DIANE D The Musical Drama - Volume 1 - Part 2
The following week, Principal Cole, Officer Martell, Jessica and Vanessa are all in the backroom of the police station standing and surrounding Margarita and Marcus as Margarita and Marcus sit on chairs facing each other with Marcus still holding his crutches. Margarita says to them, “Well, Diane has been going to counseling.”
“We heard,” Officer Martell says. “What happened when she went to counseling?”
“Well the doctors put her under hypnosis.”
“What?” everyone else says.
“The doctors put Diane D under hypnosis?” Jessica asks.
“Yes they did,” Margarita says.
“Well what did they find out?” Vanessa asks.
“Well while Diane was under hypnosis, she was saying to the doctor, that she remembers standing at the edge of the school hallway angrily staring at Marcus while Marcus was way down the middle of the hallway. Then she said while she was staring down the middle of the hallway at Marcus, all of a sudden, Marcus and the entire hallway area disappeared.”
“What?” everyone says.
“Diane D said Marcus and the entire hallway area disappeared?” Principal Cole asks.
“Yes, that’s what she said,” Margarita says. “She said she was wondering what happened to Marcus and the hallway area, wondering where did Marcus go and disappeared to and was wondering where did the hallway go and disappeared to.”
“She was wondering where did I go and disappeared to?” Marcus nervously says. “I didn’t go anywhere! I was still right there in the hallway!”
“Well from Diane‘s point of view, you and the hallway area disappeared. The next thing Diane says she remembers, is finding her soul or spirit wandering the universe.”
“What?” everyone else says.
“Diane D found her soul or spirit wandering the universe?” Principal Cole asks. “You mean out-of-body experience?”
“Yes,” Margarita says. “Diane said she didn’t know what her soul or spirit was doing out there in the universe at that moment and did not know why her soul or spirit was out there at that time. So from what my family and I and the doctors learned during Diane’s hypnosis, is that she does not remember attacking Marcus, she does not remember chasing him down the third floor school hallway, she does not remember Marcus throwing any objects at her, she does not remember chasing him in the stairwell, she does not remember kicking and banging the school lobby door wide open then bursting into the school lobby acting like she was about to attack Marcus while he was laying on the stretcher, she did not know or remember how she got the bruises on her body, she does not remember getting back into the van with my family and she did not know why her face was bruised and bleeding until my family and I told her about it later on.”
“See!” Marcus shouts. “I told you all that I think Diane D’s soul or spirit was gone away from her body and wasn’t inside her body anymore! I told y‘all that!”
“Miss Margarita,” Jessica says. “If Diane D’s soul or spirit wasn’t inside her body and was wandering the universe during the time Marcus got attacked, then who’s the evil soul, spirit or entity that was inside her body during those vicious assaults and attacks! Who‘s the evil soul, spirit or entity that attacked Marcus? Were the doctors able to bring this other soul, spirit or entity out?”
“They tried to,” Margarita says. “But didn’t succeed.”
“Do they think there is another soul or spirit taking over Diane D?”
“Yes, the doctors do think that there is a possibility, that Diane might be a victim of a Split Personality Disorder.”
“What?!” everyone else says.
“Victim of a Split Personality Disorder?!” Vanessa says.
“The doctors think that Diane D might have Split Personality?!” Officer Martell asks.
“Yes they do,” Margarita says.
“Oh my God!” Jessica, Principal Cole and Vanessa say.
“See?” Principal Cole says. “I was right.”
“I thought so too,” Vanessa says.
“What makes them think that Miss Margarita?” Officer Martell asks.
“Well due to Diane’s violent and vicious outbursts in the past, when she attacked those police officers and those security guards, landing some of them in the hospital,” Margarita says, “then attacking the correction officers while they were trying to put her and keep her inside the jail cell and she winds up not remembering any of that, and due to the fact that she had violent and vicious attacks on other people in the past and not remember those violent and vicious attacks, and due to the recent fact that Diane had a violent and vicious attack on Marcus on that third floor school hallway and in the school lobby while he was laying in the stretcher and she doesn’t remember any of that, and due to the fact, that she had such a caring and compassionate heart for the little boy who has leukemia when she thought he existed, the doctors think that maybe she might have two different personalities.”
“Two different personalities?” Principal Cole asks.
“Yes, in her case, the doctors think that there might be two different souls, spirits or personalities sharing the same body.”
“What?” everyone says.
“Two different souls, spirits or personalities sharing the same body?” Jessica asks.
“Yes,” Margarita says. “One soul, spirit or personality that’s normal and the other soul, spirit or personality that’s violent and vicious.”
“One soul, spirit or personality that’s normal and the other soul, spirit or personality that’s violent and vicious?” Vanessa asks.
“Yes.”
“Oh my God.”
“The doctors think that Diane’s normal soul, spirit or personality loves and cares about children and have a compassion for children, and they think that a violent and vicious soul, spirit or personality that comes and takes over her body would literally harm a child or anybody else, if something or someone annoys that personality and triggers that personality to come into her body and take over.”
“Wow,” Officer Martell, Principal Cole and Jessica say.
“My goodness Miss Margarita,” Principal Cole says. “So the doctors are saying, that by Marcus confessing to Diane D that it was him and his brother who wrote that phony letter to her family about the little boy who has leukemia, telling Diane D that the little boy she came all the way to the school for never existed, having Diane D realize that she and her family had been fooled and tricked into coming to the school, having Diane D realize that she shopped around and bought toys, gifts and fruit for nothing, having Diane D realize that she and her family brought all that stuff to the school for nothing, having Diane D realize that she will never get to meet or see the little boy who has leukemia, and having Diane D realize that she and her family wasted their time and came all the way to the school for nothing, triggered the violent and vicious personality to come into Diane D’s body and take over her body?”
“I believe so,” Margarita says.
“So in other words, Marcus himself triggered that violent, vicious personality to come into Diane D’s body and take over her body?”
“I’m afraid he did.”
“Oh no!” Marcus frighteningly says.
“The doctors believe that when Diane’s soul or spirit got angry at Marcus and left her body, the violent and vicious soul or spirit came into her body, took over her body and wind up finishing Marcus off, doing a job on him.”
“Oh my goodness,” Principal Cole says.
“The doctors believe that when the other soul or spirit finished dealing with Marcus, that soul or spirit left Diane’s body while Diane‘s body was riding in the van with my family, that’s when Diane’s soul or spirit came back to her physical body and she wakes up finding herself in the van.”
“That’s why Diane D doesn’t remember getting back into the van with your family?”
“Yes that‘s why.”
“So the two souls or spirits would not be inside Diane D’s body at the same t
ime?” Jessica asks.
“I don’t think so.”
“Miss Margarita,” Vanessa says. “Are you saying that the two souls or spirits would never meet each other?”
“I don’t know.”
“Miss Margarita,” Principal Cole says. “Do you think there is another personality taking over Diane D?”
“Me, myself, I don’t really know,” Margarita sadly says. “I don’t know anything about any other soul, spirit, evil personality or any evil entity during the time Marcus was attacked. The main thing my family and I know, is that whenever Diane gets into these violent outbursts and gets out of control, she hardly ever remembers any of them and thinks my family and I are lying about her violent outbursts and vicious attacks when we tell her about them.”
“So she doesn’t remember any of her violent and vicious outbursts at all?”
“Around eighty or ninety percent of the time, she does not remember them. Then whenever somebody shows her a video of her violent and vicious rages, she claims that it‘s not her in the video.”
“What?” everyone says.
“She will claim that it’s not her in the video, even though she’s looking right at herself?” Officer Martell asks.
“Yes,” Margarita says. “Even though she’s looking right at herself, she will still claim it’s not her in the video, because she says she doesn‘t do stuff like that.”
“Wow. I’m so sorry what your family is going through with Diane D Miss Margarita.”
“So am I,” Principal Cole says. “Miss Margarita, if Diane D doesn’t remember getting back into the van with your family that night and her soul or spirit wasn’t back inside her body until your family was already driving away from the school, then that means this other spirit or personality got into the van with your family!”
“I guess it did,” Margarita says.
“Wow,” everyone else says.
“Miss Margarita,” Principal Cole says. “How was this other spirit or personality behaving, when it got inside the van with your family? Did your family say how Diane D was behaving when she got back in the van with them?”
“Yeah,” Margarita says. “My family said that Diane was so full of anger when she got back into the van with them! They said she opened and banged the front passenger door, got into the van with such an angry attitude, then slammed the front passenger door and pound her fist hard into the dashboard and wind up bashing it in!”
“Yeah we heard about that part.”
“After she bashed the dashboard in, she bashed the windshield!”
“What?” everyone says.
“She bashed the windshield too?!” Officer Martell asks.
“Yes!”
“Wow,” everyone says.
“Does she remember doing that part?” Principal Cole asks.
“No, she doesn’t remember bashing the windshield either!” Margarita says. “My family said they told Diane to calm down!”
“They told her to calm down? They had no idea that another personality had taken over her body at that moment?”
“No I guess not.”
“Wow.”
“Two days later, my family told Diane about her behavior in the van that night and she has no memory of it.”
“She has no memory of her behavior at all while she was getting back in the van with your family?”
“She has no memory of getting back into the van period. She said after her soul or spirit was wandering the universe, her physical body was already inside the van when her soul or spirit was approaching back to it. Therefore, she has no memory of getting back in the van at all.”
“Wow that is so strange,” Officer Martell says.
“It’s very strange,” Principal Cole says.
“Miss Margarita,” Marcus says. “If Diane D remembers standing at the edge of the school hallway angrily staring at me while I was still way down the middle of the hallway then saw that I and the entire hallway area disappeared, then finds her soul or spirit wandering the universe, that means her soul or spirit was actually the one that disappeared and left her body, right?”
“Right.”
“If her soul or spirit left her body while I was still way down the middle of the hallway, that means by the time I started to come towards the edge of the hallway where she was, to get back to Principal Cole’s office, her soul or spirit was already gone! If her soul or spirit was already gone by the time I got close to her and she was giving me that angry stare like she wanted to kill me, that means it was that evil vicious entity or personality staring at me as I was coming towards the corner of the hallway! That means it was that evil vicious entity or personality who kept blocking my path when I was trying to get back to Principal Cole’s office! That means it was that evil vicious entity or personality who kung-fu kicked me breaking my arm and wrist, attacking me, drop kicking me down the hallway, breaking my ribs, kung fu kicking my cell phone right out of my hands, refusing to let me get my cell phone, kicking and banging the stairwell door, chasing me down the stairwell, kicking and banging the school lobby door wide open, bursting into the school lobby acting like it was about to attack me while I was laying in the stretcher! That means it was that evil vicious entity or personality who got back into the van with your family, riding in the van with your family, that’s when that evil vicious entity or personality left Diane D’s body and Diane D’s soul or spirit came back and got back into her physical body, then Diane D wakes up back inside her physical body finding herself back in the van riding with your family! So since Diane D‘s soul or spirit was wandering the universe and wasn‘t around, that means it was that violent and vicious soul, spirit or personality doing all that stuff to me!” Marcus starts to cry uncontrollably.
“Marcus, the doctors do say, that it seems like the violent and vicious soul, spirit or personality might be protective of Diane.”
“What?” everyone else says.
“The doctors say that it seems like the violent and vicious soul, spirit or personality might be protective of Diane D?” Officer Martell asks. “What do they mean?”
“Well the doctors say that it seems like whenever Diane gets upset, annoyed or angry about something or someone, the violent and vicious soul, spirit or personality would come into her body, push her soul or spirit out of her body and take over her body and wind up becoming violent and vicious towards whatever or whoever made Diane upset,” Margarita says.
“That‘s what the doctors say it seems like?”
“Yes, so the doctors think that when Diane realized Marcus and his brother tricked her into coming to his school then she winds up getting shocked, hurt and angry by it, the violent and vicious soul, spirit or personality, didn’t like it! So that‘s when the violent and vicious soul, spirit or personality came to Diane’s body while she was standing in the corner of that school hallway, took her soul or spirit out of her body without her control and put her soul or spirit out into the universe for the time being, came into her physical body and took over her physical body in the school hallway, gave Marcus an angry stare like it wanted to kill Marcus, then took care of Marcus by harming and attacking him, refusing to let him go and probably would have done more harm and damage to Marcus, if Marcus hadn‘t escape into the stairwell!”
“Wow,” everyone else says.
“My goodness Miss Margarita!” Jessica shouts. “If this violent and vicious soul, spirit or personality would have done more harm and damage to Marcus like maybe even kill him, how would Diane D’s soul, spirit or personality feel about it?!”
“Most likely Diane’s soul, spirit or personality wouldn’t remember killing Marcus, if that would have happened, just like her soul, spirit or personality doesn’t remember attacking Marcus at all! So if Diane doesn’t remember attacking Marcus at all, most likely, she’s not going to remember killing him either, if that would have happened.”
“My God! Miss Margarita, are the doctors planning to hypnotize Diane D again
?”
“Yes, they’re gonna try again to see if they can bring this other personality out of her, to find out why this other personality attacked Marcus.”
“Well if those doctors do hypnotize Diane D again, they need to step up their game and try harder to bring this other personality out of her! They probably didn’t succeed in bringing this other personality out of Diane D the first time because, maybe they didn’t try hard enough!”
“Those doctors did try hard enough to bring the other personality out of Diane Miss Whitley, my family and I were there! Now if you think, you can do a better job than those doctors, to try and bring this other personality out of Diane yourself, then go right ahead, I will not try to stop you! Maybe you just might succeed in bringing this other personality out of Diane! After all, Marcus already succeeded in bringing this other personality out of Diane! He met that other personality face to face! And the meeting between Marcus and that other personality wasn’t a good one. That was a bad experience for Marcus! That other personality had no problem in harming him at all! You want to try next and meet this other personality face to face?! If you want to meet this other personality face to face, it’s simple! All you have to do, is go right up to Diane and try to shock, hurt or upset her, the same way your son did and you might just trigger that other personality to come out of her. Now if you do succeed in triggering this other personality out of Diane so you can confront that personality and challenge it by asking it ‘why did it beat the crap out of your son‘, I wouldn‘t want to be around when that happens.”
Jessica frighteningly looks at Margarita. She then says, “I’m sorry Miss Margarita, I didn’t mean to say that about the doctors.” She then cries, “It’s just that I want to get to the bottom of this whole thing and find out, why that other personality attacked and injured my child, that’s all.”
“I just told you all why the doctors think, that the other personality attacked Marcus. They think that the other personality didn’t like the fact, that Marcus had shocked, hurt and upset Diane and wanted to attack him for it.”
Everyone frighteningly stares at Margarita.
Margarita then says, “That’s why the doctors want Diane committed to a state hospital for a while.”
“What!” everyone says.
“The doctors want Diane D committed to a state hospital?!” Principal Cole asks.
“I‘m afraid so,” Margarita says.
“For how long?”
“I don’t know for how long. It can be short term or long term, it depends.”
“Wow. I’m so sorry for what we just heard Miss Margarita. I’m so sorry that Diane D is a victim of Split Personality.”
“Yeah me too,” Vanessa says. “Especially of a personality that would harm a child! So sorry that your family has to go through that with Diane D Miss Margarita.” Margarita sadly looks at Vanessa as Vanessa says, “Hopefully, Diane D will get the help and treatment she needs!”
“Miss Margarita, what about your family’s upcoming concert?” Principal Cole asks. “Will your family have the concert while Diane D is committed in the state hospital?”
“No we’re not going to have the concert while Diane’s committed,” Margarita says. “Diane is going to be released from the state hospital to perform at the next concert.”
“She’ll be let out to perform?”
“Yes. We already told Diane that she can perform at the concert if she gets herself evaluated. We’re not going to break that promise to her. If we break that promise to her, the next thing you know, is that she’ll go berserk again!”
“And then try to come after me again!” Marcus shouts.
“What do you mean?”
“I heard about what happened Miss Margarita!”
“What are you talking about?”
“Principal Cole told me and my family, that when you and your family told Diane D that she is banned from performing at the next concert, she got so furious and demanded to see me! I heard that she went berserk and was actually trying to go back to my old school to look for me and straighten me out, but eight men had to hold her back! Is it true Miss Margarita? Is it true that Diane D was trying to go back to my old school to look for me and straighten me out because she thinks I‘m lying about her attacking me and thinks I’m causing trouble for her?”
“Yes it‘s true Marcus. It‘s true.”
“See?! She‘s blaming me for herself getting banned, she‘s blaming me! That’s why I didn’t want you and your family to ban Diane D from performing at your next concert Miss Margarita, because I knew she would blame me and want to come after me for it! Thank God Diane D decided to get counseling Miss Margarita, that way you and your family can lift the ban off her and let her perform again, because if she was still banned from performing, she might still try to go back to my old school to look for me! It‘s a good thing I haven’t been going back to that school anymore, that way Diane D can go there and never find me! Thank God you and your family decided to lift the ban off her Miss Margarita! Thank God!”
“Marcus, my family and I didn’t just lift the ban because Diane decided to get counseling, we also lifted the ban because the fans want to see her.”
“The fans want to see her?”
“Yes they do. They’ve been constantly sending letters to my family’s organization since they first heard Diane was banned from performing. And they’ve been approaching me and my family on the streets pleading with us to let Diane perform again.”
“They have?”
“Yes they have.”
“Wow. I bet all her fans hated me when they first found out she got banned from performing! I bet they wrote nasty things about me in their letters!”
“I haven‘t seen anything nasty written about you in any of their letters.”
“You haven’t?”
“No.”
“Well maybe Diane D‘s fans don’t know about me!”
“Marcus, the incident that happened between you and Diane on that third floor school hallway that night was put in the newspapers right after you and your family reported the incident to the police, that’s when the public read and found out about what happened between you and her.”
“They did?”
“Yes they did. If there was anything nasty written about you in any of Diane‘s fan mail, I haven‘t seen or heard of it, neither has anybody in my family.”
“That doesn’t mean they didn’t write nasty things about me! They just know better not to send nasty things about me to her family!”
“Marcus don‘t worry about it, Diane is going to perform at the concert, but after the concert, she has to be back in the state hospital the following two weeks.”
“She does?”
“Yes.”
“Wow,” Principal Cole says. “I’m glad Diane D is getting the help she needs.”
“Yes so am I.” Margarita looks at Marcus and says, “And Marcus?”
“Yes ma’am?” Marcus says.
“Even though Diane says she still does not remember attacking you, she says she would like to apologize to you.”
“What?” everyone says.
“Diane D wants to apologize to me?” Marcus nervously asks.
“Yes that’s what she said,” Margarita says. “She told me to give you the message.”
“She told you to give me the message?”
“Yes she did. She says she doesn‘t know anything about this so called evil personality or so called evil entity that she‘s heard you’ve been talking about, but says she would like to apologize to you just in case she did attack you.”
“What?” everyone says.
“Just in case?” Marcus asks.
“Yes,” Margarita says.
“I don’t believe this! Diane D wants to apologize to me?!”
“Yes. She said she would like to apologize to you face to face.”
“What!” Marcus frighteningly shouts. “Diane D wants to
apologize to me face to face?!”
“That‘s what she said.”
“Wow! I bet the only reason why she’s deciding to apologize to me is because she’s so happy that she’s performing again! If she was still banned from performing, I don’t even think she would want to apologize to me! She would still want to go to my old school to look for me and straighten me out!”
“Marcus, maybe it is a possibility that the only reason why Diane is willing to apologize to you is because she’s so happy to perform again, but can’t you just accept the fact, that she does want to apologize to you?”
“Yeah I guess so. I’m glad she wants to apologize to me. I’m glad that she realizes that it is a possibility that she DID attack me, but…”
“But what?”
“I still fear Diane D!”
“You still fear Diane?”
“Yes I do!”
“Even though she’s willing to apologize to you? Even though she’s going to be committed to a state hospital and get treatment for her mental state, you still fear her?”
“Yes I do! I don’t know when that evil vicious personality or that evil vicious entity might come back into her body and strike again! It might attack me again! I still don’t want to see Diane D ever again! I don’t want to be near her again! I don‘t want to see any images of her again! I don‘t want to see videos of her again, I don‘t want to see her on TV again and I don‘t even want to see any pictures of her again!”
“You don’t?”
“No I don‘t! I don’t want to see any posters of her again and I don’t want to see people wearing images of her on their T-shirts again!”
“Marcus, are you going to fear seeing images of Diane forever?”
“Yes I am! None of you experienced what I experienced on that third floor school hallway that night! Yeah you all heard about it, but none of you were actually there! None of you looked into the eyes of that evil, vicious entity that took over Diane D’s body! None of you met that evil vicious entity face to face! Seeing that evil vicious personality or that evil vicious entity that took over Diane D’s body that night is something I will never forget! That is something that’s going to stay with me for the rest of my life! I still get nightmares about it Miss Margarita! I have to even change schools so I could never see that third floor school hallway again! I don’t even want to see that school building again! Every time I look at or see that school building, it’s going to always remind me of that evil vicious entity I met on that third floor school hallway that night! The evil vicious entity or personality that never once took its eyes off me! The evil vicious personality who’s facial appearance was different, from the Diane D face that I and everybody else know! The evil vicious personality that does harm a child! The evil vicious personality who terrorized and attacked me, breaking my bones and landing me in the hospital! That experience is going to be something that will stay with me and haunt me forever! Even just seeing or looking at Diane D will haunt me forever! Miss Margarita, if I ever see Diane D’s face again, I’m gonna always see the face of that evil, vicious entity that took over her body and attacked me and terrorized me on that third floor school hallway! I don’t ever want to see or look at Diane D’s face ever again!” Marcus starts to cry uncontrollably.
Everyone starts to hold and comfort Marcus as Margarita says, “Marcus you need to get over this phobia that you have of just even looking at or seeing Diane! And to get over this phobia that you have of Diane, maybe you might need some counseling yourself.”
“He already did have counseling Miss Margarita,” Vanessa says.
“He already had counseling?”
“Yeah to get over his phobia of Diane D, but it‘s not working! That’s why he’s going to change schools because of this phobia and the nightmares he has of your granddaughter Diane D!”
“Oh Marcus, you can’t go on through life like this! It’s not good! You might live until you‘re ninety-nine years old! That‘s a long time to go through a phobia like this!”
“Who says I have to live that long Miss Margarita?!” Marcus cries. “With this phobia I have, I might not want to live that long!”
“Marcus please don’t talk like that!”
“I should have never listen to my brother Richard when he said to send your family that phony letter about the little boy who has leukemia, because I’m the one suffering from this! Look where it’s got me! I’m the one with the broken bones! I’m the one who got landed in the hospital! I’m the one with the nightmares and I’m the one with the phobia!” Marcus cries.
“I am so sorry you’re suffering Marcus.”
“And I’m sorry my brother and I ever sent your family that phony letter about the little boy who has leukemia Miss Margarita. Please forgive us.”
“Sure I forgive you and your brother Marcus.”
“Does your family forgive me?”
“Yes my family forgives you, even Diane forgives you.”
“She does?”
“Yes she does.”
“Miss Margarita,” Principal Cole says. “Can I ask you something?”
“Sure Principal Cole. What is it?”
“You said while Diane D was under hypnosis, she said she didn’t know what her soul or spirit was doing out in the universe at that moment and did not know why her soul or spirit was out there at that time. What did she mean by saying at that moment and at that time? It sounds like it might not have been her first time out there in the universe. It sounds like she’s been out there in the universe before.”
“She has.”
“What?” everyone says. Everyone puzzled looks at Miss Margarita.
“What do you mean ‘she has’?” Principal Cole says.
“Well now that the cat is out of the bag, it’s one thing not too many people know about Diane, that only my family and I know about,” Margarita says.
“Oh yeah? And what is that Miss Margarita? What is it about Diane D that only you and your family know about?”
“Well, Diane meditates.”
“What?” everyone says.
“Diane D meditates?” Officer Martell asks.
“Yes,” Margarita says. “She meditates at times in her life.”
“She does?”
“Yes she does.”
“Why does she meditate?” Vanessa asks.
“I don’t really know. For peace of mind I guess.”
“How did she get into meditation?” Jessica asks.
“She learned meditation when my family and I traveled to the Far East many years ago. When my family and I went to the Far East, Diane got very interested in the martial arts there and studied martial arts there.”
“Yeah I heard. Is that where she learned to kung-fu kick?”
“Yes that’s where she learned it. She also got very interested in meditation there and studied meditation there too.”
“She studied meditation in the Far East?”
“Yes.”
“What happens to her when she meditates?” Officer Martell asks.
“She says her soul or spirit is able to leave her body and travel outside of her body.”
“What?” everyone says.
“Diane D’s soul or spirit is able to leave her body and travels outside of her body?” Vanessa asks.
“Yes,” Margarita says.
“While she meditates?”
“Yes while she‘s meditating.”
“Where does her soul or spirit go when her soul or spirit travels outside her body?” Jessica asks.
“She says her soul or spirit wanders the universe and travels to spirit worlds and different dimensions.”
“What?” everyone says.
“Her soul or spirit is able to wander the universe and travel to spirit worlds and different dimensions?” Jessica asks.
“That’s what she says,” Margarita says.
“Do you believe her Miss Margarita.”
“Sort of
.”
“For how long does Diane D say her soul or spirit wanders the universe and travels to spirit worlds and different dimensions?” Principal Cole asks.
“She said she thinks for a few or several minutes.”
“A few or several minutes?”
“That’s the way it seems to her. Then she says she finds her soul or spirit back inside her physical body again.”
“Wow, this is so unbelievable! Is Diane D able to do this with her soul or spirit at will?”
“She said sometimes, not all the time.”
“My goodness,” Vanessa says.
“Miss Margarita?” Principal Cole says, “are you sure that Diane D is not just dreaming when she says she travels outside of her body?”
“I don’t know,” Margarita says, “because after Diane meditates, she will mention to me and my family about things that’s happening in different parts of the world that no one else knows about yet. Then my family and I will hear about it on the news or read it in the newspaper two or three days later and realize that she was right.”
“My God,” Vanessa says. “Miss Margarita, what does Diane D see when her soul or spirit wanders the universe and travels to spirit worlds and different dimensions?”
“She said she has seen people that have passed away.”
“What?” everyone says.
“Diane D has seen people who have passed away?” Vanessa asks. “You mean dead people?”
“Well she said they might be dead in this world, but they’re not dead in the world she has been to,” Margarita says.
“My God Miss Margarita,” Principal Cole says. “How do you know Diane D is not making the part up about seeing deceased people?”
“She says once in a while, she will mention something about the deceased person to that person’s family members that only that person’s family members would know about. Then the deceased person’s family members would freak out and realize that Diane is right.”
“You mean Diane D is like a medium?”
“I don’t know if I would call it that. All I know, is that I rather not get into or be involved when it comes to stuff like that. Stuff like that do kind of creep me out.”
“Wow. Miss Margarita, have you or anyone else in your family ever seen Diane D meditate?”
“Yes, my family and I accidentally caught Diane mediating several times on separate different occasions while she was alone in the room.”
“You did?”
“Yeah.”
“What did you see?”
“Well when I opened the bedroom door and stepped into the room one night, I saw Diane sitting on the floor meditating.”
“You saw Diane D sitting on the floor meditating?”
“Yeah.”
“Then what happened?”
“Nothing. She just continued to meditate.”
“Did she see you or knew you were there?”
“No, I don’t think so.”
“Was she facing you?”
“Yes she was already facing my way, because she was already sitting on the floor facing the door when I walked into the room. Even though she was already facing my way, I don‘t think she saw me because she looked like she was in a trance.”
“What!” everyone shouts.
“Oh my God Miss Margarita!” Marcus shouts. “So you have seen Diane D in this state of trance too!”
“Yes I have.”
“Oh my God!” everyone else says.
“What was Diane D doing when you saw her in a state of trance Miss Margarita?” Officer Martell asks. “Was she acting violent at that time?”
“No she wasn’t acting violent at all,” Margarita says. “She was just sitting there on the floor in a trance with her eyes half closed.”
“That’s the way I saw her eyes!” Marcus shouts, “half closed!”
“Then I held my hand and two fingers out to her and moved my hand and fingers side to side back and forth to see if she sees me.”
“What! That’s exactly what I did to her, held my hand and two fingers out to her and moved my hand and fingers side to side back and forth to see if she sees me! Did Diane D had this blank look in her eyes like she didn’t see you?”
“Yes, she did. It looked like her eyes were looking right through me as if I wasn‘t even there.”
“That’s the same way her eyes looked to me!”
“It looked like her eyes were looking way in the distance behind me.”
“That’s the exact way her eyes looked to me that night!”
“Then I moved my fingers side to side back and forth again to see if she sees me. It still looked like she didn’t see me. She still had a blank look in her eyes like she was looking way in the distance.”
“That’s exactly how her eyes looked to me, looking like they were looking way in the distance! Did she treat you like you were invisible?”
“Yes she did Marcus.”
“Did her facial appearance change when you saw her in a trance? Did Diane D‘s face look different?”
“Yeah sort of.”
“How did her face look different Miss Margarita?” Jessica asks.
“Her eyes looked more puffy and smaller.”
“That’s the way her eyes looked to me!” Marcus shouts. “Real puffy and smaller!”
“Miss Margarita,” Principal Cole says. “If Diane D’s facial appearance changed when you saw her in a state of trance in the room that night, did her voice change too? How did her voice sound?”
“Diane never spoke when I saw her in a state of trance,” Margarita says.
“She never once spoke?”
“Not when I saw her in a state of trance. So I don’t know how her voice would sound in a state of trance.”
“Wow. What about you Marcus? Did you ever hear Diane D’s voice when you saw her in a state of trance on that third floor school hallway that night? Did her voice sound different when her facial appearance changed?”
“No,” Marcus says. “I never heard Diane D’s voice either while she was in a state of trance up in the school hallway, because once she got into a state of trance, she never spoke again after that, she just kept staring at me! The only time I heard her voice again, was when she burst into the school lobby hollering and swearing at me, acting like she was about to attack me right there!”
“I see. Miss Margarita, what else did you see after you caught Diane D meditating?”
“Nothing,” Margarita says. “I decided to step back out the room and leave Diane in peace and closed the door back.”
“Wow Miss Margarita!” Marcus says. “So that means you met that evil, vicious entity or personality too!”
“Marcus, I still don‘t know anything about this evil, vicious entity or evil personality that you claim to have met.”
“You don’t?”
“No. I haven‘t felt it when I saw Diane in a state of trance.”
“Well didn’t Diane D act violent when you saw her in a state of trance?”
“No she didn’t act violent at all. She was just sitting on the floor in a trance meditating.”
“Didn’t she look at you hard the way she looked at me hard?”
“No she never once looked at me directly. She just looked right through me as if I wasn’t there.”
“She never once tried to harm you?”
“No she didn’t.”
Marcus sadly looks at Margarita.
“Miss Margarita,” Officer Martell says. “Have your other family members walked in on Diane D and caught her meditating too?”
“Yes they have.”
“How do y’all feel experiencing something like that?”
“It can be creepy.”
“Wow.”
“Miss Margarita,” Principal Cole says. “How often does Diane D meditates?”
“I think maybe a few or several times a year,” Margarita says
“A few or several times a year?”
&nb
sp; “Yes.”
“And when Diane D meditates, does she usually meditates alone or with somebody else?”
“One time, I did catch her cousin Dana sitting on the floor with Diane while Diane was meditating.”
“What?” everyone says.
“You caught her cousin Dana sitting on the floor with Diane D while Diane D was meditating?” Principal Cole asks.
“Yes,” Margarita says.
“Was her cousin Dana meditating too?”
“I’m not too sure what Dana was doing while she was sitting on the floor with Diane. She had her head leaned back against the edge of the bed with her eyes half closed looking into space while she was facing Diane. Her eyes looked blank also. I couldn‘t tell whether she was asleep or if she was in a trance also.”
“Wow,” everyone else says.
“Did Dana see you or knew you were there?” Principal Cole asks.
“I don’t think so,” Margarita says. “She never once turned my way. She just sat on the floor facing Diane looking into space with her eyes half closed.”
“Are you sure that it’s not drugs that’s making Dana’s eyes and Diane D’s eyes look blank and into space like that? Could it be a possibility that they’re both on drugs?”
“Not that I know or aware of.”
“How many times have you caught Dana sitting on the floor with Diane D while Diane D was meditating?”
“I only caught Dana sitting on the floor with Diane one time. Another time Diane’s dad caught Dana sitting on the floor with Diane while Diane was meditating. Another time Diane’s mom and Diane’s brother Nicolas caught Dana sitting on the floor with Diane while Diane was meditating, but most of the time, Diane be alone while she meditates.”
“I see. Does anyone else in your family meditates besides Diane D and her cousin Dana?”
“No, just those two.”
“I see.”
“Miss Margarita,” Officer Martell says. “When Diane D meditates, around what time of the day does she usually meditates?”
“I don’t know what time of the day Diane usually meditates when I or anybody else in my family is not around,” Margarita says. “All I know is that when I or anybody else in my family catch her meditating, it has always been around the wee hours like one, two or three o’clock in the morning.”
“One, two or three o’clock in the morning? That’s when night or morning time is pitch dark. Do you know why Diane D meditates that time of night or morning Miss Margarita?”
“No I don’t.”
“Miss Margarita,” Vanessa says. “If Diane D is meditating a few or several times a year, traveling outside of her physical body and wandering the universe, isn’t she inviting these other spirits, vicious entities or vicious personalities to come into her physical body and take over her physical body, if she’s not in it or using it? It’s like these other spirits, entities or personalities are thinking, that if Diane D’s soul or spirit is not inside her physical body using it, then they might as well go inside her physical body and use it and behave anyway they want to, like getting out of control, viciously assaulting and attacking people and harming a child. Maybe Diane D should keep her soul or spirit put! Maybe she should keep her soul or spirit grounded right where it is so that these other spirits, vicious entities or vicious personalities won’t have to come into her physical body and take over her physical body when her soul or spirit leaves it temporary! It might be a good idea if Diane D stops meditating altogether, because I think she‘s opening doors for these other spirits or vicious entities to come into her physical body and take over! These spirits or vicious entities might be using her physical body as a portal to harm and attack people! That‘s probably where her superhuman strength be coming from!”
“I don’t know if Diane will ever plan to stop meditating Mrs. Whitley. A few months ago, she was talking about writing a book on meditation.”
“What?” Jessica asks. “Diane D was talking about writing a book on meditation? She wants to write a book?”
“Yes. She told my family and I that she’s planning on writing a book about meditation and wandering the universe, then promote the book on radio shows and TV interviews.”
“What?” Principal Cole says. “Diane D wants to promote the book on radio shows and TV interviews?”
“Yes, but my family and I talked her out of it.”
“You did?”
“Yes. We told Diane that if she wants to write a book, then why don’t she write a book about something else that she does, like personal training.”
“Personal training?”
“Yes.”
“What did she say when you told her to write a book about personal training?”
“She said she was already planning to write about Personal Training as her next book subject after she writes a book about meditation and wandering the universe, but said she’ll work on her personal training book first then get back to her meditation and wandering the universe book later on.”
“So Diane D wants to become an author now?” Vanessa asks.
“I guess so. Well, I have to get going.”
“Okay Miss Margarita,” Officer Martell says. “Hope everything goes well with your family and Diane D.”
“Thank you.” Margarita looks at Marcus and says, “And Marcus?”
“Yes ma’am?” Marcus says.
“Maybe if you would just allow Diane to apologize to you face to face, maybe it will help you overcome this fear you have of just looking at her or seeing images of her.”
“No! I don’t want to see Diane D again! Especially after hearing about her meditations and her soul or spirit traveling to spirit worlds and different dimensions, seeing people that have passed away! I’m more freaked out about her now!”
“So you still don’t want to see her?”
“No I still don’t want to see Diane D, ever!”
“My God Marcus, that is a huge jump.”
“Huge jump? What do you mean?”
“You went from wanting to see Diane so bad, that you and your brother would send a phony letter to my family‘s organization about a little boy who has leukemia, just so my family and I can let Diane come to your school, to not ever wanting to see Diane ever again? You have a right to feel the way you do after the experience you had with Diane in that school hallway, but let me tell you something Marcus, it was that phony letter sent by you and your brother to my family‘s organization, requesting Diane to come to your school that started this whole mess. Remember, it was you and your brother who wrote to us, we didn’t write to you. We only wrote back to the school because we thought the letter came from the school in the first place. We had no idea that the letter came from you and your brother until you decided to tell Diane the truth. The only thing Diane wanted to do when she first saw the letter, was to let the little boy who has leukemia get a chance to meet her before he dies, then meet the little boy’s family and invite him and his entire family over to our place for dinner, that was it. She never expected any of this. Neither did I or my family.” Marcus sadly looks at Margarita. “Well I hope everything goes well with you Marcus.”
“Thank you ma’am.”
“You want to give me a hug? You’re not afraid of me are you?” Marcus sadly looks at Margarita. He then gives Margarita a hug and cries as Margarita tearfully wraps her arms around him. “Everything is going to be okay Marcus,” Margarita says. “Everything is going to be okay.” Margarita and Marcus continue to hug each other.
Margarita and Marcus let go of each other as Marcus cries, “Oh Miss Margarita, I don’t know if I will ever get over this phobia I have of Diane D.”
“I hope in time you can get over this phobia you have of Diane Marcus. I sure hope you can get over this phobia, some day.”
“Whether I get over this phobia or not, people need to be warned.”
“Warned? About what?”
“About Diane D! My warning and
advice for people is, if they ever have to confess anything bad to Diane D, make sure they‘re not alone with her when they confess anything bad to her or else they will meet that evil, vicious entity and wind up like me, or worse!”
“Like you or worse? Please don‘t think something like that is going to happen to someone else Marcus, that’s why Diane is being sent to the state hospital for treatment so something like this won‘t happen to anyone else. And I would like to thank you Marcus.”
“Thank me? Thank me for what?”
“For bringing this horrible incident to me and my family‘s attention. I‘m glad you told us about it. Because of you, we discovered that Diane is a victim of a Split Personality Disorder and she can now get help and treatment for it. I hope and pray the help and treatment works.” Margarita and Marcus sadly look at each other again. Margarita then says, “Well I’m gonna get going now.” Margarita turns to Officer Martell and says, “Officer Martell, here is Diane’s doctor’s report.” Margarita hands Officer Martell a doctor’s report. Officer Martell takes the report as Margarita says, “And I’m going to need your report to bring it to Diane’s doctors.”
“Okay,” Officer Martell says. “You can come with me this way.”
“Okay.” Margarita turns to Principal Cole and says, “Principal Cole, I’ll keep in touch.”
“I’ll walk with you Miss Margarita,” Principal Cole says.
“Okay.” Margarita gets up from the chair. She turns to Marcus, Vanessa and Jessica and says, “Take care.”
“Okay Miss Margarita,” Marcus, Vanessa and Jessica say as Margarita, Officer Martell and Principal Cole turn and head towards the door.
Principal Cole turns to Marcus, Vanessa and Jessica and says, “I’ll be right back.”
“Okay Principal Cole,” Vanessa and Jessica say. Principal Cole turns back forward as he, Margarita and Officer Martell open the door and walk out of it. The door closes behind Principal Cole, Margarita and Officer Martell as Marcus, Vanessa and Jessica, sadly look at each other.
The next day, Vanessa is inside her living room going through some paper work. The telephone rings. Vanessa picks up the telephone receiver. She puts the receiver to her ear and says, “Hello?”
“Hi Vanessa?”
“Yes speaking.”
“It’s me, Miss Margarita.”
“Oh hi Miss Margarita! How are you?”
“I’m doing good. How is everything?”
“Everything is okay so far.”
“That’s good. How is Marcus doing?”
“He’s still the same. He still got this phobia of Diane D.”
“I’m so sorry he’s going through that.”
“Thank you. How is Diane D doing?”
“She’s doing okay so far.”
“She is?”
“Yeah.”
“Wow, that meditation that you were talking about that she does was really mind blowing! I didn’t know that she meditates! I didn’t know that she travels outside of her body either!”
“I told you, nobody knew about that but me and my family, and now you and your family and Officer Martell and Principal Cole know about it.”
“Wow.”
“Tomorrow Diane is going to be committed to the state hospital.”
“Diane D is going to be committed to the state hospital tomorrow?”
“Yes. The doctor and my family are going to drive her there.”
“I’m so sorry that she’s going through that. Will you and your family get to see Diane D often?”
“Yeah, her mom and I are going to take turns and stay with Diane while she’s committed.”
“You are.”
“Yes. The rest of my family will come and see her every week.”
“They are?”
“Yes.”
“Oh that is so wonderful Miss Margarita. At least Diane D has her family to be right there for her. I’m so sorry what she’s going through. I’m sorry for what she and Marcus are going through!”
“So am I. Vanessa, I called you to tell you that after I left the precinct yesterday, I started thinking. Then I had a long talk with my family. I told them all what Marcus is going through with this phobia he has of Diane and everything. My family really felt bad about his phobia of Diane, so we decided to drop the out-of-court settlement against you guys.”
“What!” Vanessa excitingly shouts. “You and your family are going to drop the out-of-court settlement against us?!”
“Yes we are.”
“Oh my goodness! Really?!”
“Yes really.”
“Oh thank you so much Miss Margarita! Thank you so much!”
“I figured both of our families are suffering enough, so therefore, you don’t have to worry about the out-of-court settlement. My family and I decided to squash it.”
“Oh thank you so much Miss Margarita!”
“The only things Mary says your family should pay for is the toys, gifts and fruit that Diane had them spend money on and their travel expense. Mary says your family can just reimburse the money for that.”
“Oh we‘ll definitely pay your family back for the toys, gifts and fruit they all bought for the so called little boy who has leukemia and their travel expense! Thank you so much Miss Margarita, I am so grateful for this! I’m so sorry that Marcus and his brother Richard sent that phony letter about the little boy who has leukemia to your family! The letter that started all this mess!”
“I know.”
“Thank you again Miss Margarita! Tell Mary that we’ll start reimbursing your family next week!”
“Okay I’ll tell her. Take care Vanessa.”
“You too Miss Margarita! By!” Vanessa excitingly hangs up the telephone receiver.
