      Gene was working for the Crown Station in Brooklyn, Maryland   Jody was only fourteen(14) and Gene was nineteen (19), but they managed to get their own apartment despite the fact that Jody was a runaway.  
      Their apartment consisted of a refrigerator, a stove? A mattress and they were using patio furniture as a living room set.  It didn't matter really, because it was their place.  Her parents had no idea where Jody was.  Her mother "Kathy" loved her daughter and desperately wanted her to come home.... but as much as Jody loved her mother, she wasn't leaving Gene.  She was in love, but her mother as old fashioned as sge was just wasn't willing to let this nineteen year old man just take her beautiful daughter that she had the highest expectations and dreams for.  Her beautiful little girl....  Her pride, her joy, her hopes, her dreams, her little genius with 145 IQ, her little Marilyn Monroe that scored a 12th grade average in the sixth grade....  Her everything....  "HER JODY!!!!"  The decision that she would soon be forced to make would be one of the most difficult and heart breaking decisions of her life...  "HOW COULD SHE KEEP HER JODY SAFE AND HOW SHE COULD KEEP HER JODY FROM RUNNING AWAY FROM HOME YET AGAIN!"
    

       Gene came home and told Jody that Liz (A woman that he worked with at CROWN) invited them to a cookout at her house in Pumphrey, Maryland.  
     So that Saturday they accepted the invitation and Liz had arranged a ride for them .  There was only one thing Jody WORRIED about....  drinking alcohol was always a disaster.  Gene would become someone else and if there was anyone that shouldn't drink, Gene was that one. 
       There were about forty (40) to fifty (50) people there.  Jody felt somewhat awkward, because although she wasn't prejudice, she didn't know many black people and they seemed to be in the minority.... They were the only white people there, which made Jody feel put of place.  Everyone was very nice, is a matter of fact everyone was very nice and as the day went on she began to feel more and more comfortableq 
         There was only two people that rubbed her the wrong way... Her DRUNKEN GENE of course and there was another white girl  accompanied by a black man named "STANLEY".  Jody wasn't a jealous person by nature, however she didn't appreciate this thing that called herself "VANITY" strutting around in a pair of eighties "DAISY DUKES" and what's worse....  it was obvious that she had no panties on.  Jody was a lot of things, by any wasn't one of them.  She didn't hide her disgust for this girl whim obviously had no "HOME TRAINING ".
       Gene was becoming more and more disgustingly drunk, so drunk that Jody was left to fend for herself after embarrassing her only to pass out cold on one of Liz's bedrooms

      Jody tried to maintain her composure throughout the entire ordeal and in order to keep things civilized she put her feelings of utter disgust aside and was sociable with everyone, including Vanity and Stanley. 
        Jody was do hurt and angry with Gene, but it didn't change her loyalty and love for him, and just as she always did she protected and shielded his dumb ass!... What happened next would be the ultimate text of her love for Gene.  What he did was so UNBELIEVABLE even she has a hard time believing it still to this day... But  it happened and why she didn't save her self from misery and life-long devastation after this awful and terrible thing he did this time still leaves her scratching her head...   NO ONE SHOULD EVER LOVE ANYONE THIS MUCH!

      Oh no he didn't......OMG, OH YES HE DID! THE UNTHINKABLE!¿¡●  

      As always Jody found herself, once again protecting her man, which like everything else, he never did for her.  About two hours had gone by since she was humiliated by Genes behavior and then left her by getting so disgustingly fu__ed up and passing out, but_naturally Jody went to check on him.
      The lights were out and because it was a windowless room, she couldn't see a GOT_DAMMED thing.  

     WOE... WHAT HAPPENED NEXT LITERALLY BLEW HER HAIR BACK.   OH NO HE DIDN'T, OMG, OH YES HE DID THE UNTHINKABLE..THE UNIMAGINABLE!¡●

        As she stumbled around trying to find the bed, she stepped in something that felt just like stepping in dog SHIT!  The stench was HORRIFIC!  She found the light switch and hurried to to turn it off as soon as she realized what she really stepped in.  She was in utter disbelief!  Horrified by what he did and would have been simply humiliated if anyone knew what he did.  So she hurried out of the room as quickly as she could scrambling around the kitchen cupboards looking for cleaner.....  a very strong  cleaner.  She found good ole MR CLEAN and yes

      "Gene.. Gene.. wake the hell up!" she pleaded with him as she prayed that no-one would come into the room.  "Dam girl, is he OKAY in there... WTF is that smell?" a voice suddenly and unexpectedly asked her. "OH yeah he is okay, but I'm gonna kill him when we get home.....  he threw up all over and I gotta clean it up!" she replied as she tried to enter the room without opening the door all the way. 

      As she struggled not to throw up, she just couldn't find any reason for anyone to do the DOODOO on someone's carpet like a dog.  It was much, much worse then cleaning up after a dog.....  She managed to clean it up and OH WOW, guess who decided to wake up!  

        Still half baked, there was no way she was letting him put another beer anywhere near his lips.  

      They managed to get a ride and made it home where he didn't seem the least bit sorry or even embarrassed.   He said he was sorry, but she expected a lot more then "I'm sorry!" Anyhow, he left for work at about 2:30 so he be there by 3 o'clock.  

      Jody was running her bath water and singing "PAPA DON'T PREACH", she was a huge MADONNA fan when she heard a pounding on the door.  "Who is it?... hold on, I'm coming!" she shouted as she turned off the bath water and ran down the steps absolutely clueless about who could be at the door.  

      "Hey, Stan and I were visiting my sister Rose.... She lives with her boyfriend right down the street , your old man gaveus your address and told us we could stop by." Vanity said as her and Stan walked in the door
"Well? Gene isn't here, umm... he just left for work and I was just getting ready to take  bath.... So, What's up?"
She asked them with a puzzled look on her face......  "Well, your old man mentioned that you didn't know anyone around here...  so we thought that maybe you would like to meet my sister Rose... She only lives on the next block."
