both Julie. It's about damned time you finally found a nice guy who treats you right. Bless you both.” She looked at the ring on her finger that Greg had given her last night and smiled as she imagined the surprise on Julies face when she saw it.
