The Silver Linings Playbook Chapter 7

I Fear Him More Than Any Other Human Being After I came back to New Jersey, I thought I was protected, in light of the fact that I didn't think Kenny G could leave the awful spot, which I understand is senseless now †on the grounds that Kenny G is very gifted and clever and an incredible power to be dealt with. I have been dozing in the loft since it is so fiercely hot up here. After my folks hit the sack, I climb the steps, turn off the ventilation fan, slip into my old winter camping bed, zipper it up so just my face is uncovered, and afterward sweat away the pounds. Without the ventilation fan running, the temperature climbs rapidly, and soon my camping cot is doused with sweat and I can feel myself getting more slender. I had done this for a few evenings, and nothing weird or uncommon occurred by any means. However, in the upper room today around evening time I'm perspiring and perspiring and perspiring, and through the murkiness, out of nowhere I hear the hot synthesizer harmonies. I keep my eyes shut, murmur a solitary note, and quietly tally to ten, realizing that I am just fantasizing like Dr. Patel said I may, yet Kenny smacks me over the face, and when I open my eyes, there he is in my folks' upper room, his wavy mane of hair haloed like Jesus. The impeccably tanned temple, that nose, that interminable five o'clock shadow and sharp facial structure. The best three catches of his shirt are fixed with the goal that you can see a little chest hair. Mr. G probably won't appear to be malevolent, however I dread him more than some other person. â€Å"How? How could you find me?† I ask him. Kenny G winks at me and afterward puts his shining soprano sax to his lips. I shudder, despite the fact that I am soaked in sweat. â€Å"Please,† I implore him, â€Å"just leave me alone!† In any case, he takes a full breath and his soprano sax begins to sing the brilliant notes of â€Å"Songbird† †and promptly I'm upstanding in my camping cot, dully hammering the impact point of my correct hand into the little white scar over my correct eyebrow, attempting to make the music stop †Kenny G's hips are influencing directly before my eyes †with each cerebrum shock I'm hollering, â€Å"Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!† †the finish of his instrument is in my face, beating me with smooth jazz †I feel the blood hurrying up into my temple †Kenny G's performance has arrived at a peak †blast, blast, blast, blast †And afterward my mom and father are attempting to control my arms, yet I'm shouting, â€Å"Stop playing that tune! Simply stop! Please!† At the point when my mom gets thumped to the floor, my dad kicks me hard in the stomach †which makes Kenny G disappear and slaughters the music †and when I fall back panting for air, Dad hops on my chest and punches me in the cheek, and unexpectedly my mother is attempting to pull Dad off me and I'm crying like a child; my mom is shouting at my dad, instructing him to quit hitting me, and afterward he's off me and she's revealing to me everything will be alright significantly after my dad has punched me in the face as hard as possible. â€Å"That's it, Jeanie. He's returning to that medical clinic in the first part of the day. First thing,† my dad says, and afterward steps down the steps. I can barely believe, I'm crying so boisterously. My mom plunks down close to me and says, â€Å"It's alright, Pat. I'm here.† I put my head in my mom's lap and weep well into the night as Mom strokes my hair. At the point when I open my eyes, the ventilation fan is back on, sun is spilling through the screen in the closest window, and Mom is as yet stroking my hair. â€Å"How did you sleep?† she asks me, compelling a grin. Her eyes are red and her cheeks are streaked with tears. For a subsequent it feels ideal to lie close to my mother, the heaviness of her little hand on my head, her delicate voice waiting in my ear, however soon the memory of what happened the prior night compels me to sit up †and afterward my heart is beating and an influx of fear flows through my appendages. â€Å"Don't send me back to the terrible spot. I'm heartbroken. I'm so heartbroken. Please,† I beseech her, begging all that I have, on the grounds that that is the amount I despise the awful spot and cynical Dr. Timbers. â€Å"You're remaining right here with us,† Mom says †looking at me without flinching as she does when she is coming clean †and afterward she kisses me on the cheek. We go down to the kitchen, where she cooks me some scrumptious eggs mixed with cheddar and tomatoes, and I really swallow the entirety of my pills since I believe I owe it to Mom in the wake of wrecking her and upsetting my dad. I am stunned when I take a gander at the clock and see it is as of now 11:00 a.m. So I start my exercise when my plate is spotless, twofold planning everything just to stay aware of my daily schedule.
