CHAPTER 41 – HASH BROWNS

She thought a lot, and her mind was so full that she didn't know when she fell asleep, next thing she's waking up to the sunrise again, and to the sweet and delicious smell of something cooking in the kitchen.She turned and stretched, then she faced the window again. She wanted to stay like this for a while, but she also wanted to find out what was cooking, and she also didn't want Lauren to come into the room and tell her that breakfast was ready.She didn't wake up to Lauren beside her, but according to the foodstuffs in the house, this smelled way too good. What was it?She heard humming, it got louder and stopped, got louder and stopped, louder and stopped, Lauren was probably walking aroun

Chapter 42 – You have to leave!

Loretta paused for a while, probably waiting for Lauren to speak. A statement like that has two different meanings; either it's good, or it's bad. And right now, Loretta wasn't sure she was ready for any bad news and seeing Lauren's face clearly told her that this wasn't going to be good news at all. "Loretta! Are you doing it again? ""Doing what again?""You're doing the thing where you get lost in your head, you know, zone out completely.""I don't like your facial expression.""Loretta I just had to bring you from your thoughts, I told you something and you just kept mute, and soon I was talking and you weren't responding."

CHAPTER 43 - REALLY SORRY LORETTA

"Four thirty?" Loretta asks, puzzled "Isn't that a really weird time for a plane to take off?" "I know its weird, but that's when it does take off." "So how many hours do I have left?""Shortly five hours." "Ok, I think that's enough time for me to pack my things and organize myself. Sadly but luckily, I didn't go shopping, so I still have light weight. If I start now, I can pick everything that's mine. "Where's that knife?" "Loretta, don't tell me your trying to..." "Answer a simple question would ya." "Fine, its near the sink. What are you doing to do with it?" "I dunno, what else, I'm going to take it." "Take it? Why?" Lauren asks with a really confused look on her face. Loretta left the dining table, and started off to the kitchen,

CHAPTER 44 – FREAK

At the airport, Loretta was not in a communicating or smiling mood. Anyone that walked past her was sure going to wonder what the hell was wrong with this lady's face.Four-thirty, and she was on a plane, seated, waiting for it to take off. Luckily, she passed the checkpoint without the knife being detected. She told Lauren she would hide it well. Besides, who's bothered about a knife when there are other contrabands to worry about? Besides, she didn't look like someone who would smuggle anything into a plane.She sat as quiet as ever, wondering how Lauren would react to her note. She knows she didn't make a wrong move, and leaving a note was way better than sneaking out without telling her. Well actually, she didn't sneak out, she left like she was told to. No one said she was supposed to wake Lauren up before she left.She stayed in the plane seat, wishing she had some kind of entertainment, maybe a book or a magazine. It was extremely boring to sit and wait f

Chapter 45 – Nadine

"Attention everyone on this plane," the speaker screeched again. "We have an hour left to land at New York's airport. Please remain in your seats to avoid bad situations from the turbulence."Loretta looked at her wristwatch and sighed, "An hour? "It's more like less than an hour," she reasoned.She drifted into her thoughts again. She didn't know how that always happened, but she didn't mind it, as long as it kept her sane and busy.It was the same way Alex found her. She wondered if anyone would come to sit with her and keep her company.Of course, sir freak has already attempted this. The thing is, whenever she desperately prayed for company, she always got company. "Hi, excuse me," someone said, calling Loretta out of her thoughts."Oh, hi again," Loretta says, "Nadine, right?""Yeah, thanks for remembering my name," Nadine says, sitting next to her. "Oh sorry, I was supposed to ask first before sitting. I'll stand u

Chapter 46 – Treasured Friendships

"What heights can you go for the one you love?" These words went through her head as she listened to the goodbye message Nadine's best friend made for her.Nadine heard Loretta say it, but it didn't sound right in her ears. She wondered if she was OK."Lady Loretta! Hello, Loretta! "She tried getting her attention, but calling her didn't seem to be working, so she waved her hands in front of her.Loretta blinks and takes the headphones off."Are you OK, Loretta?""Yeah, I'm good. Why would you think something is wrong?""Nothing, it's just you muttered a few words.""I did? What did I say? " Loretta asks, confused."I think it had something to do with 'What heights would you go for' — um, what was it again? I don't exactly remember the last part. ""Oh! What heights would you go to for the one you love? ""Yeah, that was it."Wow, I muttered that? It must have slipped out while I was

Chapter 47 – Mister Taxi Man

By herself now, Loretta feels it's best to just go home and see if there's anything she needs to get done. Eating, for example, she was feeling kind of hungry now, but first, she had to leave the airport and go shopping. She wasn't sure if she had anything to eat at home."Taxi!" She yelled at a cab. She watched as it slowly screeched to a stop. a stop, right in front of her. Good thing she didn't have to stress. She got in immediately."Hello milady," the taxi driver said, "and where would you like me to take you?""Um... Main Street, please. You can stop right at that grocery store close to it." You know it right? "Well, I wouldn't be a cab driver if I didn't. Just relax and I'll get you there. But please, once you're there safely, don't forget to leave a five-star review. ""Cool, I guess."As she moved, she looked through the window and watched cars pass. The night was pretty and colorful, if only she felt colorful inside. She didn't ha

Chapter 48 – Honey Shopping In

"Mr. Jerry, a very nice name," Loretta says.It's just Jerry, lady, just Jerry."Okay, cool, so err... Jerry, could you please help me pick out something I could buy? I'm just coming from the airport, and I'm not exactly sure that I have anything at home to eat, so maybe you could be of assistance. ""I'm not sure how much help I could be right now, lady. I did say I was closing for the day.""C'mon, you're a storekeeper, you should have some ideas," Loretta pleads."Ok, um... I dunno, but you've been standing in front of the honey bottles, so maybe you could buy one of them or some of them. "Loretta thinks for a while, then yells, "Brilliant! Jerry, you are a genius. I could fry sausages and dip them in honey. Sweet.Yeah, Lady, I'm not sure that's a good idea, but if it gets you out of here and makes you call me brilliant and genius, then sure, I'll go with it."Ok, so what next? Loretta's eyes widen. She was enjoying this f

Chapter 49 - SHATTERED ALARM CLOCK

She stayed on the sofa a little longer, before getting just enough energy to do a few things. She couldn't stay here. Although it felt very soothing and comfortable, she felt like sleeping off. But no, she had to stay conscious and think of what she would do tomorrow. She thought of going to work tomorrow, but she wasn't sure yet. The thought of just showing up at work after three days when she was given a week off didn't go well in her head.

Chapter 50 - BACK TO WORK

Loretta didn't expect the kind of welcome she got. First, it was the head-turning, then total silence. It was like no one exactly recognized her. It was probably because of her hair. Damn silver hair. Then someone in the background yells " "It's just Loretta, guys!" Then a few others started saying her name. It was the weirdest moment. "Yay, Loretta's back!" "We're so glad you're back. We're in desperate times." "Welcome back, Loretta. We missed you." People around us kept saying Loretta wondered what they meant by "desperate times." She hoped everything would be OK. She decides to say something. "Awen guys, thank you. It's just been three days. You guys missed me?" "You have no idea, hottie," someone said, but she didn't know who said it. "Oh, my goodness, who said that?" "But damn girl, you got hotter." Who's saying that? Octavious, is that you? I swear if that's you, I'll kill you later. "
